Networking o el reto del docente que nunca come solo - 0 views

  •  
    "Networking y educación. Educación y networking. Tan lejos, tan cerca. El artículo de hoy tiene como finalidad enseñarte en qué consiste el networking y cómo puedes utilizarlo en tu trabajo como docente y en tu vida para conseguir tus metas, para alcanzar tus sueños. Tengo que reconocer que esta entrada no hubiera sido posible sin la lectura del bestseller Nunca comas solo de Keith Ferrazzi y Tahl Raz, un libro tremendamente práctico en el que he aprendido algo fundamental: las relaciones entre las personas se construyen desde la generosidad y esta generosidad es la que te permite convertir tus metas y tus sueños en una realidad. ¿Quieres saber qué es el networking? ¿Te atreves a no comer solo nunca más? ¿Estás dispuesto a, de una vez por todas, ver cumplidas tus metas? Si es así, ponte cómodo porque zarpamos… Networking Imagen extraída de Shutterstock ¿Qué es el networking? El networking es un término que ha adquirido mucha relevancia de un tiempo a esta parte. Se podría traducir el networking como el trabajo de tu red de contactos, es decir, conocer y cultivar relaciones personales para crecer en lo personal y en lo profesional. Aunque se trata de un término muy enfocado al mundo empresarial, creo que es perfectamente exportable a cualquier profesión, y la de docente no es una excepción, e incluso me atrevería a decir que se podrían dar determinados usos en el aula. Ahora que ya sabes un poco más sobre el término es el momento de seguir avanzando en nuestra aventura sobre cómo construir relaciones personales que te ayudan a alcanzar tus metas. La mentalidad como clave del networking. Los autores de Nunca comas solo insisten en el hecho de que para conseguir tus metas no es suficiente el talento y la inteligencia, sino que hace falta tener una mentalidad especial. Y en esa mentalidad hay que dar mucha importancia a las relaciones. ¿Por qué? Porque El éxito en la vida se basa en trabajar con los demás y no contra ellos. [T

Half an Hour: Connectivism as Learning Theory - 2 views

  • Connectivism as Learning Theory
  • Here is their effort to prove that connectivism is a learning theory
  • "Connectivism has a direct impact on education and teaching as it works as a learning theory. Connectivism asserts that learning in the 21st century has changed because of technology, and therefore, the way in which we learn has changed, too.
  • ...40 more annotations...
  • Not too long ago, school was a place where students memorized vocabulary and facts. They sat in desks, read from a textbook, and completed worksheets. Now, memorization is not as prevalent because students can just “Google it” if they need to know something."
  • Though this is not very accurate,
  • What is a Learning Theory
  • theories explain
  • Explaining why learning occurs has two parts:
  • They're not taxonomies, in which a domain of enquiry is split into types, steps or stages
  • Theories answer why-questions
  • They identify underlying causes, influencing factors, and in some cases, laws of nature.
  • first, describing what learning is, and second, describing how it happens
  • The question of how learning occurs is therefore the question of how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • A learning theory, therefore, describes what learning is and explains why learning occurs.
  • What is Learning?
  • According to connectivism, learning is the formation of connections in a network
  • in behaviourism, learning is the creation of a habitual response in particular circumstances
  • in instructivism, learning is the successful transfer of knowledge from one person (typically a teacher) to another person (typically a student)
  • in constructivism, learning is the creation and application of mental models or representations of the world
  • Thomas Kuhn called this the incommensurability of theories.
  • The sort of connections I refer to are between entities (or, more formally, 'nodes'). They are not (for example) conceptual connections in a concept map. A connection is not a logical relation.
  • A connection exists between two entities when a change of state in one entity can cause or result in a change of state in the second entity."
  • How Does Learning Occur?
  • They're not handbooks or best-practices manuals
  • In both cases, these networks 'learn' by automatically adjusting the set of connections between individual neurons or nodes
  • In behaviourism, learning takes place through operant conditioning, where the learner is presented with rewards and consequences
  • In instructivism, the transfer of knowledge takes place through memorization and rote. This is essentially a process of presentation and testing
  • In constructivism, there is no single theory describing how the construction of models and representations happens - the theory is essentially the proposition that, given the right circumstances, construction will occur
  • four major categories of learning theory
  • which describe, specifically and without black boxes, how connections are formed between entities in a network
  • Hebbian rules
  • the principles of quality educational design are based on the properties of networks that effectively respond to, and recognize, phenomena in the environment.
  • Back Propagation
  • Boltzmann
  • what is knowledge a connectivist will talk about the capacity of a network to recognize phenomena based on partial information, a common property of neural networks.
  • Additionally, the question of how we evaluate learning in connectivism is very different.
  • a connectivist model of evaluation involves the recognition of expertise by other participants inside the network
  • Contiguity -
  • autonomy, diversity, openness, and interactivity
  • where learning is
  • the ongoing development of a richer and richer neural tapestry
  • the essential purpose of education and teaching is not to produce some set of core knowledge in a person
  • but rather to create the conditions in which a person can become an accomplished and motivated learner in their own right

Your Phone Has an FM Chip. So Why Can't You Listen to the Radio? | WIRED - 0 views

  •  
    "Every smartphone in the world has an FM tuner built in. But here in the US, just one-third of them actually works, even though the Federal Emergency Management Agency says radio can save lives in an emergency. "We know that if Internet networks or cell phone networks go down, FM still works so long as you have a battery to turn the device on," says agency spokesman Rafael Lemaitre."

Why We Need a Speed Limit for the Internet - 0 views

  •  
    "In terms of energy conservation, the leaps made in energy efficiency by the infrastructure and devices we use to access the internet have allowed many online activities to be viewed as more sustainable than offline. On the internet, however, advances in energy efficiency have a reverse effect: as the network becomes more energy efficient, its total energy use increases. This trend can only be stopped when we limit the demand for digital communication."

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

Cómo reducir la economía sin quebrarla: un plan en diez puntos - 15/15\15 - 0 views

  •  
    "La economía humana es actualmente demasiado grande para ser sostenible. Lo sabemos porque la Global Footprint Network, que metódicamente hace seguimiento de los datos, nos informa de que la humanidad está usando actualmente recursos equivalentes a una Tierra y media. Podemos usar temporalmente los recursos más rápido de lo que la Tierra los regenera únicamente tomándolos prestados de la futura productividad del planeta, dejando menos para nuestros descendientes. Pero no podemos hacerlo durante mucho tiempo. De una forma u otra, la economía (y aquí estamos hablando principalmente de las economías de los países industrializados) debe reducirse hasta que subsista con lo que la Tierra puede proveer a largo plazo. Decir "de una forma u otra" implica que este proceso puede ocurrir tanto de forma voluntaria como involuntaria; esto es, si no encogemos la economía deliberadamente, se contraerá por su cuenta una vez alcanzados límites innegociables. Como he explicado en mi libro El Final del Crecimiento, hay razones para pensar que esos límites están empezando a afectarnos. Desde luego, la mayoría de las economías industriales están frenándose o encontrando dificultades para crecer a los ritmos que eran comunes durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado. La economía moderna ha sido concebida para requerir crecimiento, así que la contracción causa supensión de pagos y despidos; la simple falta de crecimiento se percibe como un grave problema que requiere la aplicación inmediata de estímulos económicos. Si no se hace nada para revertir el crecimiento o adaptarse anticipadamente al inevitable estancamiento y contracción de la economía, el resultado más previsible será un proceso intermitente, prolongado y caótico de colapso que se prolongará durante muchas décadas o quizás siglos, con innumerables víctimas humanas y no humanas. Ésta puede ser, de hecho, nuestra trayectoria más probable. ¿Es posible, al menos en principio, gestionar e

Más sobre la eficacia del modelo Flipped Classroom |traducido por @santiagoraul - 0 views

  •  
    "Después de haber percibido la mejora en los datos que apoyan la eficacia del modelo flipped classroom a lo largo de 2012 y 2013, el Rector y CIO* en El Colegio de Westchester propuso un estudio más profundo teniendo como base un curso piloto. A lo largo de 2014, se empleó el FC en 2 secciones de 3 cursos diferentes en el Colegio de Westchester, en un esfuerzo por evaluar este modelo de aprendizaje. Las técnicas se aplicaron de forma limitada - el objetivo era que entre el 30% y el 50% del material del curso sería entregado utilizando técnicas basadas en aprendizaje inverso. Resultados alentadores Los resultados se evaluaron de forma tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa. Se utilizó una encuesta para la evaluación cualitativa, y los estudiantes respondieron positivamente, con un 85%, indicando que les gustaba el enfoque y el 76% señalaron que el FC les ayudó a aprender mejor. Las calificaciones finales se utilizaron como base para la evaluación cualitativa, y el resultado más positivo fue que los "Grados DFW" (grados de D, F, o suspenso) se produjo con una media del 14,5% es decir, con una menor frecuencia que en otros cursos en años anteriores. Flipped-Learn-Better El enfoque académico Los docentes que fueron seleccionados para participar en el piloto estaban obligados a definir y documentar su enfoque a la utilización de técnicas de FC en los cursos seleccionados. Algunos optaron por emplearlo más o menos de cada dos semanas, mientras que otros lo hicieron en lecciones específicas, invirtiendo parte de una lección cada semana. Una variedad de materiales digitales de aprendizaje (videos, podcasts, documentos, herramientas basadas en la web) se distribuían para ser trabajados fuera de la clase, junto con ejercicios en clase, proyectos, grupo de trabajo colaborativo y el trabajo en los laboratorios asignados, individualmente y en grupos. Este fue un cambio significativo a la utilización de las horas de clase para realizar actividades

Eleven Ways to Improve Online Classes - 0 views

  •  
    "It has me thinking about what it would mean to improve online classes. A few ideas come to mind: Use multiple platforms. I'm not against using an LMS as a central hub. However, I think it's valuable to experiment with the types of productivity tools you will actually use outside of a classroom. Use Google Docs to share ideas, create surveys, and ask questions. Use Google Hangouts to meet as a group. Go project-based. I haven't figured this out entirely with my first class but my hope is that we can go fully project-based in the same way that my face-to-face class is. In fact, the asynchronous nature of online classes actually means there is a better potential of creating a project-based culture that mirrors the way people actually work on projects. Make something together. I use a collaboration grid with co-creating and communicating on separate spectrums (x-axis) and multimedia and text on another spectrum (y-axis). This has been an effective way to think through collaborative tools that allow students to co-create. Embrace a synchronous/asynchronous blend: I love using Voxer because students can speak back and forth in the moment. However, if they miss it, they can listen to it later. The same is true of using a Google Hangouts On Air. Make it more connective. We tend to treat online instruction as if it is a linear process and we don't do enough to link things back and forth and connect ideas, resources, discussions and content creation in a seamless, back-and-forth nature. Incorporate multimedia. It's a simple idea, but I create a short video at the beginning of each week and I encourage students to create video and audio as well. This has a way of making things more concrete. There's something deeply human about hearing an actual human voice. I know, crazy, right? Go mobile. I don't simply mean use a smart phone. I mean assign some things that allow students to get out in the world and create videos, snap pictures, or simpl

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.

Bitcoin's energy usage is huge - we can't afford to ignore it - 0 views

  •  
    "The cryptocurrency uses as much CO2 a year as 1m transatlantic flights. We need to take it seriously as a climate threat Bitcoin's electricity usage is enormous. In November, the power consumed by the entire bitcoin network was estimated to be higher than that of the Republic of Ireland. Since then, its demands have only grown. It's now on pace to use just over 42TWh of electricity in a year, placing it ahead of New Zealand and Hungary and just behind Peru, according to estimates from Digiconomist. That's commensurate with CO2 emissions of 20 megatonnes - or roughly 1m transatlantic flights."
