Creating a Learning Ecosystem - Why Blended Learning is Now Inadequate - 0 views
-
Unlike a traditional blended learning environment where those who learn are fed from one source, a learning ecosystem balances those organisms (people) with the environment (organization, culture, tools).
-
what is the difference between blended learning and creating a learning ecosystem? Blended learning takes on the funnel mentality. All knowledge must funnel through the learning department’s people, systems, processes, packages and must be measured in standard ways as it goes through. If it does not route and measure in these ways it is out of our circle of influence. In a learning ecosystem the environment is created so that learning just happens. It is a part of work rather than separate from it. It includes traditional blended learning when appropriate (for each piece does not lose its significance) but the funnel, for the most part, is gone. Formal learning intersects with social learning intersects with informal learning intersects with traditional learning…

We must strategically create learning ecosystems within our organizations where formal courses of all kinds, social interactions using all mediums and all types of informal learning blend together.

Building a Learning Community Palloff and Pratt recommend seven basic steps for building a successful learning community. These include: clearly defining the purpose of the community, creating a distinctive gathering place for the group, promoting effective leadership from within, defining norms and a clear code of conduct, allowing for a range of member roles, allowing for and facilitating of subgroups, and allowing members to resolve their own disputes. The authors caution that it is possible to develop a community that has strong social connections between the students, but where very little learning actually takes place. Thus, it is important that the instructor be actively engaged in the process and encourages students who stray from the learning goals of the course. Specifically, the authors recommend: (1) engaging students with subject matter, (2) accounting for attendance and participation, (3) working with students who do not participate, (4) understanding the signs of when a student is in trouble, and (5) building online communities that accommodate personal interaction. Indicators of a Successful Learning Community You can tell if the learning community is working when you see: active interaction, sharing of resources among students, collaborative learning evidenced by comments directed primarily student to student rather than student to instructor, socially constructed meaning evidenced by agreement or questioning, with the intent to achieve agreement on issues of meaning, and expressions of support and encouragement exchanged between students, as well as willingness to critically evaluate the work of others. Finally, they suggest that the keys to successful learning communities are honesty, responsiveness, relevance, respect, openness, and empowerment. Palloff, R.M. & Pratt, K. (1999).

Escola de Ensino Básico Integrado da Charneca de Caparicahttp://www.eb123-charneca-caparica.rcts.pt/A disponibilização de um “Oleão” no interior do estabelecimento de ensino é uma das actividades em destaque no site da Escola de Ensino Básico Integrado da Charneca de Caparica, que garante ser a primeira freguesia portuguesa a disponibilizar oleões à população em articulação com um projecto educativo.Uma das actividades consiste em explicar o que se deve fazer com os óleos alimentares, indicando o prejuízo ele que pode causar depois de usado.“Óleos alimentares – que lhes fazer?• Sabias que sempre que fazemos uma coisa tão simples como fritar batatas podemos estar a pôr em perigo o meio ambiente?• Mas só se não tivermos o devido cuidado!• É que, normalmente, para fazer petiscos fritos, de que tanta gente gosta, usam-se óleos alimentares. Depois de algumas utilizações esse óleo já não serve mais para fritar e é deitado fora pelos lava-loiças abaixo ou noutros locais...• E é aí que está o grande problema! Quando o fazemos, estamos a aumentar em milhares de euros o custo de tratamento das águas dos esgotos! Imagina!!!• Sabias que apenas uma gota de óleo pode arruinar centenas de litros de água potável?• E perguntas tu: “E o que devemos, então, fazer com o óleo?”• Se pegarmos no óleo usado e o voltarmos a colocar na respectiva embalagem vazia (ou mesmo numa garrafa de plástico qualquer), já estamos a fazer uma grande coisa.• Claro que não precisamos de ficar com as garrafas em casa, mas temos de tratar correctamente o que elas contêm. Como?• Depois de bem fechadas entrega as garrafas com o óleo velho nos pontos de recolha nomeadamente na nossa escola.Participa!Ajuda-nos a proteger o ambienteAgrupamento de Escolas da Charneca de CaparicaCom a colaboração da Junta de Freguesia da Charneca de Caparica”

Algumas escolas pediram hoje mais técnicos para cuidarem dos equipamentos a instalar no próximo ano lectivo no âmbito do Plano Tecnológico da Educação (PTE). O pedido foi feito durante a primeira sessão de apresentação do PTE, em Castelo Branco, em que participaram 120 professores dos distritos da Guarda, Leira e Castelo Branco. Face a questões colocadas por docentes, o secretário de Estado da Educação, Valter Lemos, e João da Mata, coordenador do Plano, destacaram a criação de um Centro de Apoio Tecnológico às Escolas (CATE) para todo o país. Sempre que "for identificado um problema", basta ligar um determinado número de telefone para obter uma resposta, referiu João da Mata. Uma explicação que provocou alguma agitação na plateia.

Vários sites disponibilizam filmes, livros ou mesmo música de forma totalmente grátis e legal. Em muitos casos não pertencem ao top dos mais vendidos ou mais recentes, mas podem ajudá-lo a passar agradáveis momentos de lazer. É o caso de algumas raridades cinematográficas que caíram em domínio público - ou seja, filmes sem direitos de autor ou cujos direitos já expiraram - e que estão disponíveis para 'download' em sites na internet. No archive.org, por exemplo, pode navegar entre cerca de 400 mil filmes e vídeos gratuitos de diferentes estilos: comédia, terror, animação ou documentários. De animação e cartoons, existem mais de mil filmes, incluindo clássicos dos anos 30 e 40, mas a verdadeira mina é a secção de filmes de domínio público.

School & Games Overlay - 0 views

That’s what I imagine, schools and classrooms that are as permeable as possible, so that learning leaks out — not that we’re losing it, but because we’ve stopped trying to contain it, allowing learning to grow, to network, to fertilize other learning.
-
But I’m wondering about a commercial opportunity, or open source collaboration, to develop a package that overlays a schools curriculum with some sort of ARG (alternate reality game), along with game master instructions, social network plugins, a variety of barcoded clue stickers that can be planted, etc. Seems like some hard-fun learning.

Exploring the impact of interactive whiteboards on learning: Lessons from the UK - 4 views

IWB Great Britain effective learning teaching experience promethean activboard ICT TIC
![](/images/link.gif)

Abstract. Interactive whiteboards are being adopted in classrooms around the world. They have generally been well received, with many teachers claiming they could no longer teach without one. Others are naturally more sceptical. The article examines the evidence regarding the impact of interactive whiteboards, focusing on experience in the UK, which was one of the early adopters of the technology. A practical example from a primary setting is used to illustrate how interactive software can be used to support the delivery of teaching objectives. A number of benefits are identified. These include impact on presentation, on teaching practice, on the learning environment and on learning itself. Ultimately, it is in the latter area that the real potential of interactive whiteboards to transform education is felt to lie. Notwithstanding this, there are clearly a number of factors which affect the degree to which benefits are realised. These include practical issues, such as frequency of use and access, the teacher's attitude and skills and the process of change management when the technology is first introduced. To ensure maximum benefit, implementation therefore needs to be well thought-out and accompanied by discussion of pedagogy to ensure that the technology is effectively embedded in the learning environment.

fazer semanalmente online curtos testes (“quizzes”), para revisão frequente da matéria e avaliação dos alunos. Fazer testes curtos e frequentes é uma técnica antiga — pretende-se que os estudantes vão acompanhando a matéria e percebam onde estão a falhar. A inovação consiste em automatizar esses testes, de forma a que os alunos possam obter imediatamente a correcção das respostas e a sua classificação.

Os tais “bons resultados” referiam-se apenas ao entusiasmo dos alunos. Não a uma melhoria da sua aprendizagem.
