Week7 LearningEnvironment

shared by Roxana Sandu on 07 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • We live in a time of rapid change owing to accelerated technological advancement, increased globalization, power shifts on almost every societal level, and the changing nature of information. We are preparing our children for a future of frightening uncertainty, but astounding opportunity, and to prosper within that future, our children must become skilled, resourceful, and habitual learners — not just lifelong learners but adopting a learning lifestyle.

Uploaded by PBS on Aug 16, 2011 For decades now, people have joined together online to communicate and collaborate around interesting imagery. In recent years, the pace and intensity of this activity has reached a fever pitch. With countless communities engaging in a constant exchange, building on each others' work, and producing a prodigious flow of material, we may be experiencing the early stages of a new type of artistic and cultural collaboration. In this episode of Off Book, we'll speak with a number of Internet experts and artists who'll give us an introductory look into this intriguing new world.

Facebook unfriend students

    A school district in Florida is advising teachers not to "friend" students on social networking sites, claiming that teacher-student communication through this medium is "inappropriate."
  • anonymous on 21 Jul 11
     
    Interesting that these regulations are listed in the teachers' handbook. I live within walking distance from the school I work at, and often see neighborhood kids. One in particular is my student, in fact I was standing outside my home last night talking with two friends of mine and he walked by. He's a great kid and we always say hi and chat a little, but it's in the back of my mind that even that could be used against me by someone who is twisted. The weird thing about the inappropriate internet stuff is that there is always a paper trail, so it seems so obvious to not do certain things. I'm surprised FL advises teachers to not even use a "professional" user account with students, but apparently they feel the risks outweigh the advantages.

College 2.0: Academics and Colleges Split Their Personalities for Social Media - Techno... - 1 views

GroupD socialmedia academia

shared by Roxana Sandu on 18 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Many professors and higher-education leaders are struggling to strike a balance between their personal and professional lives when using online social media, a realm that encourages widespread sharing of thoughts and opinions. Often that means creating multiple accounts, one for each of the hats they wear. Some professors use Facebook with friends and family, reserving Twitter for professional observations, or vice versa.
  • There may be a benefit to that kind of sharing. Ms. Johnson recently conducted a survey of 120 students at the college about what they thought of a series of Twitter feeds run by professors. The majority of students found the professors who mixed in personal details with their down-to-business tweets more credible—rating them higher on measures of competence, trustworthiness, and caring. Her theory: Students want to end the semester with a connection to their professors, not just a head full of facts.

  • Martha Borden on 19 Jul 11
     
    Ms. Johnson's survey findings has made me think on my own personal rule of keeping school and personal separate in cyberspace. Question still remains is: at what age is it appropriate for teachers to mix school and personal...middle school, high school, college?

      I found that it is so critical to learn the language through the discovery of culture.  It is when you understand the culture you learn to view things in different perspective and open your mind to the language.

  • Another great resource for learners of any level are Chinese blogs.  They cover living, working and travelling in China, Chinese life and culture, and of course the Chinese language itself.

  • This article addresses the extent to which technology‐mediated social interactions dominate our daily lives, how we can leverage those interactions to the benefit of our learners, and how we can engage them in learning experiences in ways that will encourage them to practice language extensively.

      The theme of this article is same as what we have been talking in the workshop "Using the Web for Communicative Language Learning."
  • In addition to challenging existing dichotomies (face‐to‐face vs. online courses; synchronous vs. asynchronous uses), it is also important to understand the extent to which research can inform our use of technology.

      I think this is a great idea for using virtual reality in the classroom and can be adapted for any language.
  • The team will expand upon the initial pilot by hiring five Parisians from different neighborhoods to document and share their lives with a VR camera over the course of one to two months.

      I'm trying to figure out how to do this for my own classroom; I wonder if one day we could develop an exchange where we work with partners in other countries to gather video for each other for these types of projects.
  • Awardees hypothesize that virtual reality will allow language learners to have perceptual, empathetic, and culturally immersive experiences in multiple sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, etc.) that will enhance their vision, perceived value of language and culture learning, and willingness to communicate.

      I think this is something that we forget about on the virtual stage: we can still observe through body language and backgrounds about culture and cultural differences.
  • The students not only get to talk to one another but also can see how their partners react to questions, how they look, and how they live.
  • “It’s not knowing only a language,” he says, “but also knowing how to behave and acknowledge differences—cultural differences, behavioral differences.”

    Any learning activity in which all learners are simultaneously participating is called synchronous learning. It's real-time, highly interactive, and very social.
  • Francisco Dumanig on 01 Aug 20
     
    There are four most common synchronous formats: traditional classroom sessions, on-the-job coaching, web-based classes, and, recently, live streams in social media.

  • Online distance learning is impersonal and has the potential to violate personal privacy. Even a matter as seemingly straightforward as turning on web cameras can raise difficult questions: Are cameras needed to humanize the lesson? Do they force an uninvited intimacy, revealing the realities of students’ and faculty members’ living situations?
