The Impact of Quantum Learning - 0 views
-
The FADE model—Foundation, Atmosphere, Design, Environment—creates the context of Quantum Learning. We know when the context is strong, it 'fades' into the background and creates the structure for learning to occur.
-
The Quantum Learning framework for student learning is expressed in 5 Tenets of Learning: Everything Speaks: Everything, from surroundings and tone of voice to distribution of materials, conveys an important message about learning. Everything is On Purpose: Everything we do has an intended purpose. Experience Before Label: Students make meaning and transfer new content into long-term memory by connecting to existing schema. Learning is best facilitated when students experience the information in some aspect before they acquire labels for what is being learned. Acknowledge Every Effort: Acknowledgment of each student's effort encourages learning and experimentation. If It's Worth Learning, It's Worth Celebrating!: Celebration provides feedback regarding progress and increases positive emotional associations with the learning.

ICT in Education Assessments are Biased and Inaccurate « Educational Technolo... - 7 views

One of the conclusions was that indeed, large reforms (e.g., “Het nieuwe leren”, or the new learning) were imposed without scientific support. Another that political prejudices, not any kind of data, were the main motivating factor in the reforms.
-
The alternative, assessing educational reforms well before introduction, is a form of social engineering. Social engineering seems to always be more difficult than you think. And I think history has shown that education is no exception in this respect.
-
Scientific “facts” are never appreciated unless they completely align with the preconceptions of the “stake-holders” (minus the children).

» Diigo and Active Reading Robin Talkowski's Blog: Reading & Technology - 12 views

Diigo provides a great way to model and practice reading informational text and to engage students in collaborative virtual discussions. Many know Delicious and Diigo as social bookmarking sites. Diigo is so much more! Find a website that you want your students to read. Then use Diigo to model the active reading process and make notations right on the web site by using the Diigo tools of Sticky Notes and Highlighting. Paste a sticky note at the beginning of the text to remind students to ask themselves, “What do you already know about this topic?” Also, add a sticky note reminding students to note their purpose for reading. Diigo’s highlighting tools include four different colors. Use the various colors and model how to find the main ideas and highlight only the essential words in yellow. Supporting details, key vocabulary words, and confusing parts can each be highlighted with different colors. Consistency in highlighting color will provide another cue for students about text structure. Diigo serves as an excellent tool for modeling the pre-reading process, for pointing out text features and structure, and to practice active reading by making connections and asking questions. Once students are ready for independent practice, Diigo can be taken to another level. Educator accounts allow teachers to create classes. Each student in the class can annotate and highlight the assigned web site article independently. Connections, questions, and comments are then shared with the teacher and the class. “Sticky note” or “Read and Say Something” conversations can then be conducted through Diigo.

...has put together a [LINK] six-step rubric for designing a project. He says Fading Footprints, which became a model for King and Expeditionary Learning Schools, doesn't take an entire school, or even a team of twelve, to plan and carry out; one or two teachers can tailor this one to fit their time and resources.

When it comes to showing results, he said, “We better put up or shut up.”
-
Critics counter that, absent clear proof, schools are being motivated by a blind faith in technology and an overemphasis on digital skills — like using PowerPoint and multimedia tools — at the expense of math, reading and writing fundamentals. They say the technology advocates have it backward when they press to upgrade first and ask questions later.

Laptops on Expedition: Embracing Expeditionary Learning (Edutopia) - 0 views

At first, it may look like they're taking part in a graduation ceremony, but the students who march across the stage at Maine's Falmouth Audubon Society to shake hands with their principal and teachers aren't walking away with diplomas. They're walking away with tangible results of their learning. In this particular case, the eighty-five seventh graders from King Middle School in Portland each received a copy of "Fading Footprints," a CD-ROM they produced about Maine's endangered species. During the ceremony, which included thank-yous to teachers and experts who had helped on the project, some students explained the process. "I made sure all the links worked." Others talked a little about what they learned. "You can ask me anything about the harlequin duck." Then they all repaired to a courtyard for cake and punch.
Service Web 3.0 - The Future Internet: Service Web 3.0 Video - 0 views

With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Future Internet, an initiative driven by the European Union, has become a prime research focus of STI International and the Service Web 3.0 project. In order to explain, promote, and attract new contributotrs, we created a video to be viewed by stakeholders, who may be non-experts, in a new generation Internet. The video outlines the basic themes of the European Union's Future Internet initiative. These include: an Internet of Services, where services are ubiquitous; an Internet of Things where in principle every physical object becomes an online addressable resource; a Mobile Internet where 24/7 seamless connectivity over multiple devices is the norm; and the need for semantics in order to meet the challenges presented by the dramatic increase in the scale of content and users.The video has proved to be popular and has already appeared on the main pages of the EU Future Internet Portal and the Software and Services Unit website. Please distribute this link in order to futher promote the ambitious goals behind the vision of the Future Internet, supported by STI International and Service Web 3.0.

This is excellent! It may not be perfect yet, but it's as close as I've seen for collaborative writing assignments. Make sure you watch the tour video to get a sense of how it works. They will be making more enhancements for education soon (no student emails required, and better reports), but even now I think it's excellent! Watch the tour video
