Education provides a wonderful, unique opportunity for educators to use
creative instructional strategies and methods to ensure student learning.
If we were to survey each of the strategies available, this course would
never end...I know that would not be desirable!
There are hundreds of wonderful resources that have been produced by various institutions, educators, and others that can be used to become familiar with creative teaching strategies. One that I have found very unique was developed and is continually maintained by Apple, Inc. The first strategy that we are going to work with is Problem-Based/Project-Based Learning. For each strategy there will be a Webquest for you to participate in or other material for interaction. Once you complete the activity and become familiar with the strategy, you will work to develop a lesson using that method/strategy. I have linked a form that you can use to outline what the strategy involves for your resources and information. You DO NOT have to turn this in, but it can be included within your final portfolio. PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING SUMMARY POSTER Introduction to Teaching Strategies: http://ali.apple.com/ali_sites/ali/new_intro2_72804.html View an introduction to this topic through the following link: http://ali.apple.com/ali_sites/ali/exhibits/1000328/INTRODUCTION.html. You will notice that on this site there are links to multiple creative strategies. We will be covering a number of the strategies listed on this site. From this point forward, we will be experiencing and working with multiple creative and interesting methods and teaching strategies that can be used within the classroom. Due to our limited time, there will only be a few core strategies presented in class, but I hope this introduction and investigation will spur your curiosity to continue discovery new and innovative ways to provide instruction.
