There are many different factors investigated affecting students' mathematics learning before in the literature. However I had never read a research project about the instructional gestures supporting learning. It reveals that the gestures have a substantial role in comprehension. The results even shows that some studies triggers the learning even roughly twice.

This is quite interesting. I am curious to hear more about the results of this research.

The efforts to boost the nascent field of learning analytics could bring about a sea change in education, making it possible to personalize - on a massive scale - students' learning by their individual interests and needs, according to a comprehensive report, involving experts from academia, business, nonprofits, foundations and government .

In this article Roy Pea, who is one of the pioneers of learning sciences, discussing how computers are changing our cognitive lifes beyond amplifying. Article first supports this proposition, then discusses implications of applying computer-based technologies into education. Lastly it suggests updating educational practices in order to be harmonious with this new emerging cognitive life. This article is also important for being quite early, it constitutes one of the foot stones of the learning sciences area.

Here's a simple comparison of learning theories (behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism).

It's very basic and informative ;)

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

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".

An article about how handwriting, due to hand's special relation with brain, affect learning foreign languages or cognitive development.

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 :))

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.

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.
