      Quem me indica bons programas para a criação de jogos?...
  • creating computer games, rather than just playing them, could boost students' critical and creative thinking skills
  • The team adds that teaching people how to use off-the-shelf tools to quickly build a computer game might allow anyone to learn new thinking and computing skills. After all, they explain, the process involves storytelling, developing characters, evaluating plots, and working with digital images and music.

Testamos…Panda USB Vaccine : Blog do Ciro Mota - 1 views

  •  
    A Panda USB Vacine permite proteger PCs desativando completamente as opções de execução automática (autorun.inf), impedindo que nenhum programa execute automaticamente a partir de unidades removíveis. A ferramenta funcionará mesmo que o auto-executar já esteja desativado no Windows. - Após o download, descompacte o arquivo USBVaccine.zip. - Execute o arquivo USBVaccine.exe. - Será exibida uma tela onde você deverá concordar ou negar com os termos de uso do programa. Clique em I Agree pra continuar. - A tela principal da ferramenta haverá duas opções: Computer Vaccination (Vacinar o PC como um todo). USB Driver Vaccination (Onde você poderá especificar qual drive será 'vacinado'. - Basta então escolher qual das duas opções seguir e em seguida clicar nos botões Vaccinate computer para 'vacinar' o PC e Vaccinate USB para 'vacinar' unidades de Pen-drive. OBS: Apenas a 'vacinação' do PC pode ser revertida. A 'vacinação' do Pen-drive só poderá ser desfeita formatando-o. Como Pen-drive é o maior vilão das infecções por este dispositivo atualmente, creio que esta opção seja essencial para proteção.

How To Influence Your Co-workers - 0 views

  • One of the tasks which ed tech coordinators are landed with is cajoling other teachers to use the technology in their lessons. And not just in a one-off or a tokenistic way, either. No! You’re expect to persuade them, somehow, that this is the way of the future and that they should therefore cast aside all their old, non-techie teaching methods and step into this brave new world.
  • Fundamentally, what you need to have in order to succeed as an ed tech coordinator, is not so much a technical understanding of computers, but an intuitive understanding of people.
  • I reasoned that nobody in, say, the English department would listen to me telling them how they could improve their teaching of English if they used the right software or device. But they probably would listen to one of their co-workers in the same department.

Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship - 0 views

  • Social network sites (SNSs) are increasingly attracting the attention of academic and industry researchers intrigued by their affordances and reach. This special theme section of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication brings together scholarship on these emergent phenomena. In this introductory article, we describe features of SNSs and propose a comprehensive definition. We then present one perspective on the history of such sites, discussing key changes and developments. After briefly summarizing existing scholarship concerning SNSs, we discuss the articles in this special section and conclude with considerations for future research.

'The Objective of Education Is Learning, Not Teaching' - Knowledge@Wharton - 0 views

  •  
    In their book, Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on Track, authors Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg point out that today's education system is seriously flawed -- it focuses on teaching rather than learning. "Why should children -- or adults -- be asked to do something computers and related equipment can do much better than they can?" the authors ask in the following excerpt from the book. "Why doesn't education focus on what humans can do better than the machines and instruments they create?"

Computers in schools could do more harm than good - Telegraph - 0 views

  • When you read a book, for example, you go on a journey
    • António Teixeira
       
      Na "aprendizagem digital" há uma perda de intensidade na relação com os conteúdos, uma apropriação superficial da informação, uma velocidade que carece de foco.

  • Why bother when you can just click restart?
  • It is this emphasis on process rather than content which could affect the ability to learn
  • And for those concerned with social behaviour in the real world, the dangers of online social networks are even more noticeable.
  • You might just choose return to the sanitised world instead, and to the safety of the screen, where you can relax in safety with your online persona – a much simpler, but massively less rewarding, existence.
  • I and others will shortly be launching a new initiative, "A Brain For Life", to examine fully the dangers faced by the screen generation

      If so, teacher work must be dignified by the government leaders! I don't think they support and recognize the importance of the educators in our society. Teachers must be well paid, for example...

      Os professores precisam de ser mais apoiados e acarinhados pela sociedade. O reconhecimento do valor dos docentes para o desenvolvimento da economia deve ser uma prioridade.
  • "Nations are as strong as their educational systems. "The rest of the emerging world recognises this is the key to staying competitive." He went on: "It's time our political leaders acknowledged that and declare there is a crisis and do something about it."

Overcoming Technology Barriers: How to Innovate Without Extra Money or Support | Edutopia - 0 views

  • According to a recent survey by the nation's two largest teachers' unions, most educators are enthusiastic about the role technology can play in improving learning, but many still feel unprepared to take advantage of digital tools in the classroom. What's stopping them? The persistent barriers include too few computers, a lack of technical support, and inadequate professional development.

eLearn: Feature Article - E-learning 2.0 - 1 views

  • e-learning is evolving with the World Wide Web as a whole and it's changing to a degree significant enough to warrant a new name: E-learning 2.0.
  • When we think of learning content today, we probably think of a learning object. Originating in the world of computer-based delivery (CBT) systems, learning objects were depicted as being like lego blocks or atoms, little bits of content that could be put together or organized. Standards bodies have refined the concept of learning objects into a rigorous form and have provided specifications on how to sequence and organize these bits of content into courses and package them for delivery as though they were books or training manuals
  • In learning, these trends are manifest in what is sometimes called "learner-centered" or "student-centered" design. This is more than just adapting for different learning styles or allowing the user to change the font size and background color; it is the placing of the control of learning itself into the hands of the learner [5].

  • In the world of e-learning, the closest thing to a social network is a community of practice, articulated and promoted by people such as Etienne Wenger in the 1990s. According to Wenger, a community of practice is characterized by "a shared domain of interest" where "members interact and learn together" and "develop a shared repertoire of resources."
