Proposed career tiers for teachers questioned | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegi... - 6 views

  •  
    "I'm concerned we are talking about education and we didn't have teachers and parents at the table because these meetings were held during the day," said Kathleen Almelien, a retired teacher from Washington. "I'm glad this is just a blueprint because we need their input."

Why We Like Diigo - School Computing - 0 views

  • While an overall annotation can be helpful when sharing resources, thoughtful comments tied to specific portions of the text are more illuminating. These localized comments also lead to fruitful conversations more often than do summary comments.

      This is a powerful use of Diigo that we would like to harness in our moodle class; supports higher level thinking, active engagement, and builds the community of learners.

In Florida, Virtual Classrooms With No Teachers - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “There is no doubt that blended learning can be as effective and often more effective than a classroom,” said Mr. Moore, who is also editor of The American Journal of Distance Education. He said, however, that research and his experiences had shown that proper design and teacher instruction within the classroom were necessary. A facilitator who only monitors student progress and technical issues within virtual labs would not be categorized as part of a blended-learning model, he said. Other variables include “the maturity and sophistication of the student,” he said.

      If done well, the blended program seems like the best way to go, but unfortunately, money again seems to make the decisions, not what is best for students. Does it say how many teachers per student for the online version?

Online Learning: The Pros And Cons Of K-12 Computer Courses - 0 views

  • The analysis did find that students in online conditions performed modestly better, on average, than those learning the same material through traditional face-to-face instruction.

      It seems like there are so many variables for this to be a sound statement.
  • In Florida, thousands of students now rely solely on computers instead of teachers for their daily virtual lessons. And lawmakers are planning to expand online instruction to even more students.

      What about classes that need hands on work? Industrial technology, certain types of art, science labs

    "Proponents of online classes say they are a cost-effective alternative to traditional instruction that provide students more flexibility in their learning, as well as access to a greater variety of options. They allow schools to offer makeup courses, additional electives and Advanced Placement classes which they wouldn't be able to otherwise. However, there isn't much research on the effectiveness of these virtual courses. Critics argue online learning will be used as a way for school districts to cut corners on spending -- to the detriment of their students' educations."

Information Investigator 3 by Carl Heine on Prezi - 6 views

  •  
    What if every student (and educator) was a good online researcher?  I know, you don't have the time to teach information fluency skills.  What if you could get a significant advance is skills with just a 2 -3  hour time commitment?  Here's a great Prezi 'fly by" of the new Information Investigator 3.1 online self paced class.  Watch the presentation carefully to find the link to a free code to take the class for evaluation purposes.

    Oh, this is sooooo neat! If you are disappointed with the lack of sophistication of google presentations (on google docs), you have to check out 280 Slides! I haven't used it, but it looks like it provides high quality themes and you can easily embed videos!
