Digital Nutrition: for a balanced, healthy tech lifestyle - Blog - 1 views

www.digitalnutrition.com.au/blog balanced tech lifestyle education
shared by Suzanne Usher on 29 Aug 15 - No Cached
  • Just like with diets and food nutrition we would benefit from considering how we can create digital lifestyles which support our whole wellbeing.  There are occasions which we might indulge in some mental candy, we might need to use technology to relax and unwind – but when we use it to cope in a way which distracts us from dealing with the issue, problems arise. Using the word addiction in this conversation stigmatises technology users and the challenges facing parents and educators to effectively integrate technology into both leisure and learning in a balanced way that is tailored to the needs of individuals.

Behavior Management Software - ClassDojo - 2 views

    This software is currently being used at my children's school. It is like an electronic version of giving out 'stickers', etc for good behaviour. Each day I can see how well my children performed in the classroom and each week a report is generated and emailed to me. This is used in conjunction with an interactive whiteboard, where the children can touch their name/dojo character and give themselves a point for hard work, etc.

    Magical idea, Luv it. Will save a small fortune for teachers worldwide, as we tend to buy these incentives from our own back pockets in an attempt to engage kids in our classes. Even as a pre-service teacher the little buggers have already cost me......

    This is the Blog of Leanora Donnelly a special education teacher with whom I have had the pleasure of working. She is passionate about inclusion and differentiation, interests I also share. Whilst this blog focuses on popular culture it does talk about how the inclusion of pop culture through the use of ICTs can enrich the educational experiences of students and teachers and even the playing field for students with disability and other diverse learners.

  • Toolbelt Theory is based in the concept that students must learn to assemble their own readily available collection of life solutions.
  • Task1. What needs to be done? (when possible, break the task down into component parts)
  • Environment1. Where must this be done (or is typically done)?2. Under what time constraints?3. What is the standard method of task completion?4. How does the person with the disability interact within this environment?5. Who is the task being done for? (specifics of teacher, employer, other expectations)

  • Tools1. What tool best "bridges the gap" between the current skill set and what is needed for task completion?2. If the tool is not already "in the toolbox" (the person has been successfully trained in its use), how does the environmental timeline match with the needed learning curve?3. If it is not possible to use the "best tool" within this environment what is the "back-up tool"? How do we pre-train so the best tool can be used the next time?
  • Skills1. What specific strengths does the person with the disability bring to this task?2. What specific weaknesses interfere with that person's ability to complete the task?3. What is that person's "tool acquisition aptitude" and what tools are they currently comfortable with?
  • must be preparing students to use the technology that will be around in the next decade.
  • The goal is to empower students to continuously assess their changing needs and the ever changing technological environment that surrounds them, and allow them to build their own toolbelts of appropriate solutions to their life challenges.
  • Toolbelt Theory" suggests that we must teach our students how to analyze tasks, the task-completion environment, their own skills and capabilities, an appropriate range of available tools… and let them begin to make their own decisions.

  • Effective Teaching Strategies for Special Education
  • Working with Short Attention Spans Set clear expectations for all students. Break assignments into smaller pieces to work on in short time periods. Space breaks between assignments so students can refocus on their tasks. Share ideas with parents so they can help with homework. Carry out everyday routines consistently. Develop a reward system for good behavior, completing work on time and participating in class. Use visual and auditory reminders to change from one activity to the next. This may need to be done several times before the change is made. An egg timer is a good auditory tool that indicates a signal to begin or end an activity
  • Managing Constant Change
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Design teaching aids and lessons that are flexible. Add creativity to lessons and homework. Develop easy-to-use monitoring tools that are needs-based. Design lesson plans that can be modified to fit each student. Develop a set of resources and interventions that work.
  • Teaching Effectively
  • Use a multiple-scenario approach to developing lesson plans. Monitor and verify student responses to lessons. Evaluate and adapt lessons as necessary. Use peers to review lesson plans and to develop ideas that might be applicable. Develop and maintain a pool of mentors. Keep a list of resources for teaching, lesson plans and professional development Set a professional development plan for yourself and track your goals Develop or implement a system that allows for easy and comprehensive data collection to help monitor and adapt lessons Gather some tricks of the trade from fellow teachers, including those who do not teach special education.

    A free course from Stanford University focused on how to learn mathematics as a student. The ICT connection is how they use ICTs to teach this Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). But beyond this, the course might be useful for those of you slightly phobic of maths and beyond that I'm sure there will be some interesting pedagogical suggestions you could pick up for your own teaching.

Lectures don't work, but we keep using them | News | Times Higher Education - 4 views

www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/...2009141.article evidence lectures
shared by djplaner on 22 Feb 15 - No Cached
  • As learning gains are predicted by study hours, not by class hours, this argument would hold up only if lectures were good at increasing the former and they are not: indeed, the more lectures there are, the fewer learning hours each generates.
  • There are alternatives to lecturing that have a much better record of generating learning hours, and some cost nothing. The only potential problem is that they may require more effort from students
  • djplaner on 22 Feb 15
     
    Short article covering some of the research about the limitations of lectures. For example, "For some educational goals, no alternative has ever been discovered that is less effective than lecturing, including, in some cases, no teaching at all" But also making the broader point that research has yet to effectively explore all of the possible applications of lectures. An example of evidence that can be used to guide pedagogical decision making.
  • carlee0410 on 23 Feb 15
     
    An interesting article particularly comments made on study hours. My thoughts are that some learners do gain the most out of independent study and / or reading information whereas others achieve most in class listening to lectures... I don't agree that there is a 'one size fits all' approach rather that teaching should be delivered in multiple ways so as to meet the learning needs of a diverse student cohort.

      Maybe we need to change the classroom environment to cater for this. 
  • Not one single teacher in the schools my sons attended has an email address available for parents. I’ve attended innumerable educational conferences where only a handful of the participants used Twitter.
    • alicefoddy
      alicefoddy on 08 Mar 15
       
      This I find quite shocking. 
  • Across the world young people have collaborated on Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to bring down entire regimes and force political change. Not one of them has been on a digital literacy course. And, in any case, who are these older teachers who know enough about digital literacy to teach these young people? And how do they teach it – through collaborative, communication on media using social media – NO. By and large, in educational institutions, this stuff is shunned, restricted, even banned. We learn digital literacy by doing, largely outside of academe.
  • Was there a sudden break between these skills in the last century compared to this century? No. What’s changed is the need to understand the wider range of possible communication channels. This comes through mass adoption and practice, not formal education.
  • I’ve seen no evidence that teachers have the disposition, or training, to teach these skills.

    This Blog argues against the need to teach 21st century skills. It's a little controversial, what do you think?

    Interesting take on ICT role in the Australian curriculum stating it should be separately assessed. This is a good point but I still feel it integrates across all learning areas and needs to be up to the teacher how they use ICT. I agree though that a subject teaching the skills and workings of ICT is a good idea and there does seem a huge variation as to how much ICT is used in the classroom. This article may be a bit dated (2011)....

    Talks about the origin of an idea of a "reading" club that uses Twitter, rather than physical proximity as the connection. i.e. get a group of people to read the same article at the same time and use twitter to share their insights. And the idea of including the author. Wonder how this might apply to reading/literacy in a school setting?

    Research also suggests that educators help motivate students by using materials and implementing activities that students consider meaningful (Spratt, Humphreys, & Chan, 2002). As one of Pinkman's students wrote, "...once or twice a week I check my blog and then other students write comments for me, my motivation is up, usually teacher check my blog, so if I read teacher comments my teacher thought about me, my motivation up" (Pinkman, 2005, p. 20). Due to the popularity of computer and Internet technology and the growing interest in blogging, it was expected that our group of learners would also find the use of blogs in their English language study highly motivating.

      An obvious candidate for one of the reasons for using ICT.
  • The website Quia contains games that mimic popular games such as Battleship and Jeopardy. The teacher can type the worksheet questions into templates to quickly and easily create games for students to play during class or for homework. I personally would create these playsheets in the five-minute passing period before my students came into class. They would eagerly ask me to make playsheets.
