Digital Literacy Dover: The RAT, SAMr, Transformative Technology, & Occam's Razor - 2 views

  •  
    Starting in about week 2 the course asks folk to think about the value/nature/impact of uses of ICT in pedagogy. In prior offerings we've used the SAMR model as one way of thinking. I'm currently thinking of moving to the RAT or perhaps RATL model. This post expands on RAT and in particular has a go at explaining what is meant by transformation and also an interesting way of talking about how (or if) you progress through the levels. Good references as well.

The Wrath Against Khan: Why Some Educators Are Questioning Khan Academy - 0 views

  • But that's the crux of the problem right there: lecture-demonstrations. Although there's a tech component here that makes this appear innovative, that's really a matter of form, not content, that's new. There's actually very little in the videos that distinguishes Khan from "traditional" teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that's "learning." Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that's "drilling."

      So is this "replacement", "amplification" or "transformation"? At a base level it's amplification in that the learner can pause, rewind and replay. Not something they can do in typical lecture demonstrations.
  • They point to studies that find while students receive these sorts of videos positively, they are actually learning very little or learning very superficially
  • Physics teacher Frank Noschese, for example, contrasts the video of Khan's explanation of force with a video documenting his students' exploration of force through hands-on experimentation.

  • But as some people have found, this sort of reward system on Khan Academy may encourage completion of material for the sake of badges, rather than for the sake of learning itself.

      The ramifications of changes wrought by ICT can lead to unexpected consequences. Yes, students may be completing all of the Khan Academy activities, but are they learning? How long do they retain that learning?
  • Khan Academy has expanded from just creating videos to include a whole platform through which students can move through the content, including analytics for teachers and parents to track them
    • djplaner
       
      Replacement, amplification or transformation? Teachers should always have been tracking student progress. Khan Academy makes it much, much easier - so amplification. But Khan Academy also makes it easy for the parent's to track - amplification or transformation?
  •  
    Another article looking at the argument between those who see Khan Academy as "the bees-knees" and those who see some problems. There's a point about "lecture-demonstrations" (the model used by Khan) that is particularly relevant to this cause and the idea of the RAT framework.

Goodbye SAMR, Hello RATL! | IGNITEducation - 2 views

  • However the middle two levels of Augmentation and Modification are amorphous at best, at least when it is viewed from a classroom perspective.
  • to a classroom practitioner, the delineation may not be so clear. SAMR may function well as a model for researchers, but as a four point rubric for school districts, SAMR has been less effective than I had hoped.
  • In summary, SAMR gives educators poorly defined criteria while setting the goal at the very top of the framework.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Take note that the TARGET resides at level three, giving room for the student to excel
  •  
    Identifies some issues with SAMR model and proposes an extension to the RAT framework. Adds L for leadership to produce RATL.

  • Diigo, WebQuests and many others) to help the teacher prepared, then there's a change of some amplification
    • w0068493
       
      look at how to use webquest and diigo even consider using go animate - I guess that is on webquest
  • amplify the quantity and quality of the resources
  • there's nothing here that is transforming student learning
  • opportunity to help students develop their ICT general capabilities
  • Not something that would have been required
  •  
    just a reminder
