Technology in Teacher Education

"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.

The presentation mentions the main cornerstones and flow of m-learning in higher education in detail.

MIT Center for Mobile Learning, in colloboration with the MIT Media Lab encourages teachers and academic faculty to develop their own mobile apps to facilitate in education.

so fantastic, hard to imagine..

They offer more than 300 Harvard classes in several formats online to deliver convenient Harvard lectures to your computer or mobile device. Most of our distance education courses are offered in our 15-week fall or spring semester.

I've been facilitating the extension program since my undergrad years which is beyond useful, to me. We'll also cover some aspects of it in our presentation. Thanks for sharing, İpek!

This site enables one to research his/her online options with our database of more than 1,600 schools by filtering his/her choices by subject, degree level, tuition, and more to find an online school that will fit his/her needs.

The world's educational philosophy has been changed , and now that we can reach all off the sources online with a computer and Internet connection. This database is quite a beneficial source in terms of its vast filter and content.

For the past 3 years, UNESCO has been working to provide advice and guidance to governments and other stakeholders seeking to leverage increasingly ubiquitous and affordable mobile technologies for learning. UNESCO has conducted research in a number of areas, such as mobile reading, mobile learning policies, and promoting gender equality with ICTs. The resulting publications describe the unique educational advantages of mobile technology and articulate strategies to build policy environments in which these advantages can take root and grow.

Here are some recommendations for policy to mainstream OEP by European Foundation for Quality in e-Learning (EFQUEL).

This page provides a register of OER providers in the teacher education area, links to OER search engines, and other aggregate sites, allowing you to find further resources.

Brief introduction to Open Educational Reosurces

It is a good video explaining OERs :)

This article is about opportunities and challenges of open educational resources for higher education. Moreover, some open educational resources examples such as MIT Open Course Ware (http://ocw.mit.edu) are given.

It's quite useful for us to see the pros and cons of OERs in higher education in the very well written paper. Thanks Sibel!

David Wiley's, one of the pioneers in the field of open education, blog is here. You can find many beneficial sources and reflections prepared by him concerning open education.

Here you can find the Turkish version of globally-appreciated Khan Academy. Its Turkish version makes it possible to use in K-12 education and any other educational contexts where medium of instruction is Turkish. Moreover, you can contribute to the translation of the content into Turkish and become a brand ambassador.

UC Berkeley is one click away in your smart phone! You can download numerous course contents prepared by UC Bekeley, and be connected what's happening in Berkeley.

Camtasia gives you the tools you need to record on-screen activity, edit and enhance your content, and share in high-quality to viewers anywhere, and you can facilitate in your open education content creation. It's beyond useful!

I've never come across with AR use with young learners till this video. I have always thought that AR is more suitable for adult learners, but this video showed me how to integrate a complex -hi-tech app into young learner teaching setting. Thanks Melike!

Here are a few frameworks for mobile learning.

The frameworks mentioned in the resource helped me gain a theoretical insight about m-learning. Thanks Seda!

Education and technology are interconnected. This synergy is able to transform the world we live in. The contradictory phenomenon is that while being an early adopter of technology, education is also one of the last sectors to be fully transformed by it, due to institutional inertia and a number of other reasons.

When Facebook bought virtual reality company Oculus in early 2014, virtual reality blew up. While game and movie studios began reimagining the future, others looked back at the "old days" of VR - a loosely remembered period in the 1990s when gloves and goggles were super cool and everyone was going to get high on 3D graphics.

To see the timeline of the virtual reality with its pros and cons was beneficial for us.
