Thomson Suing Zotero - 0 views

  •  
    I own a licensed copy of Endnote. I had a few years of references built up in Endnote but I was having problems with updates and loosing reference files and the application locking up. Support was terrible. Endnote was clunky bloatware but I used it because it was the best available at the time and I had a lot of references stored. I spent hours just keeping the Endnote application in shape. I learned that I really needed to save my Endnote files on a regular basis other wise I had to do a lot of recreating, more hours of my labour. I saved the files in a non-proprietary format and consider it my stuff I was so pleased when I discovered Zotero. It worked. A couple of times when I had issues getting it set up I contacted the developers and they got right back to me so I have been a big fan ever since. I was able to open my saved reference files in Zotero and concentrate on using my references rather that maintaining an application. It will be interesting to see how this plays out but there are some very good arguments to suggest that this is a frivolous and predatory lawsuit. I hope GMU sticks to it. If TR wants to maintain it's customer base, make a better product.

    "We are trying to overcome the distance you feel in distance education by being socially connected," Snoddy said. "You develop socially as well as intellectually in college. This doesn' tmake sense. Do people not complete DE courses because they feel distant? More likely because most of the courses are complete crap and are offered by questionable faculty. It is more likely that the courses selected for special treatment in this article were a step above the usual crap that gets served up as DE and were presented with a little imagination and care.

Computers for Peace: The $100 Laptop | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction (instant messaging, MySpace, and so on) than learning, that they allow children access to inappropriate content, and that the benefits of constant access are so far unproven. Do you share those concerns? We do not share those concerns, but that is not to say they are not real issues. Our kids in Cambodia learn English using chat and MySpace. Children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting. One education minister just said to us, about the $100 laptop, "Finally, education will include learning."

    I like Negroponte's response to critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States which say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction. Basically, "children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting".

elearnspace. Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 0 views

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

Computer self-learning Experiment in india "Hole-in-the-Wall" - 0 views

  • In an amazIng experiment a Delhi-based IT professional has proved that kids can learn computer skills on their own. Over the years the results of Dr. Mitra’s experiments have been so spectacular that the National Geographic Channel has made a film on his unique research.
  • Again, to his surprise he discovered that the slum kids quickly taught themselves how to surf the internet, read news and download games and music. Dr. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations, with the same results---within hours the children would teach themselves how to use the Net.

Comparing Schools in Finland and in the United States - FLOSSE Posse - 0 views

  • In FInland the educational system, as it is today, was build slowly. It is still strongly relyIng on the work of Uno Cygnaeus ( 1810-1888 ) who was Influenced by the early European “constructivist” Pestalozzi ( 1746–1827 ) and Froebel ( 1782 –1852 ). The idea that children learn the best when they areactive and build thIngs was not really Invented by John Dewey or Piaget – they only were able to present the idea In a language of positivist science, when the earlier thInkers thought themselves as “pedagogues” or educational philosophers.
