Synopsis

Your power tools for making the complex comprehensible

Now more than ever, our students are being asked to do highly advanced thinking, talking, and writing around their reading. If only there were ingenious new tools that could give our students the space to tease apart complex ideas in order to comprehend and weld their understandings into a new whole. Good news: these tools exist--Mining Complex Text. You'll learn how graphic organizers can:

  • Help students read, reread, and take notes on a text
  • Promote students' oral sharing of information and their ideas
  • Elevate organized note-making from complex text(s)
  • Scaffold students' narrative and informational writing

À propos de l?auteur

As a teacher for online courses hosted by the University of Central Florida, Dr. Thomas DeVere Wolsey is interested in how the interactions of students in digital and face-to-face environments change their learning. While much of his research centers on how visual information, such as graphic organizers, works in tandem with text to improve learning, he is also intrigued by the intersections of traditional literacies with digital literacies, specifically focusing on how those literacies affect teacher preparation and professional development.
