Learn It In 5 - Students demo wiki and Diigo use in classroom - 5 views

  •  
    Great resource for teaching students how to use the tools. Students would rather watch a video instead of listen to the teacher talk, and why not watch a video created by another student?
  •  
    WOW! You could get lost in this site rather quickly. I'm often looking for "activating strategies" and usually discoverystreaming is my "go to" source for video clips. Now this site will be another resource for me to use!
  •  
    Agree with Rich why not use other students to explain how to use the tool. I only think of the endless possibilities you could use to collaborate on different readings or assignments using the tool.

100 Apps for Tech-Savvy Teachers | Diigo - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great page that shows different applications for the iPhone that are designed to assist educators. They include test generators, plagiarizing catching tools, and organizational tools. I also noticed that Moodle is on here, and I want to download that to make my time at Harrisburg University easier as I live with my iPhone. I have not heard of many of these applications, but they look like helpful resources.

Blogging helps encourage teen writing | Top News | eSchoolNews.com - 9 views

  • Blogging is helping many teens become more prolific writers.

      Wow! What a statement!

      I know!
  • it and revise their writing on a computer, the report says. Nearly six in 10 students (57 percent) say they edit and revise more frequently when they write using a computer. Teens who use a computer in their non-school writing believe computers have a greater impact on the amount of writing they produce than on the overall quality of their writing. Yet, there is a great deal of ambiguity with respect to the impact of computers in each of these areas. Among teens who use computers in their non-school writing, four in 10 say computers help them do more writing, and a similar number believe they would write the same amount whether they used computers or not. In comparison, only three in 10 teens who write on computers for non-school purposes at least occasionally believe computers help them do better writing–and twice as many (63 percent) say computers make no difference in the quality of their writing. Parents are more likely than teens to believe that internet-based writing (such as eMail and instant messaging) affects writing skills overall, though both groups are split on whether electronic communications help or hurt. Nonetheless, 73 percent of teens and 40 percent of parents believe internet writing makes no difference either way. Most students (82 percent) believe that additional instruction and focus on writing in school would help improve their writing even further–and more than three-quarters of those surveyed (78 percent) think it would help their writing if their teachers used computer-based writing tools such as games, multimedia, or writing software programs or web sites during class. The telephone-based survey of 700 U.S. residents ages 12 to 17 and their parents was conducted last year from Sept. 19 to Nov. 16 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.

Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the comparative studies were done in colleges and adult continuing-education programs of various kinds, from medical training to the military.
    • anonymous
       
      I think that this fact is VERY important if one is going to draw a conclusion for K12, dont you?
  • “The study’s major significance lies in demonstrating that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than conventional instruction,”
    • anonymous
       
      I would agree, as long as we're talking about colleges and adult learners, but I don't think we can naturally draw the same conclusion for k12 where the learners are less intrinsically motivated.
  • But the report does suggest that online education could be set to expand sharply over the next few years, as evidence mounts of its value.

      Is your district ready for this?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The real promise of online education, experts say, is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more “learning by doing,” which many students find more engaging and useful.
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, if there's enough time to 'cover' all the material that you must, in order to be ready for the PSSA tests.
  • “People are correct when they say online education will take things out the classroom. But they are wrong, I think, when they assume it will make learning an independent, personal activity. Learning has to occur in a community.
    • anonymous
       
      Really? Well, if that's true, THEN can we get the social learning tools like Diigo, unblocked in school? Or, must schools ignore the evidence and continue plodding along in isolation?
  •  
    I would agree that for colleges and adult learners it might be, but I'm not convinced that the same holds true for K12.

    How is YOUR district prepared to handle this?
  •  
    Learning has to occur in a community, eh? If that's true, THEN can we get twitter, skype, Flickr, youtube, Diigo, etc unblocked so we can take advantage of that community?
  •  
    VERY significant, don't you think?

  •  
    If you are not involved in your own district conferences (which I know many are) next week here's an opportunity to plug into what seems to be an event with endless 2.0 resources/topics. I have not engaged in this event in the past. If any affiliated with this diigo group network have partaken in the past...please provide for me feedback of your experience with this event. Thank you in advance!
