ITC: 108 - How You Can Use the Socratic Discussion...

In the Classroom with Stan Skrabut ·

2021/02/15

We are going to tap into a learning method that is over 2,000 years old. It is the Socratic discussion method. The Socratic method flips the classroom instruction from one where the instructor shares information on a topic to one where students share what they know about a topic. This dialogue is achieved through open-ended questions. Through this method, you will help students discover what they know about a topic like peeling back the layers of an onion. This episode will take a closer look at the

Each term that I have been working as an instructional technologist, I have offered to show faculty members how each of the classrooms works. Only a handful of instructors take me up on it and test drive their classroom. As can be expected, they have fewer issues than many other instructors who did not capitalize on the opportunity. When rehearsing your first class, it is important to do it in the classroom you are going to teach. You want to run through different scenarios to ensure everything runs

Reading is a fuel source for lifelong learning. If you want to be competitive in today’s world, you must continue to read and learn. Our students have not yet figured this out so we must guide them. The bottom line is that students will assess your class and make a value judgment on whether they should dedicate time to reading. If you do nothing with what students have read or do the reading for them, they will never read. This episode will take a closer look at strategies for encouraging reading in

2021/01/25

I had just finished reading Small Teaching by Dr. James Lang. He devoted an entire chapter to the concept of practicing. It certainly generated a lot of ideas. When I was in the Air Force, practicing was central to everything we did as we improved our knowledge and skills. I, like Dr. Lang, believe more can be done in our classrooms to help students become more successful. We can pack our courses full of content, but if students do not get a chance to get their hands dirty, they will not grasp the

ITC: 104 - Using Library Guides in Your Classroom

2021/01/18

Because of my new role as a director of an academic library, I have been taking deep dives into how libraries can help in the classroom. While I have always appreciated the role of the library, I now have a better understanding of libguides and how they can serve you and your students. I was probably typical of most college students. I used Google and the general library database search engine. I was unaware of what libguides were and how they could help me. Instructors are in the best position to

2021/01/11

Rubrics help to add grading consistency to assignments that can be difficult to grade. Adding a grading structure makes grading assignments easier and faster. Completed rubrics provide immediate feedback to students that is meaningful. Used as a formative tool, rubrics can point out areas for improvement as students develop course products. A well-designed rubric clarifies assignment requirements. This episode will take a closer look at rubrics. Specifically, we will examine why you would want to

Scholarship is a conversation. At each instance, where it is a journal article, a class essay, or a conference presentation, we are contributing and extending the conversation. Too often students launch in a monologue rather than a discussion. They often present what they “know” without acknowledging those who contributed to their knowledge. Information literacy stresses the importance that scholarship is about dialogue. his means that we need to be teaching information literacy in every class

2020/12/28

I am a huge fan of using technology to improve performance but I also understand that technology can also quickly cause damage. It is how you use it. Turnitin is one of those tools that can improve performance but you can do a lot of damage if you use it incorrectly. Turnitin checks paper submissions for originality. In other words, it does text matching to see if the content matches previously reviewed content. It will then generate a similarity report with a score. Consider Turnitin as a check

ITC: 99 - How do Instructional Coaches Help Instructors

2020/12/14

Professional athletes, musicians, CEOs, and other successful entities use coaches to take their abilities to the next level. During my time in higher education, I noticed that faculty are reluctant to use coaches. While workshops and conferences are beneficial learning opportunities, they pale in comparison to coaching in learning a new skill or raising a performance level. We ask our students to use tutoring or coaching services because we know it works. Shouldn’t we also serve as role models by

The decision to switch LMSs has already taken place. It is now a matter of executing the decision. In this episode, I am going to focus on the migration plan. When building your migration plan, you need to gather information about all the steps that you will need to take. You need a place to build out this project plan. This week, I will be talking about my process to develop a migration plan, the tools I am using, and key elements that I will be including in my plan. Come learn more. Join me on

What is a lit trip? Basically, you plot book character or scene locations on Google Earth. You can follow the journey of the characters. Lit trips help bring stories to life. It is a form of augmented reality. When you are done creating a lit trip, you can then export the file and share it with others. You can also narrate the lit trip by creating a screencast. English teacher and technology-integration coordinator Jerome Burg helped to develop the concept of lit trips and put it on the map. This

I once had an instructor come to me complaining that none of her students completed a web creation assignment. After further investigation, I discovered that the assignment was worth only 3%. I commented that I would not have done the assignment either. The grade has to demonstrate value. Likewise, creating practice quizzes with no grade attached will not get many takers. Students have been conditioned by the education system that anything worth doing has a grade attached. If you want students to

Trying to stretch dollars, students will first purchase a mobile device before investing in a computer. In terms of convenience, students will have a mobile device in their possession virtually 24 hours per day and leave their computers at home. It only makes sense that they will try to use their mobile devices to support their learning. By creating mobile-friendly content, you can make learning easier for students and increase classroom success. Strategies for accessibility and Universal Design for

You can more quickly learn how to use new software by employing a method that Professor Allen applied at San Diego State University to help students learn new software. The method is called the Menu Item Search Strategy or more commonly known as MISS. The MISS method helps you quickly identify what you already know and what you need to learn about a piece of software. I will be employing this strategy as I help my faculty transition to a new learning management system. In this episode, we are going

Audio files are a wonderful way to supplement the content already in your courses. They can provide an alternative to text files. Additionally, students can listen to lectures over and over again at a speed of their choice. This is good for review and note-taking. In this episode, I will share six ways to capture an audio file that you can upload to your course. These methods include: Using Zoom audio recordings Recording a lecture with an audio recorder Converting text to speech Recording podcasts

I just finished reading Brain Rules by John Medina. It was a fascinating look into how the brain works. Medina talked about sensory memory, short-term or working memory, and long-term. If we want our students to remember what we are teaching them, we have to obey the rules the brain puts into place. For long term memory to form, we need to keep strengthening the connections already formed. It is a lot harder to remember something if you do not have experience with the topic. Experts are able to
