    This website is off of the horizon report. I think it is very helpful. It is useful to me because it is connecting real world sensors with it. Its talking about how it is turning the environment green and also how the plants have an effect in it.

    This one talks about when students use wiki. Most teachers do not allow you to use wiki due to the fact that it is completely open and FREEDOM. Anyone can go on there and change things that are not true and you may think they are true if you don't know. So because this is a highly changed sight this causes the freedom of the internet to be bad sometimes.

    This workshop session at WebWise 2012 shows that museums are looking at gamifying just like everyone else. Anything to increase engagement. Whether you like it or not, it is time for some serious scholarly research. "Last year, Nielsen Research found that online games overtook personal email to become the second most heavily used internet activity behind social networks. While most museum and library professionals aren't aiming to create the next FarmVille or Angry Birds, games have the potential to be meaningful learning tools and prompt real-world action."

  • 5 Apps Being Used in the Classroom Right Now Published 21 July, 2011 Multimedia & Digital 8 Comments Tags: Apps, Blackboard Mobile Learn, byki, Classroom, Dictionary.com, Digital, Mobile apps, Motion Math, Multimedia, Sarah Fudin, World Wiki tweetmeme_url = 'http://oupeltglobalblog.com/2011/07/21/5-apps-being-used-in-the-classroom-right-now/'; tweetmeme_alias = 'http://wp.me/pLaO9-LP'; tweetmeme_source = '”OUPELTGlobal”'; In this post, Sarah Fudin, a community relations coordinator for the University of Southern California’s online Masters Degree in Teaching program, shares 5 mobile apps that teachers are already using in the classroom to aid learning. Apple’s catchy tagline — “There’s an app for that” — is proving to be true in today’s classroom. Educational apps that are well designed and highly interactive engage students and make learning more enjoyable. A quick online survey shows that there are hundreds of apps available for every educational level, from pre-Kindergarten to college. Many schools are putting iPads into the hands of students in the classroom. Even in classrooms where only the teacher has an iPad, Apple’s Video Mirroring technology allows the screen image from an iPad to be shared with the class via a projection screen or HDTV. Here are five extraordinarily useful Apple and Android apps that are being used in classrooms across the country right now:
  • This Apple app provides quick access to detailed information about more than 200 countries around the globe. According to Macworld, World Wiki uses data from the official CIA World Factbook. Country data includes maps, flags, native language, motto and national statistics, with more detailed information about a country’s government, economy and geography also available. World Wiki’s presentation and depth of information make it a useful tool for teachers and students of all educational levels, with particularly innovative applications in the ESL / TESOL teacher’s classroom, where bridging the cultural gap may sometimes be challenging.
  • No roundup of educational apps would be complete without mentioning this app, which is listed as the #1 app for students by U.S. News & World Report. Over 1 million words from Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com are included in this app, along with audio pronunciation, word origins and example sentences. The app can be downloaded free of charge for iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices and conveniently works without an Internet connection. As technology continues to advance and become even more ubiquitous, permeating our everyday lives and routines, it is certain that the classroom of the future will also become more high-tech. The apps being used by teachers and students today are only the latest wave of the digital revolution sweeping over education. As the processes and programs currently available are advanced and refined, technology will offer teachers and students even better ways to work, to connect and, of course, to learn.

Penetrating the Fog: Analytics in Learning and Education (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 1 views

  • But the most dramatic factor shaping the future of higher education is something that we can’t actually touch or see: big data and analytics. Basing decisions on data and evidence seems stunningly obvious, and indeed, research indicates that data-driven decision-making improves organizational output and productivity.
  • According to the 1st International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge, “learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs.”
  • Analytics spans the full scope and range of activity in higher education, affecting administration, research, teaching and learning, and support resources.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • How do big data and analytics generate value for higher education? They can improve administrative decision-making and organizational resource allocation. They can identify at-risk learners and provide intervention to assist learners in achieving success. By analyzing discussion messages posted, assignments completed, and messages read in LMSs such as Moodle and Desire2Learn, educators can identify students who are at risk of dropping out.13 They can create, through transparent data and analysis, a shared understanding of the institution’s successes and challenges. They can innovate and transform the college/university system, as well as academic models and pedagogical approaches. They can assist in making sense of complex topics through the combination of social networks and technical and information networks: that is, algorithms can recognize and provide insight into data and at-risk challenges. They can help leaders transition to holistic decision-making through analyses of what-if scenarios and experimentation to explore how various elements within a complex discipline (e.g., retaining students, reducing costs) connect and to explore the impact of changing core elements. They can increase organizational productivity and effectiveness by providing up-to-date information and allowing rapid response to challenges. They can help institutional leaders determine the hard (e.g., patents, research) and soft (e.g., reputation, profile, quality of teaching) value generated by faculty activity.14 They can provide learners with insight into their own learning habits and can give recommendations for improvement. Learning-facing analytics, such as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Check My Activity tool, allows learners to “compare their own activity . . . against an anonymous summary of their course peers.”15

      Number two talks about customizing learning through analytics by  recognizing at-risk learners and helping them learn better.

      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      Number nine also talks about customizing how students are taught. It says that Learning Analytics "can provide learners with insight into their own learning habits and can give recommendations for improvement."
  • Analytics in education must be transformative, altering existing teaching, learning, and assessment processes, academic work, and administration.
    • Tess T
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      This right here is directly talking about using learning analytics to customize   how students are taught
  • Undoubtedly, analytics and big data have a significant role to play in the future of higher education. The growing role of analysis techniques and technologies in government and business sectors affirms this trend. In education the value of analytics and big data can be found in (1) their role in guiding reform activities in higher education, and (2) how they can assist educators in improving teaching and learning.
    • Tess T
      Tess T on 12 Mar 12
       
      So pretty much this is saying that Learning Analytics can improve education because it can assist educators and help them improve their teaching and education based off of the data that they find about their students

      Learning Analytics helps educators find out whats wrong and change it around the student so the student can get the best education possible
  • Learning analytics is essential for penetrating the fog that has settled over much of higher education. Educators, students, and administrators need a foundation on which to enact change. For educators, the availability of real-time insight into the performance of learners—including students who are at-risk—can be a significant help in the planning of teaching activities. For students, receiving information about their performance in relation to their peers or about their progress in relation to their personal goals can be motivating and encouraging. Finally, administrators and decision-makers are today confronted with tremendous uncertainty in the face of budget cuts and global competition in higher education. Learning analytics can penetrate the fog of uncertainty around how to allocate resources, develop competitive advantages, and most important, improve the quality and value of the learning experience.

      This is a super helpful and straight forward answer to the question "how can learning analytics improve education." You can't get any clearer that that!

    This source was written by George Siemens,who works in the Technology Enhanced Knowledge Research Institute at Athabasca University, and Phil Long, a Director of the Centre for Education Innovaton and Technology at the University of Queensland.  This site talks about how Analytics are used and what they are used for in Education
  • alliem_pphs on 14 Mar 12
     
    I really think this website can help anyone with a "foggy" idea of learning analytics.  Explains what to do with them above and beyond.  Woo hoo.

    This article is about how data mining and research can help make decisions. This process is using statistical information instead of using informal guessing. It is beginning to be used on a wide level including medicine , business , and social programs and schools. It also says that education most have a reform and learning anaylitcs will have the biggest impact in deciding what will change or what will be added. So many of the students now a days spends time on the internet with social media and this leaves a foot print which leaves data of how their learning process works. Learning anaylitics is important because it benefits administrative and student purposes.

  • drop out loud from high school.
  • Will they stay dropped out? Will they school themselves, or abandon learning altogether? What was it that education was supposed to do for them? Will museums play a role in their learning? The Zed Omegas will be listening; will the people of the Internet be able to make this turn out right?
