Artículo en inglés... "Mobile devices as teaching tools are becoming a more and more common part of the American education experience in classrooms, from preschool through graduate school. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that 58% of U.S. teachers own smartphones - 10 percentage points higher than the national average for adults. Those teachers are building that tech-savviness into their lesson plans, too, by embracing bring-your-own-device policies and leading the push for an iPad for every student. In 2013, an estimated 25% of U.S. schools had BYOD policies in place and it's reasonable to assume those numbers have risen in the past two years. ..."

Publicado el 15 mar. 2012 Our world is changing at an unprecedented pace. To prepare our students, lessons must go beyond the "3 R's" and foster 21st century skills. Skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity will be essential for students to take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Aurasma es un App que une el mundo real de la fotografía estática con el virtual de la realidad aumentada. Y esta idea de los pósters me la ha dado la lectura del post Ipad Lessons with Aurasma (en inglés)."

2011 brought us the buzzword craze of "gamification" in education, or the quest to make learning online more like a video game. Inspired by FourSquare's achievement badges as a way of motivating users to check in to location-based services and Mozilla's promise of outcomes-based badges in lieu o

"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

"Muchas veces hemos invitado a nuestros alumnos a "pensarlo mejor" o a sentarse en la "silla de pensar" para que piensen, sin embargo no hemos integrado en la escuela el hecho de enseñar a pensar de forma organizada, sistemática y concreta. Es cierto que son muchos los momentos en los que provocamos en nuestros alumnos para que piensen, los propios contenidos curriculares lo hacen necesario y en la mayoría de ocasiones se consigue el objetivo pero normalmente no hacemos visible ese pensamiento. Dar visibilidad al pensamiento supone hacer a los alumnos conscientes del hecho de pensar, para ello debemos ofrecerles herramientas que les ayuden a identificar el tipo de pensamiento que están utilizando y los pasos que siguen en cada uno de ellos. Lo que ocurre es que normalmente, centramos nuestra atención en lo pensado y no reparamos en la acción de pensar. Al pensar efectuamos muchos procesos: crear, decidir, juzgar, describir, predecir, sintetizar, deducir… etc. etc. etc… Sin embargo, llevar a cabo estos procesos no es exactamente pensar. Estas son las destrezas de pensamiento,pero, ejecutadas mecánica o aisladamente, no suponen verdadero pensamiento. Es necesaria una ejecución consciente de estos procesos para que puedan considerarse pensar. El Centro Nacional para la Enseñanza del Pensamiento (es decir: el National Center for Teaching Thinking, NCTT) es una organización radicada en Massachussets, en Estados Unidos, concebida y dirigida por Robert Swartz, profesor emérito en la Universidad de Massachussets y filósofo de formación, que cuenta con una contrastada trayectoria profesional en el ámbito de la pedagogía y el estudio del aprendizaje. Las destrezas que se persigue desarrollar en los estudiantes tienen que ver fundamentalmente con el pensamiento crítico y creativo. Se trata de que los estudiantes desarrollen hábitos de pensamiento que les sean útiles en su vida diaria, a la vez que se hacen conscientes de sus propios procesos menta

"Teaching climate science & action can seem daunting: for university-level lecturers, teaching to younger children can be quite intimidating. For primary-level teachers, the science and scope can seem too vast and fast changing to cover. For everyone, the content can be overwhelming. As adults, how do we present this topic to children: give them the information they need without crushing them? I decided to face the challenge, and over the course of one rather sleepless night, put together some materials for my 6 year-old son's class. This post summarizes and communicates that experience, in the hope that others can take ideas and inspiration, and will be encouraged to volunteer to teach about climate in primary schools. Teaching and engagement in schools is now part of all of our work, as researchers, academics, parents, activists, advocates, so I hope this idea spreads. The 4-part lesson plan worked quite well: the topics & materials held the children's attention, gave them varied aspects to think about and interact with, and they seemed to come away with deeper understanding. The whole thing took roughly 1 hour. This is doable!"
