The 12 qualities great teachers share - The Washington Post - 0 views

  •  
    It's the question of the year: What makes a great teacher? Here's one effort to sort out the qualities that all great teachers have. I suspect that any effort to create a definitive list is doomed to fail because great teachers are as different as the students they teach.

    Apresenta-se uma lista exaustiva de ferramentas web 2.0 para utilizar em contexto educativo, com uma breve descrição das mesmas. There are going to be three parts to the "Back to School with the Class of Web 2.0″ series: part one covering tools; part two covering office applications; and in part three, real cases of Web 2.0 used in classrooms around the world. I hope that this series becomes a valuable resource for students, teachers, and school administrators alike. On a last note, part two is almost complete and I expect to publish it within a day or two followed by part three shortly after.

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."
  • ...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.
  •  
    Os britânicos, em breve, passarão a ter uma base de dados de recursos centralizada para uso de todos os professores.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Intel cites US education 'crisis' - 0 views

  • "Good teachers are the magic in the classroom. "Personal computers aren't magic, they are just a tool. What you need to make the educational process work is a good teacher who is knowledgeable in the subject and can get kids excited."
    • Jose Paulo Santos
       
      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...
    • Jose Paulo Santos
       
      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 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.
