MOOCs: 'dropout' a category mistake, look at 'uptake'? - 5 views

  •  
    "Is it inappropriate to take the word 'dropout' from one context and stamp it upon another? ... Stopping during a MOOC is very different from dropping out school, an expensive long-term degree or a compulsory compliance course." - Donald Clark blogpost

Death of the IWB? | Australian Teacher Magazine - No.1 national education sector public... - 4 views

  • Where, perhaps, when considering how to best set up learning spaces for our students, we once thought it was a choice between a regular whiteboard and an interactive whiteboard, we now have a full array of options to choose from.
  • In our senior school, on the other hand, what a lesson looks like has been more radically shifting. Recently we have been able to flood our senior school with MacBooks and iPads.
  • Students have access to the tools and devices that can empower them to discover things for themselves. They can take charge of their learning, and personalise it in a way that never before has been possible.

  • I was able to get in 55” LCD TVs for around $1300 (ex GST). Adding a trolley for the TV was another $600. A grand total of $1900 meant we still had around $6000 in the bank compared to if we had purchased more IWBs with ultra short throw widescreen projectors.

    "IT'S been over a year now since I removed an interactive whiteboard (IWB) from a classroom wall for the first time. Yes, you read that right: removed. And not to put another one up. In fact, what went in its place was a good old-fashioned non-interactive whiteboard - the same sort we tore down just two years earlier."

What's the "problem" with MOOCs? - 5 views

  •  
    "In case the quotes didn't clue you in, this post doesn't argue against massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as the ones offered by Udacity, Coursera, and edX. I think they are very worthy ventures and will serve to progress our system of higher education. I do however agree with some criticisms of these courses, and that there is room for much more progress."
