Dear CEHHS faculty and students,
I am pleased to announce the availability statistical consulting to students throughout the academic year.  On

"It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures,

"Los programas de formación del profesorado funcionan como factores de control social. Y lo hacen en grado tal que, educan a futuras generaciones de profesores para que acepten tales aptitudes, actitudes y disposiciones de ánimo que sustentan el orden social dominante. Tampoco se sugiere con esta postura que los alumnos sean tan maleables e incapaces que se sometan voluntariamente a su propio sacrificio. Los programas de formación del profesorado operan con parámetros muy compulsivos, aunque también contengan opciones de crear nuevas posibilidades y realidades sociales. En esta formación están las bases de los intelectuales críticos que puedan abordar la tarea de generar una toma de conciencia más radical e imaginativa entre sus colegas de trabajo, sus amigos y alumnos. Es básico reconocer que estos programas de formación no se presentan sólo en tensión dialéctica con la sociedad, también mediatizan tensiones y contradicciones específicas de sus propios intereses y cometidos. Son estas tensiones y contradicciones las que atestiguan su relativa autonomía y en este contexto es donde pueden los profesores radicales encontrar un espacio político para desarrollar cursos innovadores y formas pedagógicas alternativas. Oportunidad que no debería ignorarse. La futura reforma debe servir para que los estudiantes sean capaces de ahondar en las realidades del sentido común, en lo superficial, con el fin de configurara sus experiencias cotidianas. Asimismo debería dárseles a los alumnos la oportunidad de crear sus propios significados, hablar según su conciencia y llegar a comprender que siempre hay algo más que ver, oír y sentir, que la calidad de nuestro placer está en cierta medida en función de lo que sabemos."

"Formación del Profesorado, Tecnología Educativa e Identidad Docente Digital / Digital Teacher Education, Educational Technology and Teacher Digital Identity José Miguel Correa Gorospe, Lorea Fernández Olaskoaga, Aingeru Gutiérrez-Cabello Barragán, Daniel Losada Iglesias, Begoña Ochoa-Aizpurua Aguirre Resumen La perspectiva de la identidad docente digital es una oportunidad para repensar la influencia de la postmodernidad sobre la Escuela, el curriculum y los docentes. Basándonos en Bauman, Wenger o Gergen hemos definido la identidad digital docente, como un proceso dinámico y permanente que implica dotar de sentido y reinterpretar las propias creencias, valores y experiencias docentes a la luz de los nuevos contextos y marcos de relaciones en la sociedad contemporánea caracterizada por la digitalización de la experiencia humana. En este artículos hemos relacionado la identidad digital docente con los cambios acaecidos en la sociedad contemporánea, las concepciones del conocimiento, la escuela o la autoridad curricular. Reivindicamos un enfoque de la tecnología educativa crítica basada en la emancipación y convivencialidad, que incorpore la reflexión sobre cómo nos configuramos a partir de las experiencias digitales y de la cultura visual. Terminamos este artículo reinvindicando la pedagogía narrativa como estrategia de biografización de la experiencia digital docente."
