David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts » The Pro-D Flip - 4 views

  •  
    Professional Development for me used to be about going to sessions on specific days and then trying to 'bring back' what I've learned and incorporate it into my daily practice. Sometimes this was very challenging, I would get inundated with new information and find it very hard to apply what I learned into what I did on a day-to-day basis. Often my notes would be filed away, not to be seen again.

Katherine von Jan: Pursue Passion: Demand Google 20% Time at School - 1 views

  •  
    Google's "20% Time", inspired by Sergey Brin's and Larry Page's Montessori School experience, is a philosophy and policy that every Google employee spend 20% of their time (the equivalent of a full work day each week) working on ideas and projects that interest that employee. They are encouraged to explore anything other than their normal day-to-day job. As a result 50% of all Google's products by 2009 originated from the 20% free time, including Gmail. Real break-through happens when we are free from others' expectations and driven by individual passion.

Textbook Publishers and OERs | e-Literate - 0 views

  •  
    Let's just be open about where we are. OERs are coming. We don't know much about what's going to work and what isn't yet. Government and the public sector have a role. Individuals and informal networked communities have a role. Textbook companies and the private sector have a role too. We're all trying to improve students' opportunities to make their lives better.

Cut your marking by a third. « Martin Jorgensen - 7 views

  • Screencasting doesn’t replace traditional feedback in the classroom, but what it does do is give you a powerful alternate method of reaching students where it can be most effective. Recorded asynchronous feedback allows the student to reflect on your feedback in their own time, at their own pace.
  • What I have quickly discovered however is that this restriction is a boon. It forces me to consider the most important, most achievable goals for improvement the student needed to consider.
  •  
    Over the last few years I've been using screencasting more and more to reach students with feedback that's delivered at a time, place and pace that suits them. Screencast software enables you to capture a video for the student of what is occurring on your laptop or desktop computer screen, and record your voice to accompany it.

131 - US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs | Strange Maps | Big Think - 0 views

  •  
    The creator of this map has had the interesting idea to break down that gigantic US GDP into the GDPs of individual states, and compare those to other countries' GDP. What follows, is this slightly misleading map - misleading, because the economies both of the US states and of the countries they are compared with are not weighted for their respective populations.
