Overcoming the Technology Resistance Movement - Inside the School - 1 views

  • many professional educators and administrators remain hesitant, reluctant, and perhaps even highly resistant to try online learning and teaching with technology.
  • with accelerating demand for online learning, significantly reduced budgets, and the emergence of hundreds of free or relatively inexpensive Web technologies, that resistance is coming to a sudden halt.
  • 10 such ideas

  • show teachers examples of what actually works.
  • Consider having these stories developed by peers and colleagues whom they trust instead of by vendors or external consultants.
  • starting with a simple technology tool or resource that can be mastered and applied is more important than explaining the underlying instructional approach,
  • Support staff might be on call when needed for 1:1 help and advice. Technical support personnel and trainers should not dictate a single approach or instructional philosophy but rather they should listen to teacher needs and respond accordingly.
  • For instance, the final 5-10 minutes of a department, program, or unit meeting might be saved for a live presentation of an emerging technology or discussion of ideas related to how one is using technology or the Web in instruction
  • modeling the use of online technologies and courses by one’s colleagues and superiors is highly valuable.
  • or instance, someone savvy with technology or knowledgeable about online teaching and learning might be asked to support one or more novice teachers or assistants.

TEDxNYed: This is bullshit « BuzzMachine - 0 views

  • What does this remind of us of? The classroom, of course, and the entire structure of an educational system built for the industrial age, turning out students all the same, convincing them that there is one right answer
  • But that is what education and media do: they validate.
  • Do what you do best and link to the rest.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • We tell them our answers before they’ve asked the questions. We drill them and test them and tell them they’ve failed if they don’t regurgitate back our lectures as lessons learned. That is a system built for the industrial age, for the assembly line, stamping out everything the same: students as widgets, all the same.
  • Google, he said, is looking for “non-routine problem-solving skills.”
  • “In the real world,” he said, “the tests are all open book, and your success is inexorably determined by the lessons you glean glean from the free market.”
  • We must stop our culture of standardized testing and standardized teaching
  • We must stop looking at education as a product – in which we turn out every student giving the same answer – to a process, in which every student looks for new answers. Life is a beta.
  • The school becomes not a factory but an incubator.

News: The Evidence on Online Education - Inside Higher Ed - 0 views

  • The study found that students who took all or part of their instruction online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through face-to-face instruction
  • hose who took "blended" courses -- those that combine elements of online learning and face-to-face instruction -- appeared to do best of all
  • "Studies in which learners in the online condition spent more time on task than students in the face-to-face condition found a greater benefit for online learning,
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • For its conclusions, however, the Education Department considered only a small number (51) of independent studies that met strict criteria.
  • The use of video or online quizzes -- frequently encouraged for online education -- "does not appear to enhance learning,"
  • Using technology to give students "control of their interactions" has a positive effect on student learning, however. "Studies indicate that manipulations that trigger learner activity or learner reflection and self-monitoring of understanding are effective when students pursue online learning as individuals,"
  • But the positive results appeared consistent (and statistically significant) for all types of higher education, undergraduate and graduate,
  • In many of the studies showing an advantage for online learning, the online and classroom conditions differed in terms of time spent, curriculum and pedagogy. It was the combination of elements in the treatment conditions (which was likely to have included additional learning time and materials as well as additional opportunities for collaboration) that produced the observed learning advantages
  • Education Secretary Arne Duncan urged educators to consider the report's findings. “This new report reinforces that effective teachers need to incorporate digital content into everyday classes and consider open-source learning management systems, which have proven cost effective in school districts and colleges nationwide,”
  • "It gives people greater opportunity for flexibility, for experiential learning, for illustrating things in multiple ways such as visualization." What the study demonstrates, she said, is that colleges need to think broadly about using online education,
  • "This report correctly recognizes that online learning and blended learning are growing components of higher education and, employed properly, can play a significant role in promoting student learning.
  • These results demonstrate why more research is needed
  • Successful education has always been about engaging students whether it is in an online environment, face to face or in a blended setting. And fundamental to that is having faculty who are fully supported and engaged in that process as well."

Innovación y Tecnología : TICs en la escuela: enseñar a aprender - 1 views

  •  
    Promethean, compañía líder especializada en aprendizaje interactivo, ha auspiciado el informe "Aprender sin Tiza: Uso de las Tecnologías Interactivas en el Aula", en el que se analiza el grado de penetración de las TICs en las escuelas españolas, no sólo en términos cuantitativos, sino en relación con los centros educativos europeos. El trabajo está basado en decenas de testimonios personales de expertos en educación, desde profesores habituados al uso de nuevas tecnologías en el aula hasta representantes políticos o institucionales. Todos ellos están de acuerdo en asegurar que la revolución que están imponiendo las TICs debe concretarse en que se dote al alumno de las competencias necesarias y suficientes para que, por sí mismo y a lo largo de su vida, sea capaz de buscar, obtener, procesar y transmitir información para convertirla en conocimiento. El informe, prologado por Ana García Huerta, periodista experta en Sociedad de la Información, recalca que la incorporación de las TICs en la escuela es inevitable e ineludible: vivimos sumergidos en la Sociedad de la Información y es absolutamente imprescindible que los estudiantes aprendan a moverse en el nuevo entorno. Ahora bien, para ello, "deben cambiar varios aspectos en múltiples dimensiones: la escuela misma, los métodos de evaluación, los contenidos, los profesores, los estudiantes e incluso la actitud de los padres", apunta.

Do Learning Management Systems (LMSs) help or hinder? - 0 views

  • Judy has it exactly right--we have to rethink what we do when we move a course online. When radio first moved to television, TV shows were merely radio broadcasts with motion pictures. It took a while for TV to figure out what it did best. It's going to take us some time as well.
    • António Teixeira
       
      Completamente de acordo! Ainda teremos de aprender exactamente qual a "mais-valia" dos novos meios. Até agora, parece-me que temos estado a transportar material 1.0 para um mundo 2.0. O meio mudou mas o paradigma manteve-se...
  • Are LMSs helping to improve education or are the current offerings so inflexible that it actually hinders teaching? What are people doing with LMSs that they can't do in an in-person classroom?

What is Web 2.0 by Tim O'Reilly (artigo traduzido em francês) - 0 views

  • Le concept de web 2.0 est apparu avec une conférence « brainstorming » entre O'Reilly et Medialive International. Dale Dougherty, pionner du web et membre d'O'Reilly notait alors que bien loin de s'être effondré, le web n'avait jamais été aussi important et que nombre de nouveaux sites et applications à caractère innovant apparaissaient avec une régularité déconcertante. De plus, les quelques sociétés qui avaient survécu à l'hécatombe semblaient avoir quelque chose de commun. Se pouvait-il que le crack des « dot com » eût révélé une nouvelle ère pour le web au point que l'expression « web 2.0 » ait un sens ? Nous sommes alors tombés d'accord sur le fait que cela en avait un : la conférence web 2.0 était née.
