Teaching in a Digital Age, by @drtonybates - 0 views

  •  
    "The book examines the underlying principles that guide effective teaching in an age when all of us, and in particular the students we are teaching, are using technology. A framework for making decisions about your teaching is provided, while understanding that every subject is different, and every instructor has something unique and special to bring to their teaching.The book enables teachers and instructors to help students develop the knowledge and skills they will need in a digital age: not so much the IT skills, but the thinking and attitudes to learning that will bring them success. Book release date (final version): 1 April 2015."

CARDBOARD Robotic Hydraulic Arm : 16 Steps (with Pictures) - 0 views

  •  
    "How to make your very own Hydraulic Arm! This project focuses on the principles of hydraulic movements. To do that we made a small scale demonstration of a Robotic Hydraulic Arm. We managed to do some pretty cool tasks with our ''Arm'', do check out the video down below for a better understanding! This project is entirely made with cardboard and a couple of syringes, all the plans and blueprints are available."

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

20 principios de la Psicología que no querrás ignorar, por @jtoufi - 0 views

  •  
    "En el documento que incluyo más abajo, utilizando la excelente posibilidad que ofrece Calaméo, con cada principio encontrarás una explicación, las implicaciones para los profesores y la bibliografía en la que se apoya. ¿Se puede pedir más? Los 20 principios tratan de responder a cuatro grandes preguntas que indico al comenzar cada bloque. ¿Cómo piensan y aprenden los alumnos? ¿Qué motiva a los alumnos? ¿Cómo se puede gestionar la clase mejor? ¿Cómo evaluar el progreso de los alumnos?"
