Gaggle.Net - CIPA Compliance for Google Apps - 0 views

  • Google Apps for education provides an excellent set of communication tools for students and educators. However, the email account feature of Google Apps does not offer a method to meet the requirements of the Children's Internet Protection Act. As a solution, Gaggle accounts can be integrated with Google Apps. The same great monitoring and filtering capabilities found in Gaggle can be applied to your Gmail accounts.

Museum 2.0: Educational Uses of Back Channels for Conferences, Museums, and Informal Le... - 0 views

  • The back channel isn’t just a social space. I noted three distinct, valuable uses of back channels at WebWise:To communicate socially in an environment that does not permit open dialogue. This is the "note passing" or flirting use case.To share your onsite experience with a network of people who are not co-located with you. Where the first use case serves co-located people, this use case focuses on broadcasting the highlights of your experience to friends elsewhere.To investigate a content experience more deeply using a different set of tools than those used to convey the content. For example, you may listen to a speaker and check out related links from his work as he talks.

Langwitches » Take the Technology out of the Equation - 0 views

  • Maybe we need to find common ground among the teachers and administrators at our schools. Take the word “technology” out of the discussion. That word seems to mean too many different things to too many different people (even scare). Maybe we need to be talking about something no one can deny as a priority in our schools: STUDENT LEARNING. Maybe we if we talk on that common ground,  there will be less resistance, more collaboration and communication on how to achieve that.

Teacher Magazine: Making Professional Learning Teams Work - 0 views

  • “We learned the lesson long ago that merely assigning teachers to teams does not mean that educator and student performance improves,”
  • “Educators committed to learning teams will benefit most from protocols that prioritize identifying and addressing learning goals for educators based on an assessment of student needs as part of the team cycle of improvement.”

Digital Education: Malcolm Gladwell: Lessons from Fleetwood Mac - 0 views

  • The first is that effort is more important than talent
  • In fact, almost every successful individual or organization puts in at least 10,000 hours of practice first, which averages out to about four hours a day for ten years, he estimates.
  • The second lesson educators could learn from Fleetwood Mac's success is the importance of a compensation strategy, rather than a capitalization strategy. In other words, instead of building on successes, the band became better and more successful because they put their energy into compensating for their weaknesses, he said.

  • And the last lesson educators can learn from Fleetwood Mac? The path to genius is often riddled with experiments involving many different methods and strategies over a long period of time, said Gladwell. Learning does not happen in one big burst of genius, he said. "Sometimes the struggle to learn something is where the actual learning lies."

Overdrive Online Marketing Blog: Is Generation Y Experiencing a Technology Burnout? - 1 views

  • The baby boomer results don't surprise me. What does jump out at me is how the most technologically savvy generation we have seen to date is slowing their adoption. Could they be suffering from social fatigue or do they have enough technology in their lives already? Perhaps they are returning toward more face-to-face venues, which anecdotally, I have heard. It will be interesting to see how this progresses next year.

Univariate GLM: Statnotes, from North Carolina State University, Public Administration ... - 0 views

  • Likewise, the F test of overall model significance shown for the "Corrected Model" row of the GLM Univariate table is the same as that in the Regression ANOVA table.
  • Full Factorial ANOVA: Factorial ANOVA is for more than one factor (more than one independent -- hence for two-way ANOVA or higher), used to assess the relative importance of various combinations of independents. In a full factorial design, the model includes all main effects and all interactions among the factors but does not include interactions between the factors and the covariates. As such factorial anova is not a true separate form of ANOVA design but rather a way of combining designs. A design matrix table shows the intersection of the categories of the independent variables. A corresponding ANOVA table is constructed in which the columns are the various covariate (in ANCOVA), main, and interaction effects. See the discussion of two-way ANOVA below. Example.
  • Balanced designs are simply factorial designs where there are equal numbers of cases in each subgroup (cell) of the design, assuring that the factors are independent of one another (but not necessarily the covariates). Unbalanced designs have unequal n's in the cells formed by the intersection of the factors.

Red Tape - That famous space shuttle photo: When is sharing stealing? - 3 views

  • The law, however, is not. The mere act of taking a photograph means the photographer holds the copyright for that picture. Sharing it on a social media site does nothing to limit or reduce that fundamental right,

Stagnant Future, Stagnant Tests: Pointed Response to NY Times "Grading the Digital Scho... - 3 views

  • they are understanding a complex text and making sense of it within the context of their own lives.   No parent wants more, no teacher does, than for kids to be able to not just "read" Shakespeare but to understand why his work still speaks urgently to the present, why it is worth taking the time to read all that odd English from another time
  • We are not responsible as educators unless we are teaching not just with technology but through it, about it, because of it.   We need to make kids understand its power, its potential, its dangers, its use.  That isn't just an investment worth making but one that it would be irresponsible to avoid.

Does Your School Teach Computer Science? Should It? - Edudemic - 3 views

  •  
    "More courses in STEM subjects, teaching more students how to code, and getting more girls and women into traditionally male professions (ie, the STEM subjects) are all big topics these days. The main issue that all of these things address is that as our world develops technologically and becomes more tech dependent, we will need more students trained in disciplines that can support that, and currently, there is a huge skills gap. The handy infographic below takes a look at how to unlock the code to student success, and addresses computer science specifically, and how few schools teach computer science courses at all."

What does John Hattie think about education? | David Didau: The Learning Spy - 0 views

  •  
    "If you don't yet know, BBC Radio 4 have lined up a series of 8 interviews with the leading lights of the education world. In the second programme of the series, Sarah Montague interviews professor John Hattie on 'what works' in education. Here it is. Whatever your opinion of effect sizes and meta-analyses, Visible Learning has changed the way many of us think about teaching and Hattie has become one of the most respected and widely known academics in the field of education. For those too busy or too uninterested to invest 25 minutes of their lives actually listening to the broadcast, I'll summarise it below:"
