Building a Learning Community - Resources - Teaching and Technology - Good Practice - C... - 0 views

  • 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).

Participe na construção da Sala de Aula do Futuro com o projecto iTEC e a Pro... - 2 views

  •  
    O iTEC (Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom) é um projecto co-financiado pela Comunidade Europeia que irá investigar o modo como as tecnologias emergentes podem ser usadas eficazmente na sala de aula nos próximos cinco a dez anos. Este é o maior teste pan-europeu de cenários de ensino e aprendizagem com recurso às TIC que alguma vez foi levado a cabo. Como parte deste projecto, professores e alunos de escolas, espalhadas um pouco por toda a Europa, serão convidados a completar um questionário e a participar em actividades de votação que irão contribuir para a definição dos cenários. As atitudes dos participantes deste projecto irão posteriormente ser analisadas, tendo em vista a produção de cenários pedagógicos significativos para a sala de aula do futuro.

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
  • But the positive results appeared consistent (and statistically significant) for all types of higher education, undergraduate and graduate,
  • ...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,"
  • "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,
  • 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."

  • This presentation aims to address some of the challenges associated with assessment and evaluation in Web 2.0 classrooms. Specifically, it will address how to develop strategies and tools that engage students in the assessment and evaluation process, and help them stay in control of their learning and their progress. Consequently, a strong emphasis will be placed on developing assessment and evaluation procedures and habits that not only complement but also foster the interactive and learner-centric environments afforded by the interactive tools of the read/write web. The presenter will share strategies to assess and evaluate student work on blogs, wikis, and discussion forums.

      Limita a criatividade?! Ler um livro alguma vez limita a imaginação?...
  • At present, most teachers wince at the very mention of virtual learning platforms. Most VLPs are a horrific combination of required - the government has declared that all schools must have one - and useless. Unconnected and underdeveloped, many VLPs are devoid of content: empty cathedrals, monuments to technological failure.
  • "The students we teach come from a media age; they are visually bombarded from every angle. As teachers we have to compete against their entertainment. A worksheet is not enough to engage them any more."
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Fears have been expressed that the bank will encourage teachers to skimp on planning, encouraging them to copy and paste material at the last minute like their more irresponsible students.
  • A star rating like that used by eBay will allow teachers to rank resources they have tried and approved, encouraging - as Iglesias puts it - "the cream to rise to the top".
  • Because the project is entirely open source, downloaded resources can be adapted and changed without fear of breaching copyright laws.
  • Developed with EU funding and pioneered in Spain, the bank's source code is free for other countries to use and copy.
  • To maintain quality assurance, all of the bank's resources will be vetted by local authorities and/or the national learning grid.
  • In the next academic year, all schools will have access to a new National Digital Resource Bank.
  • The idea is to pull together all the resources created by teachers, schools and public funding into one central location.
  • "We should be promoting tools rather than content," says Jenkins. "Students should be encouraged to be critical by remixing, commenting on and sharing the resources they are given. They should be creating their own content.

Amplified Organization - 2020 Forecast: Creating the Future of Learning - 0 views

  • Digital natives and technologies of cooperation are combining to create a generation of amplified individuals. These organizational “superheroes” will remake organizational models through their highly social, collective, improvisational practices and their augmented human capacities. These new models will thrive in a world of social networks; information proliferation, transparency, and saturation; and rapid change. As digital natives enter learning professions, and as existing educators and students become amplified, their extended human capacities will challenge traditional ways of organizing learning and will amplify schools, districts, and other learning organizations. 
  •  These individuals are highly social, collective, improvisational and augmented. 
  • Together, these attributes enable several amplified organizational practices - open leadership and sociability, beta building, collective sensemaking, and transliteracy - that support more flexible responses to change and stimulate innovation
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In many ways, amplified individuals, organizations and their practices are enabling pedagogies born in the early 20th century that have not been able to find expression in the current educational system.
  • Many educators venturing into the amplified world find that modes of learning using social and collaborative platforms are downright inspiring - encouraging the reasons that they chose to teach.
  • However, education decision-makers must work to close not just the digital divide - access and familiarity with digital technologies - but also the participation gap - comfort engaging in a culture of contribution, connectivity, sharing, and massive collaboration.
  • Open collaborative platforms enable distributed teams and loosely connected networks to self organize and form ad hoc structures to solve problems and implement strategies.  By circulating resources openly and broadly through social networks, information tends to find the right people at the right place at the right time that allows ad hoc leaders to emerge and apply relevant expertise more quickly.  Such an open, flexible structure facilitates collective sensemaking - a practice by which knowledge and expertise that may not have been visible can rise in response to critical issues. Tools ranging from Plazes (a system that lets your social contacts know where you are, what you’re doing and when) to Moodle (an open source courseware management system) allow knowledge workers, educators, learners to form their own smart mobs and self-led teams.  The transparency of these systems also helps support a culture of beta building - rapid innovation, in which participants of a social network, distributed team, or smart mob can see information, offer critique, and help iterate solutions and strategies.  Amplified organizations will be transliterate - capable of communicating across multiple media in ways that use specific media platforms and non mediated, face-to-face interactions to develop effective and creative messages.
