METU EDS 544

We can see a brief overview of these stages which used examples for each levels..

It is really weird to watch the reasonings and answers although we read that they are so. I was surprised once again.

Yes hatice, actually I can go on applying the theory to my cousin by hiding it from Yengem, it is unethical I know:). May be I should wait until I have my own children. I can give permission myself to apply Piaget's theory to my children, no problem:), I agree saime, in one ofthe video a little girl was shown a simple triangle and was asked to draw exactly what she saw, and she drew a different sketch and showed the corners of her triangle that was completely in different places. It was in the video that Evrim Hoca posted to Diigo, I guess.

Good for concrete understanding of Piaget's approach

It's a funny video on the Mental Processes of Cognition.It exemplifies the stages of reasoning

Hope to see a similar result for Fatih project.

Here I think the most important phrase is "when used properly". "Peggy Johnson, Qualcomm's president of global market development, believes that the improvement comes because students using smartphones have easier access to information at any time of day or night. They are also able to keep in contact with their classmates and even their teachers, which helps them stay on top of everything that goes on in school." When students have enough motivation to allocate more time to use these devices for such activities stated above, the finding that their learning is increased can be supported. Here again we reach the conclusion: How to use technology is important, since it is just a tool, and can well be used as a toy instead of educational material.

Is this a case of learning or transfering the existing information without assimilating or accommodating into the classroom environment via technology? I think the meaning of learning is also changing. In near future, there will be no learning like we do I guess.

Several applications of Advance Organizers in one video. I really needed that since I had not be able to understand what is the real purpose of AOs since teacher activities about them had seemed to me that they do not converge. However, after watching the video, I think that advance organizers includes key components that students should know for using it to deepen their knowledge about a specific topic. To illustrate, in one practice, students ranked several telecommunication devices in terms of their importance before designing their own device. They first learned/remembered the key components of available devices and their importance and their use, and using this initial knowledge, they started to design a new device. Without examining prior devices (without looking at how telecommunication devices look like or how they function or what are their similarities or differences), it would be harder to think of a new device.

Think about the question!

Do you agree?

Content and Language Integrated Learning is one of the most famous issues of language world today and Turkey is getting involved more.

Seeing such a mass of theory into one place makes me happy. Thank you :)

An interesting project. A collection of photographs of different classrooms in different countries.

Every picture tells that in a classroom or whatever the classroom is you can not make a hundred percent of students happy. Am I right? Thanks for sharing

A single picture can explain and describe many cases sometimes. This website is doing so.

E-learning compelled to investigate definitions of time and places. For training of mass it saves a lot of money, energy and time. But what about one-to-one face to face learning. I wonder whether there is an effect of looking through a screen and looking through to the lively eyes?

I am not sure about we have talked about it or not,just wanted to share
