"You know the drill—with the winter holiday celebrations come those familiar “Top Ten Lists.” Top ten films of 2016... In keeping up with tradition, we here at EdSurge like to throw our hat in the ring with a selection of the top ten most popular too."
EdSurge has been publishing their Top Ten S'Cool Tools for quite a few years, and you may find some new ones in this list. What makes this list a bit different is that these tools are chosen by the readers of EdSurge. Take a few minutes and see if you can fine one new tool to bring into your classroom.
In this post Gorman explains why he likes driving questions and how they differ from essential questions. He states "they allow students to work together in the amazing process of divergent thinking."
Gorman also notes that it is difficult to create good driving questions (and one might say the same can be true with essential questions). The image above looks at questions asked in "educationese" and how one might translate that to a driving question.
In addition he provides links to quite a few resources that include:
* A resource that looks at concepts of the driving question
* A variety of resources on Project Based Learning, including how to craft a driving question (which also includes a video)
* Practice with driving questions
