    The role technology can play in expanding the time during which learning can take place.
  • James Glanville on 19 Dec 11
     
    Another article about "expanded learning time" both online and via community-based "brick and mortar" locations like libraries, YMCA, and Boys & Girls Clubs. "Out-of-school programs can be strong partners for schools who want to leverage expanded learning time to help their students achieve global competence. Youth-serving organizations share the broad mission to promote student success in work and life in the 21st century. Out-of-school program organization and management is often based on an asset model that values diversity. In order to attract and retain participants, out-of-school programs are centered around youth engagement through hands-on and experiential learning, often with a focus on 21st century skills, service learning, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, and others."

    This article discusses one school's plan to implement effective learning technologies into the classroom. They looked at examples that were working in other parts of the world and incorporated them into their idea which includes many augmented reality applications. They discuss the divide between using technology effectively in our personal lives and not in education, so the classroom remains the same as it has been for 100 years. As we have discussed in class, the education system must use technology in the classroom to help prepare students for jobs that require skills adaptable to technologies that do not yet exist.

    This is a great resource to check out some ideas of how to assess 21st century skills. (This is in reference to our conversation in the section on Monday.) The rubric on the page (you can download it) uses the following categories as: Expertise (in at least one domain), Inquisitiveness (Exhibition of curiosity, inquisitiveness, wonder, openness and excitement), Flexiblity (and adaptability), Ambiguity (toleration of and response to ambiguity), Unique Ideas (original, unique and cogent ideas, phrasing and products)

    From the Orlando Sentinel, 1985: Although they have not solved how to keep students interested in certain subjects, computers are proving to be highly acceptable motivational tools in all grades at Seminole County schools. Unlike video games that provide only entertainment, computers in the classroom are used as a teaching resource to reinforce development skills for elementary and middle school students and for those with learning deficiencies....

      Are the speed and brevity of these messages bypassing the potential exploration of a certain topic area in-depth, or is very topic only superficial?

      Search engines do the work for us.  We don't even need to know how to find the information ourselves these days.
  • What's more, this feature enables truly personalized discovery by taking into account your search history, location and other factors -- Google is essentially emulating social networks by trying to predict what we're looking for without the need to submit a fully-formed search
  • The next step of search is doing this automatically. When I walk down the street, I want my smartphone to be doing searches constantly: 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?' 'Did you know ... ?

      Devon Dickau on 12 Sep 10
       
      In thinking about evolving technology in terms of both formal and informal education, I question whether or not constant and immediate access to information is improving or harming individual knowledge.  By this I mean that because we can so easily search for something online, what motivation is there to actually know anything.  If we have Wikipedia on our phones, and know HOW to find it, can't we just spend 30 seconds finding the page and "know" something for topic of conversation, or a test?  What is the point, then, or learning, of retaining knowledge?  I feel that this may be a problem in coming generations.  What knowledge will our students actually feel they need to retain? I took solace in the fact that at least we have to learn and teach HOW to find the information, but with new technologies like predictive and instant searching, it almost seems like that is a skill that will soon become unneeded as well.  We might as well just be physically plugged in to the Internet with access to all information simultaneously. Thoughts from the group?

  • The use of smarter technology in assessments,” Mr. Duncan said, “makes it possible to assess students by asking them to design products of experiments, to manipulate parameters, run tests and record data.
  • not only end-of-year tests similar to those in use now but also formative tests that teachers will administer several times a year to help guide instruction
  • In performance-based tasks, which are increasingly common in tests administered by the military and in other fields, students are given a problem — they could be told, for example, to pretend they are a mayor who needs to reduce a city’s pollution — and must sift through a portfolio of tools and write analytically about how they would use them to solve the problem.
  • Eric Kattwinkel on 05 Sep 10
     
    $330 million given to 44 states to design new computer-based assessments that will "measure higher-order skills...including students' ability to read complex texts, synthesize information and do research projects."

shared by Devon Dickau on 05 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • The most high-tech classrooms in India are not at a university but at a technology company's training facility.
  • To make up for those perceived deficiencies, Indian companies spent more than $1-billion last year on corporate-training programs for new employees, according to an industry group that has been pushing for change at universities.
  • Each classroom bears the name of a famous innovator—Archimedes, J.P. Morgan, Steve Jobs. In a morning class in the Benjamin Franklin classroom, I observed about 100 students learning the Unix programming language. Each seat had its own PC, and most students had opened a copy of the instructor's PowerPoint presentation and followed along on their own screen, sometimes scrolling back to see what they had missed, sometimes looking ahead.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The trainees, called "freshers" because they are fresh out of college,
  • The trainees said that their undergraduate teaching had been delivered mostly in chalk-and-talk form, with the professor lecturing at the front of the classroom. A few professors had tried PowerPoint, they said, but even that was unusual.
  • "More technology would have meant a lot more knowledge."
  • It turns out, how wired the classrooms are is not the point—the style of teaching is much slower to change than the gear in the rooms.
  • Devon Dickau on 05 Oct 10
     
    Indian college classrooms have not integrated technology into learning and teaching, so private companies - teaching the skills needed to perform in their specific career paths - are taking the lead, showing that universities need to catch up.
