    A1 Persistence! When things get difficult, they shut down too fast! #sstlap

    A1 Ss rarely came with any refined ability to think - critically, logically, or thoughtfully. They expected to take notes & regurg. #sstlap

  • chrislewis_10 Sep 21 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Also learning Ss don't know diff between revision/editing. Leveraged suggesting mode in Docs so I can see their revisions. #sstlap

  • nbbspqr Sep 21 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Have to be aware w/o study skills our content doesn't stick and thus what we teach has little meaning to the Ss. #sstlap
  • scottmpetri Sep 21 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Teaching Ss how to apply the content with a skill isn't as easy as it seems. Learning activities are cyclical. #sstlap

  • scottmpetri Sep 21 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    The processing activities are key. If brain doesn't think content is important, it automatically throws it out #sstlap
    In reply to @nbbspqr
  • TchrThorn Sep 21 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2: It's about finding ways to embed study skills in the content! #sstlap

    This seems minor, but is huge if Ss have to present a digital portfolio at the end of their HS exp. #sstlap

    Absolutely. Study skills help reinforce important concepts while reducing time spent by Ss on work. #sstlap
    In reply to @scottmpetri
  • chrislewis_10 Sep 21 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    True. But it's the mindset of planning 4 success. Labels. Calendars. Structure. They lead Ss to spend less time searching aimlessly #sstlap

    A3: Give them a good reason for taking notes - there should be a task that requires them to use the notes. #sstlap
  • nbbspqr Sep 21 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    Can definitely empathize there. Used to be one of those students, til I started failing assignments I couldn't find. #sstlap

    I ask questions for each bit. I don't want them to just copy everything #sstlap

    A3: #sketchnotes gets them interested as more than just notes #sstlap
  • chrislewis_10 Sep 21 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    If they never use notes, why take them in the first place? We have to find ways to make important ideas recursive so Ss see value #sstlap

  • scottmpetri Sep 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    A3 I like to build form assmnts from the notes Ss take. Gives them a reward when they can use notes to answer ?s #sstlap
  • CHitch94 Sep 21 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Agree. Think it is important to teach diff note-taking styles/formats and let Ss use what works best for them and/or the task. #sstlap
  • chrislewis_10 Sep 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    A3: my AVID heart says Cornell Way but know 2 columns seems limiting. More about process. Add Qs. Revise. Summarize. More like ISN #sstlap
  • scottmpetri Sep 21 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    A3 I find doing a turn & talk after taking notes helps Ss realize if they are writing down the right info. #sstlap

    Yes! Learning to identify bias and find reliable sources of information/content. #sstlap
