Edmodo vs Blogging - 0 views

edmodo blogging

shared by Gayle Cole on 23 Jan 13 - No Cached
  • Grade 6 embraced Edmodo from the start and used it in many ways,
  • class blogs have started to surface ( still limited to class member only access) and this has started to blur the lines between Edmodo and the class blogs. Our ICT Leader recently attended a network meeting and other leaders there questioned the purpose of Edmodo if they were already blogging
  • how to make a convincing argument for both Edmodo and blogging being transformative teaching and learning tools
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Edmodo as an all encompassing classroom management/teaching and learning/collaboration system.
  • My favorite feature of Edmodo and a big difference between itself and blogging. I’ve written a few posts on how I’ve used groups to organize my lessons with different small groups.
  • It’s simply a feature blogging doesn’t offer
  • convenience and ease of creating groups for different subjects or smaller groups within that group so that specific groups of children can collaborate and discuss.It takes no time to set the groups up and they can be altered at any time.
  • the simplicity of the Edmodo discussion wins me over compared to blogging. Simply add a note explaining the topic of the discussion, which can include images, videos, embedded links to other web tools, links to other sites, click Add and the discussion begins. All it takes is to hit the Reply button and the discussion is in full swing. The one feature I would like Edmodo to add is the ability to reply to a specific comment like you can in blogs. It can be a bit cumbersome having to write a reply to someone who wrote something 10 comments back.
  • sharing files is very easy with Edmodo
  • the polls and quizzes on Edmodo can be created much more quickly, albeit only by the teacher
  • Extrinsic motivation through Badges - Not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you like to use stickers or awards, Edmodo has its own reward system called badges. You can create your own (but it’s a lot easier to just grab badges already created by other Edmodo teachers – I’ve collected 190 of them from my connections) and to encourage or acknowledge student effort or work, you can simply select their name in your class list, select a badge and award it to the students
  • a good way to collate a whole bunch of comments for your student reports without doing any more work than giving that badge toa student.

grit character social learning blog web2.0

shared by Jill Bergeron on 22 Apr 14 - No Cached
  • To name a few, the national curriculum now includes coding, schools should now be teaching character, or ‘grit’ alongside subjects,
  • social learning - the use of peer review through social-media like sites where students can learn from and help each other through peer-review.
  • Find, Filter, Apply – Students no longer need to know everything, just how to find it, how to filter to get the most relevant info, and to apply it.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Sonic Pi teaches coding through music. Students basically build a synthesiser, thus accidentally learn concepts such as logic, sequencing, iteration and conditionals while doing something creative and imaginative.
  • when they found other people commenting on the blogs, they were even more engaged.
  • These social learning activities do not just aid learning through student motivation, they can also help to build the social skills or ‘grit’ that UK schools are now compelled to teach. When interacting online students learn that it is important to emphasise positives, celebrate success, to be constructive and also learn how to take criticism thus they learn conscientiousness, teamwork and resilience.

A Learning Secret: Don't Take Notes with a Laptop - Scientific American - 0 views

laptop notes notetaking

shared by Jill Bergeron on 10 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • students who write out their notes on paper actually learn more. 
  • those who wrote out their notes by hand had a stronger conceptual understanding and were more successful in applying and integrating the material than those who used took notes with their laptops.
  • taking notes by hand forces the brain to engage in some heavy “mental lifting,” and these efforts foster comprehension and retention.  By contrast, when typing students can easily produce a written record of the lecture without processing its meaning
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • high verbatim note content was associated with lower retention of the lecture material
  • transcription fails to promote a meaningful understanding or application of the information
  • Because students can use these posted materials to access lecture content with a mere click, there is no need to organize, synthesize or summarize in their own words.
  • those who took longhand notes outperformed laptop participants.  Because longhand notes contain students’ own words and handwriting, they may serve as more effective memory cues by recreating the context (e.g., thought processes, emotions, conclusions) as well as content (e.g., individual facts) from the original learning session.
  • evidence suggests that when college students use laptops, they spend 40% of class time using applications unrelated to coursework, are more likely to fall off task, and are less satisfied with their education
  • even when technology allows us to do more in less time, it does not always foster learning.  Learning involves more than the receipt and the regurgitation of information
  • When it comes to taking notes, students need fewer gigs, more brain power.

  • If you are looking for a tool that also allows for video narratives along with PowerPoint presentations (instead of basic audio), I would suggest Present.me (3).

  • PosterMyWall (4) is a fantastic tool for creating artistic, high-quality posters (5), collages, photo calendars and/or photo cards that can either be shared online or printed out and inexpensively shipped home.
  • PosterMyWall is slightly restricted in terms of the amount of options available for customization (mostly pictures and text), but other services, such as Glogster (6), offer a wider range of options.

  • Screencast-o-matic (7) is a powerful screen recorder that allows users to capture anything (8) happening on their screen, as well as voice and video from the webcam for up to 15 minutes in the recorder's free version.
  • Some high-quality alternatives to Screencast-o-matic are Jing (9) and Ezvid (10), both of which are very powerful and offer unique features.
  • Padlet (11) is another free program that facilitates the creation of virtual walls (12) where students and teachers can post sticky notes with almost anything they want.
  • Other similar sites are Linoit (13) or NoteApp (14).
