The Wrath Against Khan: Why Some Educators Are Questioning Khan Academy - 0 views

  • While "technology will replace teachers" seems like a silly argument to make, one need only look at the state of most school budgets and know that something's got to give. And lately, that something looks like teachers' jobs, particularly to those on the receiving end of pink slips. Granted, we haven't implemented a robot army of teachers to replace those expensive human salaries yet (South Korea is working on the robot teacher technology. I'll keep you posted.). But we are laying off teachers in mass numbers. Teachers know their jobs are on the line, something that's incredibly demoralizing for a profession already struggles mightily to retain qualified people.
  • it's hard not to see that wealth as having political not just economic impact. Indeed, the same week that Bill Gates spoke to the Council of Chief State School Officers about ending pay increases for graduate degrees in teaching, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan issued almost the very same statement. What does all of this have to do with Sal Khan? Well, nothing... and everything.
  • One of education historian Diane Ravitch's oft-uttered complaints is that we now have a bunch of billionaires like Gates dictating education policy and education reform, without ever having been classroom teachers themselves (or without having attended public school). But the skepticism about Khan Academy isn't just a matter of wealth or credentials of Khan or his backers. It's a matter of pedagogy.

  • No doubt, Khan has done something incredible by creating thousands of videos, distributing them online for free, and now designing an analytics dashboard for people to monitor and guide students' movements through the Khan Academy material. And no doubt, lots of people say they've learned a lot by watching the videos. The ability pause, rewind, and replay is often cited as the difference between "getting" the subject matter through classroom instruction and "getting it" via Khan Academy's lecture-demonstrations.
  • Although there's a tech component here that makes this appear innovative, that's really a matter of form, not content, that's new. There's actually very little in the videos that distinguishes Khan from "traditional" teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that's "learning." Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that's "drilling."

Confessions of an Aca/Fan: Why Universities Shouldn't Create "Something like YouTube" (... - 1 views

  • Many universities are trying to figure out how they can build "something like YouTube" to support their educational activities. Most of them end up building things that are very little like YouTube in that they tend to lock down the content and make it hard to move into other spaces and mobilize in other conversations. In a sense, these university based sites are about disciplining the flow of knowledge rather than facilitating it.

eLearn: Feature Article - Learning 2.0: How digital networks are changing the rules - 0 views

  • Clay Shirky, author of Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age, eminds us: "In the history of print, we got erotic novels 100 years before we got scientific journals, and complaints about distraction have been rampant; no less a beneficiary of the printing press than Martin Luther complained, 'The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no measure of limit to this fever for writing.'"
  • Thus whether we are simply in a transition stage with the Internet in which we will eventually weed out the more frivolous content (or at least find a proper place for it) is left to be seen, but history would indicate that there is a distinct possibility that we will self-regulate for the better good.
  • Gardner also contends that creativity can be cultivated in groups. Thus the ability to work collaboratively may palliate a lack of individual creativity.

Sample branching scenario + cool tool » Making Change - 23 views

  • Branching scenarios can be a pain to design. Happily, you can use a simple tool called Twine to easily draft the scenario and produce it.
  • Twine works in Windows and on the Mac, it’s free, and it publishes scenarios in easily customized, accessible HTML. It’s based on TiddlyWiki, a lightweight information management tool.
  • Since Twine produces a standard web page, you could conceivably embed a Twine story in any elearning tool that lets you embed web pages and that doesn’t interfere with Javascript. It might also be mobile-friendly — at least, the sample scenario works on my iPhone.

Buy B2B Leads Generation-100% Trust & Secure...... - 0 views

  •  
    buy b2b leads generation A new lead generation process has been making its rounds in the business-to-business sector, and it's called "buy b2b leads generation." In a nutshell, this process allows businesses to target and purchase lists of leads that have been specifically generated for their products or services. The appeal of buy b2b leads generation is understandable. After all, purchasing leads lists eliminates much of the guesswork that's inherent in other lead generation strategies. You no longer have to spend time and resources generating leads through methods like content marketing or search engine optimization. 2 Types of B2B Lead Generation There are countless ways to generate leads for businesses, but there are broadly two main types of lead generation: inbound and outbound. Inbound lead generation relies on customers or clients coming to you, usually through your website or blog. This might be through signing up to a newsletter, or downloading a white paper or e-book. In other words, you provide something of value for free in return for the customer's contact information. Outbound lead generation is more traditional, and involves proactively reaching out to potential customers. This might be through cold-emailing or calling, attending trade shows and conferences, or even direct mail. The goal with outbound lead generation is to make initial contact with potential customers, and then nurture those relationships until they're ready to buy.
