Integrating Arts & Sciences
In our new school, I'm looking to end the distinction between arts and sciences and a fully integrated curriculum seems a logical way forward. So, I'm looking to learn from individuals or schools who have experience of this even in a small way.
What works in Public Education edutopia
I am a reading/literacy teacher educator who is education teachers of reading to become reading specialists and literacy coaches. In one course, Reading, Writing, and the Inquiry Process teachers create curriculum and e-projects that educate students to use the language arts as tools for learning content and for communicating with audiences. Integrated curriculum, project-based learning, ongoing assessment, and technology integration are integral parts of the coursework. Teachers are excited when they can see exemplars. Clearly, they see students who are engaged in learning and they can see that the students are using skills and facts to create projects. One question that they will ask is this... Is there scientific research that a specific instructional approach leads to higher levels of student achievement? Have you thought of links to research that supports this approach? (ISTE, etc.)?
Technology Integration
Good Day.
I am also a technology teacher here in the Philippines, I really like to see some movie clips of on how technology be appreciated by the students.
Recently, I integrated the LEGO Robolab in my technology class. I teaching 3rd year students here, maybe it is equivalent to grade 11 in the Western countries.
