Siu - thanks for posting this GEM. I have already created an account for my daughter at Shelfari.com.
Apple's Mistake - 4 views

Apple and mistake in the same sentence...wow.

Wow is right. I read the article. Apple sets itself apart from the field by being innovative. The iPhone is as popular as ever, and yet they use a boiler plate approach to "controlling" the Apps store content.

Of course, right now I'm focused on getting them registered and getting faculty trained in their use, so at this point I'm happy with any use. However in the near future I plan to squeeze as much as I can out of them! -
Great article !!! The best use of the clickers would be a combination of both 'low level' and higher order multiple choice questions. Always good to learn something new. Thanks .

Wow! what an I opener. Sociology professor, Kathleen Bogle's comment "...Invincibility factor that young people feel...", really pinpointed what I feel has changed in students since my first year, ten years ago.
Top News - Cable industry floats broadband plan for students - 0 views

NCTA President Kyle McSlarrow said the plan has two goals: "to drive sustainable adoption in populations that currently do not benefit from broadband, and to ... positively affect educational performance among participating students."
Sounds great right? But, check out the two posted comments which both bring up good points. Keep track of this program.
The Site for Books & Readers - Shelfari - 4 views
-
A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.
-
I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!

INTERACT quadro interactivo nas salas de aula: Promethean na Educação - 3 views
-
The speaker makes many thought provoking statements that I think get to the core of what needs to happen in terms of technology's place in education. Curriculum needs to be overhauled and updated to reflect society's needs in terms of education. I think teachers should listen to this speech, because ultimately, success or failure is truly up to them.
Copy / Paste by Peter Pappas: How to Teach Summarizing: A Critical Learning Skill for Stude... - 4 views
-
Nice artice that brings insight on how to work through levels of cognition for students. So many of them cannot summarize, because, for the most part, teachers may not be using the best techniques to elicit good responses.
-
While it may be true that teachers may not use the best techniques, summarizing is a difficult skill to teach in and of itself.Most students will equate summarizing with " giving a book report" and misconstrue what summarizing truly entails. Having students sift through details and information to arrive at "the important details" is a continuous cognitive process that children reach at different levels at different times in their cognitive development which is one reason why I think this skill is so difficult to teach.
