    Pew Research indicates poor and drop outs trend towards cell phones for information. (No surprise).

    What are instructional design considerations to keep in mind when desiging mobile learning for pay-as-you-go learning populations?  What are accessible m-learning activities for these learners?
  • Robert Conrad on 12 Jul 10
     
    Clearly, designers should strive to create resources that are as easy to access and use on a cell phone platform as they are on a laptop if they hope to reach these populations. Regarding the high school dropouts: I'm inclined to think there is more going on here than just money issues. There might be a perception that cell phones are "cool" while using a laptop is nerdy and bookish.

    This article seems to counter a lot of what we hoped: It indicates that giving computers to students may lead to lower academic performance. Hmmm. We may need to look at the methodology behind this study.
  • Jose Medrano on 18 Aug 10
     
    I agree with you Sonya. I also think that the article does not state how students are expected to use the computers. Are teachers being trained? I think more variables are needed to support the claim that technology is not "making a dent" in education. It's like giving a kid a baseball bat and expect him to hit a homerun. The kid needs coaching, preferably from someone who knows what they are talking about!

    One teacher's experience using Facebook and Twitter in the classroom.
  • Robert Conrad on 08 Jul 10
     
    Great ideas for Facebook and Twitter. However, these two resources are on a lengthy list of things blocked and banned by my district. A continual frustration for me as a teacher is how often decisions are made based on fear, not on policy. The district isn't afraid of the resource, they are afraid of the parent phone call.

    Fascinating example of using whiteboard graphics to animate or illustrate main points of a short lecture.  How is this strategy MORE effective than other graphic strategies?

    I really enjoyed this graphic presentation as the artist was clever and skilled. I could see exactly how it was produced. Hmmm....
  • Robert Conrad on 14 Jun 10
     
    Cathy, this video is fascinating both for its content and its technique. Is this instructor such a great artist, or does he collaborate with an artist, sound editor, etc. to produce these videos? The topic reminded me of conversations I've had with friends who live in Spain. They tell me Americans are always too busy and that in Spain if you are late for an appointment no one criticizes you. They assume you had an important visit with someone along the way.
  • Cathy Arreguin on 23 Jun 10
     
    Regarding content: Yes, interesting thoughts on the implications of culture! As an instructional designer, I begin to consider how one might design instruction for various cultural groups (In fact, that is covered in the non-COMET version of 572.) Regarding graphics: I don't know if the narrator and artist are one person. For more on the concept of instructive doodles, look for the book "The Back of the Napkin". The premise is that anyone can develop enough skill to illustrate ideas!

    I liked this article, yet it is frustrating because these are all the obvious reasons are education system is so bad in the US, yet the chances of them being fixed ANYTIMe soon are slim.

    3 minute presentation on the vast amount of information we are producing.  GOOD ideas for slideshows. Note the clear graphics and helpful transitions.  Many of the effects used could easily be done in PPT or Keynote.  View for inspiration!

    This is a youth publishing site that provides young writers and illustrators with an online method for sharing their work with others. LaunchPad is different from other publishing sites in that submissions are accepted free of charge, which also means there is no physical book produced. There is also an editorial team that reviews each submission and only accepts those they deem worthy. The submission process is very easy, consisting of filling out a handful of informational boxes and uploading the doc or image file. Students are required to provide a parent's email address as a security method. This is a great site to share with your students, especially for those interested in writing!

    Converge is a website that gives you strategies for using technology in the K-12 setting. Some highlights from the site cover; digital teaching and professional development, mobile learning and security, campus technology infrastructure to classroom technology uses. One article that caught my interest is "School Districts Integrate Technology into Core-based Curriculum." The article discusses school districts that are working to meet their learning goals with technology with the learning driving the technology instead of the other way around. All of the articles seem to cover successful practical uses of technology in the classroom which are ideas I am always looking for.

    I asked undergraduate students in my two classes, "This Is Your Brain on the Internet" and "Twenty-First Century Literacies" to come up with a list of skills they had mastered in my peer-driven, peer-assessed, peer-led classes they had not gained elsewhere.  We might call these skills "digital literacies."

Looks like there are plenty of new ways to create online presentations and track users. This is similar to brainshark. Don't know if there are any comparitive benefits of one over the other yet.

    According to Google, this resource is so easy to use that kids can create their own Apps, though limited to Google's Android OS. Google borrowed some code from a teacher education program at MIT as their building blocks. They hope young people (and teachers) will be inspired to become serious App creators. Critics say it will only add to the hundreds of low-quality, useless Apps that are already out there. What do you think?

    I'm not sure if CLRN is living up to its potential, but this website has links to many electronic resources, electronic textbooks, media reviews, and other information for educators. It is worth checking out!

    Kelly, this looks very interesting. There are a few resources in the Visual and Performing Arts section that I think I could use. I'm still not clear on whether this is a free or pay-as-you go resource but I am going to sign up for their "trial account".

    This blog is done by a friend of mine. He has some great ideas for integrating technology in the classroom, and most of his entries are "good" reads. I have had the privilege to work on projects with him and this is where he highlights his ideas. Enjoy!
