Learning Sciences

gives some insights for etcher collaboration..

Thanks for sharing this Hatice. As Afranur, I am in need of such useful sources. These really help for the design of lessons.

Beyond textbooks:) Actually if teachers are left alone in finding out brilliant applications and applying it would be no use. Now, we can register online platforms and share. Here, what is unique is that teachers search, gather to discuss, practice and discuss again. This is collaboration in real terms!

We might explore some of these together in class.

Too many of them:) It may be difficult to select and find the most appropriate one for our purposes.

The article talks about how CSCL experience, data, reflections can enhance e-learning and enrich the new learning experiences of e-learning.

I think it is an interesting article about providin a CSCL environment for six thinking hats method which is really suitable one as it is an effective tool for group discussions.

I think, the method can be used for both in task and non-task collaboration.

Wikis is a tech for collaborative writing activity.It act as collaborative writing board.

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.

This discussion paper examines co-regulation of learning in CSCL environments extending research on self-regulated learning in computerbased environments. The discussion employs a socio-cognitive perspective focusing on social and collective views of learning to examine how students co-regulate and collaborate in computer-supported inquiry. Future research directions include examining the theoretical nature of collective regulation and social metacognition in building models of co-regulated learning.

The video provides three websites that can be used for collaboration. They are really interesting websites. I hope you'll have a chance to look at them :-))

They are all cool stuff, thanks:) Especially twiddla.com seems very practical for Math. I am so excited to explore it now :)

This is a how-to video, showing an effective way of supporting and promoting teamwork even out of class. It goes through the steps of the formation of random teams using Random.org and the allocation and naming of team shared documents using the blended synchronous/asynchronous facility of Typewith.me.

"This article describes how design-based research allowed the deliberate evolution of a set of tools and practices to help students collaborate effectively. The SpeakEasy, one of the earliest Web-based discussion boards, was evolved from prior discussion tools, adapted to an Internet-based science learning environment, and evolved to work with both online and offline classroom projects and practices"

The writers present their insights on the international CSCL conference and the perspectives presented from the different regions of the world on the past and future CSCL.

this includes both infographic and definitions for each ways how high schools changed by neurescience. I think it is very clear to understand the effect of neurescience.

Neuroscience integrated learning is certainly a way for staying off memorization based learning.

The results are important but I want to see the same experiment conducted on babies.

Worth to read: Ho do we develop gender stereotyped preferences.

As far as I know, sexuality concept is constituted in young children between the ages 2-3. This is why during infancy normally they don't have tendency to choose colour pink or blue. But it is really interesting. Why pink and blue? Why not green or red? It seems that some cultural issues are ossified.
