Nonlinguistic Representations

Using technology

to create an active

classroom

Essential Question

• How can I use non-linguistic representations to increase achievement for all students? (Marzano)

Objectives

• To show you several technology strategies that can be used as nonlinguistic representations of content/topics (Observe, Listen, Write, Speak)

• To show you what technology MHS has to offer

• To help you get the training and help you need (Support!)

Why?…

• What does research say? (Source: McREL “Using Technology With Classroom Instruction that Works” and Hill and Flynn “Classroom Instruction that Works with English Language Learners”)

• 4 non-negotiables that research says increases achievement and motivation: 1)setting clear objectives; 2) providing quick feedback; 3) reinforcing effort; and, 4) providing recognition

 

• What works when students are learning new knowledge: 1) advanced organizers and cues; 2) nonlinguistic representations; 3) reinforce effort; 4) summarizing and note-taking; 5) cooperative learning

 

• ALL of the above can be achieved through technology and incorporating the web sites, software and tools presented!
