    Anson says that the newspaper will go the way of the dinosaur-- pretty insightful for being written in 1999... Although, he did think we'd be plugging our tablets into vending machines that accepted quarters... hmmm...

    Hawisher & Selfe say that because computers are in classrooms everywhere now, teachers have to revamp their strategies for teaching. They can't just take their traditional methods and throw in computers. There is a better way!

      This covers brain rules 4, 5, and 6. It involves the importance of using fun for learning, as outlined in CH 4, but it also covers the importance of strenthening memory for the purpose of enhancing learning, as outlined in chapter 5 &6
  • . Students line up along the back of the room while the group leader stands in the front. The leader calls out a series of descriptors: if the statement is true, students take a step forward. If it’s not true, students take a step back.

      This brings in brain rule 4, which states that audiences will pay better attention if they have rich, fun classroom experiences. It also brings in brain rule 1, which talks about the importance of activity for learning.

    Brain Rule 4: People don't pay attention to boring things. This website of classroom games and activities does a great job of outlining some great ways to hold the attention of a class. Students, especially young students, do not have the attention span to have tons of information lectured at them for hours. Therefore, it's important to break up the monotony with some fun classroom activities-- trick them into learning, so to speak.

      Most of the events that predict whether something learned will also be remembered occur in the first few seconds of learning. The more elaborately we encode a memory during its initial moments, the stronger it will be.

      (Chapter 5)
  • Learners who used a repetition tactic remembered 50% more content after one week (7 days) than did those learners who did not recite.
  • This is a practice activity. Use it with students who are familiar with the lesson content. Students recall facts, labels, lists, rules, or procedures by stating the correct question that corresponds to the answer provided by the narrator while participating in a game to make the lesson more interesting. This activity should be used after the students are familiar with the lesson content.

      Brain Rule #4: People don't pay attention to boring things! If you want your class to remember to repeat, and repeat to remember, play a game with them! Do something to hold their attention.

      This goes along with the idea of CH 6-- We must remember to repeat! The fact that we know repetition is a good learning tool is useless if we don't actually remember to do it. Having a repetition tactic helps out with that goal.

  • Repetition involves repeating the information to be recalled. Repetition can be done verbally, in writing, or mentally. It has been documented that the most effective method of Repetition is verbal repetition because it involves both auditory and vocal senses.

    This site references O'reilly a lot, as he's apparently the authority on all things Web 2.0. There are many competing definitions for Web 2.0. Some say it's a set of practices and philosophies that help users have a deep, rich web experience. Others think it's a new collection of technology that increases accessibility for everyone. Still others think it's all hype and it means nothing...

  • A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.

      I like wikipedia's definition. I think that Web 2.0 does have to do with web apps that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, etc. Social media is also an important part of web 2.0
  • The concept of Web-as-participation-platform captures many of these characteristics. Bart Decrem, a founder and former CEO of Flock, calls Web 2.0 the "participatory Web"[17] and regards the Web-as-information-source as Web 1.0.

      The concept of web as a participation platform is a big part of web 2.0, and also the teaching writing with technology classroom. The participatory culture is a huge part of integrating technology into the classroom.

    This Wikipedia page talks about Web 2.0, saying that Web 2.0 as we use it has to do with web applications that facilitate participatory info sharing, interoperability, and user-centered design
