  • Limited influence in decision-making. In many high-achieving nations where teacher collaboration is the norm, teachers have substantial influence on school-based decisions, especially in the development of curriculum and assessment, and in the design of their own professional learning. In the United States, however, less than one-fourth of teachers feel they have great influence over school decisions and policies in seven different areas noted in the SASS surveys. A scant majority feel that they have some influence over curriculum and setting performance standards for students, though fewer than half perceived that they had some influence over the content of their in-service professional development. And very few felt they had influence over school policies and decisions affecting either teacher hiring and evaluation or the allocation of the school budget.

    Education Futures celebrates its first five years of exploring new futures in human capital development with a timeline of the history of modern education. This timeline provides not only a glimpse into the past and present, but plots out a plausible future history for human capital development. The future history presented is intended to be edgy, but also as a conversation starter on futures for education and future thinking in human capital development.

Little Love for the Mobile Web in App-Adoring World - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

  • What's more, phones will overtake PCs as the most common device to access the internet worldwide by 2013, according to a study from information-technology research company Gartner. So why are mobile sites taking a backseat to iPhone apps? Blame the Apple aura.
  • by presenting a user experience never before seen in mobile.
  • Apps can also use other hardware features on a phone, like its camera or compass, while mobile sites can only really tell where a user is located. Plus, with slow-load speeds, categories popular in apps, such as gaming, are not feasible on the web. Because an app runs offline, users don't have to worry about a slow or spotty network connection.

  • It remains to be seen how long the iPhone app addiction will last, but the mobile web -- what Mr. Outlaw calls "device-agnostic" since it works on any operating system -- will eventually break through when the iPhone buzz dies down and the consumer can get equally rich app experiences on non-Apple operating systems.
  • "App development is not easily scalable," said Mr. Outlaw. It's expensive and time-intensive to get apps on different phones.
  • iPhone's slice of the pie will shrink as more feature-phone users sign up for their first smart device.
  • Right now we're in the Age of the App, but as browsers become more sophisticated, mobile websites will be on the rise and users will barely be able to tell the difference between the app experience and the browser,"
  • "The mobile web will have to be addressed this year," said Mr. Ting. "If you don't have a mobile website up now, it's going to feel like the year 2000, when brands didn't have websites up."
  • Don't just re-create a PC website for mobile, but pare down content for exactly what consumers are looking for on that device. "When you're on the phone, it's a different context," he said. "Consumers are snacking on content; they don't want the full experience." Good mobile websites should feel like apps for consumers. New features like drop-down menus and expandable panels are expected soon. The little things, like a mobile site that redirects when a user taps in the web URL, will make mobile-web adoption smoother.
  • People don't care whether it is a web site or an application. All they care about is they can do "x" simply and pleasantly.
  • . All they care about is they can do "x" simply and pleasantly.
  • If you are trying to decide whether you should build an app or a mobile web site, you probably need to step back and think about a bigger problem - why you aren't able (or are unwilling) to build both.
  • With the release of HTML 5.0 developers will be able to take advantage of GPS, accelerometer, design, etc that will make mobile sites similar to apps in terms of functionality.
  • A game makes more sense on an app but a shopping site may find a happier home on the mobile web. This is because a mobile web developer has a choice of a number of online payment options for a limited fee. Where an iPhone developer must use iTunes and give up 30% of the revenue.
  • "mobile touch web" when deployed with the tools that HTML-5 promises to deliver will be the next important phase towards consuming content on demand and further penetration of location based services (including point of purchase)
  • Engagement may be measured by increased time per session, high frequency of sessions, interactions, and/or some combination thereof.

    "At Google we have experts on everything from Python to penguins. However, connecting our expert teachers to eager students around the globe can be a complicated business. To that end, we are excited to release our new internal learning platform, CloudCourse under an open source license. Built entirely on App Engine, CloudCourse allows anyone to create and track learning activities. CloudCourse also offers calendaring, waitlist management and approval features.\n\nCloudCourse is fully integrated with Google Calendar and can be further customized for your organization with the following service provider interfaces (replaceable components):\n\n * Sync service - to sync CloudCourse data with your internal systems\n * Room info service - to schedule classes in your locations\n * User info service - to look up user profile (employee title, picture, etc)\n\nCloudCourse has been developed in Python, using the Django web application framework and the Closure Javascript library. Deploying CloudCourse on App Engine is a breeze, and should take less than 5 minutes."

web2.0 education future

  • "Web 1.0 was largely a ‘push' operation, taking already existing content and posting it online," said Bower. "Web 2.0 is driven by ‘pull,' not push. ... Kids can create their own content and interact."
  • Before the internet, Bower said, the two most important developments from an educational perspective were the invention of the printing press and the creation of a university system. But both of these developments were "push" operations, he said--meaning they pushed information out to students, rather than letting students experience learning for themselves.
  • Now that we have the right medium, Bower said, we have to figure out how to take advantage of it. When any new technology comes out, he explained, we typically superimpose our old ways of doing things on this new medium--and education has been no different.

  • We haven't figured out how to leverage Web 2.0 yet" in schools, Bower said. Instead of pushers and producers of content knowledge, he added, teachers must become pullers and directors.
  • "If we're not engaging these kids, they're not learning."

    Many of the underlying standards that define modern e-mail technology were originally developed in the 1980s. Almost 30 years after the birth of SMTP, e-mail is still the dominant Internet communication medium despite its significant limitations and increasingly anachronistic design. Supplementary services like instant messaging and microblogging have emerged to fill in some of the gaps, but virtually no attempts have been made to build a holistic replacement for e-mail. Our most important day-to-day messaging infrastructure remains intractably mired in antiquity
