23 Things about Classroom Laptops « - 2 views

  • 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.

5 MOOCs Teachers Should Take As Students | Edudemic - 0 views

  • Added by Brian Warmoth on 2013-03-26
  • 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.

    I was looking for something to replace AtomicLearning and this is what I found. It's pretty basic (read teacher friendly). There are many offerings for self-paced online training for productivity apps (MS Word, Excel); internet and social networking tools, and more.

A Thin Line : www.athinline.org - 1 views

  •  
    I think the survey would be a great way to begin a conversation with students about online responsibility. I try to get my teachers to bring their classes to the lab for an intro. covering AUPs, procedures, handling of hardware, etc.. It's a hard sell but I continue to do it anyway.
