Algunas Consideraciones Sobre el Origen del Ebook - 1 views

  •  
    En este amplio mundo del conocimiento me he encontrado el tema de la historia del ebook del libro que escribió Marie Lebert y traducido por Anna Álvarez, y me pareció interesante por esa razón quiero compartir en forma resumida algunos aspectos sobresalientes del mismo con todos mis lectores. El libro ha cambiado mucho desde 1971. El libro impreso tiene cinco siglos y medio de edad. El libro digital casi tiene 40. Nace con el Proyecto Gutenberg, creado en julio de 1971 por Michael Hart con el fin de distribuir gratuitamente las obras del dominio público por vía electrónica. Pero habrá que esperar hasta el advenimiento de la web y del primer navegador para que el Proyecto Gutenberg encuentre su velocidad de crucero. Señal de los tiempos que corren, en noviembre del año 2000, la British Library pone en línea la versión digital de la Biblia de Gutenberg, el primer libro impreso. Aquella Biblia - datada de 1454 o 1455 -, fue impresa por Gutenberg en 180 ejemplares en su taller de Maguncia, en Alemania.

Todos los museos en tu móvil - 1 views

  •  
    En esta "industrialización digital"que estamos viviendo hoy en día, los museos tienen mucho que decir (y aportar). Actualmente, por ejemplo en el Reino Unido, un 58% de la población posee un Smartphone y casi un 19% una tableta. Teniendo en cuenta estas cifras, muy similares a las de nuestro país, las instituciones culturales deberían plantearse adaptar sus webs y actividades a este tipo de dispositivos, sobre todo si sabemos que prácticamente ningún propietario de estos teléfonos sale de casa sin él.

Innovate My School - How to engage the YouTube generation by looking to Zoella - 1 views

  •  
    "Filmmaking is increasingly being used in the classroom by teachers who understand the wants, hopes and aspirations of their pupils. Recent BBC documentary The Rise of the Superstar Vloggers was an extremely interesting insight into what many people wrongly perceive to be a frivolous activity and an easy route to fame and fortune. Contrary to popular belief, becoming a superstar vlogger involves hours and hours of researching and writing content. When we consider how popular video is with children, it becomes clear that filmmaking is the secret weapon for accelerating progress in schools. By using filmmaking as an incentive to write, pupils are working to produce the kind of media that they love, while the teacher is easily able to coerce them to improve their writing and reading using video as a constant hook. One such school who took the plunge into filmmaking is Northway Primary School in Liverpool, nominated for the Educate Awards Innovative & Creative Literacy Award. Over the course of 11 weeks, the pupils planned, drafted, edited, performed and filmed their very own adventure film based on El Dorado, the search for the lost city of gold in Colombia made famous by Christopher Columbus himself."

Sistemas integrales para la automatización de bibliotecas basados en software... - 0 views

  •  
    La automatización hace muchos años dejó de ser una moda y se convirtió en una necesidad para las bibliotecas. La tecnología se transformó en una herramienta indispensable para el buen desempeño de los procesos y servicios, así como para el intercambio de información con otras bibliotecas. Entre los avances tecnológicos con un mayor impacto sobre las unidades de información se encuentra Internet, un medio de intercambio de información con potencialidades insospechadas, del que las bibliotecas pueden aprovecharse para difundir sus colecciones a diversas partes del mundo.

It's Time to End the Device Debate - Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    "Tim, a Director of Instructional Technology from El Paso, Texas, gives a strong account of how iPad can be used as a tool for creation. He clearly details some of the concrete ways that the often-defended tablet can be used to produce videos, music, drawings, and works of art that move well beyond consumption. Kim, on the other hand, offers a unique perspective as an educator who has recently transitioned from supporting an iPad environment to using a Chromebook as his primary device. In his post, 3 Reasons Why Chromebook Beats iPad in 1:1 Programs, Kim gives the following three reasons for the superiority of the Chromebook: Chromebooks are for creating, and iPads are for consuming The App vs the Web The Google Ecosystem for Collaboration The most viable of these three reasons from Kim is the final one, the collaborative tools that are inherent in the Google ecosystem can be accessed seamlessly on a Chromebook. While iOS device access to Google tools continues to become less and less of an issue, schools that want to focus primarily on Google tools should look no further than Chromebooks. However, I would like to challenge Kim's first two points. As he notes in his discussion around his first point, the consumption versus creation debate with iPads and Chromebooks has been made countless times by those on both sides of this discussion."

The Beginners Guide to Fiber Optics - 1 views

  •  
    "Fiber optics! Fiber optics! Admittedly, I'm a little obsessed with fiber optics, and for good reason. They are a durable, versatile, and relatively simple way to add beautiful lighting effects to anything you're making. Just look at some of the gorgeous projects you can create with them! There was a time when I mostly used el wire in my illuminated designs, but ever since the amazing Natalina and Technorainbows introduced me to the wonders of fiber optics in their various forms, I've been on a bit of a fiber optic bender. So come fall down this rabbit hole with me, and turn yourself into a mesmerizing bioluminescent sea creature... you know you want to."

Logo Foundation Publications | Logo Update - 0 views

  •  
    "In September, 1982, Tom Lough started The National Logo Exchange with Steve Tipps and Glen Bull as a monthly newsletter for Logo teachers and parents. In January, 1986 The International Logo Exchange was launched with Dennis Harper as the editor-in-chief. In September, 1986 these two publications were combined and renamed Logo Exchange . The International Council for Computers in Education (ICCE) acquired the publication in 1987, designating it as the official journal of the ICCE Special Interest Group for Logo-Using Educators (SIG-Logo). In 1989 ICCE was renamed the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Logo Exchange continued as the ISTE journal for SIG-Logo until the fall of 1999, when the SIG was dissolved. The collected issues of Logo Exchange provide a window on Logo developments and Logo teaching over a span of 17 years. We are making these historic documents available here on the Logo Foundation Web site. All 18 volumes of The National Logo Exchange are posted here along with the four issues of The International Logo Exchange. We also include Last Logo Exchange, a collection of essays written by the former editors of Logo Exchange 15 years after it ceased publication. Click on an issue below to see a PDF scan of the original publication. These documents may be downloaded, reproduced, and copied for personal and educational uses provided that you do not charge for copies, and that you include the original copyright notices on them."

Makers in the Classroom: A How To Guide | EdSurge News - 5 views

  • At Lighthouse Charter School, we use three Making-inspired models: open-ended student-driven projects, integration into curriculum, and Making-focused curriculum. While a single project may involve more than one of these models, you can use these categories to start thinking about Making in your own classroom, school, or educational program.
  • Open-ended student-driven projects ask students to do most of the heavy lifting. The open-ended projects have a strong focus initially on the heart, and a student’s interests--”What are you passionate about? What gets you excited? What would just be cool?” But to create a final project, the mind and hands must get involved as well.
  • Integrating Making into curriculum happens when Making is tied to core academic curriculum or standards, in order to enhance student understanding. For example, when students build circuits using open-ended materials to introduce to concepts about electricity, design bridges to withstand an earthquake as part of a geology study, and deepen their understanding of geometry by programming shapes in LOGO (a computer language developed as a tool for learning), they engage their hands to solidify and deepen the concepts that they are already learning in the classroom.

  • In Making-focused curriculum, the goal is to focus on the Making process and skills, shifting from a focus on academic content/standards to a focus on the Making itself. A kindergarten study of sewing, a robotics elective, or a few class sessions on programming with Scratch fit this model. An important consideration is whether to concentrate on process (such as ideation and prototyping), skills (such as soldering, programming, and sewing), or both, and then tailor instruction to fit those goals. When I design Making classes that focus on process, I have my students write reflections and engage in whole-class discussions to help students think about how they worked through obstacles throughout the project process.

    "You see it everywhere in K-12. Kindergarteners design toys for their friends to practice empathy, while learning to use a saw and glue-gun along the way. Second graders deepen their understanding of character traits while designing and sewing puppets to represent a character in a folk-tale. In high school physics, students make wind turbines in order to internalize an understanding of how magnetism can create electricity. The "it" I'm referring to is "Making," and simply put, Making is any activity where people create something, often with their hands. I often define Making by looking at what people bring to the Maker Faire, which does include more technical aspects like 3D printing, physical computing and programming. But Making also includes woodworking, growing food, making art and crafts."
