Five-Minute Film Festival: 8 Interactive Video Tools for Engaging Learners | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Huzzaz (26) is about discovery and curation of videos -- it's an easy way to collect, sort, and take notes on your playlists, from both YouTube and Vimeo. If you love gathering videos on themes, you'll find this tool very powerful. Or, have your students curate playlists on choice topics! See an example (27).
  • Similar to Zaption, teacher-founded eduCanon (23) allows you to supplement a chosen video with all manner of add-ons to make it more interactive, from "reflective pauses" to audio clips to multiple-choice questions. You can also track responses with this tool. See an example (24).
  • VideoNot.es (20) is an app that allows you to take live time-coded notes on any video, and skip around by clicking on those notes -- and even better, it's integrated with Google Drive so saving and syncing your notes is simple. You have to install it to see this example (21).
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Add Questions and Quizzes to YouTube Videos! (17) (00:45) This one is on the bare bones side, as YouTube has plenty of other features to work on -- but if you need something quick and easy, you can also add questions to your own uploaded YouTube videos with YouTube's Questions Editor (18) (still in beta mode).
  • Wanting to string a few videos together and add text and graphics overlays? Metta (15) is the tool for you -- although it had one of the more confusing interfaces on the list. Still, it's unique from the others in that it's creating less of a wrapper than a whole new media experience, a mashup -- for some applications, this could be amazing. See an example (16).
  • How to Use Vialogues (10) (04:54) If you'd like to have a discussion around a particular video, Vialogues (11) is a useful way to allow threaded conversations on a clip. You can also add surveys and open-ended questions with this tool, which was developed by the EdLab at Columbia University Teachers College (12). See an example (13).
  • TED-Ed Website Tour (7) (03:08) Most educators know TED-Ed (8) publishes amazing animations, but did you know their platform allows users to build lessons by adding questions and notes to any video on YouTube? The elegant interface allows your students to watch and then dig deeper into resources you've provided, via a unique URL that allows you to track their responses. See an example (9).
  • With Zaption (4), transform your students from passive watchers to active learners by adding links, multiple-choice questions, polls, discussions, and more to any video to create a "tour" -- or group a few together for a more complex lesson. Check out the tutorials on Zaption's YouTube channel (5); they also offer analytics to see if your tours are engaging. See some examples (6).

    "It's no secret that I am a passionate advocate for using video in the classroom. When used well, videos can help students make connections to people and ideas beyond their usual frame of reference. That's why I've been really excited to see a wave of new (and mostly free or low-cost!) tech tools recently that enable teachers to take favorite clips and make them more valuable for educational use. Whether you use videos to flip your classroom or you just appreciate the power of video to engage kids, maybe one of the tools in my playlist below will help you go deeper in 2014."

  • 1. Facebook Enables Recruiter to Do Personality Profiling
  • Remarkably, one ground breaking study has shown that Facebook personality profiling can be more reliable than professional personality profiling tools. The point is, like it or not, Facebook now allows recruiters to do personality profiling to a level that was not achievable via a CV.
  • 2. Social Media Profiles Can Be More Reliable Than CV data
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • the data is subject to public scrutiny, meaning lies can be more easily exposed on a Linked-In profile than they can on a CV, which means there is less room for dishonesty on Linked-In profiles than there is on a CV.
  • Linked-In profile data is arguably more trustworthy than a CV
  • a professionally prepared Linked-In profile (which is sitting in the public domain) may be more trustworthy than a professionally prepared CV.
  • 3. Linked-In Users Can Include Recommendations from Instantly Traceable Sources
  • Linked-In allows users to include verifiable recommendations from other Linked-In users which can be instantly traced back to the referee’s live Linked-In profile. This offers a level of credibility that CVs simply cannot match. .
  • 4. Social Media Profiles Are a Richer Source of Content than CVs
  • while it is still important that you produce a CV to a professional standard and deliver as required to a potential employer, I think that this is becoming an academic exercise. I think the CV will be used much more as a signal of intent and, as evidence shows many of the decisions about the candidate’s job suitability will be based on the social media profile.
  • my recommendation that candidates begin developing and maintaining a high quality social media presence if they are to maximize their chances of landing their dream job.

  • “Many previous studies have been criticized because any link you might observe between breastfeeding and childhood intelligence could be explained by those other factors,” Belfort told FoxNews.com
  •  At age 3, the children underwent the higher Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, a measure of receptive language, or how well a child understands language.
  • for each additional month that a child was breastfed, through a year, their language score was .2 points higher – a statistically significant finding.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • at age 7, the same children were assessed using the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, a measure of the child’s IQ. For this test, each additional month that a child was breastfed through a year was correlated with an increase in IQ score by a third of a point – another statistically significant discovery.
  • However, when children took the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning, which specifically tests memory and learning capabilities, the difference between children who were breastfed and those who weren’t was not significant.
  • authors were also interested in exploring whether or not there was a link between a mother’s consumption of fish and the intelligence of children who were breastfed – though they did not find any significant effect there either.
  • Though researchers were able to distinguish a small but clear link between breastfeeding and cognitive development, they remain uncertain as to why breast milk appears to be superior to infant formula.
  • Belfort noted that the study’s findings support national recommendations urging women to breastfeed exclusively through age 6 months and to continue at least partial breastfeeding through 1 year of age.
  • “The cognitive advantage is relatively small so people need to weigh many, many different factors in making this decision.”
  • “Turn off the TV, talk to your baby, read to your baby, play with your baby. Those are really important ways to stimulate baby’s development.”
  • izz aty on 31 Jul 13
     
    "Belfort and her colleagues gathered data from 1,312 mothers and children in the United States, tracking everything from the mother's frequency of breastfeeding to other factors including the mother's intelligence, the mother and father's education levels, measures of the home environment, the mother's employment and the type of childcare the baby received."

We bolded the emphasized syllable and included links for audio (click the word to listen).

Wifehood and Motherhood are Not the Only Ways to Paradise - 0 views

shared by izz aty on 10 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Why, as a general community, are we not putting the same pressure on women to encourage them to continue to seek Islamic knowledge? Higher education? To make objectives in their lives which will carry over and aid them in their future familial lives, if such is what is meant for them? Perhaps it’s because we’re obsessed with the idea that women need to get married and become mothers and that if they don’t, they have not reached true success. We all know the honorable and weighty status of wifehood and motherhood in Islam. We all know that marriage completes half your deen1 and that the Prophet ﷺ (peace be upon him) has told us about the mother, “[…] Paradise is at her feet.”2 But getting married and becoming a mother is not the only way to get into Paradise. And not every grown woman is a wife and/or mother, nor will ever be. Some women will eventually become wives and/or mothers, if Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He) blesses them with such, but for others, Allah (swt) has blessed them with other opportunities.

    "I used to smoke weed a lot. Throughout my four years of college, I probably smoked weed once a day on average (this average includes, for example, two-week stints of zero smoking as well as month-long binges of heavy consumption, when I'd smoke two to four times a day). My third year of school, I did an exchange program in Holland. The point is, I have been, at times, a total stoner. So, I mean: I get weed. I get it. But I quit smoking awhile ago, and now I think it sucks. Here's why."

  • 1851 the first Efterskole founded at Ryslinge, Fyn (Funen).
  • 1996 the Danish Parliament in a significant law reform tightens up and emphasises the conditions for receiving state funding: an Efterskole must (prove itself to) be free and independent. Under no circumstances may the school from a legal point of view have strong organisational and financial links to – or be dependent on – other schools or movements.
  • Each Efterskole must be truly free and independent, and "master in its own house". This puts even more responsibility on the school board.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 2000 the latest Efterskole Act introduces a new rule that each Efterskole must define and describe its own (and specific) basic values. A critical self-evaluation must be made at the end of each school year.
  • 1994 municipal grants are made compulsory, which improves and equalises the economical conditions for students (and their parents) – independent of their local council. In the following years the result is evident: a broader section of the population can now afford to choose the Efterskole – and so they do. The 1994 act also transfers significantly more assessments, decisions, and responsibility from central level (Ministry of Education) to the local school board. Essential topics like the educational plan and the approval of a new headmaster lie from this point entirely in the hands of the school board.
  • 1967 the Efterskole is permitted to prepare students to pass some of the public final examinations. From this point the Efterskole ceases to be closely linked to the Folkehøjskole tradition – at least in the aspect of nonformal education. On the other hand, the Efterskole still offers the special educational environment linked to residential education, which is also an important aspect of the Folkehøjskole tradition and, in its educational practice, it has definitely not left the path of ‘enlightenment for life’. One could claim that from this point the Efterskole tries to balance between different educational ideas and requirements.

If you haven't heard about that, be warned - research may leave you feeling decidedly ill.
