The Internet in Turkey is 20 years old now. - 2 views

  •  
    The internet was used in METU labs for the first time in 12 April 1993. For the first time, the very first web sites such as CNN and BCC were tried to be accessed. Later, respectively, Ege, Bilkent, Boğaziçi, and İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi followed METU. The rest of the story is written in this piece of paper.

$249 'Babel Fish' earphones translate foreign languages in real-time - 4 views

  •  
    You probably came across the famous quote by Dr. Ray Clifford saying "Technology will not replace teachers, but teachers who do not use technology will be replaced." Well, that might change sooner than we had anticipated. Some companies have been working very hard for several years to manufacture real-time translation devices like the one mentioned in the article attached. Although most of the attempts are too immature to be taken seriously, I think we will have devices in the next decade that are able to translate satisfactorily across languages. Whether this will have a tangible impact on language teaching professionals is yet to be seen.

Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler's SITE keynote - 4 views

  •  
    I have watched the speech today and it was very inspiring for two reasons; Firstly I feel ashamed for the presentations I have made in conferences and lessons. It was one of the most enjoyable and attractive presentations I've ever seen. It was a perfect example for the effective use of presentation technology and pedagogy to explain a concept. Secondly, it is a brief introduction to the TPACK concept. For my field, science education, I think it is particularly important because in science there are a variety of different topic and concepts which are not so easy to understand and visualize most of the times. Moreover, in science education hands-on activities and student-centered acitivities where students take the active role to learn "by doing " are especially important and effective. However, most of the time it is difficult to find appropriate materials and resources for conducting such activities. With an effective use of technology integrated into the classrooms, a teacher might find a way to make his/her students engage in different activities. In addition, there are some topics like solar systems which are diffferent to make observations and conduct experiments within the classroom. On the other hand, with animations, simulations, computer games, projects and so on the teacher might find a way for his/her students to experience activities related to solar system.

    Reagrding the differences between traditional and digital technologies: --Virtually all the traditional technologies share three characteristics: specificity, stability, and transparency (see  Figure 3). traditional classroom technologies have specific uses, are relatively stable over time, and are transparent or easy to understand.  The truth of Koehler & Mishra's (2009) statement that ―digital technologies-such as  computers, handheld devices, and software applications-by contrast, are protean (usable  in many different ways . . .); unstable (rapidly changing); and opaque (the inner workings  are hidden from users)‖ is demonstrated daily in preservice and inservice teacher  development programs where teachers struggle to understand how to use a range of digital technologies and why they should

Flipped Classroom Model - 2 views

    Here is a very short but informative video to explain the logic of flipped classroom
  •  
    I also liked it. This video briefly explaining an example of flipped classroom clearly. So, I think it can be useful of understanding its meaning. At the end of the video there are comments of teachers. One says that: This is nice and all, but all it takes for this to completely fail (I've tried it) is several students who simply don't want to work say "I don't have a computer" or "I work until three in the morning." Some legitimately don't (not sure how you get around that) and some are simply lazy (don't think so? I did a lecture where students were given a sheet of paper which had sentences with missing words that I would GIVE them, and one student would not even do that). Other says that: They have smart phones, don't they? If they had time for homework outside of class, why wouldn't they have time for videos instead?... So they are really discussing the flipped classroom in practice..

How to Deliver Performance Feedback Using Avatars - 0 views

  •  
    "Delivering Performance Feedback to Teachers" is an interactive and conversation-based training simulation that lets principals practice giving feedback to virtual teacher (avatars). I think the game is beyond helpful due to the fact as school leaders, it's hard to give a neutral feedback to the teachers from time to time, which may deter the leaders from giving it at all.

10 Pros And Cons Of A Flipped Classroom - 5 views

  •  
    In the article, you can find beneficial explanation of advantages and limitations of flipped classrooms.
  •  
    Thank you for this informative and easy-to-read article Ezgi. I agree with most of what the writer argues; however, the 2nd con about "trusting" the student made me feel a bit unease because as teachers and also human beings we have to trust others at least to a certain degree and I believe that teachers are a bit way too sceptical as to their students' credibility. I get the reasons behind this and totally agree yet still argue that we shouldn't count "trusting the student" as a con for flipped classrooms. After all, in a traditional school, the teacher still counts on the student when she sees a completed homework which might have been done by the student's father.
  •  
    Thanks for your sharing Ezgi, I really like it :) In my opinion, 5th con is valuable to discuss because there are so many studies in the literature indicating that screen time has been considered as a main issue for physical inactivity among children and adolescences. Almost all parents complain about their children's long time usage of technological devices. Therefore, while planning a flipped classroom, this subject must be considered seriously.

Interesting research and very timely! An important part of TPACK is knowing when to use which technology. So selection of technology becomes critical.

The Best School in the World, Finnish School exhibition at CerModern, Ankara - 8 views

  •  
    My students from last semester shared with me recently. This exhibition at CerModen gives some demonstrations and information about Finnish schools and the learning and teaching environments created within those schools. Finnish educational system has been quite popular around the world because of the students' success in international PISA scores. Please consider visiting this exhibit. Perhaps we can initiate a conversation here and I think Matti's insights would be valuable.

    I think visiting the exhibition will be useful to understand Finnish perspective on education and how and why they are successful. Also there is a seminar about this topic, I wish I could attend the seminar but I have to attend my serious games and simulation course.
  •  
    I think that the most important fact in the backround of the succes in Pisa is the equality on education in Finland. Together with expertice of Finnish teachers and effective teacher education they have grounded the PISA succes. If you have interest to familiarize you to the Finnish core curriculum, you 'll find the english version of the document here: http://www.oph.fi/english/sources_of_information/core_curricula_and_qualification_requirements/basic_education We have started the process to renew our curricula: some information about this: http://www.oph.fi/english/102/0/ops2016_renewal_of_the_core_curriculum_for_pre-primary_and_basic_education
  •  
    I think Finnish education system, which ranks in top 5 in PISA 2009, deserves to be examined in more detail. In that sense, Matti, would you mind if I asked you a couple of questions about Finish Educational System? :) As far as I understood, the core curriculum in Finland is determined by the government (please correct if I am wrong). Are there any institutions or schools that design their own curricula, or do all educational institutions have to follow the core curriculum developed by the government? In addition, who are responsible for the books that are used in schools? Are they also provided by the government or does the government buy them from private companies? And lastly, what about technology? How technology is used in Finnish schools? Who provides resources? Do teachers go through any educational process for technology integration in classrooms? If it is more convenient to answer, I would be glad if you provided me links or resources that I can find answers, thank you in advance, PISA 2009 Scores: http://www.oecd.org/pisa/46643496.pdf

    I "ll willingly answer your questions: "The national core curriculum is determined by the Finnish National Board of Education. It includes the objectives and core contents of different subjects, as well as the principles of pupil assessment, special-needs education, pupil welfare and educational guidance. The principles of a good learning environment, working approaches as well as the concept of learning are also addressed in the core curriculum. The present national core curriculum for basic education was confirmed in January 2004 and it was introduced in schools in August 2006. The education providers, usually the local education authorities and the schools themselves draw up their own curricula for pre-primary and basic education within the framework of the national core curriculum. These curricula may be prepared for individual municipalities or institutions or include both sections." That means, that every municipalities and public schools, as well as private schools have to make their own curricula. In these curricula they can more detailed to determine´the aims and contents of their own. Local characteristics and emphasis are so possible, but any contradictions with the national core curriculum are possible. Still, the level of the national core curriculum is partly quite common, and the requirements can be fullfilled in many alternative ways. You'll find this information in briefly in: http://www.oph.fi/english/sources_of_information/core_curricula_and_qualification_requirements The books used in our schools are published by the private companies, for example WSOY, OTAVA and SANOMA PRO. http://www.wsoy.fi/etusivu http://www.otava.fi/oppimateriaalit/ http://ratkaisut.sanomapro.fi/web/guest/briefly-in-english For example, SANOMA PRO "offers one of the largest Virtual Learning Environments for K-12 learning to schools and students. This service is called OPIT, and it was launched in 2002. At the moment there are over 170.000 active users. The success of

    Thank you for those valuable information. In Turkey, our curricula and books have been being revised by Turkish Ministry of Education in line with constructivist perpectives. Additionally, the government has decided to produce "enriched books" which are electronic versions of traditional books including multimedia materials to introduce educational technology to the new education system. Still, who will produce the books are under discussion. That's why I decided to examine different education systems in the world to have an idea about successful decisions and implementations. As far as I understand, books are prepared by private companies in Finland. I will check the links that you provided about book companies for having more detailed insight. Still, would you please tell me what happens if the curricula prepared by local authorities contradict the principles and objectives of national core curriculum? Do local authorities still have right to implement them?
  •  
    I think the situation you presented is not possible becouse of the process of planning and executing the local curriculum. The teachers, school principals and local authorities in Finland are very engaged in the national core curriculum. Further, there exists space for adjustments, emphases and interpretation inside the national guidelines.
  •  
    Ok thanks, it is not surprising to rank in 5 if you arrange your system according to the needs of your students and provide high quality teachers.

    If we are going to talk about community of practice, ıt is a good time to meet with E. Wenger
  •  
    That is true. in my last year when I was undergraduate student I somehow met E. Wenger, not himself but his influential studies. He is a professional in community of practice. I advise those who are interested in community of practice to visit Wenger's web site because there are a large body of resources about community of practice ranging from audio-based to text-based. I have also intention to read Wenger's works and studies.

Fatih Projesi'ne 12 okul daha geçti - Sabah - 22 Şubat 2013 - 0 views

  •  
    Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı'nın Fatih Projesi kapsamında, 4 ilde tablet bilgisayar dağıtıldı. Tekirdağ Belediyesi Anadolu Öğretmen Lisesi'ndeki tablet dağıtım törenine katılan Tekirdağ Valisi Ali Yerlikaya, Fatih Projesi kapsamında 3 pilot okulda 734 öğrenciye tablet bilgisayar dağıtıldığını belirtti. Vali Yerlikaya, okullardaki 136 öğretmene de tablet bilgisayar verildiğini ifade ederek, Türkiye'nin teknolojisiyle adından söz ettirdiğini söyledi.

    They are contnuing to distribute tablets like they achieved great success during the pilot study. Just giving tablets to the students is not an integration of technology in education.
  •  
    let's look at another perspective. there are millions of students scattered all around of Turkey. Probably most of them especially in rural areas haven't heard the name of tablet PC and what it looks like. With the help of Fatih project students at least will take an opportunity to meet with Tablet PC, to interact with it, to play with it, and even to damage it. this is the way of exploring any devices or the world. the integration may take a long time because every system like educational one tend to resist major changes.

    the survey results about fatih project demonstrate that the project is not successful as expected http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalGaleriHaber&ArticleID=1123151&CategoryID=77&HaberPage=1. I think there is need for deep understanding what's going on in the classes and more training for teachers in order to use all these technologies effectively.
  •  
    Tuğba, I would be interested in reading a broader study that looks at Fatih Project from different perspectives of designers, students, administrators, teachers, parents etc. Any educational innovation needs to look at the implication from the holistic perceptive. Therefore, a larger scope qualitative study would really help.

What is Flipped classroom - 2 views

  •  
    The flipped classroom describes a reversal of traditional teaching where students gain first exposure to new material outside of class, usually via reading or lecture videos, and then class time is used to do the harder work of assimilating that knowledge through strategies such as problem-solving, discussion or debates.
