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. ..."

"there is no live teacher engagement... Currently, just 10 percent of MOOC registrants complete their courses. Where Will MOOCs Be Just Two Years From Now? Within the next two years, MOOCs will quickly evolve from lacking teacher engagement to having a lot of teacher engagement. Right now, it's essentially a model where computers are teaching students. This model is simply not sustainable in the long run without live student-teacher engagement. Teachers are the key that unlocks learning in these courses. They help students resolve issues and problems. Will the biggest change in online education moving forward be putting live teachers at the center of the MOOC (not just on video)? We will know the answer very soon."

"¿Qué es el trabajo colaborativo? ¿Se trata de distribuir tareas en un equipo? ¿Por qué se aprende mejor de esa manera? ¿Qué se aprende, además de los contenidos disciplinares? Cecilia Sagol, coordinadora de Contenidos del portal educ.ar, habla de este tipo de aprendizaje, su implementación en clase y de algunas herramientas que facilitan y potencian los diversos aspectos del trabajo (mayo de 2015)."

1) the ways they currently implement Twitter in their teaching and learning, 2) ideas for future development of Twitter-based assignments and pedagogical practices, and 3) issues concerning the integration of Twitter and other digital media into both traditional and non-traditional pedagogies. Collaborators should feel free to add material to these pages, to comment on existing material, and to share links to relevant external readings and resources. It may be helpful to tag your contributions with your Twitter handle. Collaborators are asked to please respect this space as a forum for open and respectful dialogue and networking. 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

"This book YOUNG & CREATIVE - Digital Technologies Empowering Children in Everyday Life aims to catch different examples where children and youth have been active and creative by their own initiative, driven by intrinsic motivation, personal interests and peer relations. We want to show the opportunities of digital technologies for creative processes of children and young people. The access to digital technology and its growing convergence has allowed young people to experiment active roles as cultural producers. Participation becomes a keyword when "consumers take media into their own hands". Digital technologies offer the potential of different forms of participatory media culture, and finally creative practices. YOUNG and CREATIVE is a mix of research articles, interviews and case studies. The target audience of this book is students, professionals and researchers working in the field of education, communication, children and youth studies, new literacy studies and media and information literacy."

"Open with a question or two. Another favorite education writer of mine, the cognitive psychologist Daniel Willingham, argues that teachers should focus more on the use of questions. "The material I want students to learn," he writes in his book Why Don't Students Like School?, "is actually the answer to a question. On its own, the answer is almost never interesting. But if you know the question, the answer may be quite interesting." My colleague Greg Weiner, an associate professor of political science, puts those ideas into practice. At the beginning of class, he shows four or five questions on a slide for students to consider. Class then proceeds in the usual fashion. At the end, he returns to the questions so that students can both see some potential answers and understand that they have learned something that day. What did we learn last time? A favorite activity of many instructors is to spend a few minutes at the opening of class reviewing what happened in the previous session. That makes perfect sense, and is supported by the idea that we don't learn from single exposure to material - we need to return frequently to whatever we are attempting to master.But instead of offering a capsule review to students, why not ask them to offer one back to you?Reactivate what they learned in previous courses. Plenty of excellent evidence suggests that whatever knowledge students bring into a course has a major influence on what they take away from it. So a sure-fire technique to improve student learning is to begin class by revisiting, not just what they learned in the previous session, but what they already knew about the subject matter.Write it down. All three of the previous activities would benefit from having students spend a few minutes writing down their responses. That way, every student has the opportunity to answer the question, practice memory retrieval from the previous session, or surface their prior knowledge - and not just the students most likely to

"... son las que se mantienen atentas a todo posible progreso en el campo de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. La escuela inteligente debe poseer tres características: Estar informada: los directores, los docentes y los alumnos saben mucho sobre el pensamiento y el aprendizaje humanos y sobre el funcionamiento óptimo de la estructura y la cooperación escolar. Ser dinámica: no necesita sólo información sino un espíritu enérgico. Las medidas que se toman tienen por objeto generar energía positiva en la estructura escolar, en la dirección y en el trato dispensado a maestros y alumnos. Ser reflexiva: es un lugar de reflexión en la doble connotación del término: atención y cuidado. En primer lugar, quienes la integran son sensibles a las necesidades del otro y lo tratan con deferencia y respeto. En segundo lugar, la enseñanza, el aprendizaje y la toma de decisiones giran en torno del pensamiento. Poseedora de esas características, la escuela inteligente persigue, como mínimo, tres metas generales respecto del conocimiento: Retención. Comprensión. Uso activo. Hay una expresión que engloba a todas las metas: conocimiento generador, es decir, conocimiento que no se acumula sino que actúa para enriquecer la vida de las personas y ayudarlas a comprender el mundo y a desenvolverse en él. Esta característica se opone a la del pensamiento pobre de la generalidad de la escuela, donde los estudiantes no saben pensar valiéndose de lo que saben. El pensamiento pobre se produce por dos grandes deficiencias en cuanto a los resultados de la educación: el conocimiento frágil (los estudiantes no recuerdan, no comprenden o no usan activamente gran parte de lo que supuestamente han aprendido) y el conocimiento olvidado (el conocimiento ha desaparecido de la mente de los alumnos que alguna vez lo tuvieron y podrían haberlo recordado). Existen otras deficiencias tales como: Conocimiento inerte. Los alumnos son incapaces de recordar los c
