Study Hacks » Blog Archive » Adventure Studying: An Unconventional New Approa... - 0 views

  • Conventional wisdom says: studying happens on campus, or, if you’re feeling particularly crazy, maybe in a Starbucks near campus. And that’s it. It is supposed to be a grind that takes place in in the same old boring libraries surrounded by the same old boring people.

  • Just because it’s “tradition” to spend the week before exams holed up in the library in some macho display of academic self-flagellation, this doesn’t mean that you have to follow this path.

Social Aspects of Collaborative Learning in Virtual Learning Environments - 0 views

  • Collaborative work and also learning is integrated in the daily working process but collaborative e-learning is a concept of which only few have heard off. However, collaborative work is one of the main strengths of the networked economy. Working with people, one has never met, forming dynamical teams over continents in order to solve problems, are common in many globalised or networked companies as well as in multinational project teams. The challenge for collaborative e-learning platforms is to design solutions for distributed networked learning and working teams by providing on the one hand solutions to share learning content and to interactively work on it. On the other hand the concept of collaborative learning also focuses on social aspects of learning which are less implemented in current systems. Not only theoretical models and research work but also the increasing importance of virtual learning communities show that future applications should and will take into account these collaborative and social aspects and enable especially small groups to learn and work together efficiently via computer networks.

New models for learning flexibility: Negotiated choices for both academics and students - 0 views

      Eisner, one of my favorite authors.
  • Eisner (2003) claims that it is appropriate to take into account a learner’s frame of reference.
  • While, the educational value of using a social constructivist approach is supported in educational literature (Jonassen, 1998; Garrison & Anderson, 2003), individual constructivism and self-directed learning (Merriam & Cafarella, 1999) are also valid educational strategies
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The flexible model proposed in this paper would allow informed choice by both students and academics, thereby resolving equity considerations and providing choices for academics, learners and learning
  • Professor Richard Johnson describes open learning as ‘an approach rather than a system or technique; it is based on the needs of individual learners, not the interests of the teacher or the institution; it gives students as much control as possible over what and when and where and how they learn; it commonly uses the delivery methods of distance education and the facilities of educational technology; it changes the role of teacher from a source of knowledge to a manager of learning and a facilitator.

  • What Makes a Short Story
    • Donna Angley
       
      I like this "introduction" to what makes a short story. I did something very similar in my course, so I feel like I'm on the right track.
    • alexandra m. pickett
       
      how will you use this resource in your own online course donna?
    • Donna Angley
       
      I hadn't thought about a group project for my course; however, after reading about these students writing and publishing a short story, it got me thinking. I was originally going to have my students do a final paper comparing two stories. Then I decided I wanted to do something different and a bit more collaborative. After seeing this website, I started to think about a group project more seriously. Then I thought I'd like it to be a little more hand-on like this course, and so it has morphed into a final group project where they can decided to either write a short story or create a multi-media presentation of a short story we've read. This website got me thinking about the project from the students' perspective. Giving them the choice to write or use multi-media is a better idea and will get the creative juices flowing. It also puts them more in control of what they want to do creatively.

      brilliant!!! student perspective- student choice - control, creativity, innovation in student hands : ) !!!!
  • Silko, Leslie Marmon.

      I am glad to see an American Indian writer included in the syllabus. I also included a story by Leslie Marmon Silko called "Lullaby."

    • Donna Angley
       
      I too included this story in my course. For those of you that might not know, Alice Walker is the author of "The Color Purple."
  • A Good Man is Hard To Find."
    • Donna Angley
       
      Again, I also included this particular story in my course. Flannery O'Connor has written many short stories, but this one is probably a "classic" within the genre.
  • Usage of Point of View
    • Donna Angley
       
      Point of view is the first thing a writer has to think about when preparing to write. Depending on the point of view, what is written and how it is written will be very different.
  • The Yellow Wallpaper."
    • Donna Angley
       
      This is an exaggerated account of the actual post pardom depression that the author suffered from after the birth of her daughter. Again, a classic short story that I have included in my course also under "point of view."
  • To Build a Fire Faulkner
    • Donna Angley
       
      I love that they too included this story. As you read it, you can't help but wonder how Jack London manages to keep describing his surroundings, which really don't change. He's a master.
  • Workshop
    • Donna Angley
       
      I like that there is a workshop component to this course, where it appears that students will go through the process of writing a short story. It also looks as if they might publish as well, or at least go through the process of publishing so that students can attempt to publish in the future.
  • Discussion of Getting Published in the Real World
    • Donna Angley
       
      Excellent resource for those students who are seriously looking at writing for a living.
  •  
    This class will focus on the craft of the short story, which we will explore through reading great short stories, writers speaking about writing, writing exercises and conducting workshops on original stories.

Of Plato and iPads: Should We Use Technology in the Classroom? | The American Conservative - 0 views

  • hamper classroom relationships
    • Teresa Dobler
       
      When used correctly, we have clearly seen that student interaction is possible, and even enhanced, using technology in the classroom.
  • students can easily disengage, looking at other apps (some for school and others surely for entertainment), perusing websites, and checking email
    • Teresa Dobler
       
      I do share the concern that my students will be off task during my lessons - however, can't they also be disengaged while taking notes in a paper notebook? I also, thankfully, have small enough class sizes that I can stand behind the room and see most computers, so it is easy to spot obviously off track students (ie someone in their email rather than a document).
  • The focus in a technological classroom changes from student-to-student and/or student-to-teacher to a student-computer relationship, with the teacher occasionally breaking into this primary bond.
    • Teresa Dobler
       
      When used correctly, I would disagree. My students are still interacting with each other. They are often working on the same shared document to create a product, or are talking in a small group and documenting the work in a document. More recently, I have also had students working in groups to produce songs, movies, and other multimedia products to show what they have learned. Thus, I can see in my own classroom that students are still able to interact richly with each other.

  • Rather than creating solitary learners, such a method could encourage group learning.

One Intelligence or Many? - 0 views

  •  
    The different proponents of one general intelligence all agree that there is a single factor that determines intelligence, and the proponents of multiple intelligences agree that there is more than one single type of intelligence. However, the different proponents of multiple intelligences do not agree on how many different intelligences there are, or could be
