Google Launches Redesigned Education Site | MindShift - 0 views

      I am wondering if anyone in ADE634 has any experience with Google Chromebooks?
  • The Teachers site leads to Google’s many apps that can be used for teaching specific subjects, as well as design and collaboration tools.
  • Google has revamped its site for educators, creating a redesigned repository for all its educational tools and resources for teachers, schools, and students.

  • Schools and districts can find links to YouTube for Schools, which allows students to access YouTube EDU while blocking non-educational videos;
  • Last week, Google announced that three school districts in Iowa, Illinois and South Carolina are using only Google Chromebooks, the Web browser-based laptop, and that hundreds of schools across the country are deploying them in classrooms — a total of 27,000 in the hands of students.

Media and Information Literacy - 0 views

      Powerful message and worth remembering
  • Empowerment of people through information and media literacy is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and knowledge, and building inclusive knowledge societies. Information and media literacy enables people to interpret and make informed judgments as users of information and media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right.
  • A particular focus will be on training teachers to sensitize them to the importance of information and media literacy in the education process, enable them to integrate information and media literacy into their teaching and provide them with appropriate pedagogical methods and curricula.

      I like Bill and Sheila for creating this great site for infolit!
  • These pages are produced by Sheila Webber, who teaches at Sheffield University, and Bill Johnston, who teaches at Strathclyde University (see who we are and what these pages are for, below). New on 3 September 2006. I am giving these pages an overhaul! The Definitions and models and Standards and position papers were updated today (3 Sept 2006), with new content added and links checked. I also did some content updating of the Resources and the Our views and publications pages, and corrected the links both for those and the Learning and Teaching Resources page. I removed a couple of the old sections (Events and People). The remaining sections were last updated in 2003, but I do intend to overhaul them too. For events, news, reports etc. I recommend looking on my Information Literacy weblog which normally has about 5 entries added a week. Standards & position statements Organisations & resources Definitions and models of IL Learning and teaching resources Research into information literacy IL in schools Conference papers on information literacy Our publications & presentations etc. Relationship between librarians and faculty Information literacy and society

      Nice to see there are entire projects dedicated to helping all people learn how to research and learn better.
  • Project Information Literacy is a national study about early adults and their information-seeking behaviors, competencies, and the challenges they face when conducting research in the digital age. Based in University of Washington's iSchool, the large-scale research project investigates how early adults on different college campuses conduct research for course work and how they conduct "everyday research" for use in their daily lives... more > What is PIL? >

  • We need to explicitly develop learning materials and activities that go beyond simple content delivery, or just teaching.

Digital Texts and the Future of Education: Why Books? (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • Mobility offers the ability to engage learners of all ages with anywhere, anytime access.
  • The presence of socially connected, multitasking students in the classroom urges educators to move away from an "information-dissemination" role toward a more interactive, collaborative process in which they guide learners in the skill of evaluating and assessing available information.
  • creating innovative and interactive learning activities that fully engage learners in experiences they perceive to be both interesting and relevant to their interests and future.
