Authentic Education - What Is an Essential Question? - 0 views
-
The big-idea questions signal that education is not just about learning “the answer” but about learning how to learn.
-
A second connotation for “essential” refers to key inquiries within a discipline. Essential questions in this sense are those that point to the big ideas of a subject and to the frontiers of technical knowledge. They are historically important and very much “alive” in the field.
-
By actively exploring such questions, the learner is helped to arrive at important understandings as well as greater coherence in their content knowledge and skill.

the 'modern malaise', which manifests itself primarily in a 'centring on the self, which both flattens and narrows our lives, makes them poorer in meaning, and less concerned with others or society' (The Ethics of Authenticity), and which can lead even further to a disorientating dislocation from those things that give our lives meaning and sense.

"Uncanny" may be a feeling that most of the parents of students in my online course may be feeling as they support their child in taking an online class.

Parents, teachers, and administrators need to be instructed on how to create meaningful learning activities using new technology such as the computer. Students are longing for this kind of authentic and meaningful learning. What is the purpose of school if students are not presented with critical thinking and problem solving activities that bring them to a higher level of thinking and learning?

The resource I would like to add for the MERLOT project is actually a resource that I submitted to MERLOT back in April. The resource is a blog/power point presentation that is designed to be a resource for parents. The information in this power point presentation comes from Victoria Carrington's article "The Uncanny: Digital Texts and Literacy". The power point presentation is designed in an easy to read story book format which tells of a modern day child named "TechTiger" who changes the perspective of his parents, teachers, and other in the older "uncanny" generation due to his media literacy and experiences with contemporary culture. I will incorporate this resource into my online course by adding it to my parent corner. Since my Life Cycle course is intended for a third grade audience, I have designed an area for parents so that they are aware of what their child is learning in this course as well as ways they could enrich their child outside of my course on topics they are learning. Some parents who have their child enrolled in my online course may be "uncanny" to media literacy and have some of the concerns that are addressed in the resource TechTiger's Space. The resource TechTiger's Space may put into perspective some parent's fears with technology as well as the added benefits to put their minds at ease and support their child's online learning experience.
A Constructivist Approach to Teaching - 1 views
-
Presenting instructional content online requires faculty to consider course objectives and the learning outcomes that are produced. How those outcomes are achieved and by how many students are important concerns of higher education institutions and their faculty members
-
Constructivism, on the other hand, is founded on the notion that “the only important reality is in the learner’s mind, and the goal of learning is to construct in the learner’s mind its own, unique conception of events”
-
learner is not a passive recipient but rather the center of instruction

I suppose one of the assumptions that I have about my own on-line course is that if a certain percentage of my students are of the Generation Y population, they may very well know more about the technology than I do.

Interaction and Immediacy in Online Learning | Woods | The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning - 0 views
-
Interaction alone, however, is insufficient to create a positive social dynamic in the online classroom.
-
Research demonstrates that the integration of verbal and non-verbal immediacy communication behaviors lets instructors move from mere interaction to authentic intimacy and interpersonal closeness.
-
an instructor’s understanding of interaction and immediacy dynamics will affect the nature and quality of communication in the online learning environment.

Rubrics - 1 views

A rubric is an authentic assessment tool used to measure students' work. It is a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate a student's performance based on the sum of a full range of criteria rather than a single numerical score.

It is a formative type of assessment because it becomes an ongoing part of the whole teaching and learning process.

What does "student-centered" mean to you and . . . - SLN Faculty Online - 0 views
-
I don't think of my job as student-centered, nor is it teacher- or self-centered, but rather, learnING-centered. There's a job to do that's shared by the whole class together.
-
The main thing is to focus the students on the practical value of what they're learning by situating the assignments in real-world tasks, where the purpose is to provide something valuable to real people.

In my early years teaching, I was confronted by a graduate student who asked a question which I was not sure of the answer or how to answer it. When asked by my director how I was doing I mentioned the incident to him. He indicated that I should not be doing any research on this but the student should seek out the answer to his question. Later in the class the same student asked a question; I wasn't sure of the answer and suggested to him that he research his question and make a presentation to the class on what he found. I told him where he could research his question, indicated a couple situations in the real world he could look at. The next week he presented and commented to the class that the assignment I gave him was very interesting and rewarding for him. I was gratified, regained my feeling of self-worth, and had a student and class that found the results appropo. This action was "student-centered".

Sites that are 'local' in the sense that they are made in one context and culture, but visited by other cultures Category 2 Sites that are 'international' or designed specifically for cross cultural participation. (See Figure 1.)
-
strive to reach a cross cultural population, and serve the needs of an international audience.
-
cultural variations in interpreting and communicating information are influenced by pedagogical and instructional design decisions, and the cultural dimensions of learning must be constantly problematised and not marginalised (Wild & Henderson, 1997).
