It can be used to show students fractions (how "half of that" differed after the whole number changed), comparing, recording information in a graph, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/207321?scroll_to=1972700 https://nowcomment.com/documents/207321?scroll_to=1972700 Wed, 25 Nov 2020 09:46:11 -0500 This is a very visual way to describe what a virus is without overwhelming a student. I like how the vocabulary is written out for reinforcement. https://nowcomment.com/documents/207324?scroll_to=1972699 https://nowcomment.com/documents/207324?scroll_to=1972699 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:48:48 -0400 Yes, this is not a clear example. Is the brick layer laying (2*10 + 6) or (1*10 + 6 + 1*10)? https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972698 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972698 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:45:05 -0400 Yes, This is a good way to know they were able to apply the skill of adding and subtracting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972697 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972697 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:42:17 -0400 I am able to visualize these math problems. This would help students better understand the math problem. You can also easily provide manipulative to help students better understand. https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972696 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208465?scroll_to=1972696 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:41:16 -0400 I was expecting to see the region frequencies as presented. NY was hit hard but was able to almost flat line the curve. I have heard that when you go down south wearing a mask you get funny looks, the opposite in NY. https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972695 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972695 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 18:01:47 -0400 I agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972694 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972694 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:37:01 -0400 Looking at the chart I see that the generations of Baby Boomers and GenZers use masks more regularly than generations between them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972693 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972693 I am wondering how that happened. From multiple media sources pushing to open schools, we are informed that younger students are less likely to suffer complications.Subsequently, if GenZers are wearing masks so often why aren't their parental generations also wearing masks as often? Furthermore, we know from the high rates of mortality in nursing homes, that older generations are more susceptible, making sense of Baby Boomers having higher rates of frequency. Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:35:51 -0400 This article is a great way to provide real life experience into science. This paragraph is a great reminder to students that science is always developing and a continuous discipline. Just because you found one answer, does not mean you stop inquiring. https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972664 https://nowcomment.com/documents/208763?scroll_to=1972664 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:29:55 -0400 I see that these five reflective outcomes are imperative to multiliteracies but notice it has nothing to do with reading and writing. I support this! https://nowcomment.com/documents/206836?scroll_to=1972663 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206836?scroll_to=1972663 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:23:40 -0400 Our students are living a different life than we lived. Their lives have always been digital. Students are reading, writing, speaking, listening, and typing to communicate in their world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/206836?scroll_to=1972662 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206836?scroll_to=1972662 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:16:21 -0400 Lifeworld: various experiences of the same individual through their professional, public, and personal lives. https://nowcomment.com/documents/206834?scroll_to=1972660 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206834?scroll_to=1972660 Thu, 19 Dec 2024 23:38:21 -0500 Multi = Many & Literacies = Way of communicating. The multiliteracy practice understands that students develop different skills and different times during their life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/206834?scroll_to=1972658 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206834?scroll_to=1972658 The same person speaks differently in their work life and personal life. Sun, 19 Jan 2025 20:27:59 -0500 Personally, I do not retain information I remember for a test. I need to attach a memory to it, usually visual or textile. https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972647 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972647 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 13:06:52 -0400 Children are intrinsically multi-modal. Then school expects them to "read, write, read, write, test, read, don't touch, don't move, don't scribble." "It is antihuman". https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972621 In my pedagogy, I understand that students with learning disabilities or students who disrupt their learning process or the process of others may be struggling with the method of modality they are expected to receive or produce. Students end up frustrated and/or cannot focus. Sun, 06 Sep 2020 15:07:12 -0400 Didactic: intended to teach, particularly in having moral instruction as an ulterior motive. https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972606 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206833?scroll_to=1972606 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:56:33 -0400 "Engaging young people around the literacies and the issues that matter to them should be the heart of what we do in education" https://nowcomment.com/documents/206832?scroll_to=1972601 https://nowcomment.com/documents/206832?scroll_to=1972601 Enrnest Morrell and IUME are engaging students through a youth research project, this allows the students to find answers to the questions they identify with. Ernest Morrell speaks about empowering students to understand that they bring their own set of capabilities into the classroom. Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:50:08 -0400 Maria may benefit with some 1:1 instruction. She is able to complete her math problems but will not be able to apply the discipline in future assignments without understanding. 1:1 would give a better view of where she is misunderstanding or needs support https://nowcomment.com/documents/212002?scroll_to=1972330 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212002?scroll_to=1972330 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:08:35 -0400 Your description can help a team of professionals and parents (chair of review) really see Christian without having to disrupt his class time with multiple observations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/212174?scroll_to=1972329 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212174?scroll_to=1972329 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:06:12 -0400 Juanita, this was a fantastic exemplar and resource. I did not understand the assignment to be so intricate. Furthermore, I believed that a descriptive review of a child was to be written very factually about the child with no outside information or bias. https://nowcomment.com/documents/212174?scroll_to=1972328 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212174?scroll_to=1972328 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:06:12 -0400 Derek needs structured and scaffolded support to keep him focused. That is evident is his enjoyment of step and sequence math and needed something to follow and look back on in science and social studies. https://nowcomment.com/documents/213122?scroll_to=1972325 https://nowcomment.com/documents/213122?scroll_to=1972325 Fri, 21 Aug 2020 11:59:01 -0400 Description of a Child: Formal Learning https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955491 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955491 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 17:02:39 -0400 Description of a Child: Formal Learning https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955490 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955490 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 17:02:02 -0400 I wonder If you agree with my ideas I share at the end of this passage. I think his fathers passing happened when he was first left back. We do not know why, but we know language was not a barrier yet because he was still in Santo Domingo. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955489 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955489 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 17:00:16 -0400 If George is 16, his father passed away when he was 8, around 3rd grade. Could his academic withdrawal be due to the stress and grievance of his fathers passing? https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955474 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955474 Tue, 19 Jul 2022 11:42:39 -0400 I am having a hard time figuring Georges age out. In the US, you are usually 16-17 years old in 11th grade (I added two years onto 9th grade, since George was left back twice). https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955472 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955472 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:53:33 -0400 This answers my question from earlier, wondering if his father still lived in Santo Domingo. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955457 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955457 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:47:53 -0400 Great annotation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955456 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955456 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:46:38 -0400 This complements his visual note taking. He is better able to express himself visually compared to verbally. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955455 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955455 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:45:24 -0400 I agree with you Jessica. In support of your idea, I would use what we know about George, "His comprehension of English is Advanced, and his productive language skills slightly lower.". https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955454 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955454 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:45:24 -0400 I think he is saying that. But he probably heard from someone that he is wasting time. I am thinking he takes longer than the average student to complete assignments. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955453 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955453 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:41:47 -0400 It must be hard for George to keep switching schools. Even in the same education system, schools do things differently from one another. https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955452 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955452 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:40:34 -0400 Why was George left back in 3rd grade in Dominican Republic? https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955451 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955451 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:38:27 -0400 Who lives at home with George? Multi-generations? Extended family such as aunts, uncles, cousins? Is his father still in Santo Domingo? Does he travel back to Santo Domingo? https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955450 https://nowcomment.com/documents/204570?scroll_to=1955450 Thu, 13 Aug 2020 16:36:30 -0400
