After 20 years, a teacher reinvents her classroom using technology - The Hechinger Report - 2 views

  • She developed a new style of teaching that gives students a mix of technology and small-group instruction. Online tools, most of them free, helped her customize lessons for students. She periodically checks progress through the year to adjust.
  • That’s not to say the transition was easy or the results perfect. Hawkins considers her classroom a work in progress. She continues to remodel it to fit the needs of the school day and her students
  • Another challenge: Managing the multiple online platforms, such as quizzes, learning games and online grade reporting for parents. Data on the websites she uses aren’t connected so Hawkins has to juggle them to monitor how her students are progressing

      Another example of the need for "digital renovation" the ability to bring these disparate data sources together

    Article describing how on US-based 5th grade teacher is using technology to create a "blended" approach to learning that apparently allows more catering to the different capabilities of her students. Some linked to the approach used in EDC3100 as explained in the first (and last) Toowoomba lecture.

Educational Leadership:Feedback for Learning:Seven Keys to Effective Feedback - 5 views

  •  
    Lot of insights in here that EDC3100 needs to take to heart.
  •  
    I recall seeing this in another course and kept the link in my UNI FAVOURITES folder (which is now a fairly sizable resource...). Two things I took again from this article, was 1. The joy of going back and listening to John Hattie and 2. the Feedback Essentials - "Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person, helpful feedback is goal-referenced; tangible and transparent; actionable; user-friendly (specific and personalized); timely; ongoing; and consistent. I always kept this in the back of my mind and it never fails to flag when FEEDBACK is mentioned.

Conceptual Change - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology - 1 views

  • Teaching for conceptual change primarily involves 1) uncovering students' preconceptions about a particular topic or phenomenon and 2) using various techniques to help students change their conceptual framework
  • However, outside of school, students develop strong (mis)conceptions about a wide range of concepts related to non-scientific domains, such as how the government works, principles of economics, the utility of mathematics, the reasons for the Civil Rights movement, the nature of the writing process, and the purpose of the electoral college
  • Conceptual change is not only relevant to teaching in the content areas, but it is also applicable to the professional development of teachers and administrators
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • In the early 1980's, a group of science education researchers and science philosophers at Cornell University developed a theory of conceptual change (Posner, Strike, Hewson, & Gertzog, 1982)
  • Researchers have found that learners' preconceptions can be extremely resilient and resistant to change,
  • Affective, social, and contextual factors also contribute to conceptual change. All of these factors must be considered in teaching or designing learning environments that foster conceptual change (Duit, 1999).
  • Teaching for conceptual change requires a constructivist approach in which learners take an active role in reorganizing their knowledge.
  • That is, learners must become dissatisfied with their current conceptions and accept an alternative notion as intelligible, plausible, and fruitfu
  • Nussbaum and Novick (1982): Reveal student preconceptions Discuss and evaluate preconceptions Create conceptual conflict with those preconceptions Encourage and guide conceptual restructuring
  •  
    Introduces the idea of conceptual change in the context of science. During week 1 of EDC3100 we will be looking at conceptual change as it applies to learning how to use an ICT.

Mind Amplifier: Howard Rheingold And The Value Of Convivial Tools - Forbes - 0 views

  • his is a helpful thought in a society that has placed more attention on the fact of digital technologies (the new iPhone!) than on what we do with them
  • but all technologies, to some degree or another, are enmeshed in what Langdon Winner calls ‘regimes,
  • Design of tools has—as Illich pointed out—been accomplished in the absence of any consideration of their effects on social, cognitive, and political regimes. Designers can be better educated. And so can the users of their tools
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The old model of learning—the sage on the stage—is being challenged by cooperative forms of co-learning in which teachers act as facilitators and students use the tools available, from search engines to smartphones, to learn collaboratively, with teachers acting as facilitators
  • The whole notion of meta-cognition, of treating attention as a trainable aspect of everyday thought, is a potential new discipline
  • He is developing tools for “knowledge design” that both help individuals capture and manipulate what they know, but that also help connect individual intelligence to different models and sources of knowledge.

    Howard Rheingold has written about the use of digital technologies for learning and other tasks. In particular, the possibility that digital technologies can be mind amplifiers. Tools that enhance our ability to think and learn. Something EDC3100 will touch on in Week 3

Professional development to enhance teachers' practices in using information and commun... - 12 views

  •  
    Hi All, I found this article to be very pertinent to this weeks content in EDC3100. I hope some of you can benefit as well: ABSTRACT (Copied from Sciencedirect) Technology integration in K-12 classrooms is usually overly teacher-centered and has insufficient impact on students' learning, especially in enhancing students' higher-order cognitive skills. The purpose of this project is to facilitate science teachers' use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as cognitive tools to shift their practices from traditional teacher-centered methods to constructivist, student-centered ones. This paper describes the outcomes and lessons learned from an application of design-based research (DBR) in the implementation and refinement of a teacher professional development (PD) program that is a key component of the overall project. This DBR study involved 25 middle-school science teachers from 24 schools whose implementation of cognitive tools with their students in science classrooms and virtually through a social networking site were observed over four years. A mixed-methodology was utilized to examine the impact of the cognitive tools intervention on teachers' classroom practices and students' development of new literacy skills. Identifying reusable design principles related to technology integration was another focus of the DBR study. The results revealed teachers' positive changes in their classroom practices by gradually allowing students to take control over the use of technology, and positive impact on students' ICT skills and science learning. Design principles for future professional development programs aimed at preparing teachers to adopt a cognitive tools approach are described.

Five apps for integrating ICT into the classroom - 2 views

  •  
    Interesting article on how apps are being trailed in classrooms in 2013. Five apps are recommended and I have had positive experiences with Edmodo in particular as it is being used by my sons teachers.
  •  
    Thanks you for posting this! I found it really helpful and interesting. Must just buy some of those apps now!
  •  
    Thanks Taylor. I saw some of your suggestions too and am adding your Brain pop resource to my tool belt. I have seen this used in classrooms- very effective on smart boards especially for visual and kinaesthetic learners. I saw Brain pop used for a Unit on 'tall buildings'. The explanations, quiz, printout and games were a very engaging part of the lesson.
