    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.

Assignment 1 reasons to use ICT

shared by georgiac94 on 04 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example, computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
  • Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.
  • Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often squandered).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology; therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.
  • ICT places all learners on an equal footing

      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.
  • Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed), enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and even choose what to learn
    • katrina carpenter

      This needs to be managed well as few students have the skills to fully manage what they are learning. Perhaps they do however the constraints of the curriculum require they cover set criteria. Choices are available but these still need to be guided and negotiated with the teacher

    The Week 2 activity in asked What's your pedagogy? got me thinking, I decided that building relationships with my students was extremely important to me. I agree with this article and Elena Aguilar shares a very similar pedagogy, her classroom is not just individual students, it's a community in which everyone belong
  • leonardf on 21 Mar 15
     
    Awesome question! I have a number of motto's but I think one stands tall amongst them all. We are all equal and put downs of course are not to be tolerated but I believe more focus on student fear of failure resulting in a lack of effort to succeed. There will be times in our career where we will witness students losing motivation due to ridicule from peers or even self-ridicule. More than once I have heard in a maths classroom a student admitting, "Oh I'm not good at maths", even when I can see that they are quite capable. Effectively the student is giving themself permission to fail. My moto is "THANKS FOR CORRECTING ME!" Too often students fear answering a questions in case they get it wrong, and some students will abuse others for their mistakes. It is a cultural attitude that is in the workplace as well as the classroom. If someone voices that they have discovered a mistake you have made, then that gives you the opportunity to correct yourself. If you cannot see the error, then it is an opportunity for them to teach you something new. It doesn't matter which way you look at it, mistakes should be celebrated as a collaborative learning opportunity, and as teachers we should encourage this.

    I like the way she describes her job- loves the kids but struggles with the job. This is interesting to me because I feel the same (don't know if it I for the same reasons) because I whole- heartedly believe in diversity and the individual child BUT I also know/ have seen how strict and institutionalised schools remain to be and this often gets in the way of the kind of teacher I thought I could be. It is interesting and worth thinking about though because I am sure we all want to help each child as much as we can but lack of time, resources and 'the halo effect' will get in the way at some point.

  • 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.

Analogue or Digital?

  • Now pretty much everything seems to be digital, from television and radio to music players, cameras, cellphones, and even books
  • we first convert the information into numbers (digits)
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 17 Feb 16
       
      It is during this conversion process that information can be lost. Depending on the process digital doesn't always capture all the gradations in analog data. Think of the difference between an analog clock (with an hour hand and a minute hand) and a digital clock (showing just hours and minutes). WIth a digital clock you can only ever see the exact minute 12:01am or 12:02am. The digital information doesn't show you the time between 1 minute past and 2 minutes past. But with an analog clock the minute hand is always moving. At halfway between 12:01 and 12:02 the minute hand will be halfway between the 1 and the 2 minute mark. If you look closely you will be able to see that it's halfway between.

    To me analogue means the old and digital means modern, and i am kicking myself because I knew on the quiz that the TV was not digital but because I thought of it as a way to communicate I ticked true. I have a digital watch (fitbit) and I wear my analogue one as it does not go flat on me, the joys of digital technology.

    I actually thought similar to Susan, hence why I also chose true for the television question. I assumed ICT was any means of relaying information or delivery information, other than books or paper articles. Definitely a lot to learn regarding ICT

    What being digital means Being digital means more and more ICT devices are far more instant. They need to be mastered because this is the world we live in now even though there is still room for analog technology. ICT devices are all digital and is widely used in school and society itself.

    The teachers using effective pedagogy to help students in mastering ICT devices needs to be put into consideration in our local schools and community. The more ICT devices are explicitly taught, the more school community and activities around ICT become accessible in our classroom.

    An interesting read, science against individual learning styles in schools. I was quite surprised to read this article, I think looking at ICTs it is relevant to share. I would love to hear some other thoughts on this. I believe the use of ICT within the classroom helps us to time and cost efficiently and effectively deliver a multiliterate pedagogy and curriculum which supports individual learning styles. Surely if we can create a classroom that is multiliterate including ICT to support and enhance learning we are able to meet the learning styles of all learners? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. onlinestudymummy

    I came across a fantastic app for students called 'Popplet' which is a tool for students to make graphic organizers to visually represent their ideas and thoughts on a particular topic. This app can be used for sharing and collaborating and is an effective pedagogical tool to use in all learning areas.

    I used Popplet the first time last week during class and I must say, it is a fantastic app. The students enjoyed brainstorming ideas through the use of this digital tool and were probably the most quiet they'd been all week. I will definitely be exploring this app in greater depth and using it in the classroom whenever the opportunity arises. Thankyou for sharing.

growthmindset dweck theory

shared by djplaner on 22 Aug 15 - No Cached
  • (if you’re not familiar with it, growth mindset is the belief that people who believe ability doesn’t matter and only effort determines success are more resilient, skillful, hard-working, perseverant in the face of failure, and better-in-a-bunch-of-other-ways than people who emphasize the importance of ability. Therefore, we can make everyone better off by telling them ability doesn’t matter and only hard work does
  • Good research shows that inborn ability (including but not limited to IQ) matters a lot, and that the popular prejudice that people who fail just weren’t trying hard enough is both wrong and harmful.
  • A rare point of agreement between hard biodeterminists and hard socialists is that telling kids that they’re failing because they just don’t have the right work ethic is a crappy thing to do. It’s usually false and it will make them feel terrible. Behavioral genetics studies show pretty clearly that at least 50% of success at academics and sports is genetic; various sociologists have put a lot of work into proving that your position in a biased society covers a pretty big portion of the remainder. If somebody who was born with the dice stacked against them works very hard, then they might find themselves at A2 above. To deny this in favor of a “everything is about how hard you work” is to offend the sensibilities of sensible people on the left and right alike
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 23 Aug 15
       
      The point I take from this is that not "everything" is about how hard you work. There are other more important factors to be considered. And these factors mean that not everyone will be a genius in everything. But if you have to learn something (e.g. using ICTs to enhance/transform student learning) then spending the necessary time in an effective way to learn that skill is more likely to help you learn, than simply saying "I can't do it".
