  • As a matter of course, technology is also changing the way teachers teach -- from how they engage their students and manage their classrooms, to how they shape their working day, manage their professional lives -- and indeed how they think about a career in education.
  • this is affecting the way she manages the class.
  • "Firstly, I teach in smaller grabs of time," she says, "but this is a good thing. I personally believe that teaching has long been too auditory. It is important to cater for different perceptual styles -- visual, auditory and kinesthetic (learning by doing) -- especially when teaching younger children."

  • Before the internet, to be a teacher you had to be everything in one person. Now there is a range of possibilities and many more people can become part of the education process,"

      Maybe a good conversation starter for technoLOTE?
  • "This is not to diminish the role of educators to simply and an administrative job," she says. "Teaching is an intellectual skill. It is the art of getting people to expand their minds, have insights, develop values and to grow emotionally. That will not change."

  • “It is no accident that most of these early examples of creation spaces are initially attracting individuals rather than institutions.  Passionate individuals (that’s you) naturally seek out these creation spaces to get better faster, while most institutions are still deeply concerned about protection of knowledge stocks and do not yet see the growing importance of knowledge flows in driving performance improvement.  As passionate individuals engage and experience the performance benefits of participation, they will help to drag institutions more broadly into relevant creation spaces, becoming catalysts for the institutional innovations required for effective participation.”

      Thanks so much Tony it also looks like 'intuitive' flow will become the norm, pre-paving the way for mind transference, of course it's totally serendipitous of you to alert me to this site and I've also been meaning to look at John Seely Brown....if intuitive serendipitous learning does become validated as mainstream this surely is consciousness SHIFT. Then time wont be a problem! We will reach for the solutions and they will be here already. Yes I know its a bigger jump but it's a natural extension and one outcome I already see in my own life. mmm think I'll repost this on the site itself to show my appreciation. This has huge impact on learning but massive for society.

    "We are literally pushed into educational systems designed to anticipate our needs over twelve or more years of schooling and our key needs for skills over the rest of our lives. As we successfully complete this push program, we graduate into firms and other institutions that are organized around push approaches to resource mobilization. Detailed demand forecasts, operational plans, and operational process manuals carefully script the actions and specify the resources required to meet anticipated demand."

  • data that is accessible and transportable and managed by its rightful owner — you
  • Backing up your data is just the first step, of course, a function that saves a seat for an entirely different function eventually.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • When I am finally able to join my data from disparate services with a unified view and the right accompanying toolset, I’ll be able to do all kinds of derivation and detection
  • The tension between data that is sold or bestowed and data that is found or acquired is, for now, a productive dynamic.
  • We’ll see open data disrupt industries and verticals ranging from air travel to journalism to religion. We’ll see new kinds of museum displays, classrooms
  • Data knows everything we know, everything we don’t know, and, as it turns out, even a few things we don’t know we don’t know.

    true data science involves a heavy dose of machine learning, code skills, math chops and deep domain expertise.

    In today's schools, most research is completed online, and Google is a great resource for combing the web. But at the same time, it's not always easy to find exactly what you want, given that there are usually millions of results - with varying degrees of accuracy. These tricks can help you find the best results, while saving time and making your life easier.

    Three legends can be seen as variations on one central theme, namely, that it is the learner who knows best and that she or he should be the controlling force in her or his learning. Digital natives, learning styles and learners as self-educators are all discussed.

    Insights drawn from neuroscience not only provide educators with a scientific basis for understanding some of the best practices in teaching, but also offer a new lens through which to look at the problems teachers grapple with every day. By gaining insights into how the brain works-and how students actually learn-teachers will be able to create their own solutions to the classroom challenges they face and improve their practice. see video
