The “Teacher Brain”

Improving consistency & automaticity in teacher decision making

Improving student participation & thinking ratio to foster high level student engagement

+MOOC: Surviving Your Rookie Year of Teaching

Opportunity to communicate with other educators via discussion groups and message boards

Learning in a MOOC approach makes it easy to continue your learning on your own time, from anywhere – a must for teachers – who all need to stay current!

+Project Based Learning (PBL)

• Choice - By allowing students to make choices at various levels in projects/assignments, you are expanding their creativity which aligns with ISTE nets.

• Students take ownership for their learning – Pre-requisite learning, frustrations, challenges, celebrations, etc.

• Sharing - each others’ work is key for collaboration, therefore you can learn from one another.
