Really amazing thinking about teaching/learning, and he has written some of the BEST stuff on assessment/grading that I've seen anywhere (including published materials, referred journals, etc.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156274994401292707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5485236030082659520.post-49696422465038604152012-03-06T23:29:57.487-08:002012-03-06T23:29:57.487-08:00I want to recommend another psych blog, which at l...I want to recommend another psych blog, which at least for IB teachers and students is a treasure of resources and ideas: http://cranepsych.edublogs.org/<br />http://cranepsych2.edublogs.org/<br /><br />If you're a math teacher, there are incredibly many blogs to follow. The most famous one is probably Dan Myers' http://blog.mrmeyer.com/ and in natural science there is somewhat radical http://shawncornally.com/wordpress/<br /><br />Overall, through my own teaching (math and psych) and following blogs, I've come to the opinion that math/science teachers care less about what to teach (the curricula don't usually allow much choice) but all the more about how to teach it. In psychology/social science, I think this relationship is reversed. Our psych students can learn the subject well through reading, videos, etc - they are more motivated and independent of the teacher than are math students usually, and the blogs reflect this difference. Personally, I'd really like to read more about teaching strategies in psychology as well. There are websites which describe strategies, such as http://www.udel.edu/dssep/strategies.htm , and I'd like to hear about how teachers actually apply this to teaching psychology.Julia Tsyganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354702485097004759noreply@blogger.com
