Quality playground experience matters - 5 views

  •  
    "Playtime, or break, periods can offer physical, cognitive, social and emotional benefits to primary school children, but those benefits are tied closely to the quality of the playground experience. Playground safety, access to play equipment, peer conflict resolution and quality engagement between adults and students are among the factors that contribute to a quality recess experience, new research from Oregon State University (USA) shows."

Internet use in class tied to lower test scores - 31 views

  •  
    "Warning: Surfing the internet in class is now linked to poorer test scores, even among the most intelligent and motivated of students. Michigan State University researchers studied laptop use in an introductory psychology course and found the average time spent browsing the web for non-class-related purposes was 37 minutes. Students spent the most time on social media, reading email, shopping for items such as clothes and watching videos."

Self-concepts of ability in maths and reading predict later attainment - 13 views

  •  
    "Educational and developmental psychologists have tried to understand how skills and motivation are linked to academic achievement. While research supports ties between individuals' concepts of their abilities and their achievement, we lack a complete picture of how these relations develop from childhood to adolescence. A new longitudinal study looked at how youths' self-concepts are linked to their actual academic achievement in maths and reading from middle childhood to adolescence. The study found that students' self-concepts of their abilities in these two academic domains play an important role in motivating their achievements over time and across levels of achievement."

Discussions on classroom technology ask wrong questions, experts say | Deseret News - 35 views

      What new learning or experience do we get from the technology? Instead of "How is what we are learning now enhanced because of technology?" Wow! That is powerful!
  • What are you doing with technology that you couldn't do before? Are we just using it to digitize traditional processes, or are we using it to really reinvent learning?'"
  • Educational technologies allow for more autonomy and individual choice as students work toward proficiency.

  • Culatta said the best examples of implementation he has seen include three things: the ability for students to move at their own pace, the ability for students to choose between various learning activities, and learning activities that are tied to a student's personal interests.
  • "It's hard for a teacher to reach all of those students with a common presentation," Stephenson said. "Technology can actually individualize that instruction precisely for that student."

ASCD Inservice: Practice, Practice, Practice (Or: Homework, Homework, Homework?) - 1 views

  • Homework needs to be completed in order to produce the highest achievement gains. Design it with ease of completion in mind. A large amount of homework does not result in better learning. Homework should be academically purposeful, not a punishment or a symbol of the seriousness of study. Homework should be explicitly tied to the current learning goals of the class. Homework should be able to be completed without adult assistance. Parents or guardians should not be expected to act as content experts. Parents should, however, be provided with clear homework guidelines. Assignments that involve using the parents' expertise or personal experiences (such as interviews) are often successful.

  • Che giova all'uomo non contentarsi di ripeter sempre le stesse operazioni? Già, quelle che sono fondamentali e indispensabili alla vita, deve pur compierle e ripeterle anch'egli quotidianamente, come i bruti, se non vuol morire. Tutte le altre, mutate e rimutate di continuo smaniosamente, è assai difficile non gli si scoprano, presto o tardi, illusioni o vanità, frutto come sono di quel tal superfluo, di cui non si vede su la terra né il fine né la ragione. E chi ha detto al mio amico Simone Pau, che il bruto non sa? Sa quello che gli è necessario e non s'impaccia d'altro, perché il bruto non ha in sé alcun superfluo. L'uomo che l'ha, appunto perché l'ha, si pone il tormento di certi problemi, destinati su la terra a rimanere insolubili. Ed ecco in che consiste la sua superiorità! Forse quel tormento è segno e prova (speriamo, non anche caparra!) di un'altra vita oltre la terrena; ma, stando così le cose su la terra, mi par proprio d'aver ragione quando dico ch'essa è fatta più pe' bruti che per gli uomini.

  • Scusa, e come so io del monte, dell'albero, del mare? Il monte è monte, perché io dico: Quello è un monte. Il che significa: io sono il monte. Che siamo noi? Siamo quello di cui a volta a volta ci accorgiamo. Io sono il monte, io l'albero, io il mare. Io sono anche la stella, che ignora se stessa! Restai sbalordito. Ma per poco. Ho anch'io - inestirpabilmente radicata nel più profondo del mio essere - la stessa malattia dell'amico mio.

An Open Letter to Students: You're the Game Changer in Next-Generation Learning (EDUCAU... - 120 views

  • I'll be blunt here. It's going to be hard for you to be heard as a credible advocate if you don't first lay down the gauntlet. That happens when you own key educational responsibilities and make the demand that if you fulfill these, you expect your claim to your core educational rights to be taken seriously. Simply put, your doing so could change the conversation completely—to one that is more literally and figuratively constructive
  • Knowing your larger purpose enables you to do what comes next.
  • Engagement means literally transforming the way you think and committing yourself to building those skill-sets you don't currently possess.

Inform Yourself: Social Networking and You - 85 views

  • academia is just scratching the surface about the implications of social networking and what exactly it is, what it means, and how it happens
  • scholarly speculation
  • "Has social networking technology (blog-friendly phones, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) made us better or worse off as a society, either from an economic, psychological, or sociological perspective?"
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • "students were using Facebook to increase the size of their social network, and therefore their access to more information and diverse perspectives. "
  • "Powerful new technologies provide great benefits, but they also change the way we live, and not always in ways that everyone likes. An example is the spread of air conditioning, which makes us more comfortable, but those who grew up before its invention speak fondly of a time when everyone sat on the front porch and talked to their neighbors rather than going indoors to stay cool and watch TV. The declining cost of information processing and communication represents a powerful new technology, with social networking as the most recent service to be provided at modest cost. It can be expected to bring pluses and minuses."
  • social networking technologies support and enable a new model of social life, in which people’s social circles will consist of many more, but weaker, ties
  • Social networking technologies provide people with a low cost (in terms of time and effort) way of making and keeping social connections, enabling a social scenario in which people have huge numbers of diverse, but not very close, acquaintances.

Thinking about solar? It's easier to start small | Green Tech - CNET News - 12 views

  • Thinking about solar?
  • Green Ray Solar this week is expected to announce UL certification for a solar panel that puts out alternating current, rather than direct current as most solar photovoltaic panels do today. AC panels can be simpler to install and wire together than traditional panels, which makes a piecemeal approach easier,
  • Traditionally, solar panels are tied into a device called an inverter, which converts the direct current from panels into household alternating current. Strung together, several panels produce enough voltage to run an inverter which, sized for a rooftop array, is roughly as big as a computer monitor.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • A microinverter brings that DC-to-AC function onto each individual panel. Proponents say the technology simplifies installation and improves panel performance.
  • For example, shading on one panel will not affect the output of other panels connected to it, as happens with panels connected to a centralized inverter.
