  • Weinberger presents us with a long, fascinating account of how knowledge itself changes in the age of the Internet
  • That is, the kind of question whose answer depends on what you, personally, do to make the answer come true.

The Global Search for Education: Can Tech Help Students Learn? | C. M. Rubin - 0 views

  • teachers who are more inclined and better prepared for what are known as student-oriented teaching practices, such as group work, individualized learning, and project work, are more likely to use digital resources. But in many cases, teachers were not adequately prepared to use the kind of teaching methods that make the most of technology
  • Overall, the most successful plans were incremental and built on lessons learned from previous plans.
  • There is increasing recognition of the important role of teachers in education. But we need to go beyond the idea that teaching is an art that requires exceptional talent. There are exceptional teachers, but we need to support the professional development of all teachers, and we can do so if we invest in the scientific base of the teaching profession and empower those very exceptional teachers to become leaders who inspire other teachers.Technology offers great tools in this respect. I'm thinking of platforms for collaboration in knowledge creation, where teachers can share and enrich teaching materials; of the amount of data that can be collected to measure students' learning; or of the increasing use of blended learning models in teachers' training, in which online lectures are combined with individualized expert support and feedback from peers. Because they enable feedback loops between theory and everyday classroom practice and are supported by a network of like-minded peers, these models have been found to be much more effective than the traditional model of courses, workshops, conferences and seminars

  • Integrating technology successfully in education is not so much a matter of choosing the right device, the right amount of time to spend with it, the best software or the right digital textbook. The key elements for success are the teachers, school leaders and other decision makers who have the vision, and the ability, to make the connection between students, computers and learning.I would encourage all educators to invest in their professional knowledge about how technology can improve their work practices.

  • The "Hole in the Wall" project demonstrates that, even in the absence of any direct input from a teacher, an environment that stimulates curiosity can cause learning through self-instruction and peer-shared knowledge.

    I wonder if 'ask Mr YouTube' comes under the category of peer-shared knowledge? I think the gaming community might think it does if the industry of 'let's play' videos is any indication. I wonder then if this industry might also come under the category of student-generated learning?

  • or example, procedural knowledge such as how to do first aid or fix a car; or a fixed body of knowledge such as human anatomy (for the medical field) or the study of law is typically best taught through a more teacher directed, “pedagogical” style.

  • But I do believe it is important to point out that a powerful emerging educational movement strengthens the currently dominant academic culture, perhaps making it more difficult for alternative voices to be heard.
  • djplaner on 08 Sep 14
     
    One of the critiques of MOOCs that perhaps can be applied to broader ideas of NGL - or at least need to be considered. In particular this links to the under-developed aspect of NGL in this course - global learning.

  • whenever you’re thinking about nothing in particular
  • Universities, businesses and government agencies all compete for cognitive “talent,” and they frequently rely on intelligence testing to help them find it. Meanwhile, the evidence that intelligence testing may not work as advertised has been growing
  • you have to think of intelligence — when defined as problem-solving ability — not as a singular quality but as a spectrum. On one end is deductive, rules-based reasoning and on the other is imaginative, possibilities-based improvisation
  • our apparently mindless moments are actually humming with cognitive activity. Instead of letting moments of free time slip away, they say, our brains “capitalize on them to consolidate past experience in ways that are adaptive for our future needs.”
  • Like any human performance metric — IQ, LSAT scores, batting averages — the imagination quotient is intended to predict a competitive advantage
  • “If you have an imaginative capability to envision future possibilities, alternatives and scenarios — that’s going to be predictive [of success] across the board,” he says.

    Albert Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Hopefully there would be more scope in future educational systems to measure those skills. Can imagination be measured in all subjects? In the visual arts, I certainly think it could. Even just from observation in my art classes, it doesn't take much to see which students can "think for themselves" and come up with intelligent solutions to creative problems.

Learning by Design: TPACK in Action - EdITLib Digital Library - 0 views

  • To help teachers develop TPACK, Learning by Design (LBD) is one promising instructional model for creating such a learning environment, addressing the situated nature and complex interplay of technology, pedagogy and content.
  • thaleia66 on 03 Nov 15
     
    "One criticism of skill-focused technology training, a common practice in teacher preparation, is that these experiences develop teachers' technological knowledge and skills, but fail to challenge their underlying beliefs about teaching and learning, which are more fundamental barriers to technology integration (Ertmer 1999). This criticism stems from the argument that technology knowledge and skills alone are insufficient for teachers to utilize technology and initiate educational change."

  • A second problem is an over focus on the individual and insufficient focus on their interactions and the need to engage in those interactions
  • Focusing on the individual in isolation from the community is a form of neo-liberal disenfranchisement
  • djplaner on 23 Oct 15
     
    The topic of this post is not directly related to NGL. What I think is relevant/important is the quote an over focus on the individual and insufficient focus on their interactions and the need to engage in those interactions Which I think is a perspective/problem that resonates with NGL. NGL at some level is about encouraging, enabling, and thinking about the interactions - the connections. As you are thinking about your DBR projects, consider how, if, and what your project is doing about the interactions between the people and objects within your particular context. For a concrete example, I'll turn to a particular bandwagon of mine. A couple of people have "as teacher" roles that involve helping teachers use digital technologies effectively. Often the problem here is framed as digital literacy. The individual teacher doesn't know enough about technology to fix the problem. The common solution is to do some form of Professional Development so that the individual can develop the knowledge. Which for me, brings back the quote. - "focus on the individual and insufficient focus on their interactions" A NGL solution to this problem would - I think - focus more (but not entirely) on the interactions.

    George Siemen's Introduction to his Blog: Learning analytics is hardly new. It has roots in various fields, including business intelligence, HCI, assessment/evaluation, and research models in general. What is new, however, is the rise of quantity and quality of data being capture as learners engage in learning processes. As a consequence of better and more data, analytics have gained attention in education.

    Learning analytics may have its limitations, but it is an existing tool that can be used to analyse activity in networked learning.
