  • This is a great utility for reading text back to you from any document or screen.  Great for students and also for those of us preparing texts.  A great way to check our work.
  • This is another animation package, a bit like Pivot. Only this one is entirely online, no programmes to install and has a more graphic quality to it. You build up your shape with basic building blocks and then animate. A simple and intuitive interface and when combined with CamStudio a real winner I think.
  • Spybot search and destroy is an extremely powerful malware attack program that allows you to surf the Internet with all the nasties blocked at the browser level.  A great bit of code that needs to be supported.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • This is a great looking tool that allows you to add real creativity to your wiki, blog or website.  There is a little snippet of code that needs to be embedded  on your site and then the application runs.
  • This is a great tool for literacy.  It enables students to create their own story
  • This utility allows you to create your own widgets for your website, wiki, social networking site etc.  It allows you to create bespoke widgets, embed Flash or HTML code or simply use an RSS feed.
  • Zamzar:  This is a free online service that allows you to convert almost any file into another format that you wish.  Great for converting .flv video files into something that you can play on your computer or mp3 player.
  • Zoho: Zoho is a complete suite of online tools that are designed to increase your online functionality.  It is free to join and is well worth spending some time with the range of 18 applications for you to choose from to ascertain just how you could utilise these tools in your classroom.

    On this page we want to look at how to actively incorporate the backchannel (and hence the audience) in the presentation.  This moves the presentation from one-way delivery to a two-way dialogue with the audience.

  • ePortfolio is an outcome, generated by an institution-wide commitment to fostering students’ identities as learners and professionals
  • it really is about organizational change
  • not to start with student deficiencies but with student competencies. That’s a key ePortfolio idea. As educators, we’ve so often focused on deficiencies. But we can start with competencies: what students already know.

  • emphasis on ePortfolio for learning and transformation.
  • ePortfolios; it’s about your students becoming successful

  • ePortfolio is about: learning with and from our students
  • you don’t get to pull out your lecture notes you’ve been teaching from for the last twenty-five
  • ou have to change what you’re doing. Every time you go to back to the classroom it’s new. It’s different. It’s evolving
  • prior censorship. That doesn’t fit. Prior censorship is when we say: this is the syllabus, these are the four walls, and you follow my path
  • It’s so important to educate the whole person, not just someone who meets our graduation requirements.

A cautionary presentation for JISC IE and eResearch Call bidders « Silversprite - 0 views

shared by George Roberts on 30 Dec 08 - Cached
  • Project Lanes has re-emerged on the JISC website, embedded in a presentation by Greg Newton-Ingham, another ex-eLibber who is self-employed - Greg is now doing interesting things in data mining. The re-emergence of Project Lanes is bad I get no attribution (not a problem, seriously), but good as it means Greg can take any awkward questions It is downloadable from here, and the Project Lanes part is from slides five to 21. Gosh, that was a memory trip. The rest of the slides, by Greg, are also well worth a read. “Not part of the coffee room set.” - yes, that will bring back a few “Them and us” memories to eLib project staff working in universities.

  • all of the industrialized countries the USA is competing with "are pursuing both content and skills."
  • Do kids learn to think by reading great literature, doing difficult math and learning history, philosophy and science? Or can they tackle those subjects on their own if schools simply teach them to problem-solve, communicate, use technology and think creatively?
  • While kids may enjoy working together on projects, for instance, the amount of knowledge they get often ends up being shallow.

      Educating parents is essential
  • The district works regularly with faculty members to explain its acceptable use policy and help them understand how to apply the policy in their classrooms. These lessons have a trickledown effect; when a student violates the AUP for the first time, teachers use the experience as a teachable moment, dissecting the incident and reflecting back on where the student erred.

    Finland recently made the news for its decision to shift away from a focus on handwriting. Beginning in 2016 students will not be required tl learn cursive handwriting and instead will be taught typing skills. If this was anywhere other tan Finland the decision might be ignored or ridiculed but the Finnish Education systems reputation for producing quality learning backed by innovative practice makes this hard to ignore.

Learning or Management Systems? « Connectivism - 1 views

www.connectivism.ca/?p=243 social network e-learning LMS
shared by Leo de Carvalho on 29 Apr 11 - Cached
  • The shortcomings of these approaches rest in their lack of integration and the control required by many universities. The experience of many educators parallels my own—learners are very active with technology, but once in an LMS space, they seldom do more than the minimum required (a particular concern in courses where dialogue and theory are important to explore). This may be a function of students taking on “the student role”—defaulting to passive behaviour—once in an academic environment. It may also be due to the change in behaviour expected by educators—where learners must leave their tools behind and adopt tools with limited functionality. For an individual used to Skyping, blogging, tagging, creating podcasts, or collaboratively writing an online document, the transition to a learning management system is a step back in time (by several years).
  • Leo de Carvalho on 29 Apr 11
     
    Jon Mott recently published an article in EDUCAUSE Quarterly on Envisioning the Post-LMS Era. Jim Groom captures the reactions of individuals who have been exploring the link between learning management systems and personal learning environments. There is a sense - and I'll admit I felt it as well in reading the article - that many long-time contributors to the discussion were not referenced in the article. In theory, the review process should draw attention to important omissions of literature. However, most reviewers would likely not see the spaces (blogs) where much of the conversation happens before it jumps into mainstream as good sources. I've posted below that I wrote while at University of Manitoba addressing the LMS/PLE issue. I'm not sure how long an archive of their copy will exist, so posting it here might give it a bit more of an existence.
