Laptop Carts vs. One to One (1:1) - 12 views

I think it can be done. I know I had an empty cart sitting in the server closet at 89. I think it would be better than letting them sit around doing nothing.

  • Work avoidance just went digital
  • ou need to find ways to bring that into class, not try and ban it.
  • Find ways in which one or two students can ‘share’ work with many. Create online spaces where students can use ‘friend-networks’.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 11. Don’t be boring! Using a laptop to type in answers to textbook questions, print them out and hand it is absolutely facile. Your textbook is NOT compatible with student motivation towards technology. Boring computer activities lead to work avoidance strategies and self-interest use of the internet.
  • 12. Don’t try to win the proxy war Filters can be got around, they will always find a way. Entering a proxy war means more wasted time trying to work out what sites will work – You have to test your lessons using THEIR proxy (web access) – as you’ll find that things you want to use are blocked. Overtly policed and blocked networks are counter-productive.
  • 15. The wipe-board is no longer the hub of activity – unless you put it online. The board is not the place to ‘look’. Consider how it can be used to work with ‘small groups’ to workshop ideas – and use the laptops as a student management tool to keep them busy and focused on work – not you or the board.
  • 18. Empower and enlist your Library Librarians are teachers with an additional skill – enlist them in your classroom as a team-teacher. Don’t ask them to find online resources for you – that’s lazy, as them to teach you how to do it, or teach your students.
  • Powerful learning, comes from passionate, motivated teachers who never stop learning. Don’t lock-step these people by industrialist notions of hierarchical power play – or resort to moral or ideological pressure to teachers to do more. It is a long slow process to renew learning, not overnight change. Recognise how important the goodwill of staff is – given the absolute lack of central government funding to invest in teachers – the way it is investing in infrastructure. The criteria used to target ‘future leaders’ is not going to be as effective as it once was, so be prepared for innovation to come from the grassroots.

  • As massive open online courses continue to evolve, however, educators need to know what they are and how they are changing the education landscape. In fact, teachers and professors could be well served by trying out MOOCs for themselves. After all, the classes are free and full of information. Providers such as Coursera, edX and Udacity offer catalogs of subject- and skills-organized options for new MOOC-takers. For anyone working in education, though, the best first stop might be “Education” category at Coursera.

    Being proactive is key in harnessing the power of emerging technologies like social media. Check out this article on the implications of social media in the workplace from an HR perspective. Try looking at the content through the eyes of an IT specialist. Directly from the article "The Bottom Line" Organizations must develop strong policies and implement them in a defensible way. If there are no internal resources with the hybrid legal and IT experience needed to execute a smart e-discovery strategy, it's advisable to hire outside expertise. Getting your e-discovery ducks in a row may be a tall order, but it can be done. Here are some guidelines: 1. Know your enemy. Find out what kinds of social media tools are being used in your organization and why. 2. Don't try to ban social media. Locking down your company's Internet access is an unrealistic goal, and it sends the wrong message to employees. 3. Establish good policies. Consider legal risks in all of the company's existing policies, including corporate communications and acceptable use policies. 4. Educate employees. Communicate why policies are important for the well-being of the organization and its staff. 5. Solicit feedback. Ask users for their input about policy changes. This will go a long way in ensuring adoption. 6. Keep it short. Make policies clear and understandable, and cut the legal jargon. Provide guidelines and examples to help employees understand the company's expectations. 7. Require employees to certify (in writing) their understanding and compliance with all corporate policies. 8. Track and audit the use of social media sites. This will provide valuable insight about policy compliance and the nature of social media use. Most importantly, learn to embrace social media for all of its benefits. Used properly, social media tools enhance your brand, foster collaboration, and help build the kinds of relationships you need to develop successful teams.

    Previous research has shown that disfluency - the subjective experience of difficulty asso- ciated with cognitive operations - leads to deeper processing. Two studies explore the extent to which this deeper processing engendered by disfluency interventions can lead to improved memory performance. Study 1 found that information in hard-to-read fonts was better remembered than easier to read information in a controlled laboratory setting. Study 2 extended this finding to high school classrooms. The results suggest that superficial changes to learning materials could yield significant improvements in educational outcomes.

A Taste for Telepresence -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • He envisioned that telepresence would allow the district to participate in cultural exchanges among local students and those in other countries. It could be used to deliver staff development courses and enable people to get together for district business meetings without the time, expense, or carbon emissions associated with physical travel.
  • VoIP was a revelation to the district. Teachers have become more immediately accessible to parents, who no longer have to leave messages in the main offices and hope to be available when teachers call back. And now, when a teacher or staff member moves to another location in the district, the phone and a person's number can follow along; all it requires is a simple update through software. "We know who's got that device, where they have it, where they have it plugged in," Devkota explains. In short, VoIP gave the district community a taste for location-free communications, which naturally led to the next best thing to being there: telepresence.

    I think this an interesting article. The only aspect that gave me pause, other than cost, was the idea of location-free_communications. I'm envisioning PA systems on steroids. I opened a topic "Telepresence" to see if anyone wanted to weigh in on the topic.
