Framing and Learning - 0 views

  •  
    A direction that many schools need to consider is adding more challenge based learning opportunities. The CBL framework is constructivist, the experience is authentic, and the outcome is relevant because it makes a difference in the students' school, community, or world.

11. Social Media : Imagination: Creating the Future of Education & Work - 0 views

  • For example, the educators community in Iowa uses #IowaCore for their discussions related to that subject. The group might have a real-time discussion, say, from 5-7 pm on a Tuesday afternoon, with participants hash-tagging their contributions so the thread appears in one column for people who follow that particular hashtag. Since a single brief tweet can contain a link to a richly textured site, essay, wiki or other content that lends far more depth to a subject, statement or inquiry, the limiting factor of 140 characters can become an asset, streamlining the dialogue in this format to essentials.

Changing Iowa: Those Darn Eagles - 5 views

  •  
    This post by Evan Abbey seemed too good not to share.

    This article made me smile, as our district has sent out this very type of communication on more than one occasion. I enjoyed Evan's daughter's point about our fascination with stalking the eagles for hours. Small clips of a couple minutes each should suffice. I have noticed that this has been a difficult lesson for some in our district to learn. We will likely have individuals asking their entire class to watch streaming videos of something in the near future as well.
