Teachers demand protocol for emails - smh.com.au - 0 views

  •  
    Found this interesting. It brings up the point of boundaries in eLearning. I can certainly respect a teacher's desire to not be connected to the classroom 24/7. A teacher should be able to set his/her own course policies. My course email policy allows for student emailing and the possibility for a response in the evening. If I am expecting learning to happen after hours (aka homework), I need to be as available as reasonably possible to the students. I wonder what the future might be in terms of eLearning and work hours of teachers. Could it be reasonable to give a teacher a few hours off in the middle of the day to in exchange be available to work with students in the evenings?

3 Ways To Use Vine In The Project-Based Learning Classroom - - 0 views

  • This deceptively simple application allows users to capture and share six-second video clips–rather than pure gif animations–through social media. This short window might sound like a detriment to some, but is actually what makes Vine such a powerful creative tool: Users must consider how they will capture, edit and share content in a way that conveys their intended messages

Why Do I Teach? - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • We should judge teaching not by the amount of knowledge it passes on, but by the enduring excitement it generates. Knowledge, when it comes, is a later arrival, flaring up, when the time is right, from the sparks good teachers have implanted in their students’ souls.
  • Beyond that—at least it is often said—we need critical thinking and creativity: the ability to detect tacit but questionable assumption and to develop new ways of understanding issues—in short, to think beyond what “everyone knows.”

Avenue4Learning - The Tool Isn't The Problem - 1 views

  • The tool isn’t the problem. WE are the problem. If we don’t know how to provide options for students and then get out of the way, we aren’t transforming their learning. In my opinion, children need to have access to MULTIPLE devices so that they can make decisions about what best suits them for a specific learning activity.
