Trump University's Online Materials Are a Lot Better Than Your University's Online Mate... - 0 views

  • Here’s a list of what you need, from some of Schank’s early 1990s work: Learning goals – target skills or understandings the student will grapple with Mission – objective the student will pursue Cover story – a fictional background story that provides a motivational context for the activity Role – the character a student will play in the simulation Scenario operations – the activities the student will perform to achieve mission, presented in optimal sequence. Resources – the reference materials the student will use to solve the problems presented Feedback – provided by experts (usually through video) but in just-in-time segments, usually telling stories about related experiences

Professional development to enhance teachers' practices in using information and commun... - 12 views

  •  
    Hi All, I found this article to be very pertinent to this weeks content in EDC3100. I hope some of you can benefit as well: ABSTRACT (Copied from Sciencedirect) Technology integration in K-12 classrooms is usually overly teacher-centered and has insufficient impact on students' learning, especially in enhancing students' higher-order cognitive skills. The purpose of this project is to facilitate science teachers' use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as cognitive tools to shift their practices from traditional teacher-centered methods to constructivist, student-centered ones. This paper describes the outcomes and lessons learned from an application of design-based research (DBR) in the implementation and refinement of a teacher professional development (PD) program that is a key component of the overall project. This DBR study involved 25 middle-school science teachers from 24 schools whose implementation of cognitive tools with their students in science classrooms and virtually through a social networking site were observed over four years. A mixed-methodology was utilized to examine the impact of the cognitive tools intervention on teachers' classroom practices and students' development of new literacy skills. Identifying reusable design principles related to technology integration was another focus of the DBR study. The results revealed teachers' positive changes in their classroom practices by gradually allowing students to take control over the use of technology, and positive impact on students' ICT skills and science learning. Design principles for future professional development programs aimed at preparing teachers to adopt a cognitive tools approach are described.

The "Immeasurable" Part 2 - 1 views

  •  
    A blog post that presents a graph giving one representation of where certain skills and knowledge sit along two axes - "difficulty to assess" and "learning in a networked world". The argument is that most assessment in formal education focuses on content knowledge and basic skills.  Rather than on more important but more difficult to assess knowledge and skills. It might not be 100% correct, but it's good food for thought. What are you teaching and assessing in your teaching?  What am I doing?

Virtual Tours - 4 views

  •  
    I discovered Virtual Tours while on prac in America. It was a great way to show my students some of Australia's sites and they loved being able to work through the images and information at their own pace. Since then I have toured museums and galleries from all over the world without even leaving my desk.
  •  
    Hi Tamara I looked at the site. Interesting - is it just still images though or are there actual virtual tours? I am keen on using the site but not sure I have the full idea/scope sorted out yet. Thank you http://mrsrobins.edublogs.org/ Jamie
  •  
    Hi Jamie, Yes for the most part this site comprises of still images and written information...I primarily chose this one to share as it provides a wide range of art galleries. With using gallery tours in my pracs I have found that the still images are easier for students to view, analyse and work through at their own pace than a video feed. There are a few video tours availbale...many can be found on the website for the specific location (I have had more luck finding American and British than Australian tours) but they are definitely worth a look at if you get the chance. http://tammyjoy.edublogs.org Tammy

    I got this from a website I am subscribed to - Gizmo freeware. We think that Google is the way to always find stuff, but try this and see what you get. You type in what you want to know, and a mind map opens up on the topic. You can then click on each bubble and it extends! Fantastic.

    Similar to a webquest-\In the school setting, an integrated teacher dashboard allows teachers to monitor the progess of each student, view their research activity, and view/comment on students' journals.

The Tail Wagging the Dog - Again! | Where 2 Now? - 6 views

  • Once this program has been implemented, how do we measure our success?
    • djplaner
       
      How will you measure the success of any attempt you make when integrating ICTs into your teaching?
    • Faeza ms
       
      Perhaps by reflecting on the way ICT has transformed the learning? In what ways has ICT integration improved the quality of the learning experience?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      Going on the last comment, I guess it goes back to 1 of the Postman's theory, about there being two sides to a story. For every advantage there is always a cost involved. How do you measure the success of ICT and what is the cost involved?
    • Brooke Clark
       
      I believe that you have succeeded in incorporating ICT's in your pedagogy when students are able to achieve outcomes that they may have otherwise struggled to achieve and when the ICT component adds to the learning experience rather than deducts from it.  When you make ICT the tool rather than the lesson.
    • Sue Day
       
      well stated! I agree on the importance of the ICTs being the tool!
  • Will any student learning objectives have even been considered? Eventually, maybe. But not until after the die has been cast, defining the hardware and software parameters that will make up “the solution”.
    • djplaner
       
      This is the "technology tail" wagging the "education dog".  Technology first, learning second.
    • Teresa Morgan
       
      I'm confused by this statement. Shouldn't learning come first and then technology to enhance the learning? I might just have to go back over and read this section again from week 3.
    • djplaner
       
      "Tail wagging the dog" is meant to indicate that it is the wrong way around. In theory education should come first.
  • One would expect that any educational organisation whose primary purpose is the delivery of education, would have learning outcomes at the heart of any planning process considering the distribution of such a large allocation of money.

  • Why can’t we build our school ICT infrastructure plans around the learning needs of students, and create a quality teaching environment and professional development program that supports these needs, rather than the other way around?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      I'm a little confused? isn't this supposed to be what we are trying to do. If using the tool belt theory, aren't we meant to TEST, whether our ICT's are applicable and most appropriate?

Sage on the Stage or Guide or the Side: Finding the Middle Ground - 1 views

  • White et al, argues that the belief systems of teachers form a barrier to new techniques and pedagogy. Moreover, they highlight research that indicates that the teaching style of individual teachers tends to reflect the “manner that they were taught during their own educational experiences (White et al, 2008, p. 41). As a result, White et al indicate that many teachers implement ideas based on their own experiences within a traditional, teacher-centred pedagogy.
