A bird expert, Şevket the Albenian (Arnavut Şevket) - 1 views

  •  
    One important thing that we should remember is the non-academic experts. I think there are many important things that we will learn from non-academic experts. When I watch Arnavut Şevket, I always think that he is one of the best experts about birds of singing. a) The full documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-M5JVR1JlM b) full, Arnavut Şevket http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFGdmRgJIgg

    I had seen this one before, very enjoyable one. As you drew attention, non-academic experts can serve as different sources in our learning process of expertise.

    İbrahim, Iam a bit lost about what the man saying? I think different sayings have different meaning. Am I right?

Some Differences Between Experts and Novices - 1 views

  •  
    This excerpt is taken from the book "The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education" Game-based learning have been increasingly used in educational settings in the last 10 years and there is a lot of research on this subject. I wonder if there is any on game-based learning how experts and novices solve certain problems in the game environments. Sounds a promising research area.

    The example of Making sale in differentiating novices and experts is stunning.While novices focus on making the sale , experts develop relationships. The former aims to think, organize information for a limited time for that thing only.However the latter thinks more elaboratelly, develop ways for a long period of time for future connections which is wiser.Thus, we can see that experts know how to use their long term memory effectively compared to novices.

Japanese Robot Teacher - 1 views

    The first robot teacher was tested in Tokyo in 2009 to sixth and seventh graders. The robot teacher can express six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, fear, disgust, sadness and anger. As I know a French company has developed a robot teacher, too.

    Interesting video. We all know what they say ' boynuz kulağı geçermiş '. I think she would be the best teacher that children ever had :)
  •  
    I did not like the idea of having a robot teacher. What about interaction between students and teachers? Why would I need to have a robot teacher rather than a human one? It is like being in front of a computer telling you the knowledge and inform you of your mistakes.
  •  
    For sure, robot 'teacher' would not teach effectively and in a favourable way. However, as it is mentioned, it can show how impressive and creative technology would integrate to the classes and learning environments. This is the way students may 'touch' the technology.
  •  
    To admit, yes it is an impressive way. However, I got stuck when it was said that robots could replace teachers in case of teacher shortage. It can be used as a tool for teaching-learning but it can not be treated as a teacher in real terms.
  •  
    I think this is too much technological, where is the interaction? I totally agree with Yelda and Sinem in that a robot teacher cannot provide the effective class environment and fulfill teaching. The communication is really important in learning process, with a robot teacher this is impossible.

Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning for Language Learning: A Practical Guide f... - 3 views

  •  
    Here are some ideas for integrating CSCL to language teaching. You can also find practical activities.
  •  
    This is a useful source for language teachers including benefits, elements and sample activities of CSCL.
  •  
    İbrahim thanks for sharing this source, I believe we should make use of CSCL while both teaching and learning a language. Especially the role of interaction is really important, as teachers our mission is to make this interaction possible I think and there are some good sources for activities.

The Sociability of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Environments - 0 views

  •  
    We can think that in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning Environments has a pitfall in that it prevents the social construction of knowledge, interactive group learning and shared understanding. In the article, an intelligent CSCL environment is proposed, which is based on awareness about the others in the task and in the non-task context.

    By the way, you can reach the article through Full Text icon. I couldn't share the direct link. :(

Stuated Learning in a zoo - 1 views

  •  
    Zoos can be interesting and valuable places to have stiuated learning experiences. I have seen situated learning videos of Australia zoo which has programs like being a zookeper for a day or adapting an animal.
  •  
    That is such a great idea, it is like totally experiencing but I couldn't reach the website :( :( Maybe restaurants, cafes, museums can be some other locations to be used with students.

Harvey Mudd professors' research suggests 'flipped' classes might not be worth the hassle - 1 views

    Research finding on Flipped Classrooms. Connected to some of the reading reflections this week on technology.

  •  
    how interesting research, I am very suprised...
  •  
    This research proves to be another evidence of the importance of combining both technological and pedagogical knowledge (excluding content knowledge for this case as it is not mentioned). I think the impact of flipped classes can be larger when it is known what and how to do with the technology.
  •  
    This classes can have no effect on students learning, in a short term. For me, a study should measure the long term effect of the flipped classroom. This point can be missed. there is need for not only summative but also confirmative evaluation.
  •  
    As a language teacher, I've felt really interested in such a change in the instructional process. I always need more time for activities and hands-on experiences; however, I fail to have. I think if the initial preparations are well-organized and students are provided with effective support, flipped classrooms idea may work better than the traditional classes. Therefore, I disagree with the researchers who have found no significant difference in learning. One research may not set a good example for a generalization.

Dyned - 2 views

    Mostly probably all of you are familiar with Dyned. It is an interactive software for learning English and it is a quite good innovation in the field of computer assisted language learning. It is tired to be used in the public schools and Turkish Ministry of Education supports this.

    I used Dyned in my classes for years or I shoud say I tried to use it:) It is really hard to use technology in public schools and also Dyned is a problematic program in terms of various aspects. However, it was really surprising that all the students were eager to login in the system and use Dyned. I really wonder whether it would make any difference in student achievement if Dyned was used in schools properly.
  •  
    We have a similar program in my workplace, "Azarinteractive". However, students are extra demotivated to use it though they have chance to practice listening and so forth. I think you are lucky Pınar, to have eager students to use such a tool. :)))
  •  
    So perhaps, "motivation" is an important issue to consider with cognitive tutors. Let's cover some of the motivational aspects of cognitive tutors and intelligent tutoring systems in class.
  •  
    I think when sts are first introduced with such programs, they display high motivation. They are eager to find the secrets of the program. However, as time passes and as they get used to the style of the program, their motivation decreases since there are no secrets anymore. Therefore, in my opinion, to keep their motivation at its highest level, each module (if it's modular) should introduce new ways of learning.
