Weaving Best Practices and Technology Integration

This document explores the concept of "best practices" in education, focusing on research-based strategies that enhance student learning outcomes. It emphasizes the importance of understanding that practices effective in one context may not yield the same results in another. Key strategies include cooperative learning, summarization, and the use of technology to improve engagement. Resources such as Venn diagrams for comparing concepts and interactive platforms for practice are highlighted to aid educators in implementing these best practices.

  2. Best Practices and Research-Based Strategies SERC - What is "Best Practice?" The term "Best Practice" has been used to describe "what works" in a particular situation or environment. When data support the success of a practice, it is referred to as a research-based practice or scientifically based practice. As good consumers of information, we must keep in mind that a particular practice that has worked for someone within a given set of variables may or may not yield the same results across educational environments. http://ctserc.org/s/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=8&Itemid=28 (State Education Research Center)

  3. Marzano’s Research • Identify similarities and differences • Summarizing and note taking • Reinforcing effort and providing recognition • Cooperative learning • Generating and testing a Hypothesis • Questions, cues, and advanced organizers • Homework and practice • Setting objectives and providing feedback • Non-linguistic representations

  4. Focus on synthesizing and restructuring information http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/venn_diagrams/ Identify Similarities and Differences Using: Venn Diagrams – templates in Word (example) –save to a common area –all students can open the document and save back to their own personal drive or flash drive Interactive: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/ Analogies – www.quia.com http://www.quia.com/key.html Analogy search http://www.quia.com/pop/133572.html
