For Your Hands: Toolbox Tip of the Week

Create Rotating "Stations" to Help Manage Hybrid Setting

1. Provide a common opening and closing activity that all students will participate in or complete at the same time during the class period.

2. Set up 3 or 4 tasks that students need to engage in or complete during the class period, and divide the class into the same number of groups. Depending on your numbers, students at home may be one group, or you may mix students at home & in-person students in groups. Each group works through the rotation of activities at prescribed times.

3. One of the tasks may include a mini-lesson or discussion with you, one may include independent work on a quiet task (reading, writing, practice, etc.), and one may include a collaborative task involving completion of a product that will be collected.

For Your Head: Thinking about PBL
(From Your Checklist for Virtual Project-Based Learning, By Glenn Whitman, Ian Kelleher, Edutopia.org)

"...A starting point: While some see PBL as part of a vision to remake the American school, it’s not always an efficient way to impart core knowledge and skills. Direct instruction, which involves a lot of radar pings and low-stakes testing to determine how students are doing—followed by more instruction and practice based on any knowledge gaps you find—is more effective in that regard...

"Psychology professor David Daniel’s insights can help us navigate the terrain between learning core skills, and beginning challenging new projects. Daniel says that the goal of learning should be to create knowledge that is durable, usable, and flexible: durable far beyond the length of your course; known well enough to be actually usable by students; and flexible enough that they can use it in new contexts. Once core concepts are engrained, that’s when projects can really shine—it can be where durability, usability, and flexibility are built, where true learning takes place."
