Things That Keep Us Up at Night - 10/1/2009 - School Library Journal - 5 views

  •  
    The library, as we once knew it, may no longer be relevant. School librarians, as we once knew them, may no longer be relevant. And, yet, this is undoubtedly the most exciting time in history to be a librarian.

    Must read article that is tearing through the blogs of librarians and media specialists like wildfire this October. If you work with libaries and media centers this is a must read and must pass along if only to spark conversation (and oh, it has.)

TED | Search - 14 views

  •  
    This is the talk given at TED by Richard Baraniuk on Connexions, an open-source system for free educational content and his belief that this type of innovation will replace textbooks (YAY!). It's the first link on the list; I didn't save the link itself because it opens on a media player and that's really annoying. Click and enjoy! (PS If you've been living as a hostage on the moon for the last couple of years and haven't heard of TED give it a look/listen - it rocks).

In Defense of Lecturing in the Social Studies Classroom - 8 views

  •  
    A timely defense of teacher-centred instruction. Surely the quality of instruction is more important than a fixation on its method? After having tried student-centred and me-centred teaching styles I have found overwhelmingly that the latter is more effective. I'm pretty entertaining though...

How Is New Media Reshaping the Work of Historians? - 7 views

  • There is some ambiguity about what they actually published online, however. The question asked them not to include digital versions of their print books or journal articles in their count, but most said their work was published on a journal’s site (Figure 5)
    • Lisa M Lane
       
      And we expect students to read the instructions! If they did, I suspect a lack of understanding about the sites involved.
  • Use of new media to do something new or different with the scholarship was a very minor consideration, however. Less than 40 percent of the respondents who had considered publishing online listed linking to other materials, publishing additional sources, or telling their stories in a new way as part of their thinking.
  • there was a significant difference between the power users and the rest of the published historians on these issues, as they were two to three times more likely to emphasize doing something new or different with the medium as the value of publishing online.
