Week 3 - Reflective Task [Sept. 1, 2011, 4:42 a.m.]
This week we will examine samples of student work and evaluate them for evidence of deeper learning. Please take a look at the following two samples:
SAMPLE #1: “On the Last Drop” (Source: UNICEF)
SAMPLE #2: Emily’s Blog
REFLECTIVE TASK QUESTIONS:
1) What evidence is there of deeper learning in Sample #1? For example, to what extent do you see critical thinking, collaboration, global outlook, etc.?
2) What evidence is there of deeper learning in Sample #2?
3) What strategies or tips should teachers keep in mind when trying to design lessons that promote deeper learning through use of social media?
