Algunas herramientas útiles para crear webs o blogs educativos.

"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

"I spent much of 2014 on the road, traveling and speaking extensively about education technology's histories, ideologies, and mythologies. The Monsters of Education Technology is a collection of fourteen of those talks on topics ranging from teaching machines to convivial tools, from ed-tech mansplaining to information justice."

Artículo en inglés... "Mobile devices as teaching tools are becoming a more and more common part of the American education experience in classrooms, from preschool through graduate school. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that 58% of U.S. teachers own smartphones - 10 percentage points higher than the national average for adults. Those teachers are building that tech-savviness into their lesson plans, too, by embracing bring-your-own-device policies and leading the push for an iPad for every student. In 2013, an estimated 25% of U.S. schools had BYOD policies in place and it's reasonable to assume those numbers have risen in the past two years. ..."

"En la actualidad, Internet está dejando de ser un sitio donde se consulta información o se intercambian mensajes, para pasar a ser un espacio abierto en el que todos podemos ser partícipes. Esto es lo que ha venido a denominarse Web 2.0 o Web Social. Vinculado a la filosofía de la Web 2.0 surgen las llamadas herramientas 2.0, soluciones tecnológicas que nos van a permitir pasar de ser un mero receptor de información para pasar a ser partícipe de esa información, bien creándola, compartiéndola o mejorándola a través de redes de colaboración.

"A lo largo de este fascículo podrán conocer distintas técnicas para desarrollar una práctica de estudio estratégica y eficaz. Los seres humanos aprenden desde la más temprana infancia de forma natural, pero durante la edad escolar hay algunas asignaturas que se hacen arduas y difíciles de dominar o adquirir. Veremos que con el desarrollo de hábitos adecuados se puede aprender a aprender. La organización del tiempo a través de un plan de trabajo y la práctica de técnicas de lectura comprensiva son dos pasos fundamentales para iniciar este proceso. Existen herramientas eficaces para organizar y planificar el material de estudio: las fichas bibliográficas, los apuntes, el subrayado, el resumen, los esquemas, los cuadros sinópticos y los mapas conceptuales. Ponerse a estudiar es un trabajo difícil si no se encuentra el momento oportuno, el lugar adecuado o la forma eficaz, pero les contaremos cómo pueden organizarse y adquirir un método adecuado en función de sus tiempos y de su vida cotidiana. Desarrollar hábitos como la autodisciplina, la distribución del tiempo y la capacidad de establecer prioridades, más las ganas de aprender, les servirán para mejorar su rendimiento en el estudio y para la vida en general."
