Today's college students, often referred to as the "digital generation," use an impressive assortment of technological tools in a wide variety of ways. However, the findings reported here suggest that students prefer more traditional instructional technology for effective engagement and learning. Faculty members, however, prefer the use of course-learning technology offered by their universities or publishers. In addition to this potential mismatch between preferences of students and teachers, the research finds that there are vast differences in preferences and usage across disciplines, in particular, business and economics instructors and students having stronger technology preferences than instructors and students of the fine arts and life sciences.

In Keller, TX an elementary school club is learning and teaching their peers about Tafadzwa. What started as a group with an interest in Afrian music and musical instruments has now turned into a much larger group of three clubs incorporating art, drama, and music. It started with homemade insturments from PVC pipes and a teacher who was looking to inspire children with music. If only all educators were as dedicated and passionate about their careeers.

When I came across this article in the paper it made me think of current discussion we had about "Public Schools for Private Advantage". We had mentioned what may happen if academic programs began to focus more on what skills will be needed to get a job rather than programs that may not provide as much monetary gains.

An interesting look at an online "text" created by teachers in the home of creating more in-depth knowledge (rather than rushing through traditional textbook chapters).

Public schools have begun using portfolio style assessments for individuals in special education, and those who have high test anxiety. It appears these tests are proving successful and are able to fully assess the individuals learning and knowledge of subject matter. The portfolios are a pricey investment for the public schools at $500,000 for the school year and numerous teacher hours spent grading them; but who should put a price on education? I wonder if more schools will begin using portfolios for all assessments over the standarized test?

An interesting look at the cuts in loan repayment programs and what that could means for fields like teaching. If people are hesitant to take on loans for their education, this could lead to a shortage of teachers.

I found this to be an interesting article from a parent's perspective on the need for honesty and candor in school conversations. Downey makes a good point in acknowledging that teachers feel the need to protect themselves. However, some of this language does not create a positive atmosphere and makes collaboration difficult at times.

As someone who has been going through hell all year because my sole evaluator has a chip on her shoulder, I can tell you that I love the idea of using master teachers as a complementary system of evaluation alongside administrators.

This would be a wonderful way for students to make something beautiful out of all the dirt samples they collect at Thanksgiving. Hopefully I could get an art teacher to partner up with me and do some of the background learning of the Japanese tradition.

Interactive whiteboards (IWB) allow science and math teachers to teach multi-sensory lessons, seamlessly jumping from one type of media to another. Interactive science or math lessons can easily integrate text, sound, video, and graphics based on the tactile nature of the IWB.

Change is the law of nature and education sector is no exception to this rule. In ancient time people used to use leaves as we use paper to jot down or scribble notes, while the teacher gave lectures. The pupils had to stay with their Guru or teacher till their education was complete.

Tutoring has become a significant part of students' education. A tutor is a highly educated teacher who works with a particular student individually, interacting face-to-face to offer educational support, or helping in improving their skills

This paper examines the experiences of undergraduate university students in response to the employment of video podcasts to support learning and teaching about exotic ecosystems. Six, 15-20‐minute podcasts were made accessible to students through a virtual learning environment, either online or to download to mobile technology. The students were free to watch the podcasts whenever and wherever they chose to. The perceived and actual effectiveness of the technology was assessed by written questionnaire, focus groups and summative assessment results. Students agreed that the podcasts were effective in supporting learning and teaching on the course, largely by offering a flexible and visual learning experience. The podcasts were also perceived as a useful resource for revision and assessment, providing visual images that stimulated factual recall and highlighted knowledge gaps. There were no significant differences, however, in examination essay grades comparing cohorts prior to and post adoption of podcasts. The key to improving the student learning experience appears to lie not in adopting new pedagogy, but in reflexively developing the existing pedagogic strategies employed by both teachers and learners. Of primary importance is uniting the individual learning experience of podcasts with group exploration and critical discussion in a collaborative learning framework.
