Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum - Gu... - 0 views

    "Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum 7/16/2015 0 Comments Close reading of informational texts and non-fiction articles is not - and should not be - reserved for language arts classes. Every content area would be immensely enhanced if science teachers, social studies teachers, physical education teachers, welding teachers, woodworking teachers (in other words, "all technical subjects," as Common Core states) would not push aside the textbook, but instead embrace it, along with content area and trade articles. Students would then simultaneously learn how to dissect the readings while gaining knowledge in these content areas. What often happens is that teachers feel that students can't handle the text books or can't read the articles independently - and often that is true. However, when teachers instead go into a survival mode, of sorts, and read aloud the whole chapter or article or summarize it with a slideshow, it ends up doing a disservice to students - students are not learning HOW to read these complex texts. They are not learning how to acquire the information on their own. They are not being given the skills to read the sometimes intricate information within a particular content area or even within their possible future trade. They are not being given the opportunity to read, understand, articulate, and discuss or even debate topics within their area of study. Teachers sometimes feel that they can't do these things with students because they are not language arts teachers, or because they don't have time, or simply because they don't know how. Alternatively, a simple solution is to let go of the control and let students do…..with the guidance called close reading. Close reading is a guided reading approach. It is guided because 1) the close reading strategy is reserved for complex texts that are often too high for students to be left with independently and 2) students don't use close reading strateg

Teacher Strikes and Private Education in Argentina - #paper - - 0 views

  •  
    "This article analyzes teacher strikes in Argentina during 2006-2012. It stands out how teacher strikes prevail over claims from other unions, and are shown to be relevant events for education policy just for some provinces and only for public schools. We found that none of the policy measures implemented over the last decade has proven to be effective in reducing conflict. Analyzing a dataset on labour unrest, this study builds an index of teacher labour conflict to better understand the evolution of teacher strikes over time and under the various provincial governments that integrate the Argentinian federal education system. The article shows no correlation between teacher labour unrest and the growth of private enrolment. However, we note that despite the lack of statistical correlation, teacher strikes should not be ruled out as an explanatory variable of the increase in private education in Argentina."

10 datos interesantes que profesores y alumnos desconocen sobre Wikipedia | TotemGuard ... - 8 views

  • En aquellos casos en que sea apropiado realizar citas o referencias de artículos de la Wikipedia, es recomendable generar una referencia a través de esta herramienta especial Citar artículo. Si introduces, por ejemplo, Francisco de Goya en el buscador, Wikipedia te genera  de forma automática una página con los diferentes formatos más aceptados: ISO, APA, MLA, MHRA, CMS, Bluebook, etc.
  • ambién puedes encontrar esta página dentro del artículo que deseas nombrar, pulsando a la izquierda en el menú de navegación, la opción de “Herramientas” y después pulsando de nuevo en el enlace “Citar artículo”.
  • La Wikipedia es especialmente útil cuando estás leyendo un libro de texto y aparece el nombre de un pintor, de una ciudad o de una batalla con la que no estás familiarizado. En pocas líneas puedes tener una visión general del personaje, del lugar o del evento para comprender mejor la lectura. Por tanto, la Wikipedia es ideal como punto de partida en un trabajo escolar o en un proyecto de investigación, pero nunca debe ser la base de un estudio y escrito académico. De hecho la Wikipedia o cualquier otra enciclopedia no debe incluirse como referencia en una bibliografía o citarse dentro de un escrito. Una enciclopedia debe ser consultada para obtener información general.  Tras esta primera lectura, se puede comprobar la calidad de las fuentes que incluye y seguir investigando en libros y revistas académicas de reputación.

Tip Jars: The 5 Best WordPress Donation Plugins That Work | Elegant Themes Blog - 1 views

    "Give https://wordpress.org/plugins/give/ Seamless Donations https://wordpress.org/plugins/seamless-donations/ Smart Donations https://wordpress.org/plugins/smart-donations/ Total Donations http://codecanyon.net/item/total-donations-for-wordpress/9985487 PayPal Donations https://wordpress.org/plugins/paypal-donations/ Not every WordPress site has products to sell. Although many can turn their blogs into a revenue stream by offering goods and services somewhere in the mix, there are various reasons you might not be in a position to do so. For example, you may not be running a commercial business. You could be managing a non-profit organization or have no current goods or services to monetize. Many designers, writers, and voluntary groups find themselves in this situation and need to explore alternative sources of income. Donations are one of the most common ways to do just that, and they can sometimes even be more effective than ads or sponsored posts. If your readers are ready to put their hands in their pockets, you just need to provide the means. In this article, we've gathered together five of the best WordPress donation plugins to help you make that process simple. Why Use a Tip Jar? At first you might have some reservations about placing a donation button on your website. Some might feel it's in poor taste - as if you're begging your readers for help. Others doubt that it'll work, thinking readers will automatically ignore it. But the truth is that a tip jar is a great way to garner support for your WordPress site. It can provide supplemental income if you're a freelance designer or developer, and the amount brought in over the course of a month or year can offset hosting costs for your website. Furthermore, with the growing use of ad blockers, donations can be more effective than traditional online revenue streams. For startups and non-profit groups, donations are a vital means of funding campaigns. Other sites may choose to use tip jar

Juegos digitales y gamificación aplicados en el ámbito de la educación - 1 views

  •  
    "Los juegos digitales y las estrategias de gamificación mantienen la atención de los jugadores, les exigen que resuelvan problemas, adquieran nuevos conocimientos y aprendan nuevas habilidades. A pesar de la considerable inversión emocional, incluida la frustración, los jugadores persisten y los educadores se han dado cuenta de que también pueden aprender del éxito de los juegos y utilizar los principios del juego para "gamificar" las actividades de aprendizaje. No es de extrañar entonces que la idea de incorporar juegos digitales o gamificación en el aula se haya apoderado de profesores e investigadores durante los últimos años. Este monográfico muestra cómo se usan los juegos digitales y la gamificación en la educación, al tiempo que señala algunas preocupaciones relacionadas."

Educated Hope in Dark Times: The Challenge of the Educator-Artist as a Public Intellectual - 0 views

  •  
    "... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

    "This book YOUNG & CREATIVE - Digital Technologies Empowering Children in Everyday Life aims to catch different examples where children and youth have been active and creative by their own initiative, driven by intrinsic motivation, personal interests and peer relations. We want to show the opportunities of digital technologies for creative processes of children and young people. The access to digital technology and its growing convergence has allowed young people to experiment active roles as cultural producers. Participation becomes a keyword when "consumers take media into their own hands". Digital technologies offer the potential of different forms of participatory media culture, and finally creative practices. YOUNG and CREATIVE is a mix of research articles, interviews and case studies. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and researchers working in the field of education, communication, children and youth studies, new literacy studies and media and information literacy."

Trabajar dos horas diarias para salvar el clima y la biodiversidad - 0 views

  •  
    "... Cantidad y calidad del trabajo ¿Hasta dónde sería necesario reducir el tiempo de trabajo para garantizar la estabilización del clima? Se puede responder esta cuestión a partir del presupuesto carbono residual (dicho de otro modo, la cantidad de CO2 que aún se puede enviar a la atmósfera para tener alguna probabilidad de no superar tal o cual límite de calentamiento). Las publicaciones científicas sintetizadas por el GIEC ofrecen estimaciones sobre este presupuesto para no superar el 1,5ºC y 2ºC a nivel global. Basta dividirlos por la población para obtener el presupuesto carbono residual por persona. Conociendo la intensidad de carbono en la economía (la cantidad de CO2 por unidad de PIB) y la productividad del trabajo (en dólares/hora), se puede calcular el tiempo de trabajo que no se debería superar para respetar el presupuesto carbono. Según un investigador que ha realizado el cálculo para el supuesto de 2ºC, ese tiempo de trabajo máximo sería algo inferior a seis horas semanales para los países de la OCDE ..."

Aprendiendo a reconocer nuestros verdaderos deseos y necesidades, vía @tiempo... - 0 views

  •  
    "Las necesidades humanas fundamentales o básicas son las mismas en todas las culturas y en todos los períodos históricos. Lo que cambia a través del tiempo y de las culturas es la manera o los medios utilizados para la satisfacción de las necesidades. En ese sentido, cada sistema económico, social y político adopta diferentes estilos para la satisfacción de las mismas necesidades humanas fundamentales. En cada sistema, éstas se satisfacen (o no) a través de la generación (o no generación) de diferentes tipos de satisfactores. Uno de los aspectos que define una cultura es precisamente la elección de su satisfactores. A continuación, os proponemos una serie de actividades diseñadas por Marta González Reyes a realizar en el aula para favorecer la cooperación y la reflexión conjunta entre los alumnos y alumnas entorno al tema de las necesidades humanas y los satisfactores. Estas actividades parten de una reflexión realizada en Consume hasta morir, que se puede encontrar en este enlace: http://www.letra.org/spip/spip.php?article1928."
