Project-Based Learning: A Resource for Instructors and Program Coordinators - 0 views

    • Rob Robson
       
      Project Based Learning (PBL) is a form of learning in which students engage in authentic tasks that extend beyond the classroom. Students will be actively engaged in their own learning by asking questions and making the important choices that address a driving question-or-the why of the project. Teachers' role change from 'lecturer' to 'facilitator'. Students work in groups and use creative problem solving to overcome challenges and to master the key curriculum-related goals. Teachers support and coach the groups and ensure individuals are able to produce high quality work. Students may have a culminating that task that typically includes an audience of people that are from outside the the classroom. PBL is not suited to all learning situations; key questions to consider include: - does the curriculum expectations call for demonstration, application, performance or understanding? - is there a way to capitalize on opportunities in the community with PBL? - is there enough time/resources? - can expectations, skills, and habits of mind be prioritized and sequenced so that the project is doable? - can all students be supported to produce high-quality work? High quality PBL includes the Six A's - Authenticity - Academic Rigor - Adult Connections - Active Exploration - Applied Learning - Assessment Practices

Copyright Matters! 3rd Edition. 2012 - 0 views

    • Rob Robson
       
      "Awareness of copyright is important because [we] are educating the copyright owners and users of tomorrow" As teachers, we use many resources to educate our students. These can include textbooks, music, video, artwork and much more. In many cases, these materials may be protected by copyright. This document outlines the rights and obligations of educators as they relate to copyright issues that will occur in public schools. Key Highlights: Individuals that work in public, non-profit education may use copyright-protected media for "research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody". Any usage of these materials should be accompanied by the appropriate reference.  Live and recorded music are not allowed to be played without permission/payment during: school dances, sporting events or as P.A. or background music. This requires a SOCAN or Re:Sound licence. Teachers may use video on school premises from a DVD (rented or owned) and may show videos from YouTube. Teachers may not use subscription services to stream video as they typically have restrictions to "personal" or "household" use (eg. Netflix). Teachers may not copy media at home and show it in the classroom. Student work is protected by their own copyright (via parents, if student is a minor). Teachers, the work they produce, is copyrighted by their employer (school board).

Learning and Knowing inNetworks: Changing rolesfor Educators andDesigners - 0 views

  •  
    This article begins with a discussion of "connectivism" as a learning theory and it's acceptance by the educational community. It extends beyond the traditional theories of behaviorism, congnitivism, and contructivism to describe learning within a network. Connectivism is a theory in which complex learning occurs through recognition and adaptation of patterns in social, technologically enhanced networks. He explores the overlay vs. transformation paradigm now occurring in education and provides an interesting historical perspective, the introduction of electricity to factories. Originally factories were designed to take advantage of a single power source. Electricity was introduced and replaced the original power source but was simply overlaid - used to power the original device on which the entire factory was dependent. If a problem occurred with this device, the entire factory was incapacitated. It took a complete redesign of the factories, utilizing multiple power sources, to fully realize the improvement brought by the new technology. Next, Siemens examines the various metaphors for educators in recent literature. The first is of the master artist, as in the atelier or studio model, in which the students learn from each other and are guided by the more knowledgeable and experienced teacher. Another is of the network administrator who assists students in forming connections and creating learning networks. Next is the concierge who acts as a tour guide, assisting with resource acquisition and permitting student exploration. Finally, he settles on his preferred metaphor of the educator as curator who creates learning spaces and allows learners the freedom to explore and make connections. Siemens proposes that we should consider the change caused by our networked society and rethink and reconsider our view of learning and knowledge, as well as our approach to teaching.

      Constructivism vs. knowledge building. Knowledge building as variation of constructivism. Inconsistent use of the term (no clear definition).
    • Laura Beal
       
      "constructivism that recognizes all  kinds of intellectual products as human constructions: theories, algorithms, proofs, designs, plans, analogies, and on and on." (pg 4). This really jives with my thinking: I have concluded (over time and much learning, observation) that EVERYTHING is a construct. I firmly believe in nurture over nature as a determinant in so many aspects of human development.
