    "What we want to assess is how well prepared people are to learn new things in a nonsequestered environment where they have access to technology tools and social networks," says Bransford. Compared to typical standardized tests, for which seeking new information would be considered cheating, he says this model is "way more motivating, much more interesting for students, and much more valid in terms of what people really need to do when they get out of school."

Facebook a valid educational tool, teachers told | Education | Education Guardian - 0 views

  • Teachers and lecturers are getting the lowdown on how to use social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo in an educational way.

    Most schools and colleges in the UK block access to the websites but they are missing out on their potential for education, a government-funded guide says.

    The report for Childnet International and funded by Becta, the government body for technology in learning, says while teachers and lecturers may be using social networking services they may not recognise the educational potential for their students.

    Schools could help students develop "e-portfolios" where learners can record their achievements and collect examples of their work, the guide suggests. Or teachers could use social networking services to set up groups that "semi-formalise" students' online communications and "document discussions and milestones as they go".

    Young people are more likely to have learned their social networking skills from their friends or classmates than from any formal instruction or support from adults.

    Young people are more likely to have learned their social networking skills from their friends or classmates than from any formal instruction or support from adults. But as social networking spills over into the classroom, with students using sites to collaborate on homework projects or discuss lessons, they can provide many opportunities, the report says.

Comparing Schools in Finland and in the United States - FLOSSE Posse - 0 views

shared by paul reid on 12 Aug 08 - Snapshot
  • In Finland the educational system, as it is today, was build slowly. It is still strongly relying on the work of Uno Cygnaeus ( 1810-1888 ) who was influenced by the early European “constructivist” Pestalozzi ( 1746–1827 ) and Froebel ( 1782 –1852 ). The idea that children learn the best when they areactive and build things was not really invented by John Dewey or Piaget – they only were able to present the idea in a language of positivist science, when the earlier thinkers thought themselves as “pedagogues” or educational philosophers.

    the eStrategy mentions embedded practice (as opposed to undeveloped) it includes "Embedded
    The site has developed innovative approaches to the sharing of effective practice, coaching and mentoring within and beyond the site and makes use of technology to achieve this. Child and student, peer and/or community mentors are an essential component. Organised and planned processes are in place to support and enhance teaching and learning activities and opportunities." and
    "Resources - Virtual Environments
    All children and students and staff contribute to virtual learning environments, complementing and extending teaching, learning and the curriculum. There is provision for children and students to create their own personal learning spaces. Virtual learning environments are fully integrated with the site's learner and curriculum management systems."

Computer self-learning Experiment in India "Hole-in-the-Wall" - 0 views

  • In an amazing experiment a Delhi-based IT professional has proved that
    kids can learn computer skills on their own. Over the years the results of
    Dr. Mitra’s experiments have been so spectacular that the National
    Geographic Channel has made a film on his unique research.
  • Again, to his surprise he discovered that the slum kids
    quickly taught themselves how to surf the Internet, read news and download
    games and music. Dr. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other
    locations, with the same results---within hours the children would teach
    themselves how to use the Net.

      Criotical skill, making meaning out of experience. Statistical methods and qunatitative data will tell what is going on but not why. Qualitative approach grounded in the lived experince with customized interventions. I like Twitter and IM idea and the notion that you don't need a hard drive full of stuff but a network of people who know stuff.
