Life on the Screen: Visual Literacy in Education | Edutopia - 0 views

  • nstead we need to teach students how to tell a story.
  • This is more than just teaching kids how to use computers. Kids already know this. They know how to use computers before they get to school.

      It's true, and I guess it's more important to teach kids how to tech troubleshoot since it's crazy the holes they have... They need to be able to identify what they don't know and how to figure it out.
  • People seem to forget this fact, and often these are the same people who are running the society. They would rather spend money on the military than on the educational system, unaware that the military will bring them zippo. It's not a great idea to want to take over the world if you don't know what to do with it and how to run it. Nothing is accomplished through conquest. Everything is accomplished through education.

    This is something we need to think about as we help students to create their websites, post on their blogs and develop their online presence.

How Users Read on the Web - 0 views

  • meaningful sub-headings (not "clever" ones)
    • Katy Vance
       
      Booo....
  • one idea per paragraph (users will skip over any additional ideas if they are not caught by the first few words in the paragraph)
  • Credibility can be increased by high-quality graphics, good writing, and use of outbound hypertext links. Links to other sites show that the authors have done their homework and are not afraid to let readers visit other sites.
  •  
    (Update: a newer study found that users read email newsletters even more abruptly than they read websites.)

  • And it's not you who has to change. It's me, the writer: One idea per paragraphHalf the word count of "conventional writing"! (Ouch!) Other stuff along these lines
    • Katy Vance
       
      Augh! I gotta cut down...
  • If you want to beat the Internet, you're not going to do it by blogging (since even OK thinkers occasionally write a great blog post) but by offering a comprehensive take on a subject (thus saving the reader time from searching many sites) and supplying original thinking (offering trusted insight that cannot be easily duplicated by the nonexpert).
  • When we're really engaged in a text, it's like being in an effortless trance.

  • I suppose ludic readers would be the little sloths hiding in the jungle while everyone else is out rampaging around for fresh meat.
  • We'll do more and more reading on screens, but they won't replace paper—never mind what your friend with a Kindle tells you. Rather, paper seems to be the new Prozac. A balm for the distracted mind. It's contained, offline, tactile.
  • Moby Dick has become a spa

Why Integrate Technology into the Curriculum?: The Reasons Are Many | Edutopia - 1 views

  • In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts
    • Katy Vance
       
      We need to work on our connection to real world experts.
    • donovanhallnz
       
      I concur, leaning on our PLN and connecting with them and their PLN is certainly a way in. I have done this with Jeff and others to help myself trying to overcome a number of issues with implementing 1:1 tablet in the classroom. They proved very helpful! Whilst all are important, I feel that the last is the biggest for us as teachers because it reiterates the fact that we no longer hold the key/knowledge and that our role as a teacher has change. I particularly like the point made that technology support curricular goals. Thanks for diigoing this!
  • The Web connects students to experts in the real world and provides numerous opportunities for expressing understanding through images, sound, and text.
  • When technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach.
