▶ Jane McGonigal: Truths & Myths in Gaming - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "Video game designer Jane McGonigal argues that games are not a waste of time. In fact, she argues, "we need to look at what games are doing for gamers, the skills that we're developing, the relationships that we're forming, the heroic qualities that we get to practice every time we play, like resilience, like perseverance, and grit, and determination, like having epic ambitions and the ability to work with other players, sometimes thousands of other players at the same time."

The Many Benefits, for Kids, of Playing Video Games | Psychology Today - 0 views

  • I ask you to consider the possibility that the kid is learning more valuable lessons at the computer than at school, in part because the computer activity is self-chosen and the school activity is not.

Amidst a Mobile Revolution in Schools, Will Old Teaching Tactics Work? | MindShift - 0 views

      Sorry, same article but from the original source.
  • “I’m petrified that we’ll apply new technology to old pedagogy,” Soloway said. “Right now, the iPad craze is using the same content on a different device. Schools must change the pedagogy.”
  • “It’s the classic cycle of old wine in new bottles that tends to happen when people get excited about the technology itself,”

  • “What I’m hearing from schools more is that they’ve eliminated policies restricting using mobile devices for learning and they’re interested in developing mobile learning programs as fast as possible,” Dede said. “We’re going from districts fearing it and blocking it off to welcoming it and making it a major part of their technology plan. We’ll be surprised if a significant portion of districts aren’t using mobile learning inside and outside of schools soon.”
  • Flash card programs for the iPad are too numerous to count. What a waste!”
  • The opportunity of using mobile devices and all of its utilities allows educators to reconsider: What do we want students to know, and how do we help them? And what additional benefit does using a mobile device bring to the equation? This gets to the heart of the mobile learning issue: beyond fact-finding and game-playing – even if it’s educational — how can mobile devices add relevance and value to how kids learn?
  • one of the most important tenets of a well-rounded education: personalized learning – students owning what they learn.
  • Kids are still learning to type, they’re not as good as multi-processing. It’s all they can do to keep track of one thing that’s going on,”

The Innovative Educator: You can never replace the teacher. Or can you? 10 ways to learn without teachers. - 0 views

  • I never learned anything I was tested on. After I was forced to memorize and regurgitate onto the paper, the uninteresting, disconnected facts, stayed on the test. 
  • I don’t blame myself though. I did as I was told and I excelled in the game of school.
  • The reality for me is that I would have been much better off without the teachers in my life weighing me down and wasting my time.

  • Unlike Jon and my friend though, many of us learn more effectively without teachers and there are more and more ways to do just that.

    An interesting post about whether a teacher is really useful. There are issues with this argument (student motivation being one) but it likely sums up the experiences of many and prompts the need for more individualized learning.
