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...
  • Conversely, the problem with the internet is there’s too much information, and it’s difficult to determine which data is valuable.
  • 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.
  • 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.”

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.

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…
  • Instead of, “I am going to learning” it is “I am always 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.
  • It is a holistic approach to learning.

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.

  • "America's reputation as an international leader rests in the hands of our youth," said Sen. Chris Dodd. "It should be among our top priorities to provide our students with the tools they need to maintain and build upon this standing." The Senator was one of the original sponsors of a bill that proposed the setting up of the centre. Meanwhile Congressman John Yarmuth of Kentucky spearheaded the passage of the bill through the House and said its timing could not be more critical. "American businesses know that they need a well-educated workforce to face growing competition from China, India and Europe." The Federation of American Scientists said, "The creativity that developed extraordinary new information technologies has not focused on finding ways to make learning more compelling, more personal and more productive in our nation's schools. Education has not kept pace with technological advances said the FAS "People assumed that the explosion of innovation in information tools in business and service industries would automatically move into classrooms." That, the Federation said, has simply not happened.

  • children should be making things, communicating, exploring, sharing,not running office automation tools
  • Our kids’ futures will require them to be: Networked–They’ll need an “outboard brain.” More collaborative–They are going to need to work closely with people to co-create information. More globally aware–Those collaborators may be anywhere in the world. Less dependent on paper–Right now, we are still paper training our kids. More active–In just about every sense of the word. Physically. Socially. Politically. Fluent in creating and consuming hypertext–Basic reading and writing skills will not suffice. More connected–To their communities, to their environments, to the world. Editors of information–Something we should have been teaching them all along but is even more important now.
