Using Twitter in the classroom - my firsthand experience - Mr Kemp - 0 views

  •  
    "As an educator who is addicted to Twitter I have always read about students getting introduced to Twitter and wondered how it would work. After reading and reading I have finally decided to give it a go. Here is my introduction to Twitter in my classroom. Last Tuesday, the day started like any other. Roll call, discussion, introduction to an activity and a bit of a laugh with my Year 7 and 8 Technology class. We had been discussing the importance of being an active online user and being a positive digital citizen (the students are preparing some presentations for Year 2-3 children later in the term). The conversation moved into learning environments and we discussed the small and "un-student friendly" (their words) environment that they were currently sitting in. "Take the teachable moment and run with it" my inner, energetic teacher yelled from my shoulder. So there we were talking about the "Ultimate Learning Environment", when one of my students asked me "Why is social media so big?". Good question I thought, why is it 'so big'. So we unpacked that question and broke it down. We talked about Social Media and what it was and how it worked, they gave me excellent examples and we tied it back into our discussion about digital citizenship. From this point, as a class, we decided we would use social media to help us with our learning. The students had no idea how it could work. I suggested twitter and how I use it. We pulled up my profile and saw how it worked (discussion only). The decision was then made -> Let's ask the twitterverse to help us!! On rolled Monday 5th May and in our first class (I see this group twice a week) we decided that tomorrow would be the day, we would ask twitter for their advice on "What makes a GREAT learningenvironment?". The students already have some fantastic ideas and a plan of where they want to see their environment heading but they needed some depth to their plan and some other opinions outside of

The Barriers To Using Social Media In Education (Part 1 of 2) - Edudemic - 0 views

  • n this article, we have analysed the impact of Social Media on the education sector while also empathizing with educators on their resistance to the use of it in the classroom
  • Social Media As A Key Driver of Communication
  • Let’s open up our vision from seeing social media as just another distraction to seeing it as an opportunity to build a more meaningful education system for teachers and students.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • Why Resistance?
  • Many of us might believe that social media is a place where students impulsively reveal their private lives for the world to see. It’s not true
  • Recent survey done by Facebook reveals that the new youth is deliberate about what they post. Any impression they leave on their social network is deliberate.
  • If educators don’t pay respect to the new ways of expression of youth, they will remain defensive and less likely engaging with their teachers on social media.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.
  • Educators must show teens a level of respect as they create their space online to express themselves as individual
  • Privacy
  • According to a 2013 Pew Research Center study, teens are taking steps to protect their privacy.
  • Students are cognizant of their online reputations, and take steps to curate the content and appearance of their social media presence.
  • Critical Thinking
  • Power of Reasoning
  • The future of education is in helping children experience curiosity, wonder, and joy through playful learning.
  • A New Generation of Communicators
  • The students of today are big communicators through emails, social media and instant messaging
  • They are more connected to the outside world than how much we were at their age
  • Social Media has bridged the gap between students and the highest quality study material they need for learning
  • Shifting Role of Educators
  • A modern school needs to be a lot more than brick and mortar of studies

3 Reasons Your Students Should Be Blogging - Instructional Tech Talk - 0 views

  •  
    "1. Blogging enables reflection. This is true for both students and educators. Too often do we go through our days, class to class, with minimal opportunities for reflection on our experiences or the information that we have acquired along the way. Blogging offers the opportunity to take a step back and connect with our learning and place it in the context of the bigger picture. Make reflection an assignment or part of another assignment - it is an important component to learning. For students: This is not the easiest thing to accomplish - blogging takes time and that is a finite resource during a busy class period. There is great opportunity in academic support periods or advisory classes for students (particularly in 1:1 schools) to blog. Many advisory classes take place throughout the day, which is a great break point for students to create based on their learning from that day. For teachers: This type of reflection can and should be compiled into your lesson planning for future lessons. Take what you learned from teaching and learning that day and incorporate it into the next day's lessons. Find time to do this during a conference period during your day or right after school. Yes, it is tough to get in the habit of doing a new thing - but once you start using reflection through blogging, I think that your lesson planning will be easier and much more meaningful. 2. Develop an Authentic Audience An authentic audience is a great way to increase rigor and in all of my experiences has led to increased performance by students. Authentic audiences in blogging could mean any number of things - family members, students from other classes, students from other buildings, other teachers, individuals interested in the content from around the world, etc. A student knowing that their work may be seen by people other than what they consider their 'typical audience' (read: teacher) typically spends more time and exerts more effort to creating a quality p

15 Common Mistakes Teachers Make Teaching With Technology - 0 views

  •  
    "1. The teacher is choosing the technology. It's not always possible, but when you can, let the students choose, and see what happens. Not all of them will be able to. Some need help; so let other students help them. 2. The teacher is choosing the function. This doesn't mean you can't choose the function, but if you students can't control the technology the use nor its function, this can be problematic: the learning is passive from the beginning. 3. The teacher is determining the process. To an extent you have to, but don't overdo it. 4. The technology is distracting. If the technology is more magical than the project, product, collaboration, process, or content itself, try to muffle the bells and whistles. Or use them to your advantage. 5. The technology isn't necessary. You wouldn't use a ruler to teach expository writing, nor would you use a Wendell Berry essay to teach about the Water Cycle. No need for a Khan Academy account and a fully-personalized and potentially self-directed proficiency chart of mathematical concepts just to show a 3 minute video on the number line. 6. The process is too complex. Keep it simple. Fewer moving parts = greater precision. And less to go wrong. 7. Students have access to too much. What materials, models, peer groups, or related content do students actually need? See #6. 8. The teacher is the judge, jury, and executioner. Get out of the way. You're (probably) less interesting than the content, experts, and communities (if you're doing it right). 9. They artificially limiting the scale. Technology connects everything to everything. Use this to the advantage of the students! 10. They're not limiting the scale. However, giving students the keys to the universe with no framework, plan, boundaries or even vague goals is equally problematic. 11. Students access is limited to too little. The opposite of too board a scale is too little-akin to taking students to the ocean to fish but squaring of

Ventajas del aprendizaje basado en juegos o Game-Based Learning (GBL) | aulaPlaneta - 0 views

  •  
    "El aprendizaje basado en juegos o Game-Based Learning (GBL) consiste en la utilización de juegos como vehículos y herramientas de apoyo al aprendizaje, la asimilación o la evaluación de conocimientos. Se trata de una metodología innovadora que ofrece tanto a los alumnos como a los profesores una experiencia educativa diferente y práctica que se puede aplicar a una materia o tema o integrar varias asignaturas. Si se opta por los juegos educativos digitales y el uso de las TIC, el GBL supone una aproximación muy completa que además trabaja la alfabetización digital. Te explicamos las principales ventajas de este método de aprendizaje para que te animes a probarlo el próximo curso. OCHO VENTAJAS DEL GAME-BASED LEARNING (GBL) 1. Motiva al alumno. Una de las principales ventajas del GBL es su capacidad para captar la atención de los alumnos, ya que les proporciona un entorno que les gusta, les divierte y les resulta muy motivador. El juego dinamiza la clase, despierta el interés previamente y lo mantiene durante todo el desarrollo, no solo por la victoria final sino también por la propia práctica lúdica. 2. Ayuda a razonar y ser autónomo. El juego plantea al alumno situaciones en las que debe reflexionar y tomar las decisiones adecuadas, solventar fallos y reponerse de las derrotas. Con este método de aprendizaje no solo estará asimilando conceptos de la asignatura o del tema en el que se centre el juego, sino que además estará desarrollando capacidades cognitivas a través del pensamiento crítico, el análisis de la realidad y la resolución de problemas. 3. Permite el aprendizaje activo. El aprendizaje GBL da la posibilidad de ejercitar los conocimientos de manera práctica. Al aprender haciendo el alumno experimenta, practica la prueba-error, establece relaciones entre conocimientos previos y nuevos y toma decisiones para mejorar. 4. Da al alumno el control de su aprendizaje. Mediante el juego el niño o adolescente logra un fe

What's Wrong With Latin American Early Education - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Back in the 1980s, a group of social workers in Jamaica visited low-income homes one hour a week for two years, bearing age-appropriate toys for the kids and advice on child rearing for the parents. Researchers tracked the outcomes, and a generation later, the results are in. The children whose homes were visited by social workers became adults who earn wages that are 25 percent higher than those earned by peers who had not been visited. Their I.Q.s are an average seven points higher, and they are less likely to resort to crime or suffer from depression. Other studies, including several recent ones in the United States, have shown similar results, contributing to a consensus on the importance of early childhood development that has led governments around the world to increase spending on the first five years of life. In Latin America and the Caribbean, a region of longstanding social and economic inequality, several countries have been especially ambitious. Brazil and Chile doubled the coverage of day care services over the past decade, while in Ecuador they grew sixfold. These investments build on historic gains in child nutrition and health. But while Latin American children are now healthier and more likely to attend preschool, they still lag far behind in learning, particularly in the areas of language and cognition, when compared with their counterparts in wealthy countries. What are we doing wrong? ..."

    Social media is fast becoming as ubiquitous as the air we breathe. In recent months, many schools and districts around the country have taken steps to create social media policies and guidelines for their students and staff. In my work with several districts to draft these documents, I have seen many approaches that work well, and some that don't.

Let's fill up the pages below with great ideas! Share the ways you currently implement Twitter in your teaching and learning: Students in my course New Information Technologies do an "Internet Censorship" project, focused on a specific country. I ask them to follow a journalist who tweets on that country as part of their research to understand the state of Internet freedom in the country they select. -- Lora Since shortly after Twitter was launched, I've experimented with various iterations of "The Twitter Essay," an assignment that has students considering the nature of the "essay" as a medium and how they might do that work within the space of 140 characters. -- Jesse (@Jessifer) In my fully online classes, I've started using Twitter to replace the discussion forum as the central location for student interaction. -- Jesse (@Jessifer) Show Tweets that have gotten people arrested and prompt discussion on whether it is fair that anyone be arrested for any Tweet in the US, who is likely to be arrested for their Tweets, what kinds of Tweets are likely to prompt arrest, etc. Students in my First Year Seminar course "The Irish Imagination: Yeats to Bono" developed a platform for digital annotation of Irish literature. Embedded in their platform was a twitter feed of relevant individuals/groups, makin

La escuela en tiempos de redes: documento por una educación conectada. | Blog... - 5 views

  • De lo que estamos hablando es de un aprendizaje centrado en los alumnos, personalizado pero colectivo, y donde el profesor, con roles diversos y cambiantes, debe desempeñar un papel crítico. De lo que estamos hablando es de repensar el cómo, el dónde, el qué y de quién aprendemos. Hablamos de una actividad sujeta a valores, situada, local y fuertemente influida por los contextos donde se desarrolla. Hablamos de un aprendizaje caracterizado por la conexión entre personas que aprenden juntas. Hablamos de aprender de otros y con otros, de un aprendizaje impulsado por el interés personal, académicamente orientado y soportado cada vez más entre pares. Una actividad que no debe perder nunca de vista su alto impacto social y por tanto no debe dejar nunca de salvaguardar los valores primordiales de la equidad, la accesibilidad y la responsabilidad social.
  • La transformación digital no ha hecho más que amplificar nuestro carácter social. Ser más digitales significa ser más sociales. La tecnología nos humaniza y aplicada al ámbito de la educación sitúa en el lugar central del proceso a las personas.

Transmedialiteracy Teacher's Kit - 0 views

  •  
    The aim of the Transmedia Literacy project is to understand how the young boys and girls are learning skills outside the school. The construction of those cultural competencies and social skills will be at the centre of the research. Once the informal learning strategies and practices applied by young people outside the formal institutions are identified, the team will 'translate' them into a series of activities and proposals to be implemented inside school settings. The Transmedia Literacy Project will also produce a Teacher's Kit that will be designed to facilitate the integration of transliteracies in the classroom.
