No estoy totalmente de acuerdo pero es interesante para reflexionar. Habría que ver el uso de cada uno. Quizá para la que aquí llaman @teacher haya otras alternativas. La de @dept/school en realidad es una cuenta institucional, no personal. Gestionada quizá por varias personas colectivamente pero no personal

"Si los datos son el futuro de la inteligencia artificial, entonces la educación es el Santo Grial de los datos. Nada produce más datos que la interacción de un alumno con el conocimiento: pueden tomarse entre 5 y 10 millones de datos por día por alumno para construir predicciones sobre su futuro y crear secuencias personalizadas de aprendizaje. Eso es lo que hacen las plataformas de aprendizaje adaptativo. Se trata de un mercado incipiente, todavía en plena experimentación. Pero quizás ningún otro dispositivo sea tan crucial para anticipar lo que vendrá gracias al Big Data y la Inteligencia Artificial. Aquí repasamos 10 plataformas de aprendizaje adaptativo que están dominando la batalla actual por el futuro de la educación. (1) Dreambox: un maestro infinitamente paciente El software de Dreambox captura cada click del mouse de los alumnos y puede anticipar 60 parámetros distintos de comportamiento (por ejemplo, frecuencia, tipo y velocidad de respuestas, cantidad y tipos de errores, etc.). El programa amasa una cantidad inmensa de datos: 50.000 puntos de datos por alumno por hora. Con esta información cambia la presentación y el tipo de clases y la secuencia siguiente en tiempo real ante cada alumno. Como se define en el siguiente video, el maestro de Dreambox es "infinitamente paciente, tiene datos ilimitados y una memoria perfecta". Dreambox está diseñado para el trabajo individual de los alumnos entre 60 y 90 minutos por semana. Abarca alumnos desde el kínder y en 2014 lanzó una versión en español. (2) Cerego: la máquina de la memoria Cerego es una de las más conocidas: se basa en principios de las neurociencias y las ciencias cognitivas y utiliza la dimensión espacial como la base de la memoria de largo plazo. Los que se inscriben pueden hacer diversos trayectos de aprendizaje basados en la memorización. Es un sitio extremadamente innovador y limitado a la vez: en un tiempo donde se promueve el pensamiento crítico, la

"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

"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

"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

Ver At School "France in the Year 2000 (XXI century) - a series of futuristic pictures by Jean-Marc Côté and other artists issued in France in 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1910. Originally in the form of paper cards enclosed in cigarette/cigar boxes and, later, as postcards, the images depicted the world as it was imagined to be like in the year 2000. There are at least 87 cards known that were authored by various French artists, the first series being produced for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris."

Artículo, en inglés, acerca de la utilización de móviles en el aula, etc... "Technology is like water to a fish. It surrounds us, and we rarely notice it, but we use it all the time. Instead of keeping children away from the water, we should teach them to swim. Any alternative would be unthinkable."

""Este es el mapa sobre el cambio climático para los que no creen en el cambio climático". Así definía Parag Khanna, investigador de la globalización de la Kuan Yew School, el controvertido mapa que muestra cómo sería un mundo con 4ºC más. Es triste, pero en el ambiente flota la idea que mostrar los resultados demasiado catastróficos no logra convencer a los negacionistas. Pero este mapa tiene algo positivo y noveodso: a parte de las zonas afectadas por la tragedia muestra también posibles soluciones para habitar el nuevo planeta recalentado. Estas eran algunas de las conclusiones que indicaba el mapa: -México, Perú, Ecuador y Brasil se han convertido en desiertos. -Antártico oeste, Siberia, Canadá, Reino Unido, Escandinavia, Groenlandia, el norte de Rusia y Nueva Zelanda serán los países que acogerán a los refugiados del cambio climático y donde se podrá cultivar alimentos. -En el Ártico todo será verdor después que el hielo se haya fundido. Será una ruta comercial navegable durante todo el año que unirá Canadá y Rusia. -Sur de Europa: España, la mitad sur de Francia, Italia, Grecia, Bulgaria y otras ciudades del sur de Europa se han convertido en un desierto sólo apto para el cultivo de energía solar y geotérmica. Ciudades como Barcelona, Venecia y Estambul han quedado inundadas. ¿Qué había de cierto en este mapa publicado en 2009 en New Scientist? Según los estudios más recientes ese mapa era demasiado optimista. Porque solamente 0.5ºC de temperatura tendrían un impacto fatal sobre el planeta. Y porque no, el cambio climático no es algo negociable. "

The book you hold in your hands would not exist had high school been a pleasant experience for me… It was on those quiet weekend nights when even my parents were out having fun that I began making serious attempts to make stories in comics form. - Adrian Tomine, introduction to 32 Stories Computer Science Professor Calvin Newport's recent book, Deep Work, posits that all that shallow phone time is creating stress, anxiety, and lost creative opportunities, while also doing a number on our personal and professional lives.Author Manoush Zomorodi's recent TED Talk on how boredom can lead to brilliant ideas, below, details a weeklong experiment in battling smartphone habits, with lots of scientific evidence to back up her findings."

"Teaching children according to their individual "learning style" does not achieve better results and should be ditched by schools in favour of evidence-based practice, according to leading scientists. Thirty eminent academics from the worlds of neuroscience, education and psychology have signed a letter to the Guardian voicing their concern about the popularity of the learning style approach among some teachers. ..."
