DO ONLINE STUDENTS DREAM OF ELECTRIC TEACHERS? - 0 views
-
However, few would deny that there is a strong probability that the distancing effect of computer-mediated asynchronous learning will cause many instructors and students to view one another more like extensions of the machines through which they are communicating than as real persons with emotions, aspirations, problems, time constraints and (in the case of most faculty) the very real need for sleep. As overworked online instructors turn to labor-saving shortcuts, such as computer software that can actually grade papers, and are compelled by the financial exigencies of higher education to increase their class sizes to unmanageable proportions, the problem of distancing is becoming increasingly serious [1].
Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning - 0 views
-
In the most general sense, it usually means encouraging students to use active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving) to create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about what they are doing and how their understanding is changing. The teacher makes sure she understands the students' preexisting conceptions, and guides the activity to address them and then build on them.
-
Constructivism is basically a theory -- based on observation and scientific study -- about how people learn. It says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences.
-
Constructivism modifies that role, so that teachers help students to construct knowledge rather than to reproduce a series of facts. The constructivist teacher provides tools such as problem-solving and inquiry-based learning activities with which students formulate and test their ideas, draw conclusions and inferences, and pool and convey their knowledge in a collaborative learning environment. Constructivism transforms the student from a passive recipient of information to an active participant in the learning process. Always guided by the teacher, students construct their knowledge actively rather than just mechanically ingesting knowledge from the teacher or the textbook.

Thoughts About Teaching Spanish Online - 0 views
-
In an online environment it is fundamental. Discussions generate questions, and questions promote critical thinking. I now firmly believe, and understand, that in order to promote a higher level of language usage, I need to help my students learn how to think critically through questioning. This is best accomplished through a dialogue format, where all students are expected to contribute in a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
-
I am wondering if there is a way to copy a module set-up, and then simply customize the web pages within each module.
-
Suddenly, the student is propelled to think clearly and critically, as now their core ideas have the potential to be shared with anyone, anywhere.

Jim's viewable streams of thought - 2 views

What I’m really coming to grips with is how much the students might not be actually understanding when I communicate orally. How much of this information is not remembered?
-
It’s not about being the “sage” but about being in a room full of people and interacting on issues I love.
-
I LOVE how you put this Jim!! For me my room is here with you and the others in our class, and i feel the exact same way. My fondest wish for all of you is that you get to experience your love of teaching- - that same feeling of love and satisfaction you get f2f -- in an online teaching and learning environment too.

jim: breathe.... i am so sorry. i know how very frustrating this can be.... just a week ago i lost one of my blog posts ... i was crushed and frantic after spending a whole day writing the post... if you follow me on twitter you may have seen my frantic panic expressed in my appeals for help to the the twitterverse for assistance/suggestions on how to recover the post ... i just spent so much time on it....and i have no idea how i deleted it. I am not sure if this will help, but unbelievable after doing all kinds of things to try to recover my post, i actually found it by hitting the back button on my browser. I am on a mac and using firefox, so i don't know if it would work in other browsers or on a PC. there may also be other factors. I never shut down my computer and i use millions of tabs. I think my copy was still in the cache of the computer on the tab that i had used to create the post... anyway. i hope you are ok now. and i look forward to this post. me

Teaching and Learning Guide for: On the Relationship between Social Capital and Individualism-Collectivism - 0 views

Teaching and Learning Guide for: On the Relationship between Social Capital and Individualism-Collectivism. Both social capital and individualism-collectivism (IC) have been, and still are, popular and well-researched constructs in social sciences. Many theorists have argued that individualism poses a threat to social cohesion and communal association. Other researchers believe that growth of individuality, autonomy and self-sufficiency are necessary conditions for the development of social solidarity and cooperation. Recent research suggests that countries with higher level of social capital (where people believe that most people can be trusted) are also more individualistic, emphasizing the importance of independence, personal accomplishments and freedom to choose one's own goals. In societies where trust is limited to the nuclear family or kinship alone, people have lower levels of social capital. Social capital increases as the radius of trust widens to encompass a larger number of people and social networks, bridging the 'gap' between the family and state.
creating an online course development process - 0 views

Tacoma Community College has created an online course development process. The process is designed to support faculty by providing a clear timeline for course development, a discussion of what kind of training faculty will need to develop and teach online courses, the kind of support faculty will need, and online course development rubrics for quality assurance and peer review.
