Skwirk and flexible learning - 0 views

  •  
    I found this website and after watching some demonstrations of how skwirk works, it does get me excited to go into the classroom. I still feel quite out of my depth but I can clearly see how something like Skwirk can enhance lessons. Skwirk also has a facebook page I have 'liked' to ensure I get all the updates.

Application of the SAMR model | isupport - 4 views

  • These processes are ingrained and simple. The devices we use are all around us, they are ubiquitous and the outcomes obtainable.
    • djplaner
       
      In other words, the technology has become mythic (in the sense suggested by Postman's 5 things to know about technological change)
    • Leigh Campbell
       
      Does this imply that there will be a time where the subject ICT and pedagogy won't be necessary?
    • djplaner
       
      That Leigh, is a very good question. One we'll pick up on in coming weeks (if not before)
    • Teagan Childs
       
      Very good question Leigh!
    • djplaner
       
      In short, I think there will be a time when a course like ICT and Pedagogy won't be needed.
  • Dr Puentedura displayed this brilliant slide introducing the SAMR Ladder, and offered the following advice.
    • djplaner
       
      Click on the image below and read the "SAMR ladder".  These will be useful questions to ask yourself over the coming weeks.
  • What is it that you have always wanted to accomplish in terms of educational goals that you couldn’t accomplish before?

  • Technology is used a lot but only in low level uses (ie Facebook, and Google search). If asked to perform a “complex” task such as creating a presentation or editing a photograph most teachers would come unstuck.
    • djplaner
       
      Does this apply to you? Has your studies given you an opportunity to move beyond?
    • Nicole Hunter
       
      I have used new software and packages during my uni course that I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. It is great to be pushed into that uncomfortable stage while learning a new program but the achievement feeling when you have worked it out is great and very rewarding. There is so much out there that could be used in the classroom but you need to seek it out!
    • Ali Meadows
       
      Until I started EDC3100 I wouldn't have considered myself a 'low level user'. I am however making progress. It is challenging at times since there are so many resources that can be applied. Without this course I would have been in the dark about the possibilities.
  • We know when we have achieved successful technology integration: it is when we use technology without even thinking about it.
    • Kate Dugdale
       
      I love this.  Successful technology integration is when it is just part of what we do.  Like postman's ecological thinking. 
  • as technology evolves we must evolve too

Growing Up Digital, Wired for Distraction - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Research also shows that students often juggle homework and entertainment.
  • At Woodside, as elsewhere, students’ use of technology is not uniform. Mr. Reilly, the principal, says their choices tend to reflect their personalities.
  • The technology has created on campuses a new set of social types — not the thespian and the jock but the texter and gamer, Facebook addict and YouTube potato. “The technology amplifies whoever you are,” Mr. Reilly says.

  • “Downtime is to the brain what sleep is to the body,” said Dr. Rich of Harvard Medical School. “But kids are in a constant mode of stimulation.”
  • “The headline is: bring back boredom,” added Dr. Rich, who last month gave a speech to the American Academy of Pediatrics entitled, “Finding Huck Finn: Reclaiming Childhood from the River of Electronic Screens.”
  • Dr. Rich said in an interview that he was not suggesting young people should toss out their devices, but rather that they embrace a more balanced approach to what he said were powerful tools necessary to compete and succeed in modern life.
  • “Today mixing music, tomorrow sound waves and physics,” he says. And he thinks the key is that they love not just the music but getting their hands on the technology. “We’re meeting them on their turf.”
  • Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether embracing computers is the right solution.
  •  
    A rather long but in-depth article about the double-edged sword of technology in schools. A very interesting read about teaching effective use of technology, and the importance of balance in our lives.

  • I'd prefer young people to have the skills that keep them sceptical, critical and independent.
  • but share, discuss, communicate, even hang out in coffee shops.
    • alicefoddy
       
      I would argue that this is the attitude of the 21st century as well.
  • where all of this is banned
    • alicefoddy
       
      Maybe we need to change the classroom environment to cater for this. 
  • Not one single teacher in the schools my sons attended has an email address available for parents. I’ve attended innumerable educational conferences where only a handful of the participants used Twitter.
    • alicefoddy
       
      This I find quite shocking. 
  • Across the world young people have collaborated on Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to bring down entire regimes and force political change. Not one of them has been on a digital literacy course. And, in any case, who are these older teachers who know enough about digital literacy to teach these young people? And how do they teach it – through collaborative, communication on media using social media – NO. By and large, in educational institutions, this stuff is shunned, restricted, even banned. We learn digital literacy by doing, largely outside of academe.
  • Was there a sudden break between these skills in the last century compared to this century? No. What’s changed is the need to understand the wider range of possible communication channels. This comes through mass adoption and practice, not formal education.
  • I’ve seen no evidence that teachers have the disposition, or training, to teach these skills.
  •  
    This Blog argues against the need to teach 21st century skills. It's a little controversial, what do you think?

The 360 Teacher - 2 views

  •  
    This is a primary school teacher whom i know personally. She began her career as a teacher soon after graduating high school - a dream job for her. Years later in her life she took a break from the classroom to run a family business. She has now done a complete 360 and has put her teaching hat back on once again. She quotes: "Well after having my first day back in the classroom I am SO HAPPY because I know I am doing the right thing for me. I had a wonderful day and I now know how much I actually missed being a teacher. Today was a big step in a new chapter that involves lots of learning for me but I am doing that through fresh and keen eyes and I am very excited!!" This woman is very inspiring and easily someone you can lean on for support. An asset to any classroom or workplace!

The Electronic Digital Computer - How It Started, How It Works and What It Does - NYTim... - 7 views

  • Whether it is solving a differential equation on the motion of charged particles or keeping track of a nuts-and-bolts inventory, the digital computer functions fundamentally as a numerical transformer of coded information. It takes sets of numbers, processes them as directed and provides another number or set of numbers as a result
  • Among the characteristics that make it different are the flexibility with which it can be adapted generally to logical operations, the blinding speed with which it can execute instructions that are stored within its memory, and its built-in capacity to carry out these instructions in sequence automatically and to alter them according to a prescribed plan.
  • Despite its size and complexity, a computer achieves its results by doing a relatively few basic things. It can add two numbers, multiply them, subtract one from the other or divide one by the other. It also can move or rearrange numbers and, among other things, compare two values and then take some pre-determined action in accordance with what it finds.

  • For all its transistor chips, magnetic cores, printed circuits, wires, lights and buttons, the computer must be told what to do and how
    • djplaner
       
      Increasingly there are algorithms that mean that the computer doesn't need to be told what to do. It is capable of learning. For example, in the past computers couldn't drive cars on the road. To do this the computer would have to be told how to do everything - accelerate, turn, how far to turn etc. The new algorithms are such that a computer (actually probably many computers) can drive a car without being told what to do (not a perfect analogy, but hopefully useful)
  • If the data put into the machine are wrong, the machine will give the wrong answer
  • Developing the software is a very expensive enterprise and frequently more troublesome than designing the actual "hardware
  • o specify 60,000 instructions
    • djplaner
       
      Facebook reportedly has at least 62 million lines of code (instructions) to make all of its features work.
  • This requires an input facility that converts any symbols used outside the machine (numerical, alphabetical or otherwise) into the proper internal code used by the machine to represent those symbols. Generally, the internal machine code is based on the two numerical elements 0 and 1
    • djplaner
       
      This applies to any data that an ICT uses - pictures, sound etc. It has to be converted into 0s and 1s (binary digits) that software can then manipulate
  • The 0's and 1's of binary notation represent the information processed by the computer, but they do not appear to the machine in that form. They are embodied in the ups and downs of electrical pulses and the settings of electronic switches inside the machine
  • The computational requirements are handled by the computer’s arithmetic-logic unit. Its physical parts include various registers, comparators, adders, and other "logic circuits."
    • djplaner
       
      This is the bit of the ICT that does the manipulation. Everything you do to manipulate data (e.g. apply Instagram filters) is reduced down to operations that an arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) - or similar - can perform
