• A Playlist of Resources: Avatars & Internet Safety

  For as long as I can remember I've been using avatars to teach Internet safety. It's a fun and engaging way to teach students the importance of protecting their identities when they are online and a great prelude to using a variety of web 2.0 tools to support the curriculum.

• How the Flipped Classroom Turned Me into a Better Student - Getting Smart

  "The flipped classroom made a huge impact on my education – and life. Without the change in my class structure, I don’t think I would be applying to colleges and thinking about continuing my education beyond high school. Not only did my grades and scores improve, but I began enjoying school and learning, and it taught me how to learn and think on my own. The flipped class turned me into a better student."

• What is Islamic banking

  Islamic banking is a banking action which is steady with the Islamic law (Shariah). Islamic banking is done as per the tenets of Shariah, regarded as fiqh muamalat (Islamic manages on transactions). It tries not to permit the paying and appropriating of riba’ (premium) and furthers more amazing level of decency and value in the behavior of banking business.The foremost Islamic bank was created in Malaysia in 1983. In 1993, business banks, dealer banks and back groups were permitted to give Islamic banking items and aids under the Islamic Banking Scheme (IBS banks). The IBS banks are needed to guarantee that the trusts and actions of the Islamic banking transactions are divided from the traditional banking business.All permitted Islamic banks and IBS banks are needed to showcase the Islamic banking logo as demonstrated beneath:SHARIAH PRINCIPLES IN ISLAMIC BANKINGThe guidelines and standards of fiqh muamalat radiated from two essential origins of Shariah specifically the Quran and the Sunnah and different auxiliary and legitimate origins of Islamic law.

• Scaffolding for Deeper Understanding

  "Posted by Peter Skillen on Nov 30, 2012 in The How of 21st Century Teaching, Peter Skillen writes, How CAN we help our students be the kind of thinkers we want?Several years ago, my friend and colleague, @brendasherry, wrote a thoughtful post called "What is Deep Understanding?" She asked several excellent questions:what kind of thinkers do we want our students to be?what is deep understanding?can schools really provide the learning environment to nurture and develop it?In thinking about these questions, I would like to also ask: “How can we help novice learners become more expert learners?”

  • Schoenfeld has said that, ‘Groups are not just a convenient way to accumulate the individual knowledge of their members. They give rise synergistically to insights and solutions that would not come about without them.’
  • Encourage the philosophy in the classroom that “deep thinking is a highly valued activity.”
  • collaborative journal writing environments
  • have found that (in addition to the familiar strategies associated with student-driven, authentic inquiry-based projects) scaffolded, collaborative journal writing is helpful to move kids beyond the social comments.

  • The elaboration triggers are connecting words or phrases that can be used to help kids extend their thinking beyond what they might otherwise attempt. So once they write something, they are encouraged to check the list of ‘elaboration triggers’ to think more deeply.
