Polyphonic Teaching with Digital Learning Tools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • To understand the framework, it is important to be aware that no form of teaching per se is better than the others. When the teacher plans her teaching, she must choose which of the three forms she wants to practice, based on pedagogical reflections on educational philosophy, the overall purpose of education, the learning objectives and the teacher's and students' prerequisites.
  • In the polyphonic form, the objective is for students and teachers to gain mutual understanding and knowledge through dialogue and collaboration where both parties act as co-learners.
  • Communication within this form of teaching thus becomes polyphonic, and is initiated and controlled by both teacher and students.
  •  
    "assess whether a digital tool is suitable for a monological, dialogical or polyphonic form of teaching. "

Constructivism | Learning Theories - 0 views

What type of learning is most natural? - Daniel Willingham - 0 views

  •  
    "The paper focuses on a rather profound problem in human learning. Think of the vast difference in knowledge between a new born and a three-year-old; language, properties of physical objects, norms of social relations, and so on. How could children learn so much, so rapidly? "

  • every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.”

      I find that this statement is particularly true of myself and my learners. We tend to learn well in a particular mode when we first learn about how that mode works best, have it modeled, practice it. When we have left that mode and come back to it after having left it for a while (two weeks or more), we tend to need more guidance with that mode on how to use it effectively.  Like everything else in teaching, model, model, model and everything in moderation. 
  • We’ve always skimmed newspapers more than we’ve read them, and we routinely run our eyes over books and magazines to get the gist of a piece of writing and decide whether it warrants more thorough reading

      This is a really good point to make to those colleagues that are tech. unsaavy, hesitant, or unwilling because it "makes us" not as deep of readers.

      As somebody said on the discussion board...everything is better in moderation. I think the internet has many pros as well as cons as evident by this article.

      This is scary to think, but very true. The internet is turning us into fast paced people who do not learn things in depth. This could not only harm our learning, but our long term memory if we are not properly storing information.
  • comprehension declined as the number of links increased
  • When the load exceeds our mind’s ability to process and store it, we’re unable to retain the information or to draw connections with other memories.
    • Charles Black
       
      I think this is another big problem in education - information overload. Students may not be able to remember things quick enough, and so much information is out there online that it can be hard to navigate through it all.

Everything Bad Is Good for You by Steven Johnson | Quarterly Conversation - 0 views

  • IQ scores have been increasing at an astounding and regular rate for the past 75 years.
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      Would others agree that this has to have something to do with the amount of time and energy we are increasingly afforded to spend on education? We are becoming smarter about how to education students. Therefore people can pass down those developmental hand-ups to their children, so on and so forth for 75 years. 
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      We also live in a more complicated world than people did 75 years ago, which requires people's minds to adapt to the changes that have come our way.
