Deliberate acts of facilitation

What is this? How am I embedding this into my work? Is it working?
Modeling exactly what you would like the teacher to do, actually stopping and making the connections for the teacher. "Where else could you use this strategy?"  How can you use this in your teaching?
Making sure they have noticed and connected to what you are modeling and the importance of it.
This week I used a literacy example from the WOLF Fisher research in relation to the cybersmart curriculum on blogging.

1. Jot down 20 important words from the videos. (could be a reading, book, chapter, picture)
2. Now highlight the 6 MOST important words.
3. Now use those six words, to sum up, the video in a couple of sentences.

The challenge for the teachers was to think we're in their teaching they would use this example. Where would it be relevant? What is the purpose?

Create

A fantastic workshop. The create activity for the video was so much fun and we got very creative and had to work as a team. Looking forward to presenting this with our teachers in our clusters.
