Seeing No Progress, Some Schools Drop Laptops - New York Times - 0 views

  • “After seven years, there was literally no evidence it had any impact on student achievement — none,” said Mark Lawson, the school board president here in Liverpool, one of the first districts in New York State to experiment with putting technology directly into students’ hands. “The teachers were telling us when there’s a one-to-one relationship between the student and the laptop, the box gets in the way. It’s a distraction to the educational process.”
  • Matoaca High School just outside Richmond, Va., began eliminating its five-year-old laptop program last fall after concluding that students had failed to show any academic gains compared with those in schools without laptops. Continuing the program would have cost an additional $1.5 million for the first year alone, and a survey of district teachers and parents found that one-fifth of Matoaca students rarely or never used their laptops for learning. “You have to put your money where you think it’s going to give you the best achievement results,” said Tim Bullis, a district spokesman.

Techlearning > > Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally > April 1, 2008 - 0 views

  • Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
  • This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund.

Minds on Fire: Open Education, the Long Tail, and Learning 2.0 (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUC... - 0 views

  • The original World Wide Web—the “Web 1.0” that emerged in the mid-1990s—vastly expanded access to information. The Open Educational Resources movement is an example of the impact that the Web 1.0 has had on education. But the Web 2.0, which has emerged in just the past few years, is sparking an even more far-reaching revolution. Tools such as blogs, wikis, social networks, tagging systems, mashups, and content-sharing sites are examples of a new user-centric information infrastructure that emphasizes participation (e.g., creating, re-mixing) over presentation, that encourages focused conversation and short briefs (often written in a less technical, public vernacular) rather than traditional publication, and that facilitates innovative explorations, experimentations, and purposeful tinkerings that often form the basis of a situated understanding emerging from action, not passivity.

21st Century Education: Thinking Creatively at Students 2.0 - 0 views

  • Twenty-first century education won’t be defined by any new technology. It won’t be defined by 1:1 laptop programs or tech-intensive projects. Twenty-first century education will, however, be defined by a fundamental shift in what we are teaching—a shift towards learner-centered education and creating creative thinkers.
  • The need to know the capital of Florida died when my phone learned the answer. Rather, the students of tomorrow need to be able to think creatively: they will need to learn on their own, adapt to new challenges and innovate on-the-fly

CWRA sample report (PDF) including sample problem - 0 views

  •  
    Sample Problem: You advise Pat Williams, the president of DynaTech, a company that makes precision electronic instruments and navigational equipment. Sally Evans, a member of DynaTech's sales force, recommended that DynaTech buy a small private plane (a SwiftAir 235) that she and other members of the sales force could use to visit customers. Pat was about to approve the purchase when there was an accident involving a SwiftAir 235. Your document library contains the following materials: 1 . Newspaper article about the accident 2. Federal Accident Report on in-flight breakups in single-engine planes 3. Internal Correspondence (Pat's e-mail to you & Sally's e-mail to Pat) 4. Charts relating to SwiftAir's performance characteristics 5. Excerpt from magazine article comparing SwiftAir 235 to similar planes 6. Pictures and descriptions of SwiftAir Models 180 and 235 Sample Questions: Do the available data tend to support or refute the claim that the type of wing on the SwiftAir 235 leads to more in-flight breakups? What is the basis for your conclusion? What other factors might have contributed to the accident and should be taken into account? What is your preliminary recommendation about whether or not DynaTech should buy the plane and what is the basis for this recommendation?

Lessons Learned from the Hybrid Course Project at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee - 0 views

  • Lessons Learned from the Hybrid Course Project
  • Lesson #1: There is no standard approach to a hybrid course.
  • Lesson #2: Redesigning a traditional course into a hybrid takes time.
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • he broke his content presentations into less than ten minute streaming video clips, and he interspersed his mini-lectures with student-centered problem-solving activities.
    • Bill Campbell
       
      As I was reviewing information from Brain Rules to confirm my recollection about the 10 minute rule, I found the following quote from Medina that also seems signficant with regard to a possible hybrid course advantage. He says the most common communication mistake is "relating too much information with not enough time devoted to connecdting the dots. Lots of force feeding, very little digestion." Might this be an advantage of presenting information online in a content-heavy course? Maybe the logistics of breaking up a 45 minute period that don't work well face-to-face might work better by presenting some content online. My gut says yet, but I'd like to see real examples of this.
    • Bill Campbell
       
      This is interesting because it is consistent with the research report in the book Brain Rules by John Medina. Brain Rules reported that students attention in a class drops a significant amount after 10 minutes and that you need to change gears to get another 10 minutes. So breaking up a video lecture into 10 minutes segments seperated by releveant problem sovling fits right in with that.
  • Hybrid instructors should allow six months lead time for course development.
  • Lesson #3: Start small and keep it simple.
  • "Integrate online with face-to-face, so there aren't two separate courses."
  • "The emphasis is on pedagogy, not technology. Ask yourself what isn't working in your course that can be done differently or better online."
  • Lesson #4: Redesign is the key to effective hybrid courses to integrate the face-to-face and online learning.
  • , instructors need to make certain that the time and resources required to create a hybrid course are available before they commit to the process.
  • Students need to have strong time management skills in hybrid courses, and many need assistance developing this skill.
    • Bill Campbell
       
      Participation in an online course might be an authentic way to provide high-school (and maybe older middle-school) students the opportunity to practice time management skills in an authentic way. However, this would need to be handled carfully so students who are not successful at first are not completey lost or so far behind that they can't be successful later after learning from their mistakes.
  • Contrary to many instructors' initial concerns, the hybrid approach invariably increases student engagement and interactivity in a course.
  • Lesson #6: Students don't grasp the hybrid concept readily.
  • Lesson #5: Hybrid courses facilitate interaction among students, and between students and their instructor.
  • Surprisingly, many of the students don't perceive time spent in lectures as "work", but they definitely see time spent online as work, even if it is time they would have spent in class in a traditional course.
  • Lesson #7: Time flexibility in hybrid courses is universally popular.
  • Lesson #8: Technology was not a significant obstacle.
  • Lesson #9: Developing a hybrid course is a collegial process.
  • Lesson #10: Both the instructors and the students liked the hybrid course model.
  • They stated that the hybrid model improved their courses because Student interactivity increased, Student performance improved, and They could accomplish course goals that hadn't been possible in their traditional course.
