Members of this family are teaching the younger generation to weave a simple pattern of peonies. The younger boy (rear) clearly has no idea what he's doing as he plays with the instruments and materials.

This video is about how an expert can lead the novice through learning process

Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained, holographic computer, enabling you to engage with your digital content and interact with holograms in the world around you. It is a miraculous device, I think. When watched the video, it is einevitable not to be excited. Its sale is only for app developer and it is also expensive, 3000 $. However, as it become widespread and develop, it may be a routine device. Also there is another video video, shot at Case Western Reserve University, shows doctors examining bodies as they float in midair, creating a new way to teach anatomy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKpKlh1-en0 Think about the time when that device become reachable easily, think about using it at the classes commonly. Maybe changing curriculum according to these or another augmented reality ones. I think, there could be revolution at education with these steps in the future. That pictures are taken from the presentation of that device; http://s01.shiftdelete.net/img/general_b/15-10/06/hololens.jpg http://s01.shiftdelete.net/img/content/15-10/06/hololens-2-1444146365.JPG Also, there is a funny(or sad) photoshop work related to possible usage of device at our country; http://s11.postimg.org/cukj78a4z/holoturk.png

I love it!

Combining technology with a constructivist educational system.

I wasn't sure if this was a legitimate app, but turns out it is! I love it when people collaborate to create projects like this. Reminded me of (although individual) student portfolios of Stanford's LDT master's graduates. Examples can be found here: https://ed.stanford.edu/ldt/students/ma-projects Thank you for sharing this Kutay :)

A brief summary about differences between experts and novices.

This was a great summary of this week's reading. Thanks Serap! :)

Video mentioned exact same differences between experts and novices. I wondered if these differences are agreed upon

Türkiye'nin OECD ülkeleri arasında eğitime en az pay ayrılan ülke olduğunu belirten Yıldıran, öğretmenlerin aldığı ücretlerle ilgili şaşırtan rakamlar verdi. Yıldıran, "Kadrolu öğretmenler ülkemizde yılda ortalama 22 bin euro maaş alıyor, bu 1700 euro gibi aylık maaşa karşılık geliyor" dedi.

I have been doing this for a long time Ayşegül.. Welcome our community..:)

Ayşegülllllll, I love you :))

En büyük sorun itibar kaybı :(

Teachers are the ones we always put blame on!!! They don't prepare students very well for the university entrance exam, they don't implement the curriculum effectively, they resist innovation, changes etc. In Turkey, teaching is mostly a profession of last choice. Losing reputation is not a problem, it is a result. Restoring it can not be done by increase in wages, providing facilities for them etc. When education becomes a prior area for all of us, teacher's reputation will be restored then, I think.

ACM library has so many article, publications and resources on cognitive tutoring and intelligent tutoring systems. If you are interested, you can check more here. Also METU has the subscription to ACM.

A nice example of learning by design.

A very good example :-)) I think this supports the idea that projects should have an aim and provide possible solutions to existing problems. As we all know, necessity is the mother of invention. So when we want to engage sts with design activities, we should be realistic and provide them with problems from real life.

Below are 45 design thinking resources you can use to lead this movement in your own classroom.

Here, we try to answer your questions about the different integrating components of a design learning experience into familiar, pre-existing scenarios that play out in every school.

The article mentions key features of LBD from a practical perspective. But, I still have some questions about how to apply LBD effectively in traditional classroom environment while trying to keep up with the requirements of the curricula in practice. The current curricula are assumed to be designed considering the contemporary approaches and methods. But the more I learn about the current improvements in the field the more I question our " current curricula".

Hello Everybody, I am writing from the NTLS meeting that I am attending at Washington D.C. This meeting aims to shape some of the future ed tech initiatives. I will share things that I come across at this leadership meeting. It seems like STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is one of the hot topics here. Another topic is TPACK and Rich Media Teaching Cases.

In the video, you will see that a designe to improve the sound of the phone is achived after some failures.

Turkish students seem to improve in equality and some scores. And they are happy at school.
