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.

      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?

  • 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.

      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?

Weblogg-ed » If Every Student Had a Computer - 0 views

  • 120 or so teachers from Victoria who are part of a pilot where all of their students will have netbooks in hand in the next few months. There seems to be a growing commitment here to put technology in the hands of kids (instead of spending huge sums on stuff that students can’t use outside of the classroom) and to thinking about how practice and pedagogy changes when that happens. T

      America......are you listening??????????????????????????

      Of course, there's more to this story, isn't there? Once you purchase the equipment (not cheap) there is also the need to make sure that your network can handle it. If not, nobody will use the laptops - at least not to the extent that they COULD be used. And then, the idea of suggesting that districts increae their budgets so that the program could be sustained, is a tough sell. Yet, the alternative is to remain stuck in the 20th century mentality and approach to teaching and learning.
  • E5 (pdf) that I’ll be giving some more attention to on the plane ride home but that at first blush has some interesting language that focuses more on learning than teaching.

      I want to check this out.
  • It’s not just about if every student had a computer; it’s about if every teacher had a computer as well. (As opposed to if every teacher had a whiteboard.) Imagine if our students were being taught in systems where technology was just a natural part of the way we created and constructed and connected and learned, that it was how we do our business. S
