    systems and are starting to use that valuable data to change classroom practice and improve student achievement, according to a new report released by the U.S. Department of Education. But school leaders are still searching for the best models to mine the data to discover the best instructional methods for students, the report says. "Data should be part of a feedback loop used to drive improvement at every level of the education system. This study helps us understand the kinds of data that need to be available for teachers and school leaders if they're going to use data to improve their practice," said Carmel Martin, assistant secretary for the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development. In "Use of Education Data at the Local Level: From Accountability to Instructional Improvement," researchers surveyed officials from 529 districts, conducted in-depth site visits to 36 schools in 12 districts leading the way in data usage, and analyzed secondary data from a survey of over 6,000 teachers to obtain a national picture of current data use practices at the local-level.

Money thrown away on marketing - DJ Performing Services in USA - 0 views

  •  
    Importance of knowing your brand Money tends to sift through our hands like sand when it comes to marketing. We try this and we try that, only to see we have wasted more than what we intended to. After evaluating we find most avenues are not beneficial or that many try to just take advantage of our lack of marketing knowledge. Some of the biggest cost in promoting your small business or how one advertises your service as a Pro could be very costly. When thinking on what path one will choose it is important to be well informed of all the options you may have that may be free. Once you have an established brand now the goal would be to create a trusted brand of your company or service. We have seen and read countless of articles and blogs about how many who try to market their business to no avail. There is no turnkey solution, it will take time to promote and establish a good rapport. If one is hasty it could be costly and wasteful with no return on investment ROI.

Advantages of UX Research & Why Startups Are Scared to Invest In The Same - PegaLogics - 0 views

  •  
    UX Research is researching and analyzing the target audience. Comprehending their behavioral habits, knowledge, dealings, and emotion towards your property and the mindset they come with when borrowing the product. According to a current study, India discerns about 50,000 new start-ups per year. An average of 2-3 start-ups is assumed every day, and yet India sees only a 10% success ratio. While one may or may not be familiar with difficulties that direct to that, one thing start-ups can evaluate is the Users' experience. If the user successfully utilizes the product, which improves the users' life, generally, there will be an increase in the pressure for such products, hence earning it highly controversial that the commodity or brand will cease to function. So, if that's the possibility, why do start-ups shy off from UX research? Or, what are the beliefs of UX Research that blur the senses of new entrepreneurs today? And how it results in further destruction than reasonable.

Half an Hour: An Operating System for the Mind - 10 views

  • Let's return to the computer system analogy.
    • Thieme Hennis
       
      Stephen Downes proposes an operating system for the mind: take the analogy of a computer. We do not program each and every program into the computer. The more flexible and programmable computer (Apple, Linux), are far more useful than the pre-programmed ones (Windows). The education system should not try pre-program everything that will be needed by people to be useful or to be able to learn skills they might need, because the knowledge (i) facts change, (ii) there is much more knowledge out there that can be useful and wee need to be able to utilize that too in case we come across new facts, (iii) it is impossible to see what skills might be needed in the future, (iv) you need to be able to filter out irrelevant or false facts, (v) you need to be able to create facts (mechanism for agency). "People need such greater capacities in literacy, learning, prioitizing, evaluation, planning and acting." The analogy of the computer system learns us to think of the brain not as a database full of information, but a place where each person develops methodologies or approaches to deal with reality. Facts are necessary, of course, but the learning paradigm should not be to learn facts, but to learn how to deal with facts. Facts are, IMHO, essential but follow from interest/need combined with a learned methodology or approach to deal with these facts.

DigiTales - The Art of Telling Digital Stories - 0 views

  • If you don’t have a good or powerful story, script, and storyboard, then there will never be enough decorating that technology can do to cover it up. On the other hand, demonstrating exemplar craftsmanship with mixing the technical elements in artful ways to unfold your story creates compelling, insightful, original and memorable pieces of communication. The richness of a good story can be diluted when technical elements are not artfully developed, over used, distracting, or just plain annoying.

Educational Leadership:Literacy 2.0:The World at Our Fingertips - 0 views

  • Teaching students to contribute and collaborate online in ways that are both safe and appropriate requires instruction and modeling, not simply crossing our fingers and hoping for the best when they go home and do it on their own.
  • "Now more than ever, students need teachers who can help them sort through choices, apply technology well, and tell their stories clearly and with humanity."
  • Among our authors' guidelines for promoting the skills crucial to using social media well: Value reading and writing more than ever; Blend digital, art, oral, and written literacies; and Teach students to search, evaluate, summarize, interpret, and think and write clearly.

  • As a result, the way we communicate, read, write, listen, persuade, learn from others, and accomplish community actions is changing. Or, as someone said when we were planning this issue of Educational Leadership, "Literacy—it's not just learning to read a book anymore."
