New virtual bank for teachers to share ideas | Education | The Guardian - 0 views

  • Will a virtual bank for teachers to share ideas revolutionise lesson planning or stifle creativity?
    • António Teixeira
       
      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."

  • 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.

  • But now, anyone with good critical thinking skills and the ability to focus on the important information can retrieve it on demand from the Internet, rather than her own memory
  • human memory will no longer be the key repository of knowledge, and focus will supersede erudition
  • how well an employee can focus might now be more important than how knowledgeable he is

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
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 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.

  • teachers with multiple sections and/or preps can easily customize information/ resources/ activities using Diigo's groups, lists, and conversations. This can all even be done at the time that a bookmark is made (I could send the bookmark to my 7th grade math group/ list, my pre-algebra group/ list, but not my 7th grade social studies group)

How the iPhone Could Reboot Education | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - 0 views

  • How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
  • That’s the idea Abilene Christian University has to refresh classroom learning. Located in Texas, the private university just finished its first year of a pilot program, in which 1,000 freshman students had the choice between a free iPhone or an iPod Touch.
  • Think web apps to turn in homework, look up campus maps, watch lecture podcasts and check class schedules and grades. For classroom participation, there’s even polling software for Abilene students to digitally raise their hand.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The iPhone is aiding Abilene in giving students the information they need — when they want it, wherever they want it, said Bill Rankin, a professor of medieval studies who helped plan the initiative.
  • Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
  • nstead of standing in front of a classroom and talking for an hour, Rankin instructs his students to use their iPhones to look up relevant information on the fly. Then, the students can discuss the information they’ve found, and Rankin leads the dialogue by helping assess which sources are accurate and useful.
  • “Polling opens up new realms for people for discussion,” said Tyler Sutphen, an ACU sophomore who has participated in the iPhone initiative for a year. “It’s a lot more interactive for those who aren’t as willing to jump up and throw out their answer in class. Instead, you push a button on the iPhone.”

Nine Reasons to Twitter in Schools - 0 views

  • 1. Together we’re better
    • António Teixeira
       
      Sim, mas não demasiado. Não se aprende nada se estivermos em constante tagarelação...
  • Why should educators get involved with Twitter? Here are nine reasons.
  • 2. Global or local: you choose
    • António Teixeira
       
      A web 2.0 oferece-nos uma visão de maior proximidade relativamente ao Outro, torna-nos mais cidadãos do mundo. O Twitter reforça essa faceta, sem dúvida.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 3. Self-awareness and reflective practice
    • António Teixeira
       
      Que a reflexão sobre a acção é importante, ninguém duvida. Mas o Twitter não me parece que favoreça a reflexão... Lembro um filósofo francês (Foulcault? Delleuze?...) que, nos anos 60, já afirmava haver demasiada conversa e que a sabedoria exige silêncio. Quem fala (twitta) muito não terá tempo para pensar no que diz...
  • 4. Ideas workshop and sounding board
    • António Teixeira
       
      Discussão de ideias com 140 caracteres de comprimento?... Hum, não me parece...
  • 5. Newsroom and innovation showcase
    • António Teixeira
       
      Notícias e montra de inovações, talvez num blogue. O Twitter é mais para "estados de espírito"...
  • 6. Professional development and critical friends
    • António Teixeira
       
      Ainda bem que uso o Twitter, caso contrário o meu desenvolvimento profissional estava comprometido. LOL.
  • 7. Quality-assured searching
    • António Teixeira
       
      Qualidade assegurada? Só se for nos twitts do género: "Bom, pessoal, agora vou tomar um café. Até já." Então e o socialbookmarking? Para que serve?... Ah, já sei: o Twitter é o socialbookmarking dos preguiçosos. eh eh eh...
  • 8. Communicate, communicate, communicateExpressing yourself in 140 characters is a great discipline.
    • António Teixeira
       
      Pois é. Principalmente para aqueles que largam um Twitt cada vez que expiram...
  • 9. Getting with the times has never been so easy!
    • António Teixeira
       
      Aqui estamos de acordo. Mais fácil só mesmo assistir às Tardes da Júlia.
  • By Laura Walker.
    • António Teixeira
       
      Resta-me agradecer à autora esta oportunidade para exercitar o humor e enganar a Crise. Já agora, também agradeço que não tenha defendido o Twitter como ferramenta que promove a escrita. É que o Twitter tem a ver com tudo menos com escrita. É apenas conversa. Tudo muito oral. Sem chegar a vias de facto.
