"How Our Brains Stop Us From Achieving Our Goals (and How to Fight Back)" This is a great explanation of how the brain works. These examples are not related to education, but we can easily reflect upon how what we do in the classroom could have negative effects on students. There are also suggestions about how you can make mental changes to ensure success.

A good article in light of the furore around Justine Sacco. Tarun Wadhwa makes an interesting point that what would have happened if Joanne had in fact been hacked. Also makes the comparison with the Boston Bombing fiasco involving the use of social media.

From @coolcatteacher "Is Game-Based Learning the Same as Gamification? Not exactly. Gamification is "applying typical elements of game playing (e.g., point scoring, competition with others, rules of play) to other areas of activity." Great classrooms often use both. Every day in my classroom, I'm using the essentials: gamification elements, reward systems, and game-based learning. I've already covered 5 Ways to Design Effective Rewards for Game-Based Learning. Let's learn how to pick the games."

Diigo Versus Pinterest: The Student Perspective :: Agile Learning - 5 views

diigo pinterest social bookmarking

shared by John Pearce on 01 Jun 12 - No Cached

John Pearce on 01 Jun 12

Last month, I blogged about the choice I gave my statistics students between using Diigo and Pinterest for the social bookmarking assignments in the course. I floated two possible reasons why most of my students selected Diigo over Pinterest: Hypothesis 1: Students choosing Diigo over Pinterest selected the service that seemed more academic. Hypothesis 2: Pinterest has the reputation for being a site mainly for women. Most of my engineering students are men, so they opted for the less gendered option, Diigo. Hypotheses are all well and good, but I wanted some evidence, so I asked my students on their end-of-semester survey why they selected the platform they did. Of my 71 students, 45 responded to this question.

Short videos from YouTube and other sources can be quite helpful in introducing topics to students and or reinforcing concepts that you have taught. Watching the video can be enough for some students, it's better if we can call students' attention to specific sections of videos while they are watching them. The following tools allow you to add comments and questions to videos that you share with your students.

"Why do I need to reinvent my PLN?" | Learning in Technicolor - 1 views

PLN Personalised Learning Environment Learning Teaching with technology social media Twitter

shared by Aaron Davis on 02 Mar 15 - No Cached

I don’t want new users to be deluded into thinking their PLN will a) grow quickly and effectively and require little effort to get started b) last forever exactly as is and c) offer the same quality of resources and support day in and day out. It’s not going to happen. If your engagement with your PLN is exactly the same as it was three years ago- if your relationships with those in your network haven’t evolved or the platforms you use haven’t caused you to reconsider how you contribute and when – then kudos to you, you don’t need to reinvent your PLN.
