Which is better -- reading in print or on-screen? - 12 views

  • In a review of educational research published by SAGE Journals in July, Singer and University of Maryland professor Patricia Alexander discovered that readers may not comprehend complex or lengthy material as well when they view it digitally as when they read it on paper. While they concluded with a call for more research, the pair wrote, “It is fair to say that reading digitally is part and parcel of living and learning in the 21st century … No matter how complex the question of reading across mediums may be, teachers and students must understand how and when to employ a digital reading device.”
  • In an interview with “Inside Digital Learning,” Singer confirmed, “Digital devices aren’t going anywhere. This no longer is a question of, ‘Will the digital device be in your classroom?’ but ‘What do we know about the digital device, and how can we make this equal to print?’”
  • For example, she said instructors should take the time to show students how to annotate a PDF and make them aware that most people read more quickly on a screen than in print and therefore could lose some comprehension. She also suggested that teachers ask students to answer, in one sentence, what the overall point of the text was every time they read a chapter or an article online.

  • “Sometimes students only need to get the main idea,” Singer said, “and then digital is just as good as print and a lot quicker … But if you want deep comprehension and synthesis of the material, have the students print it out and navigate the material that way. Think about what you want students to get out of a lesson” before assigning a printed or digital reading.
  • Donovan added, “I do agree that we’ve got to figure this out … because it isn’t going away, for sure, for lots of reasons: accessibility, cost, sustainability. We have to figure out how we can support students in comprehending from this format.”
  • But he said he believes “we can still get as much meaning out of digital text. We just haven’t found the right transitions to do what we actually do with a physical book, with digital text … We haven’t found the digital equivalent of interacting with text. We haven’t really trained people to do that.”

Classroom Collaboration Using Social Bookmarking Service Diigo | EDUCAUSE - 26 views

  • disadvantages
  • Building a list of important bookmarks not only is time-consuming, but the list is only available on the individual user's computer. Large collections of bookmarks can quickly become unmanageable and disorganized. Users may not remember why they created a bookmark or what part of the page they were trying to save.1

  • ocial bookmarking has advantages over the traditional schemes, principally because it relies on a web-based system of classification known as folksonomy. Tags are collaboratively created and managed to annotate and categorize web content.

20 Awesome BYOD and Mobile Learning Apps | Edutopia - 106 views

  • For collaborative, simultaneous writing and peer feedback, Google Drive (26)/Docs is still king
  • Students should know how to convert, export, import and move data seamlessly between apps and devices of all kinds. They should also know how to "print to epaper" and how to open and annotate the documents in various readers.

  • You can also link Dropbox (40) with dropitto.me (41) to have students turn work in even if they don't have access to Dropbox.
  • No matter what platform, I want every student to know how to "grab" a screenshot.
  • Not only is this a cyber safety protection skill, it's also great for turning in work from a mobile device when you just can't figure out how to export

Bib 2.0: Before Blogs and Wikis: Three Tools to Enhance Collaboration - 6 views

  • Diigo: Once they start their web-related search, Diigo, an add-on extension for Firefox and Internet Explorer, allows students to highlight text and post sticky-notes directly onto webpages, then share their comments within the group. Others can add their own comments to the note. Selected text is archived to a "my bookmarks" page, along with the comments and a copy of the website. Students can collaborate within the bookmarks site or on the individual websites. Diigo supports RSS feeds, allowing teachers to follow student progress. The more I use this tool, the more I'm convinced it ought to be integral to every research project. It allows students to actively connect with the information they're reading--to question, annotate and infer. All in collaboration with their group. How amazing is that???

Social Bookmarking and Diigo - Student Learning with Diigo - 146 views

      This explains what Diigo does, what the main functions are for the classroom, and that it can be saved in Delicious.  They refer to Delcious as the grandfather of all bookmarking in that it was the first but just bookmarks and collects.  This would allow annotation and collaboration.

      These are the main features I would sue in 371 as well as 368, 362, and 391.

  • Social Bookmarking is simply making bookmarks available to a social network. Rather than storing bookmarks on a local computer, the bookmarks are stored to a social bookmarking website. By default, the bookmarks are available for the network to view.

    Great article that explains the advantages of using Diigo with other educators and students. It also has links to lesson plans and how to videos.

    I found many useful links along with this resource. It clearly points out advantages of using Diigo in education. It also shares how to sync to another popular social bookmarking site. I highly recommend checking this article out.
