      It's great to have a glossary.  It may be some thing the student in the course can do to understand badging.

      I think students sometimes need steps, and this is a great resource for students to think about what they will actually be doing.

      Badging is specifically, and most importantly, built on the idea of eportfolios or some system that contains the work being assessed.  A great connection.

  • If we really want to democratize education, finding creative ways to realistically open up colleges to different communities will do more to help than a model that, despite its stated intentions, is more beneficial for students who are already wealthy, academically prepared and highly motivated.

Virtual and Artificial, but 58,000 Want Course - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Stanford University on artificial intelligence, to be taught this fall by two leading experts from Silicon Valley, has attracted more than 58,000 students around the globe — a class nearly four times the size of Stanford’s entire student body.
  • For example, the Khan Academy, which focuses on high school and middle school, intentionally turns the relationship of the classroom and homework upside down. Students watch lectures at home, then work on problem sets in class, where the teacher can assist them one on one.
  • Dr. Widom said that having Stanford courses freely available could both assist and compete with other colleges and universities.

      we collected demographic information from every single student that was an online student that term. It was a survey that they hand to fill out to get access to their course. we had 100% response rates. so these are real numbers.

      Victoria! i am so glad that you are considering using bloggin in your course. Your reflections on the benefits and your insights on this aspect of the course and how it applys to you and might apply to your future students are astounding to me. Thank you for making your thinking visible to me. Als, your observation of the Social Presence afforded by Moodle with the simple little addition of an icon/avatar that represents the individual and its comparison to FB is brilliant. Well done!

  • My experience as a student was that I was focused on my routines from the other class and interpreting feedback to what I was thinking Alex meant and it wasn’t the same.  Then, we I began to trust Alex’s words and it became clear to me that she wanted to use to think deeper about the questions.
  • My question is how do we get our students motivated to think critically when, students just want to get the right answer?
  • In this process I learned a lot about myself as a learner and teacher.  I really need to promote more critical thinking activities and discussion.  It is very hard especially, with the children who I teach because they just want to get the right answer and have no motivation to further discuss any math concepts.
  •  I also need to think more critically as a person and a teacher.  In my school we put a lot of the blame on the parents because the parents don’t help students at home.  Meanwhile, many of these families can’t do it because they don’t know how the do the homework assignment, can’t read English, or are working.
  •  I know I have learned this because now I have a deeper appreciation in using technology as a learning tool.
  • What hindered my learning was time.  This course was a big adjustment in how much time I needed to set aside for this course.  I feel as though my school activities got in the way.  I really put too much on my plate this year as far as being involved in school activities.  This coming school year I am not going to do as much so I can focus more on taking the online courses.

      This is a lab activity that I can use in my course to introduce students to linear functions. At this time, I am contemplating whether to use it as an in-class activity or having it that the place of a video for a lecture and become a lesson that is discovery for students to use on their own.

      This is the concern for using it as an online lesson. This requires the use of Java and it could be an app that students do not have on their computer at home as I had complications with it at first.

      This is amazing! Not only can the students read about a villa in ancient Rome, they can take a virtual tour to really *see* what it looked like.
  • Many of the structures were designed by the Emperor Hadrian who ruled from 117 until his death in 138 C.E. This virtual rendering is based on current archeological research and has been created in consultation with art historians, archaeologists, and museum curators with expertise in this area.

Integrating Web 2.0 Tools into the Classroom: Changing the Culture of Learning | CCT - 0 views

classroom learning online teaching tools education web tools

shared by Hedy Lowenheim on 11 Aug 13 - No Cached
  • This report presents findings from a two-year investigation of the ways in which Web 2.0 tools and social networking technologies are being used to support teaching and learning in classrooms across the United States.
  • Currently, there is much discussion and excitement about Web 2.0 in education, but we still know very little about how these tools actually work in the classroom. Therefore, the goal of this research was simply to interview and observe educators and students who are experimenting with these tools in the classroom to see what uses are emerging and to explore the learning affordances of blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 tools.
  • between school/home, public/private or youth/adult culture, it presents an emerging challenge. Web 2.0 technologies are fundamentally reshaping and realigning many aspects of the communication loop: the people with whom teachers, students, and parents communicate; how they communicate; what they communicate about; and where and when they communicate. These ongoing processes bring to the fore exciting opportunities and novel challenges for educators. As schools use these technologies to build communities, the old boundaries between public and private, in school and out of school, and youth culture and adult culture are melting away and being redrawn.
