Educators often talk about 21st-century skills and the benefits of incorporating communication, creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking into lessons. These are skills students rarely learn straight out of a textbook. The best way to teach them, we’ve found, is by making these skills a relevant part of their active lives.

This article discuss the results based on K-12, but the concepts can also be implemented in the Higher Education classroom. There is a push for more active learning in higher ed and this is a great way to get started.

Project-based learning (PBL) is essential to developing necessary skills in student's education. I can remember multiple instances throughout my time in school where I've understood the concept better simply because I was applying the ideas.

"Researchers have long been searching for better ways to learn. In recent decades, experts working in cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience have opened new windows into how the brain works, and how we can learn to learn better. In this program, we look at some of the big ideas coming out of brain science. We meet the researchers who are unlocking the secrets of how the brain acquires and holds on to knowledge. And we introduce listeners to the teachers and students who are trying to apply that knowledge in the real world." Via Beth Dichter

This radio documentary focuses on current research on how we learn. You may listen to the documentary, or you may read the transcripts. There are three programs that discuss: * This is Your Brain on Language - This portion focuses on raising a bilingual child. It turns out that children whom are bilingual have higher executive functioning skills. * Learning to Love Tests - That's right, we can teach students to love tests, but only if we use them correctly! * Variation is Key to Deeper Learning - Trial and error is one way to learn, but it turns out that if you "build a level of desirable difficulty" into the learning process (and tests) students may retain more knowledge and skills. Choose to listen to the interviews with experts in these areas, or read through the transcripts to learn more about this new research and how it may impact your teaching and your students.

Why would we want to use next gen tools in our classroom? One reason is they provide a richer experience for our students, richer content, potentially richer discussions, and more as well as the fact that these tools are often multi-disciplinary and multi-sensory. The 25 tools listed here address large parts of the curriculum as well as grade levels. Five are listed below. Click through to the post to learn more about them and twenty more. * PBS for Educators has many resources available. This post highlights three specifically: Point of View (which is geared to older students); SCI Girls (think STEM); and Daily News Story (as you probably guessed we are talking current events). * Big History Project goal is to develop a full curriculum for high school. At this point they have four key areas: the universe, or solar system and Earth, Life and Humans, with a total of seven "threshholds." * Do you want your students to publish work online? Consider checking out EduBlog, KidBlog and Blogger? Have fun exploring and teach your students (and yourself) some next gen tools!

Check out this infographic which focuses on scaffolding for deeper understanding. Mia MacMeekin has provided a nine step process. 1. Ask a question. 2. Present a mystery for students to solve. 3. Ask students to draw what they know. 4. Give students ample time to research the mystery. 5. Ask students to draw the mystery and the solution again. 6. Ask students to share their drawings with other students. 7. Ask students to pull their ideas together in one drawing. 8. Teacher patiently asks what if questions. 9. If students needs more information, send them back to step #4, and start over again until the outcome or objective is reached. MacMeekin notes that her students were engaged in the drawing/scaffolding phase of this and reached a deeper understanding than other classes had. It is also important to note that the ant is actually an analogy. To learn more click through to the post.

In the U.S., millions of middle and high school students attend schools that don’t match the reality of their lives. By their teenage years, young people should be solving complex problems, thinking critically about tough concepts, and communicating their ideas effectively. Yet, our schools are organized to be lecture-based, encouraging students to simply memorize facts and follow rules. Via Elizabeth E Charles

Deeper Learning es el término que se utiliza para referirse a las competencias, conocimientos y habilidades que los estudiantes deben desarrollar para tener éxito en el siglo XXI y, por tanto, lo que deberían saber y ser capaces de hacer cuando se gradúen en el sistema educativo.

35 Psychology-Based Learning Strategies For Deeper Learning
Have you ever considered letting your students listen to hardcore punk while they take their mid-term exam? Decided to do away with Power Point presentations during your lectures? Urged your students to memorize more in order to remember more? If the answer is no, you may want to rethink your notions of psychology and its place in the learning environment.
