    A collection of historical primary images and documents (the box) and lesson plans organized so students may develop their own movie on a historical question. The collections speed up the research and pre-production so movie making becomes more viable in the classroom. See Mark Hofer, William & Mary College. and Mary Swan, Oct 26, 2010 presentation about this project. http://www.learncentral.org/node/98346

    Google just released a major new update to Google Earth that now includes the rumored maps of the ocean floor. Google unveiled this update at an event at the California Academy of Sciences. After installing the latest version of Google Earth, you will be able to explore the ocean floor in the same way you browse the Earth's surface. Besides mapping the oceans, however, Google has also added three more interesting new features to Google Earth: easier access to historical imagery, the ability to record and narrate fly-through tours with the new 'touring' feature, and a 3D map of Mars.

    The pace of technological change has challenged historical notions of what counts as knowledge. Dave Cormier describes an alternative to the traditional notion of knowledge as defined by experts who decide what enters the canon and thus what is students should learn. In the place of the expert-centered pedagogical planning and publishing cycle, Cormier suggests a rhizomatic model of learning. In the rhizomatic model, knowledge is negotiated, and the learning experience is a social as well as a personal knowledge creation process with mutable goals and constantly negotiated premises.

  • In a substitution level, teachers or students are only using new technology tools to replace old ones, for instance, using Google Docs to replace Microsoft Word.
  • when students connect to a classroom across the world where they would each write a narrative of the same historical event using the chat and comment section to discuss the differences, and they  use the voice comments to discuss the differences they noticed and then embed this in the class website".

  • At first glance, this evolution might seem to be simply a shift in agency, from publication by a few to collective contribution by many. But in fact, the implications of Web 2.0 go much deeper: the tacit epistemologies that underlie its activities differ dramatically from what I will call here the “Classical” perspective—the historic views of knowledge, expertise, and learning on which formal education is based.
  • In contrast, the Web 2.0 definition of “knowledge” is collective agreement about a description that may combine facts with other dimensions of human experience, such as opinions, values, and spiritual beliefs. As an illustration, the Wikipedia entry on “social effect of evolutionary theory” wrestles with constructing a point of view that most readers would consider reasonable, accurate, and unbiased without derogating religious precepts some might hold. In contrast to articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia articles are either undisputed (tacitly considered accurate) or disputed (still resolving through collective argumentation), and Wikipedia articles cover topics that are not central to academic disciplines or to a wide audience (e.g., the cartoon dog Scooby-Doo).

Blackboard Moodle LMS Achievement 2sigma

shared by J Black on 09 May 09 - Cached
  • Technology has and always will be an integral part of what we do to help our students “become.” But helping someone improve, to become a better, more skilled, more knowledgeable, more confident person is not fundamentally a technology problem. It’s a people problem. Or rather, it’s a people opportunity.
  • The problem with one-to-one instruction is that is simply doesn’t scale. Historically, there simply haven’t been enough tutors to go around if our goal is to educate the masses, to help every learner “become.”
  • Through experimental investigation, Bloom found that “the average student under tutoring was about two standard deviations above the average” of students who studied in a traditional classroom setting with 30 other students

      I agree - for example, blogging within a LMS does not allow this, whereas blogging with a known host (Blogger, WP) does help students to connect with others inside and outside of the learning environment/institution.

      This is a very profound statement that we should closely look at. Do LMS do nothing more than perpetuate the traditional classroom model?
  • here is, at its very core, a problem with the LMS paradigm. The “M” in “LMS” stands for “management.” This is not insignificant. The word heavily implies that the provider of the LMS, the educational institution, is “managing” student learning. Since the dawn of public education and the praiseworthy societal undertaking “educate the masses,” management has become an integral part of the learning. And this is exactly what we have designed and used LMSs to do—to manage the flow of students through traditional, semester-based courses more efficiently than ever before. The LMS has done exactly what we hired it to do: it has reinforced, facilitated, and perpetuated the traditional classroom model, the same model that Bloom found woefully less effective than one-on-one learning.
  • We can extend, expand, enhance, magnify, and amplify the reach and effectiveness of human interaction with technology and communication tools, but the underlying reality is that real people must converse with each other in the process of “becoming.”
  • Because the LMS is primarily a traditional classroom support tool, it is ill-suited to bridge the 2-sigma gap between classroom instruction and personal tutoring.
  • undamentally human endeavor that requires personal interaction and communication, person to person.
  • n the post-LMS world, we need to worry less about “managing” learners and focus more on helping them connect with other like-minded learners both inside and outside of our institutions.
  • We need to foster in them greater personal accountability, responsibility and autonomy in their pursuit of learning in the broader community of learners. We need to use the communication tools available to us today and the tools that will be invented tomorrow to enable anytime, anywhere, any-scale learning conversations between our students and other learners
  • However, instead of that tutor appearing in the form of an individual human being or in the form of a virtual AI tutor, the tutor will be the crowd.
  • The paradigm—not the technology—is the problem.
  • Building a better, more feature-rich LMS won’t close the 2-sigma gap. We need to utilize technology to better connect people, content, and learning communities to facilitate authentic, personal, individualized learning. What are we waiting for?

    In today's digital age, having a reliable email account is essential. With the rise of online services and social media, Gmail has become a go-to choice for many users. Yet, not everyone starts fresh with a brand-new account. Some people are on the hunt for old Gmail accounts that come with established reputations and histories. But why would anyone want to buy an old Gmail account? The reasons can vary from wanting instant credibility in business outreach to accessing older platforms or subscriptions tied to previous emails. However, this practice comes with its own set of advantages and pitfalls that every potential buyer should consider carefully. If you're curious about where to find these accounts and what you need to know before making a purchase, you've landed in the right spot.

They serve as gateways to countless services, from social media platforms to cloud storage solutions. With over 1.5 billion users worldwide, Gmail is not just an email service; it's a digital hub. Having a Gmail account enhances communication efficiency. Its seamless integration with Google Workspace tools like Docs and Drive allows for quick collaboration and file sharing.

A reliable Gmail account ensures you can easily sign up for newsletters, participate in forums, or even manage subscriptions without hassle. Security features are another highlight of Gmail accounts.

    Introduction to Gmail Accounts In today's fast-paced digital landscape, having a reliable email account is non-negotiable. Gmail stands out as one of the most popular platforms for both personal and professional communication. But what if you need an edge? Old Gmail accounts can hold untapped potential in various scenarios-from marketing strategies to securing online registrations. As businesses and individuals navigate this complex online world, the demand for established accounts has surged. Why? Because older accounts come with history, credibility, and sometimes even a treasure trove of contacts or resources. Whether you're looking to boost your outreach or enhance your online presence, understanding where to find these old gems can be invaluable. Let's delve into why there's a growing interest in acquiring old Gmail accounts and how they might just give you that much-needed advantage in your digital endeavors. The Need for Old Gmail Accounts in the Digital Age In today's fast-paced digital landscape, old Gmail accounts serve a unique purpose. Many online platforms favor established accounts that carry historical data and credibility. A vintage account can enhance your online presence significantly. For businesses, having an older Gmail account can inspire trust among customers. An email address with years of activity suggests reliability and stability. This can be vital for forging relationships in e-commerce or service-driven industries. Moreover, seasoned accounts often have fewer spam filters because they've built a rapport with various services over time. This means better deliverability rates for marketing campaigns or important communications. Personal users also benefit from the nostalgia tied to their first email addresses. Old Gmail accounts hold memories and connections that newer ones simply cannot replicate. They represent our digital history, making them valuable assets in both personal and professional realms.
