Is It Gamification, Or Game Based Learning? » Brain Based Learning - 37 views

  •  
    These two terms get thrown around a lot, often interchangeably, but they're not really the same. They're both important concepts, and they're both useful. However, they are useful in different contexts and that's why I think it's important to define each one.

Return to Sender -- THE Journal - 60 views

  • The upshot of this neglect, the report goes on to say, is to leave students unsuited for a work environment in which knowing core subject content can be secondary to being able to use technology to demonstrate the so- called 21st century skills that employers now demand:
  • increasingly value people who can use their knowledge to communicate, collaborate, analyze, create, innovate, and solve problems."
  • it's also about turning information into knowledge through Web searching and vetting. It's about developing effective multimedia presentations. It's about seamlessly using digital tools to collaborate and problem-solve.
