Students as content creators
Discussions from the magazine, website and social media
One of Michael Seery’s most recent blog posts reflected on a workshop he attended on using stop motion animations to facilitate group discussion in science. Teachers agreed this was a valuable teaching tool and even got in touch to share examples from their students.
Also on our blog in November Kristy Turner wrote in praise of school science technicians. ‘I cannot imagine teaching chemistry without technical support,’ said Kristy. Teachers across the world responded and told us about their technician support, or lack of it.
Last issue, David Smith asked What do we want our students to be? In his Endpoint article he explained how we need to convert our students from consumers into creators. Following this, David (@professor_dave) started a conversation on Twitter: Creative students are best placed to succeed in world of research. Do exams really matter? which sparked an interesting dialogue.
