Some comments on #GoogleClassroom with a full review of what's great, and what may not work so well... It's going to be fantastic...hopefully by September when we start next term! Dan Leighton 13 June 2014
A great collection of 'not quite flipped' videos. Particularly pertinent from the discussion with Ian Guest about video teachers practise. Eddie Woo has started recording his instruction and posting them on Youtube.
"One Laptop Per Child project founder Nicholas Negroponte said that the organization is accelerating its development of the XO-3 tablet computer and will have a working prototype by December 2010, two years ahead of projections. Negroponte said the final product would cost US$75."
The XO-3 OLPC laptop will be released two years ahead of schedule and cost about $75 US. Amazing to see all this techology come together. Tony and I are working with what we can do with the Sugar interface in the classroom.
This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award.
"The Buck Institute for Education commissioned the cutting-edge advertising agency, Common Craft, to create a short animated video that explains in clear language the essential elements of Project Based Learning (PBL).
This simple video makes the essential elements of PBL come alive and brings to light the 21st Century skills and competencies (collaboration, communication, critical thinking) that will enable K-12 students to be college and work-ready as well as effective members of their communities."
