    Some great ideas on how to use google sketchup in the classroom. With "how too" guides for the teacher to use. This would be perfect in a 1:1 setting but could be used in the lab or on pc's in classroom

The Top 50 Education Twitter Chats (And How To Use Them) | Edudemic - 0 views

    Lately I have been thinking a lot about thinking. More specifically, I have been thinking hard about the absence of thought in education. The absence of thought in students, teachers, administrators and policy-makers. This year's political discourse is a wider-world reminder of the ubiquitous lack of thought on the part of otherwise educated adults. We know more but are oddly - increasingly? - thoughtless. Why? Thinking, in the sense in which I am interested, is not mere mental work (or idle mental noodling). There is certainly lots of that going on everywhere. Thinking in the educational sense is not about doing one's work. Little thought need go into a typical course pacing guide or by a student in filling in a Venn diagram. Those are mental tasks. Such work cannot by itself yield a truly thinking person.

    This is a great post on how to guide students to write powerful comments. Something that I think we should start concentrating on now that we have the blogging thing up and running.

Movie Making and literacy skills | illegal harmonies - 0 views

  • But beyond that againg there is the ideas of student centered learning. The kids are creating personal, meanigful things not another task set by the teacher. The teacher is acting merely as the facilitator, guiding the learning to a deeper place. The ownership of the product gives the students motivation and a greater sense of enjoyment which always enhances learning. In my role as teacher for this project I introduced the idea, showed them some simple concepts and ten basically handed it over to them, always assisting when needed and giving guidance when appropriate

      Great pedagogical practice. Student centred learning is what facilitates engagement, enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the content.
  • Creative expression is one of if not the most iportant part of life.  Humans have a desire to create and if we can use ICT to better enable children to do that while effectivly communicating their creations to others than that is fantastic.

      This is the essence of what teaching is about. Facilitating student creativity allowing them to decide what to create how to create it and when to create it. The teacher is merely the director pointing the student towards different paths but essentially allowing them to choose.

    Awesome blog post on Movie making and literacy skills. Some great pedagogy happening with this group of students. I really like Kynan's philosophy of letting the students learn rather than intervening with teacher direction. Final cut express is a rather complicated piece of software but it looks like these kids have eaten it for breakfast
