    Heteronyms (also known as heterophones or homographs) are words that are spelled the same, but have different pronunciations and different meanings.

    Creating content without promoting it to get backlinks is a waste of your time (when it comes to SEO). That's why I write so often about different promotional tactics for your content. I know that some regular readers of NeilPatel.com and Quick Sprout get great results putting those tactics into action.

    "Why are there so many living organisms on Earth, and so many different species?" This is an excellent example of how to present a sequence of curriculum on the net.

  • However, the true test came later when the researchers asked these students to apply the same principles in a totally different setting

      Another true test might be how well the teacher could apply the same principles in a totally different setting.
  • glen gatin on 25 Apr 08
     
    Could it be that part of the problem be that the teachers who attempt to teach with "real world" concrete examples have never had any real world concrete experience. 12 years of school followed by 4-5 years of undergrad, now you are a teacher, teach about the real world. hmmm

    balanced documentary and supportive material. Thanks to Bill Farren comment#218 "One of the biggest surprises in making this film was the discovery that the threat of online predators is misunderstood and overblown. The data shows that giving out personal information over the Internet makes absolutely no difference when it comes to a child's vulnerability to predation. " PBS site 'What We Learned write up'

Clark Aldrich's blog: Using assessments to evaluate action, not knowledge - 0 views

assessment

shared by paul reid on 27 Apr 08 - Cached
  • Now, in theory, doing a 360 assessment (asking the people around the student, both before the formal learning program and, oh, six months after, for evaluations of behavior) is a pretty good technique. But 360's are also intrusive.
  • The bad news is that, well, who cares if someone can intellectually differentiate between different leadership styles? That is so old school. Further, simpler programs may get the same result, even if the knowledge is never used, (and the knowledge gleaned from old school programs also decays much more quickly after the program ends).
  • Multiple-choice questionnaires are biased towards proving what one knows, as opposed to presenting what one does. But I believe with some hacking of the medium, we can create better evaluations to guide us towards more productive programs.
  • paul reid on 27 Apr 08
     
    We should evaluate actions, rather than 'knowledge' (where 'knowledge' here means 'remembered instances of data'). We should evaluate actions is that we are able to get at more finely-grained sub-symbolic mental development, and not simply a small set of memorized facts.

    Worth considering when thinking about assessment of authentic learning. We should evaluate actions, rather than 'knowledge' (where 'knowledge' here means 'remembered instances of data').

  • Albert-László Barabási states that “nodes always compete for connections because links represent survival in an interconnected world” (2002, p.106).

      My prediction is that the schools that initiate and establish contact with other schools for authentic inquiry based learning using connectivist tools will gain greater immunity from irrelavence. Relavence will become increasingly important to parents/students when choosing venues for learning to occur. A colleague once said to me that academic results at the private schools she chose for her kids were not as important as the lifelong connections they made with friends with influence. Optimistically I disagreed, but the power of connectivism whilst not immediately apparent is related at the contextual core to this element of Darwinist process.
  • Some questions to explore in relation to learning theories and the impact of technology and new sciences (chaos and networks) on learning: How are learning theories impacted when knowledge is no longer acquired in the linear manner? What adjustments need to made with learning theories when technology performs many of the cognitive operations previously performed by learners (information storage and retrieval). How can we continue to stay current in a rapidly evolving information ecology? How do learning theories address moments where performance is needed in the absence of complete understanding? What is the impact of networks and complexity theories on learning? What is the impact of chaos as a complex pattern recognition process on learning? With increased recognition of interconnections in differing fields of knowledge, how are systems and ecology theories perceived in light of learning tasks?
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences (Driscoll, 2000, p. 376).
