How
People Learn Excerpt The National Academies Press
http://books.nap.edu/html/howpeople1/ch3.html
Here you have a whole chapter from John Bransford and
Ann Brown's book How People Learn, and the chapter is
dedicated to learning and transfer. There are clear explanations
and examples of transfer and interesting pop-up sidebars.
An appropriate read for all teachers and perhaps a good
assigned reading for faculty meetings or small-faculty
discussion groups. |
Using Apple for Transfer Tasks /
Apple Learning Interchange
http://ali.apple.com/ali_sites/ali/ilife.shtml
The Apple Learning Interchange highlights several schools and classrooms that have used various technology to transfer their class knowledge to another medium. The site chronicles electronic arts portfolios, student movies about the fifty states, and slideshows that combine art and poetry. There are suggested lessons (the current one is to compose a school song) and a search engine for looking through the archives. |
American
Odyssey Poetry Unit / Studyguide.org
http://www.studyguide.org/american_odyssey.htm
This high school English teacher's class Web site offers a very complete unit on studying American poetry using transfer in the most dynamic way: by taking a virtual trip across the country. Mrs. Adams gives a detailed breakdown of the project, the rubric she uses to evaluate her students, and how the project's components connect to the state standards. An inspirational site and unit for teachers of all genres who will surely get ideas for their own subjects and courses.
