The New 3 Es of Education - 0 views

  •  
    Project Tomorrow This report is the first in a two part series to document the key national findings from Speak Up 2010. In this report "The New 3E's of Education: Enabled, Engaged, Empowered - How Today's Students are Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Learning," we are building upon that student vision and focusing on three specific key trends that have generated significant interest this past year at conferences, in policy discussions and within our schools and districts: mobile learning, online and blended learning and e-textbooks. Each of these trends include the essential components of the student vision of socially-based, un-tethered and digitally rich learning, but they also directly address the three new "E's of Education" - enable, engage and empower.

Blended Learning: New Solution to an Old Problem | Getting Smart by %author_name% | %tag% - 0 views

  • We can provide every student in America access to great teachers, but that won’t happen in a traditional classroom (as Public Impact has so clearly spelled out)—it will happen when we leverage talent with technology and blend the best of online and onsite learning.
  • To power these new models that combine local and national resources, Digital Learning Now calls for educational funding that is weighted, portable, and performance-based.

How Professors Would Fix Textbooks - 0 views

  • One reason why paper textbooks cost so much is because publishers need to recover their costs of producing new books in the first or second semester, Brady said. That's because the books end up in the used book market after that time, where publishers don't get a cut. And digital textbooks have kept a similar high-priced model, he said, which encourages students to break the encryption on them or stick with paper books because they can sell them back.
  • And videos, of course, can't be printed.
  • By using the HTML5 online content language, Brady hopes to give students cheaper instructional books that will give them all their material in one place. And the material will be updated in near real time.

  • Brady plans to embed video tutorials and interviews with business leaders for what he calls a "learning book" on logistics and supply chain management. If his group finds enough funding, the book would be updated with real-time information and would sell for $15 or $20.
  • Brady's idea is a good one, Buttross said, though Brady isn't the only one working on something like this. He would actually like to see Brady's learning book have 40 modules so that he can pick the 16 he wants to use in his class
  • "I think that in general you shouldn't sell books," Buttross said. "You should sell modules and let professors put together their own books."

When Does Blended Learning Work Best? - 0 views

  • "Allowing students to pursue learning experiences that are relevant to them -- including traditional seat-based environments and digital learning opportunities -- is the best strategy," Haglund said. "The same thing with adults, frankly. I don't want every teacher to be teaching in a virtual environment because not every teacher has the interest or skills to support that type of an instructional environment."
