Review: Teaching with Technology: Creating Student Centered Classrooms - 0 views
-
a 10-year research study of the Apple Classroom of Tomorrow (ACOT) school sites. The centerpiece of the study is the five-phase model of instructional evolution in technology-rich classrooms: entry, adoption, adaptation, appropriation, and invention. The model describes a shift in instructional style, from traditional to constructivist, that the authors believe takes place as teachers become expert technology users leading to new levels of confidence and willingness to experiment with instruction.

School and Society (1900), The Child and the Curriculum (1902), Democracy and Education (1916) and Experience and Education (1938). Throughout these writings, several recurrent themes ring true; Dewey continually argues that education and learning are social and interactive processes, and thus the school itself is a social institution through which social reform can and should take place.

Making Assessment Personally Relevant | blog of proximal development - 0 views

I want my students to realize that learning is not about making your work conform to some standard imposed by the teacher. Learning is about creating your own standards and adjusting them based on your goals. Learning is about setting your own goals and monitoring your own progress. It is about having conversations with yourself and others.
-
needed to help them visualize their progress, their level of engagement, and their sense of ownership and not simply ask them to rate their own work using the traditional percentage or letter scale. Most importantly, I wanted them to see that an entry that contains lots of facts and links to many valuable resources is not necessarily as valuable as one that shows personal engagement with ideas, one where the readers can hear a unique, personal voice.

She's Gotta Have It: Cell Phone - 0 views
-
"Next time a teenager says, 'Mom if I don't have a phone,' or 'Dad, if I don't have a phone, I'm going to be a nobody,' they are being serious," said Robbie Blinkoff, Context's principal anthropologist. Blinkoff and his colleagues studied the behavior of 144 cell-phone users between the ages of 16 and 40 from several countries and found that teenagers were so immersed in the technology that they often saw little difference between meeting face to face and talking on the phone. A common scene they observed was a group of teenagers sitting together -- all with ears glued to cell phones -- talking with faraway friends rather than to each other.
-
While saying he didn't think the cell-phone-toting teens were intentionally acting rude, he said he suspects that a new kind of "digital divide" has been created, similar to the gap among PC haves and have-nots.

What Makes a Short Story
-
-
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.
-
how will you use this resource in your own online course donna?
-
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 : ) !!!!
