PKM and Reflection: Types of reflective writing - 1 views

  •  
    "Type Description Descriptive writing Not reflective. Description of events that occurred/report of literature. No attempt to provide reasons/justification for events. Descriptive reflection Reflective, not only a description of events but some attempt to provide reason/justification for events or actions but in a reportive or descriptive way. For example, "I chose this problem-solving activity because I believe that students should be active rather than passive learners". Recognition of alternate viewpoints in the research and literature which are reported. For example, Tyler (1949), because of the assumptions on which his approach rest suggests that the curriculum process should begin with objectives. Yinger (1979), on the other hand argues that the "task" is the starting point. Two forms: Reflection based generally on one perspective/factor as rationale. Reflection is based on the recognition of multiple factors and perspectives Dialogic reflection Demonstrates a "stepping back" from the events/actions leading to a different level of mulling about, discourse with self and exploring the experience, events, and actions using qualities of judgements and possible alternatives for explaining and hypothesising. Such reflection is analytics or/and integrative of factors and perspectives and may recognise inconsistencies in attempting to provide rationales and critique, for example. While I planned to use mainly written text materials I became aware very quickly that a number of students did not respond to these. Thinking about this now there may have been several reasons for this. A number of students, while reasonably proficient in English, even though they had been NESB learners, may still have lacked some confidence in handling the level of language in the text. Alternatively, a number of students may have been visual and tactile learners. In any case I found that I had to employ more concrete activities in my teaching. Critical reflection Demonstrates an aware

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.

Reflection increases learning - research findings - 3 views

  •  
    Article reporting on what is apparently the "first empirical test of the effect of reflection on learning". It found that learners given time to reflect performed 18% and 23% better than learners who were not given time to reflect on what they'd learned. The study also found that there was no significant difference between reflecting on what was learned and having to teach it to someone else. I do wonder whether the ability of the learners to reflect played any part in the improvements gained? Would guidance on how to reflect improve performance more? Obvious links to both this course and the learning journal, but also for you to ponder in terms of your own learners.

Eucharist is the primary and indispensable source of nourishment for the spiritual life of believers.
  • In a time of great challenge and change (c.1918 CE to the present), the Church had to respond philosophically and theologically to unprecedented threats to both human ecology and environmental ecology from science, technology, materialism, consumerism and political ideologies.

  •  
    Journal paper that talks about a particular use of ICT in learning. May be referenced a bit in the week 2 learning path to touch on "why" ICT is used with pedagogy. *Abstract* Slowmation is a twenty-first century digital literacy educational tool. This teaching and learning tool has been incorporated as an assessment strategy in the curriculum area of science and mathematics with pre-service teachers (PSTs). This paper explores two themes: developing twenty-first century digital literacy skills and modelling best practice assessment tools. In the growing debate about the impact of multi-model representations, researchers such as Hoban and Nielsen, and Brown, Murcia and Hackling emphasise the development of conceptual understandings and semiotics. This paper focuses on PSTs' experiences of and reflections on Slowmation as an educational tool. Data was collected from a cohort of final year PSTs who created, presented and reflected on their Slowmation process.

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.

The Overselling of Ed Tech - Alfie Kohn - 2 views

    • djplaner
       
      'd sugest that "it depends" includes consideration of the "somewhere" in which it is being used. The class, the learners, the teacher(s), what is being learned..
  • But the rationale that I find most disturbing — despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that it’s rarely made explicit — is the idea that technology will increase our efficiency

      The "theory" method from the Why (not) framework can help inform this, but you do need to question your deeper assumptions about this question. Of course, the problem you face is that the "way things are done" impacts this greatly and can limit what you can question

      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • Despite corporate-style declarations about the benefits of “innovation” and “disruption,” new forms of technology in the classroom mesh quite comfortably with an old-school model that consists of pouring a bunch o’ facts into empty receptacles

      i.e. horsey horseless carriage thinking
  • Far more common, in any case, are examples of technology that take for granted, and ultimately help to perpetuate, traditional teacher-centered instruction that consists mostly of memorizing facts and practicing skills
    • djplaner
       
      This is where we can have some argument. There is some value in doing this type of stuff as long as there is amplification going on AND it's part of a broader move from traditional forms of learning to different types of learning. I'm also troubled by the "one size fits all" approach to this. "Nothing works everywhere".
  • According to an article in Education Week, “a host of national and regional surveys suggest that teachers are far more likely to use tech to make their own jobs easier and to supplement traditional instructional strategies than to put students in control of their own learning.

Students are able to answer various questions, and through this identify and reflect on how well their learning is going within a topic. I will probably blog about this in my assignment as it is an excellent resource that I've used before.
