    "If you don't have a YouTube channel as an education provider, there's a good chance you're behind the times. Nearly every major educational institution in the world now hosts its own collection of videos featuring news, lectures, tutorials, and open courseware. Just as many individuals have their own channel, curating their expertise in a series of broadcasted lessons."

  • Regarding classwork, text-speak was considered moderately appropriate for use in lecture notes, but strictly off limits for assignments or exams.

    "the current study provides real-world evidence to address past media concerns that textism use is somehow damaging English literacy." At least among university students, they found, it's just not happening. So NTW (not to worry).

  • “Ultimately, flipping a classroom involves shifting the energy away from the instructor and toward the students and then leveraging educational tools to enhance the learning environment.”
  • This allows students to spend time problem solving, creating, critiquing, and synthesizing in class with their peers and with their instructor. Students are more active in flipped environments which add a new level of complexity to the classroom.
  • Instructors focus on higher level learning outcomes during class time and lower level outcomes outside of class

  • focus on involving students in the process of learning during class.
  • The true essence of the flip is really to focus on the student.
  • Flipped classrooms are interactive— sometimes even ‘messy’—because students are working together and solving problems rather than sitting passively listening to a lecture
  • are also risky. Instructors relinquish a degree of control when the energy in the classroom shifts to the students
  • “What do the students need to DO to achieve the learning outcome?”

    An excellent synthesis of flipped learning... no smoke and mirrors.

    This recent talk by Gary Stager is well worth your 20 minutes to chew on. He pushes and challenges the notion of school and learning... as should we all.

  • It’s multitasking while learning that has the biggest potential downside
  • 80 percent of college students admit to texting during class; 15 percent say they send 11 or more texts in a single class period.
  • Texting, emailing, and posting on Facebook and other social media sites are by far the most common digital activities students undertake while learnin
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • “Young people have a wildly inflated idea of how many things they can attend to at once
  • “Under most conditions, the brain simply cannot do two complex tasks at the same time. It can happen only when the two tasks are both very simple and when they don’t compete with each other for the same mental resources.
  • They may like to do it, they may even be addicted to it, but there’s no getting around the fact that it’s far better to focus on one task from start to finish.”
  • the assignment takes longer to complete
  • The moment of encoding is what matters most for retention
  • memory of what they’re working on will be impaired if their attention is divided
  • This ability to resist the lure of technology can be consciously cultivated,
  • “even if distraction does not decrease the overall level of learning, it can result in the acquisition of knowledge that can be applied less flexibly in new situations.”
  • leads to more mistakes
  • texting and using Facebook—in class and while doing homework—were negatively correlated with college students’ GPAs.
  • “There’s a definite possibility that we are raising a generation that is learning more shallowly than young people in the past,” he says. “The depth of their processing of information is considerably less, because of all the distractions available to them as they learn.”
  • academic and even professional achievement may depend on the ability to ignore digital temptations while learning
  • kids who were better able to delay gratification not only achieved higher grades and test scores but were also more likely to succeed in school and their careers.
  • hose who were interrupted more often scored worse on a test of the lecture’s content; more interestingly, those who responded to the experimenters’ texts right away scored significantly worse than those participants who waited to reply until the lecture was over.
  • students who used Facebook during the 15-minute observation period had lower grade-point averages than those who didn’t go on the site
  • “Young people’s technology use is really about quelling anxiety,” he contends. “They don’t want to miss out.
  • Device-checking is a compulsive behavior that must be managed, he says, if young people are to learn and perform at their best.
  • ‘This is a time when you will concentrate on just one thing.’ ”
  • Just make sure when they’re doing schoolwork, the cellphones are silent, the video screens are dark, and that every last window is closed but one.

    Great piece on the deleterious effects of multitasking on learning and the importance of teaching mindfulness and attention literacy in a highly digital and connected landscape.
