Collaborative learning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Collaborative learning is heavily rooted in Vygotsky’s views that there exists an inherent social nature of learning which is shown through his theory of zone of proximal development.[8] Often, collaborative learning is used as an umbrella term for a variety of approaches in education that involve joint intellectual effort by students or students and teachers.[9]

Mathematical modeling by prospective teachers using technology - 0 views

  •  
    helpful to math teachers and their students by using technology to solve mathematical problems. Three studies were conducted to investigate prospective mathematics teachers' understanding of mathematical modeling when using technology solve a variety of problems. The purpose was neither to verify an existing theory nor to test a priori hypotheses. Rather, the intent was to develop a framework for exploring the students' difficulties with mathematical modeling by observing and interviewing them in the context of a regular, if unique, course on mathematical modeling.

Technology for Teaching: 10 Ways to Improve Classroom Learning | Scott Steinberg - 0 views

  • Share Content Online - Whether it's posting videos to a private channel for class members and parents to see, using Google Docs to share materials so students can collaborate on a shared project, or posting homework assignments to a class website for everyone to access, using technology as a tool demands a base level of proficiency from students that they'll need to continue to build on.
  • Create a Class Blog or Wiki - Encourage kids to respond to in-class lessons or current events and topics, and devise a system for posting thoughts, news or impressions of them to a class blog or Wiki. Kids will love improving their creative writing skills and seeing their work appear online, and parents will love being able to feel more connected to the classroom. As the school year progresses, it's often great fun to watch a class' page fill up with posts and discussions, and see kids, parents, and educators engage in more frequent and ongoing dialogue.
  • Promote Greater Good - If there's an international, national or even local need for charitable donations or disaster relief, classrooms can use online tools to solicit and track charitable donations, or spread awareness for these causes. Sites like FirstGiving or Pledgie can help teachers use technology as a complement to cause-based learning. Helping kids create social awareness, all show how high-tech solutions can be used as a tool for kindness, understanding, and good.

  • Embrace Connected Learning - The concept of "Connected Learning" is at the center of a new theory that champions say "is a model of learning that holds out the possibility of re-imagining the experience of education in the Information Age" that draws on "the power of today's technology to fuse young people's interests, friendships and academic achievement." According to Dr. Mizuko Ito, a leader in the field of Connected Learning and a professor at the University of California, Irvine, and cultural anthropologist of technology use, examples of Connected Learning are when a teacher may ask a student to do a report on their favorite video game, or if a kid who likes to draw on the computer creates the signs and banners for a classroom party.
