Technology for positive: Using Technology to Differentiate Instruction - 1 views
-
"One of the major benefits of using technology in the classroom is the ability to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student in every lesson. Just as every student grows and develops at different rates, they learn in different ways and at different speeds. Technology makes it possible to pace lessons appropriately for each student's learning level and can be used to promote learning in the multiple intelligences. Below you will find website suggestions that address the different learning styles in your classroom with the help of technology: Verbal-Linguistic These learners enjoy learning through speaking, writing, reading, and listening. In the classroom setting these students shine when given tasks such as taking notes, researching, listening, reading for information, and writing. Websites to encourage learning for Verbal-Linguistic students: 1. http://wordle.net Allow students to express themselves creatively with words 2. http://ed.voicethread.com Capture student voices with audio, text, pictures , and video 3. http://zoho.com- A free online word processor, and presentation tool 4. http://gcast.com- Students can podcast (voice recording) online. 5. http://kerpoof.com - Students can create stories or mini- movies 6. http://www2.shidonni.com- Students create animated stories 7. http://tickatok.com Students can create stories and turn them into a book 8. http://pbskids.org/wordworld A world where words come alive 9. http://readwritethink.org 52 interactive activities related to reading, writing, and speaking 10. http://speakaboos.com Students can read stories online, record their own story and play literacy games Logical-Mathematical These learners love numbers, reasoning, and problem solving.

There's a OECD report going around at the moment that suggests that computers do not improve pupil results. This post comments on that report and suggests there are some major questions about it's ability to draw that conclusion.

Assessment: Assignment 1 - 29 views
-
Average length of blog posts at least 100 words.
-
Average length = total length of all your blog posts for the 3 weeks / by the number of blog posts e.g. if you made 9 blog posts with a total word length of 1800 words. Then your average word length is Avge = 1800 / 9 Avge = 200 200 is greater than 100, so this criteria is met.
-
There is no maximum word limit for your posts. The length stated here is the minimum expected. Feel free to reflect and share as much as you like via your blog.
-
-
60% or more of the blog posts contain links to online resources
-
More than two posts contain links to posts from other EDC3100 students.
-
Let's assume you've posted 10 posts for weeks 1, 2 and 3. At least 2 of those posts should contain a link to a post of another EDC3100 student blog. The assumption is that you will also use that link as a basis for commenting on the other student's ideas.
-
So I did post on my blog last week and linked to some resources but didn't link to any other students. That is fine as long as I make it up in week 2 and 3, right?

The links also have to be within the blog posts and not in your blog roll. The automated system only sees your blog posts, not your blog roll. As a rule of them, the reader of your post has to be able to access/use the resource from your post. i.e. a reference isn't enough. It has to be a link that they can click on. The standard expectation is that the content of your blog post will contain links to other resources. This following blog post http://davidtjones.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/how-are-they-going/

-
An exceptional artefact will be an online resource that has been implemented without any errors, makes effective - even innovative - use of the online environment to capture the attention of the viewer/reader and show them a logically structured, well supported and illustrated set of reasons for using ICTs in **your** teaching. Emphasis on **your** teaching, not mine, not some textbooks, but yours.
-
-
At least 2 blog posts each week.
-
If you got off to a slow start (i.e. didn't post much to your blog in week 1 of semester), don't worry. As long as you start posting regularly by the end of week 2 (or so) and reach an appropriate total (e.g. 3 weeks by 3 posts = 9 posts). Then you will get the appropriate mark. As semester progresses, however, there will be an expectation that posts will come more regularly. Also, if you write 9 posts 5 minutes before the end of week 3, some questions may be asked.
-
-
Use contextually appropriate example(s) to illustrate those reasons.
-
This thread on the discussion forum provides some more explanation of where/how you might find examples of ICT use that are linked to your context.
-
You should not be creating these examples. The examples should be existing examples you have found during this course or in previous courses. The examples should be as close to the context you are talking about and they should illustrate how the reasons you've provided can be fulfilled.

Connectivism: A learning theory for the Digital Age - 3 views

We can no longer personally experience and acquire learning that we need to act. We derive our competence from forming connections.

Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.
-
Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
-
When knowledge, however, is needed, but not known, the ability to plug into sources to meet the requirements becomes a vital skill.
-
Connectivism presents a model of learning that acknowledges the tectonic shifts in society where learning is no longer an internal, individualistic activity. How people work and function is altered when new tools are utilized
-
Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.
