What is it?
Concept mapping were first introduced in the 70s by a professors at Cornell University. Concept maps are based off of the theory present by Asubel that states; “learning is meaningful when the student comprehends the relationship of what is being learned to other knowledge". Concept maps allow students to connect prior knowledge, similar content, and much more. There are a lot of different ways that students can use concept maps. Concept maps can compare similarities and differences between concepts, brainstorm ideas, display sub-content of an overall topic, and so on. Students may also use concept maps when they are collaborating with their peers to further add on to the ideas they have.
Examples:
Examples:
There is no set way to do a concept map so there is plenty of examples for students to look at. I have included my example I made for government PRAXIS review above. It can also be used in all the content areas. On the right I have included two pictures of different concepts maps. The first one is a sticky note concept map which you can do with all your students or in groups of students. The second is a blank concept map that students could use for a outline or that could use as a temple for students to fill out in a class.

As mentioned before it allows students to connect prior knowledge, similar content, and much more. It allows for students to engage in collaborate with their peers. There is also no wrong way for students to create a concept map. The one shown on the right is the one that I did for the government PRAXIS review was done online via Coogle. However, students may do it through pen and paper, on posters, whiteboards, sticky notes, etc. Students can be as creative as they want and add as many stems as they want. This not only always students a visual as to how events, people, and dates all connect, but it also shows the teacher what students have learned or already have prior knowledge on.

I really enjoyed making a my concept mapping. I will use this in my classroom when I am introducing a concept that has been introduced to them before. I really like concept maps as a review tool to see how much the students know about the topic. Students also get to go more in depth about the topic if they are able to and if they are not they get to showcase what they do know. The students input will influence my teaching.

What is marking the text?
Marking the text is an active reading strategy for students. It allows for students to critically think about what they are reading. Students get to highlight, circle, write, etc. One the text that they are given. It can be used for all different types of reading skills. For example, on the right I have included my worksheet that I made for class on the right. This worksheet is for summarizing, but it can also be used for identifying the main idea, details, sequence of events, etc.
Examples:
Examples:
As mentioned before I have included a worksheet I created for my students to use. On the right I have included two different handouts/poster for students to look at while they are making the text. It is important to note that each text should include a key for the students to know how you want them to mark it. To see an example that is fully completed you can see the one I did in class right here; Complete marking the text. Plus note that there is no key on this worksheet, but it should have repeated marks as a good writer should restate their point and include details to support their point throughout the text. On the first image on the right there is also an example on the bottom right.

Marking the text will help students improve their reading comprehension skill. When students are able to identify key details they are able to go back and reflect using those same details they found once before. They can also connect ideas within the text. Often times students have a hard time see how each idea connect to one another but the students will have a visual right in front of them when they highlight or circle each topic. Finally, it will assist them in writing. Mainly it will help students summarize as they have already identify what the main ideas are and the key details that will help them summarize what is important in the text.

How will I use it in my classroom:
I will use this in all of my content areas. However, I see myself using this most in social studies and in ELA. Allowing students to figure out the main idea for themselves and come up with what they deem important allows them to be in charge of their education a little more than usual. I will first model this before handing it over to the students so that they can see how to use it effectually. When I am first giving it to the students I will set up guidelines for how many details, terms, and main ideas they should have. As time goes on I will loosen the guidelines so that they can mark it on their own terms.

What is it?
What is it?
This website allows for teachers and students to create a story/timeline on any topic. There is a premium option that allows for videos to be embedded, 'did you know' questions, images to be added, and so much. The students are still able to add videos and websites just by copying the link into the text box. There is packs and resources that are available to students and teachers at all different levels. Students can collaborate, present, and share their creations with their peers.
Examples:
Examples:
On the Sutori website there is already a bunch of templets for teachers and students to use. Here is the Sutori that I made for the geography PRAXIS review: Geography PRAXIS review. I did not have access to the premium, but as you can see I was still able to make it work. I added two videos, three pictures, and three links to different resources.
How it is effective:
How it is effective:
Students are able to collect videos, images, and resources all in once place. The students are also able to work together on a story and come up with all different types of add on. The students are able to determine what is important about a topic and go depth into it. Stories are able to be added on to at any point. The students are also given the resources to create a story about different topics. Students of all different ages are able to use it because of how is it is to use.

I plan to use this when the students need to review a topic. This is a great place to put all the different resources they have collected throughout the semester. Timelines are a big thing for Sutori and in social studies. This would be a great resource for the students to use when they are creating timelines about events. The students can add as many post as they want, but I would set some guidelines until they are more familiar with it.

What is it?
Edpuzzle is an online resource for teachers. Teachers are able to pull from their personal videos, web-based videos, or YouTube. Teachers can then crop and use other content with it. Teachers can do things like voiceovers, add questions, comments, or add other resources for the students. Teachers are also able to see how the students engaged with the video or content presented. Teachers can also assign students to create their own video.
Examples:
Examples:
On the Edpuzzle website there is already videos made for teachers to choose from. Youtube or web-based videos are all up for grabs for teachers as well so the options are endless. I have made a couple of Edpuzzles for different content areas. For examples, I made a Economics for kids video though Edpuzzle. I broke the video down into different kinds of questions, a voiceover, comments, and more.

How is it effective?
It gets students to engage more with videos instead of just watching it. Edpuzzle gives the teacher feedback and helps grade them as they go. Students are also given the opportunity to create their own videos. That is a great creative outlet for students and engages them in the content. Online learning has gotten huge in the past couple years and this website helps better education from afar.

How I will use it in my classroom:
I plan to use this a lot when I am showing videos to my class. I have never liked the idea of just showing students a video and hoping they pay attention to the video. If I use a video I want kids to engage with it and be able to understand it without me hovering over them. I can use this in any content area and with any topic. I would also love to be able to see kids make their own videos because they can get really creative with it and cover any topic they would like.

What is it?
What is it?
This is a comprehension strategy to use with text. The teacher will identify things that the students need to answer. Those can be things like questions the student has, things they learned, images, answers to questions, etc. The teacher gets to put the number to the item they want so the possibility are endless. It can be used in any content area and any topic that has media.
Examples:
Examples:
Like I said before there are endless possibilities for this activity. You can make it more advanced for older students or those who need a challenge as well. For example, instead of a 3-2-1 I had a 1-2-3-3-2-1 summary. There is so many websites that have example worksheets . To the right is the summary I did for my social studies methods. We did this one over a YouTube video.
How is it effective?
How is it effective?
This can be used for all different types of media. Text, videos, pictures, etc. It can also be differentiated very easily. Like I said you can add or lower the numbers for students. This activity allows students to focus on key details or ideas and it allows for a little more freedom than usual. The teacher can also see what a common question was or what the students found most important depending on their questions.

How I will use it in my classroom:
I plan to use this activity in all content areas and with all different types of topics. There is no limit to what I can use this with and that is really refreshing. I do not like to just have students watching a video or reading a text without something to go along with it because the students are not really engaged. Having the students write while they are watching something has proven to increase their learning. I also really like that it can easily be modified for students above or below.
