Part 1 - Notes

** Summarize and Consider How to Use Marzano’s Nine Strategies **


 * ** Part 1: ** ||
 * ** Strategies Noted ** || ** Example from an Article ** || ** Technology Used ** || ** How Would I Use This in My Class? ** ||
 * ** Identifying Similarities and Differences ** || Venn Diagrams – to compare and contrast || Inspiration || I use that to have my students compare and contrast animals, authors, elements, etc. ||
 * ** Summarizing and Note Taking ** || Rules and teacher guided notes so students know what they are expected to do. || Word Processor Outlining tool || I would use this to help students prepare a presentation or report to gather the important facts. ||
 * ** Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition ** || Share stories of people’s accomplishments. Encourage students to keep a record of the things they do. || Wikispace where the students can show off their success. || I would use this to help the students to take ownership and pride in the things that they accomplish. ||
 * ** Homework and Practice ** || Helping students to increase their learning and become better at the skills they are working on. || Websites and wikispaces || I would use this to help post homework and time management techniques to help them succeed. ||
 * ** Nonlinguistic Representations ** || Use pictures to stimulate brain activity and get students moving. || SMART Board || I would use this to create an activity that students have to move to get involved in that deals with images for what we are discussing. ||
 * ** Cooperative Learning ** || Group students in a variety of fashions so that they get to work with different people, different/same interests, different/same abilities, etc. || Power Point, SMART Board, Glogstar || The students could create a presentation or document with their group to share with the class. ||
 * ** Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback ** || Provide students with objectives and allow them to create their own. Provide them with accurate and informative feedback. || Rubistar || Allow the students to paly around with creating their own rubrics to see what it is like. ||
 * ** Generating and Testing Hypotheses ** || Make and educated guess and then test your ideas. || Blogs- Students could blog about the information that they are finding through their testing. || I use this strategy in my science class when we test for the science fair. ||
 * ** Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers ** || The students use previous knowledge to enhance future learning. || Kidspiration and Inspiration

Mind 42 or Bubbl.us || Students can start a graphic organizer with what they know, add what they want to know, and then conclude with what they learn. ||

 * [] || I would create an assignment that breaks my students into groups that requires them to create a radio commercial that persuades us to buy their product. I would have the students research their product on the internet first. I would then require them to create an outline and script using word processing software. Next, I would have the students record their commercial using digital recording software or voice thread. If we used voice thread the students would be required to create a logo and poster to promote their product. We would finally publish this to our class wikispace so that their families could hear their commercials.

I would maybe need to modify the way the students recorded their commercial. If we didn’t have access to recording software for the computer we could just use a tape recorder and listen in our classroom. ||
