I am a grade two teacher in Saint John, New Brunswick. I have a strong focus on technology in my class and love teaching math.

Ignore any misconceptions! We’re still learning! @SchoolBayview #conceptcircle #mathisfun

Can we grow seeds in the fall? We will certainly try - turnip, lettuce, peas and spinach. Also an excellent harvest of cherry tomatoes from the Bayview School garden. @SchoolBayview #schoolgarden

@NyahReese I like how the article connects behaviourism and social learning theory and tells why observational learning is so important!

[MrsRTeaches @MrsRTeaches1]

@MrsMcHugh_it I like the attention to the flipped classroom and peer teaching/coaching in this article.

[MrsRTeaches @MrsRTeaches1]

This blog gives a good explanation of social learning theory and how it can be used in e-learning. This article is very relevant in a time where so many people are working from home but there are ways to make it social.

This teacher saw that the traditional gradual release of responsibility was not empowering his students. Inquiry and collaborative group work led him to a more student-centered approach.

A very interesting article testing collaborative learning in young children using a multi-touch table in a preschool classroom.

@deckard_meagan I like the example of the gravity lesson. Very interesting.

@art_MrsCannon I like the way the author clarifies constructionism and constructivism... constructing physically and constructing mentally.

[MrsRTeaches @MrsRTeaches1]

This blog post is a great reminder to encourage higher-order thinking using Blooms. Great question stems.

[New Perspectives on Learning @ctfosnot]

For access and equity, we need powerful contexts which invite low floor/high ceiling investigations with multiple entry points, with assessment and challenges in the moment while conferring. Learning is not about "covering."

[MrsRTeaches @MrsRTeaches1]

This article looks at the effect technology can play in a constructivist-based classroom. With careful planning, it can lead to more engagement, more collaboration, and more critical and higher-order thinking skills.

A comparison between constructivist, technology-based math classrooms vs. more traditional classrooms? Student-centered or teacher-centered – which one will win?

This blog post from Learning and the Brain illustrates the importance of students having some prior knowledge to build learning.

How best to use visuals and gestures to help students learn?

@BenRogersEdu has studied the research, summarized it wisely, and boiled it down to this slide show.

It's worth a thoughtful review: a model of clarity and helpfulness.

This article from Edutopia on the use of graphic organizers helps the reader understand how graphic organizers can help students organize and scaffold their learning.

Does the length of Interactive video affect learning and retention of information? Yes, it does! Very interesting scholarly article based on Cognitive Learning!

@art_MrsCannon Likes and replies on Social Media I think really reflect how Behaviorism is at play on the internet. Immediate positive reinforcement!
