    A recent Department of Education study suggested that blended classes (part online and part face-to-face) had higher achievement levels than either face-to-face or totally online classes. Students felt greater community in blended classes. This session will explore the design and delivery of blended classes to provide the benefits of both on campus and virtual instruction. What a Blended Course is NOT: —Traditional classroom activities + "let's put some stuff on the web" —Online courses with campus tests On campus lectures with reading and tests online

      Folksonomy (tagging) is 1 of 3 categorizations of Web 2.0 tools. This article from the "Handbook of Research on New Media Literacy at the K-12 level" provides clear definition and powerful application of tagging activities. This excellent article shows Web 2.0 technologies as cognitive tools.

  • Gmail Meter is an Apps Script which runs on the first day of every month and sends you an email containing different statistics about your Inbox. In a similar way to how recently introduced Google Account Activity gives key stats about how you’ve used your Google Account, Gmail Meter gives you different types of statistics that will help you analyze your Gmail habits.

twitter metacognition education learning

shared by Kartini Ishak on 24 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • From an instructor’s perspective, Twitter offers the ability to prompt students throughout the learning process by asking them to reflect on learning strategies and time management, which ultimately raises metacognitive awareness.
  • While the use of Twitter only shows a slight increase in grades (about .5 percent), it substantially improves engagement and motivation
  • Twitter enhances the social presence outside of the classroom, which leads to overall course satisfaction.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • if student satisfaction, engagement, and metacognitive awareness are all part of your definition of a successful course, then introducing Twitter in your classroom may be an option for you.
  • Twitter is not static. Rather, it is an interactive tool under learner control. Further, Maria Bannert refers to a metacognitive support device that “focuses students’ attention on their own thoughts and on understanding the activities they are engaged in during the course of learning.” When used explicitly as a tool to improve self-regulation through metacognitive support, Twitter becomes very effective.

    An interesting article on how Twitter can be used as a metacognitive - thinking about your own learning - supportive device.

  • Rules of Engagement As social media continues to evolve, defining the “rules of engagement” will encourage thoughtful interaction that benefits the business, brand, customer, peers, and prospects at every touchpoint. In the end, we earn the attention, relationships and business we deserve.
  • Don’t just participate solely in your own domains
  • Participate where your presence is advantageous and mandatory.

  • Don’t just listen and placate — act. Do something.
  • Consistently create, contribute, and reinforce service and value.
  • Don’t get lost in translation. Ensure your communication and intent is clear and that your involvement maps to objectives created for the social web.

    Very interesting description of LRS. Do you think we can develop one or more of our own?
  • yeuann on 17 Jul 13
     
    Hi Ashley, I've been reading through this section for developers: http://tincanapi.com/page-developers/. From what I understand so far, an LRS should do at least one of the following: - Standardize and serialize the various types of data from different networks (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) into an LMS-friendly format - Act as a stand-alone enterprise-level web-service from which other web-services can extract the collated data for their own usage. The Tin Can APIs look useful so far for our own use (including mobile support), since they support Javascript, Objective C and Java. I believe these APIs can link up with Google Enterprise Apps for greater LRS functionality too.
  • Ashley Tan on 17 Jul 13
     
    Ah, that's good news indeed if Google Enterprise Apps are friendly towards this strategy. Keep monitoring. Things tend to change rapidly with Google!

mobile security

shared by bernard tan on 16 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • STOCKHOLM - Visitors to a Stockholm hotel will be able to use mobile phones instead of keys to unlock the doors to their rooms.
  • Repeat visitors during a four-month trial will be able to check in through their phones before arrival and have their phones activated as "keys." They will then be able to skip the registration desk and unlock the door by holding the phone next to it.The short-range radio technology, known as Near Field Communication, is expected to be built into smart phones in the coming years. It is also envisioned for ticketing and card payments. Assa Abloy says it wanted to test the system before expanding it to other hotels, commercial buildings and homes.
  • But once people have the technology in their own phones, he said, it will save them time at check-in and improve security because the access credentials in a lost phone can be revoked remotely.

Why The iPad Is a Learning Tool by Sesh Kumar : Learning Solutions Magazine - 1 views

ipad learning mobile

shared by mazlanhasan on 08 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • as a learning tool, the iPad’s single-screen interface reduces elements of interruption and potentially enhances user orientation to a specific task. An abundance of features can be a disturbance to the cognitive process, and educators often prefer mobile devices without distractive features like messaging and phone calls.
  • Modern educators are voicing the need for learning to be more contextual and engaging. Mobile phones and digital whiteboards add a level of interactivity, but not a lot of computing power, and a laptop is not always convenient.
  • The iPad fills this gap by enabling a host of activities such as referencing, collaborating, and creating content. In an August 2010 Wired.com article, “The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet,” the transformation from open Web browsing to specialized apps was a change driven by the Apple model of mobile computing. The iPad leverages this trend by providing personalized choice of content, a big plus for student users.

  • This is a huge paradigm shift

  • I found myself thinking less about Web pages and urls and more about specific places to go, places within places.
  • It's not that the iPad does everything well but it does do everything I need it to do well enough
  • Instead of comparing it to a cellphone or a laptop we should be exploring its potential for new ways of meaning-making.
  • test out the educational value
  • iPad is a Kindle killer in the e-book category because it creates a more intimate reading experience.
  • Because it can do the things I need to do when I'm on the go, the iPad has turned my laptop into my new desktop.
  • Make it a content creation device as well.
  • it's come in quite handy with my dissertation work. Using an application called Papers which I have on both my laptop and the iPad, I am able to access various education and research databases, download articles, and mark them up

    Mobile learning 2.0 is more about creating learning experiences-engaging and challenging activities that result in significant changes to knowledge and behavior. If you find that there is a particular advantage to being mobile, then look at the end goal of what you're trying to achieve and reverse-engineer it. One of the decisions you will need to make is whether or not to develop your mobile learning application within your company or to use a custom developer.

technology matrix

shared by Eveleen Er on 18 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students
  • The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments.
  • Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.

  • Facebook is such a popular application that is so widely used for personal and business uses, it makes no business sense to ban it. If companies do not address this they could be at the mercy of corporate suicide
  • Social networking is like food and drink to Generation Y workers, they are so used to communicating in a more open and collaborative way. Therefore, forward looking companies should be aiming to encourage social media activity amongst their employees rather than stifling it

      I couldn't agree more with this final statement stating that social networking is vital to Gen Y workers. We communicate more openly and collaboratively through this medium. And it should be encouraged rather than being stopped.
  • yeuann on 07 Jul 11
     
    Thanks Kartini! I strongly agree too. To add on to your point, I think for the Gen-Yers, social media tools also facilitate on-going collaboration by engaging the emotive power of relational bonds to help bring everyone onto the same page. I remember reading this in my Media Theories module: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda-setting_theory... hope you find it relevant! "Agenda-setting theory is the theory that the news media have a large influence on audiences by their choice of what stories to consider newsworthy and how much prominence and space to give them. Agenda-setting theory's main postulate is salience transfer. Salience transfer is the ability of the news media to transfer issues of importance from their news media agendas to public agendas. Through their day-by-day selection and display of the news, editors and news directors focus our attention and influence our perceptions of what are the most important issues of the day. This ability to influence the salience of topics on the public agenda has come to be called the agenda setting role of the news media."

social media google+

shared by Kartini Ishak on 20 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • Google+ is already indexed and searched by Google, making marketing searches much easier than other platforms. Just drop “site:plus.google.com” before any search in Google, and you’ll see what people are saying about you inside the platform.
  • Don’t think “social network.” Think “communications backbone.” This tool allows for private collaboration (privacy is much easier to understand here, but it does require some learning), and permits a “one stop” kind of area for talking internally and externally without causing problems. And it works with email, not in lieu of email.
  • Google+ evolves from Gmail. No matter what the kiddies say, email is still the digital communications backbone of the modern world. SMS might feel like second place, but it’s a distant second. Google+ is very tied to Gmail, with hundreds of millions of users. It feels very natural as an extension in a way that Twitter and Facebook do not.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • A social network made by Google impacts search. Google isn’t saying it like that, because they wouldn’t want to cause a panicking stampede, but think about this: Google has all the data from Google+. They can’t get any data from Facebook. Google controls search. Where would you cast your vote for search-improvement activities?
