20+ Tips From The Most Effective Online Teachers - Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    The fundamentals that define a great teacher don't differ much whether classes are taught in the online setting or off, but there are certain things that need greater emphasis and gain greater importance when a teacher is working with students who aren't in a traditional classroom setting. Knowing how to highlight these things to help students reach their potential and get more out of a course is what separates online teachers who are good from those who are great.

Gradebook - 0 views

  •  
    Teachers know that managing a class is no small task. They have to manage grades, rosters, and at times, even seating arrangements. LearnBoost is a website that tries to merge all these features into an online interface, with a focus on grading. If you are a teacher, all you need to do is create an account on the site and then set up your school.

News: Professors and Social Media - Inside Higher Ed - 1 views

    • Shelley Rodrigo
       
      Yeah, but which one? And in what capacity? YouTube can just be more "sage on the stage" or, I'm being generous, sage vetted alternative content delivery material.
    • Peter Combs
       
      It depends. Checkout www.tinyurl.com/ycLL4dq It's a group of math grad students who run a website for math review for accuplacer, sat, act, etc. MCCCD testing centers gives out free booklets for math review for the accuplacer. Accuplacer sells math review for their own placement tests. But read the equations and they just bounce off your eyes and fall to the flloor. However, watch the math grads on youtube explain it and even people who took math 30 years ago say "oh yeah, I remember how to solve those quadratic equations."

      Peter, I know...and that is part of the point I was making in my talk! Thanks for sharing the example!
    • Shelley Rodrigo
       
      Notice who funded this research! This is not surprise considering some of the criticism about who funds the various research projects and organizations support "21st Century Skills."
    • Peter Combs
       
      Yes, and coal companies pay ASU professors mucho dinero to prove there is no global warming. Coal money also pays for lots of TA's & RA's ... keep Deans happy and ASU in the top 60 research institutes in the US.
    • Shelley Rodrigo
       
      Yes, I knew it! However, YouTube can be interactive, a read/write technology. I wonder if those professors using YouTube actually have YouTube accounts, know how to favorite, rate, reply, and respond? How many have their own channels and actually publish stuff? 
    • Peter Combs
       
      Hmm, how many online teachers answer their email? (present company excluded!!) ;-) I didn't like podcasts for a long time because I can read faster than most people talk. Then I discovered I could clean house while listening to podcasts and I changed my tune.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, LinkedIn, MySpace, Flickr, Slideshare, or Google Wave
  • The data suggest that 80 percent of professors, with little variance by age, have at least one account with either Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, LinkedIn, MySpace, Flickr, Slideshare, or Google Wave
  • Nearly 60 percent kept accounts with more than one
  • a quarter used at least four
  • A majority, 52 percent, said they used at least one of them as a teaching tool.

    Video IS this generation's myths & stories. Some linguists say visual symbols are the basis of language and that's why we dream. In English, an instructor could engage students by interspersing video clips of "Prospero's Books" with "The Tempest." Most instructors in science for non-science majors know a movie is de rigueur just before evaluation day! ;-)

FERPA and Social Media | Faculty Focus - 2 views

  • FERPA was never intended to place students into the box of a physical or online classroom to prevent them from learning from the public.
  • FERPA and Social Media FERPA applies only to information in the possession of the institution. This is an important point if instructors require students to post to a blog, social networking site, or any other site not affiliated with the institution. In this case, “the activity may not be FERPA-protected because it has not been received and therefore is not in the custody of the university, at least until the student submission is copied or possibly just reviewed by the faculty member.” (NC State FERPA Guidelines)
  • FERPA does not forbid instructors from using social media in the classroom, but common sense guidelines should be used to ensure the protection of students.
  •  
    FERPA is one of the most misunderstood regulations in education.
  •  
    That's a good one Dr. Cooper! I don't remember anything about this on the mandatory Maricopa/Rio training.
