The Innovative Educator: Why I will no longer work to differentiate instruction! - 0 views

  • many teachers groan when anyone talks about differentiated instruction because it just makes them feel inadequate
  • The conversation must evolve from “Differentiating Instruction” to “Differentiating Learning
  •  
    "What we really need to help occur in classroom is differentiated "learning". This accomplishes the student ownership of the learning, allows for a passion-driven approach, shifts the responsibility for the learning to the learner (where it belongs) and changes the teachers role to what you consistently advocate."

The Twitter Trap - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • my inner worrywart wonders whether the new technologies overtaking us may be eroding characteristics that are essentially human: our ability to reflect, our pursuit of meaning, genuine empathy, a sense of community connected by something deeper than snark or political affinity.
  • “The generation that had information, but no context. Butter, but no bread. Craving, but no longing.”
  • before we succumb to digital idolatry, we should consider that innovation often comes at a price. And sometimes I wonder if the price is a piece of ourselves.

    "Last week my wife and I told our 13-year-old daughter she could join Facebook. Within a few hours she had accumulated 171 friends, and I felt a little as if I had passed my child a pipe of crystal meth."

When is Creativity "Authentic"? Making Music on the iPad. - iPads in Education - 0 views

  • Our schools are very keyed into academic content and standards and we tend to focus too heavily on apps that drill and practice math, vocabulary and more. The inherent magic of mobile devices lies in their ability to enable students to express themselves creatively
  •  
    I recently came across the incredible Guitar Improvisation video below. It's an amazing piece of music that was completely created using GarageBand on the iPad. In fact, there have been quite a few popular music videos recently that feature artists creating music using iOS apps. In a second video below, the band Atomic Tom use their iPhones to perform on a New York City subway. A third video features a teenage girl creating music using GarageBand on the iPad.

Schools set up for the Google generation | Stuff.co.nz - 0 views

  • "I think a teacher tries to organise their classroom so they scaffold the learning of students. When they can't see what's going on, it can be really challenging."
  • "There are advantages and disadvantages to everything. What we have to do is set up an education environment so that the innovations actually become helpful to education. It is quite possible that if we do nothing, they will get in the way."
  •  
    In the classrooms of the future, students will use their phone as a computer and instead of raising their hand to ask a question, they'll simply send the teacher a tweet. Imogen Neale reports. Some schools demand students leave their digital devices at home, but Albany Senior High School, north of Auckland, has taken the opposite approach, BYOD. "That means, Bring Your Own Device," explains deputy principal Mark Osborne.

The problem with the iPad and Facebook « Esko Kilpi on Interactive Value Crea... - 0 views

  • Reach together with symmetry and equality were the things that made the Internet such a radical social innovation.
  • The real genius of Napster was the way it made collaboration automatic. By default, a consumer of files was also a producer of files for the network.
  • The big challenge for many organizations is to do things in a much, much simpler and more responsive way. The sad truth is that it is easier for managers to grasp the threat of competition than the risk of simply becoming obsolete.
  •  
    I believe that Napster gave us a glimpse of the future. The architecture it pioneered is going to be a viable model for the agile value constellations of the very near future. Client-server is not the only truth and Facebook is (just) a modern version of a Telco. Facebook is not the same as the Internet.

Is always to announce another innovation which is showed throughout the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show scheduled for September 15 to 25.

    Employers are expressing increasing dissatisfaction with the ability of college graduates to access, evaluate, and communicate information; to use information technology (IT) tools effectively; and to work well within groups across cultural lines. A change of instructional paradigms--from passive to active (authentic) learning strategies, such as project-based learning, problem-based learning, or inquiry-based learning--is clearly needed.

iPads 4 Learning Survey! | iPads 4 Learning @ MLC - 0 views

  • We will continue to build on using the iPads as a relevant learning device and to further develop and explore innovative ways and methods to best utilise them as tools for teaching and learning. Through the continued DEECD iPads 4 Learning trial Evaluation, i am sure that the data we gather from this will certainly give a great insight in to iPads for Learning.
  • Giving students the option to direct their own learning goes a very long way in giving them ownership of the task. It allows them to play to their strengths and their learning styles. This in turn increases engagement and with the massive amount of creative app’s available for students to use, this can only be a positive.
  •  
    We have now been involved in the DEECD iPads 4 Learning Trial now for roughly 9 months .. I think that the students involved in the trial are past the iPads being a 'toy' and that the novelty of using these devices has also worn off. Using one of Google's great features, Google Docs, i created a form (survey) for the Yr 6 students to answer.

  • B Devauchelle : Faut-il inverser l'enseignement, l'apprentissage ou même l'établissement ?
  • Redisons-le d'abord simplement. Ce n'est pas parce que je remplace mon cours magistral par une vidéo que je change de modèle pédagogique. Ce n'est pas parce que les exercices se font en classe au lieu de se faire à la maison (ce qui est partiellement faux dans les faits) que cela change le modèle pédagogique basé sur l'alternance apport/entraînement
  • La classe inversée a d'abord ce mérite d'avoir amené l'enseignant à se rendre compte qu'apprendre est plus compliqué qu'enseigner et que la principale compétence de l'enseignant c'est "l'ajustement" cognitif et métacognitif
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • La classe inversée n'est pas en soi une innovation pédagogique, elle est surtout une prise de conscience professionnelle.
  • Car d'inversion, il en est au moins deux autres qui méritent d'être étudiées : celle qui inverse la place de l'élève d'une part, celle qui inverse le cœur de l'établissement scolaire. Dans les deux cas, comme dans la classe inversée "modèle traditionnel", le numérique n'est qu'un plus, mais il n'est pas forcément fondamental, il apporte simplement une souplesse supplémentaire à l'exercice d'inversion.
  • Par contre la difficulté peu mise en avant est celle de la qualité des visionnages ou des lectures des élèves en amont du "cours" : ces supports peuvent être de très mauvaise qualité et produire un effet de rejet ou de lassitude, mais plus simplement les élèves peuvent avoir, pour certains, du mal à rentrer dans ce mode de travail à la maison qui peut se révéler assez passif.
  • Modèle de l'inversion de l'apprendre   Le modèle de l'inversion de l'apprendre est celui sur lequel se sont basées les approches connectivistes ou les approches des communautés d'apprentissage. Dans la classe, c'est Ann Brown qui a en particulier travaillé cette dimension de l'élève enseignant
  • L'inversion ici tient du fait que l'on propose à l'élève de faire un enseignement à la place de l'enseignant
  • Certains disent rapidement que ce que l'on maîtrise le mieux c'est ce que l'on enseigne, et une vision paradoxale serait celle de Jacques Rancière rapportant l'histoire de Jacotot dans son livre le Maître Ignorant (Le Maître ignorant : Cinq leçons sur l'émancipation intellectuelle, Fayard 1987
  • Modèle de l'inversion dans la structure de l'établissement   C'est en travaillant sur l'idée de "Learning Center" (qu'il ne faut ni confondre ni réduire au centre de documentation) que l'on peut en arriver à l'inversion au niveau de l'établissement. Pour le dire rapidement l'inversion de l'établissement repose sur l'organisation physique de l'établissement sur les élèves plutôt que sur les cours, les enseignants et leurs salles de classe
  • ttention ces lieux doivent travailler la cohérence et non pas la juxtaposition des services. Les moyens numériques sont convoqués ici pour faciliter le travail des élèves et permettre une continuité au-delà du lieu et du temps scolaire. Et les enseignants alors ? Ils sont les partenaires privilégiés de cette inversion en proposant aux élèves une pédagogie de projet, allant vers l'autonomie et pour laquelle ils proposent un "accompagnement structurant",
