    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

Goodbye SAMR, Hello RATL! | IGNITEducation - 2 views

  • 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.

Analog and digital technology - What's the difference? - 41 views

  • 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)

      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.
  • tanyaward77 on 28 May 17
     
    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.

No Clarity Around Growth Mindset…Yet | Slate Star Codex - 1 views

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

      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".

    Detailed blog post outlining some reservations and limitation around the research around Dweck's Growth Mindset. An idea used early in this course. Reinforcing the idea to keep a skeptical view of your theories.
