    A consideration of using Vine, Twitter's 6 second video platform, in the classroom. The embedded video is the most helpful bit.

Kids Tagged With RFID Chips? The Creepy New Technology Schools Use to Track Everything ... - 2 views

  •  
    In general, these systems consist of a school photo ID card affixed to a lanyard that is worn around the student's neck. The ID has a RFID chip embedded in it. The tag includes a digit number assigned to each student. As a student enters the school or pass beneath a doorway equipped with an RFID reader, the tag ID is read, recorded and sent to a server in the school's administrative office. The captured data not only provides an attendance list (sent to the teacher's PDA), but tracks the student's movement throughout the day.

    I like that it makes attendance easier to monitor but still seems kinda creepy...and there's always a way around those systems....

    Very cool embodied learning experience. Checkout the videos

    This is really cool. I think there are opportunities in this for math learning, and maybe even connecting physics to math. For example, I could see embedded learning being used for mathematical modeling, but I have not seen it being done yet.

    The last point this article makes is an interesting one: clearly the gaming folks were at the table when the iPhone 5 was designed but what about the education people? What would it look like if the new version of iOS had a learning management system embedded within the OS?

How Do We Train Teachers in Formative Assessment? - Teacher Beat - Education Week - 2 views

  •  
    "The best professional-development research shows that teachers need sustained contact hours (between 30 and 100) of training before altering their practices. So, she did a back-of-the envelope calculation about how much time it would take to implement 50 hours of formative-assessment training over the course of a school year...... Teachers would need about six hours a month, for eight months, which amounts to one early-close afternoon a month plus two additional hours. (Good luck with that in this economy.)"
  •  
    Perhaps this is where technology can play an enabling role. Easy to use and real-time tools like Socrative or technology based learning environments with embedded formative assessments (like my formative assessment design proposal for VPA) could help reduce the time / training barriers for teachers to incorporate formative assessment into the teaching practice. At the very least, new curriculum initiatives aligned with common core standards SHOULD BE REQUIRED to incorporate formative-assessments. Unfortunately on PARCC is. "Of the two assessment consortia, the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, is not developing formative-assessment resources as part of its federal grant. The other consortium, known as SMARTER Balanced, is."

Education Week sets up a new web channel for industry and innovation - 0 views

  •  
    Ed Week has set up a new page to cover the newest trends in educational technology and innovation in the classroom
  •  
    Janet, this is a really great channel for the avalanche of information out there. I especially found the interactive graphic (embedded link) on the Anatomy of EdTech start-up interesting because of the age distribution chart.

A low cost learning tablet that addresses a real problem: electric power - 3 views

  •  
    Here is another $35 tablet from Singapore called the I-slate. Every great solution has got to address a real pain - this learning tablet tackles the lack of electric power in several locations around the globe. There is some mention of what it can and cannot do on the technology front. The learning programs embedded are not elaborated.

Does your social class determine your online social network? - 1 views

  •  
    While not an emerging tehnology per se, social networks can serve as indicators of how, why and who is using and CREATING web content. I think the creation part of this exchange is key in that it ishere that the disruptive element of the technology comes into play. In my studies of Podcasts for the wiki assignment I found that many first time podcasters subscribers experimented with recording their own Podcast before becoming regular consumers. How does this relate to the facebook vs. myspace arguement, you ask? SImple, myspace is a more customizable portal/page that allows users to express and communicate their own, often marginalized socio-cultural identity. Facebook on the other hand asks users to define their online persona via 'freinds', shared photos, profile text fields, etc. For many recent immigrant and children, the formation and identification of an imagined community is an attractive thing. Somalian wallpaper, Manga flash videos embedded, Dominican Republic Flag .gifs waving all over..and MUSIC.
