Weblogg-ed » Not "The Dumbest Generation" - 0 views

  • So with the caveat that I am only halfway through Mark Bauerline’s book The Dumbest Generation, I have some early impressions to throw out there. While I think there is some merit to this side of the debate (much like Keen’s Cult of the Amateur) what really bothers me about this book so far is, as the title suggests, this sense that our kids are at fault. Let me put it plainly: our kids are not “dumb” nor is this generation “dumb” simply because they spend a lot of time in front of television screens and computers or because they haven’t worked out for themselves how to get smarter using the Read/Write Web.

    Cool way to use Google Docs to teach charts and spreadsheets.

    Cool survey results gadgets from Lucy Gray -- very very cool for use with children and to demonstrate spreadsheets and charts. I like the little worms she used on her favorite colors chart.

Theory of Assumption - The "A" Theory of Learning « Suifaijohnmak's Weblog - 3 views

  •  
    In this Theory, we are making assumptions about learning from different perspectives. From an educator's perspective, we have made assumptions about the needs and readiness of learners, and assumed that there are best teaching and learning strategies for particular learners under particular learning context.

My New Year Resolution: More Quality Comments « Sabrina's Weblog - 0 views

  •  
    Apart from that, writing comments forces us to pay more attention to what we are reading and develop our own ideas further. Sometimes when  I decide to write a short  comment, I end up writing long and complex comments dealing with lots of issues, and I just don't know how I got there...To sum up, quality comments help us to become better bloggers and strengthen community links.

A chat with Stephen Downes on OER - Creative Commons - 3 views

  • My mission is to make it so that every person around the world has full access to educational opportunities and equal opportunity to make the most of their lives. Open educational resources are an important part of that because, of course, access to open materials enables all of that
  • In order to learn, we have to be active. You have to do things; we have to create things. So learning, whether it occurs in the classroom, in a formal situation or informal situation, it involves not only accessing, but remaking, remixing, repurposing, and rewriting learning resources; the creation of learning resources; the redistribution of them.
