    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.

Connectivism: A learning theory for the Digital Age - 3 views

shared by Emma Smolenaers on 08 May 13 - Cached
  • We can no longer personally experience and acquire learning that we need to act. We derive our competence from forming connections.
  • “Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge
  • the connections that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Connectivism is driven by the understanding that decisions are based on rapidly altering foundations. New information is continually being acquired. The ability to draw distinctions between important and unimportant information is vital.
  • Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
  • Learning may reside in non-human appliances.
  • Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
  • Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning
  • Ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
  • Currency (accurate, up-to-date knowledge) is the intent of all connectivist learning activities.
  • Decision-making is itself a learning process. Choosing what to learn and the meaning of incoming information is seen through the lens of a shifting reality. While there is a right answer now, it may be wrong tomorrow due to alterations in the information climate affecting the decision.
  • Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today.
  • When knowledge, however, is needed, but not known, the ability to plug into sources to meet the requirements becomes a vital skill.
  • Connectivism presents a model of learning that acknowledges the tectonic shifts in society where learning is no longer an internal, individualistic activity. How people work and function is altered when new tools are utilized
  • Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.

  • 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.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • “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.
  • Suzanne Usher on 09 Sep 15
     
    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.

    This is a great tool...I have tested on my own kids lol. Just received an email recently stating that this app can now be used "school wide" as opposed to just in one classroom. Therefore teachers can share behaviour management strategies throughout the school.
