Creating Learning Environments | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Instant knowledge has changed how everyone learns because the questions we need to have answered are just a few clicks away.
  • When the micro computer came into vogue in schools, doomsday prophets predicted the demise of the public school teacher. Now we have so much more technology in schools and student's pockets, and we still have teachers. What then, will be the role of the teacher when each student can look up every answer on their wrist phone, or with their eyeglasses? The teacher's role will be to motivate; the teacher can provide the answer to the question, "Why do I need to know this?"
  • How do you create learning environments that motivate students to learn?

  • Access to the Internet connects kids to all kinds of information — and for low-income students especially, that access has the power to change their social structure by allowing them to become empowered and engaged, said Michael Mills,
  • The Internet is about empowerment. If we take away this access because we think certain people aren’t going to use it right, we’re no better than governments who take away voting rights from minorities.”

  • El pasado es omnipresente, no necesita manifestarse. Todo lo que nos rodea, cosas, sitios, personas tienen un pasado. Aprender a analizarlo, a comprenderlo e investigarlo nos permite afirmar nuestra identidad o sentir la necesidad de modificarla. El estudio de la Historia proporciona el acceso a conocimientos y la posibilidad de cuestionarlos.

      Es complicado lograr este vínculo entre el estudiante de historia y la Historia. Aun cuando se intente ir del presente hacia el pasado, este vaivén es difícil para el profesor y alumno.
  • Entender que la Historia no es un objeto científico sino cultural es el primer paso que un alumno debe dar para dejar de percibir a la disciplina como algo ajeno a su realidad. Las preguntas que el pasado despierta en cada individuo pueden ser personales, pero los pasados comunes generan preguntas comunes. Recuperar esta interacción entre la Historia y la persona es quizás una de las tareas más difíciles en un colegio.

  • Para comprender por qué la cultura y la organización de la sociedad es como es en el presente, es necesario conocer y comprender su pasado. La Historia estudia el pasado. Pero para comprender el pasado no alcanza con conocer los hechos que sucedieron, los personajes que los protagonizaron y las fechas en que ocurrieron.

      This article is incredibly useful because it provides straight-forward evidence on the benefits of technology in the classroom. So, it is great motivator for teachers trying to become more digitally literate! Additionally, it can be used to convince administrators to implement technology in schools more consistently.

shared by Giovanna Zorrilla on 09 Jan 14 - No Cached
  • You still need to plan the objectives of the lesson, but you can leave the activity unplanned. Start the lesson with a discussion  about the goals and objectives you want students to be working towards that day. Then, see where the conversation leads you!
  • Allow students to share their creativity by working on open-ended and mostly unstructured work. This can really help to target different learning types, as each student can choose what works best for them. Some may work in small groups, while others choose to work alone. At the end, each student or group should share their creation with the class. This makes for interesting presentations as the class is treated to a variety of skits, stories, newscast videos, or informational posters. The sky (and student imagination) should be the limit!

  • Technology fluency transcends devices, apps and programs. It implies that a student can quickly, accurately and deliberately communicate, collaborate and create across platforms. In Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat, he made it abundantly clear that we are currently preparing students for jobs that do not yet exist. If we think about it, they will also need to employ technology that has not yet been created. By supporting the development of students' technology fluency, we are preparing them to become digital learners who are able to construct new tools and objects, communicate ideas and solve new problems.
