Although the CO2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the CO2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high. "

Moving past the days of the old school yard - the Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Society confronts educational change in an odd, entirely counter intuitive manner. On one hand we acknowledge that education can and should do a better job of preparing our children for the future while on the other we cling to the models of education that we knew. This led educational writer Will Richardson to state that 'the biggest barrier to rethinking schooling in response to the changing worldscape is our own experience in schools'. Our understandings of what school should be like and our imaginings of what school could be like are so clouded by this experience that even the best evidence for change is overlooked or mistrusted.

The rewards of highly collaborative teams - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Not that long ago I was a writer of interesting and engaging educational programmes. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. the programmes that I wrote and shared with a team of teachers were generally well accepted and the feedback offered was always politely positive. I enjoyed writing these programmes but in recent times I have enjoyed even more stepping away from this process and in doing so empowering the team of teachers that I learn with. the programmes that this team produces far exceed the quality I could ever have hoped to produce but more importantly the students are benefiting from their experience of highly engaged and thus engaging teachers.

    Post by Nick Moran. "The platform is perfectly suited for dynamic storytelling, and as a direct result, it is home to some of The friendliest book lovers around. However, The site's SEO (or lack Thereof) is regrettably unkind to Tumblr outsiders, and this leads to two things. On The one hand, The insularity stokes The kind of kinship that makes its community so tightknit.

The digital classroom - RN Future Tense - 13 May 2010 - 7 views

  • we do a lot of school to students, instead of telling them and explaining to them, what is our vision? Why are we giving them laptops? It's not because they deserve them. It's because we expect something to change in education. Why aren't we telling them these things? Why aren't we sharing our vision with them, because they can help?
  • get kids communicating with one another outside their own circle of friends
  • create challenges on the web for kids to collaborate, that lead to more social interaction rather than less.

  • challenges for them is, how do they create learning opportunities that are beyond for example, a worksheet, or beyond that listening to the teacher and doing what the teacher says, and they've really worked very hard to develop those skills.

SocialTech: Online Educa Berlin 2010 Keynote: Building Networked Learning Environments - 2 views

  • what constitutes digital literacy or digital literacies, should, in symmetry with the subject itself, not be perceived as a problem we aim to solve, or a thing we aim to determine once and for all.
  • At some point, we need to agree actions.
  • What I’m interested in is supporting the skills and critical thinking about educational engagement in networked environments, and particularly in how educators and learners can use these to support and transfigure existing practice.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Supporting or learners and staff to use collaborative digital environments and tools in safe, critical and innovative ways should be on the top of all our digital literacy wish lists and informing local and national policy and practice.
  • We need to be mindful that a great deal of current research highlights correlations between socio economic status and access.
  • But supporting all of our children and young people’s ability to have meaningful, useful and safe online interactions means that we don’t further disadvantage some of our most vulnerable populations.
  • It turns out what people most want to know about their friends isn't how they imagine themselves to be, but what it is they are actually getting up to and thinking about
  • Recent research has clearly underlined the need to address children’s and young people’s use of the internet, mobile and games technologies in the context of digital literacy.
  • The report points up young people’s largely pedestrian use of technology, and highlights The role that educators could and should be playing in supporting young peoples engagement as producers, creators, curators raTher than primarily as consumers:
  • There are many definitions of digital literacy. In one of The earliest (2006), Allan Martin defined Digital Literacy as “…The awareness, attitude and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital tools and facilities to identify, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, analyse and synThesise digital resources, construct new knowledge, create media expressions, and communicate with oThers in The context of specific life situations, in order to enable constructive social action; and to reflect upon this process.” 
  • The characteristics across many of The available definitions are that digital literacy are that: it supports and helps develop traditional literacies – it isn’t about The use of technology for it’s own sake or ICT as an isolated practice it's a life long practice – developing and continuing to maintain skills in The context of continual development of technologies and practices it's about skills and competencies, and critical reflection on how These skills and competencies are applied it's about social engagement – collaboration, communication, and creation within social contexts
  •  
    reducing our aims just to types of skills risks boring everyone to death with short lived, tool specific training which doesn't address the social and political context of people's lives or their reasons for engaging with technology.

Cheating in Computer Science - 3 views

  • we have gotten the cart before the horse. We are less concerned with whether students learn the right thing than whether they learn in the way that we rely upon to measure how well they learn when compared to their peers. We do this without even having considered whether the measurement is even useful, much less necessary or even counter-productive.
  • We do it for no better reason than tradition, habit, and inertia.
  • I no longer teach programming by teaching the features of the language and asking the students for original compositions in the language. Instead I give them programs that work and ask them to change their behavior. I give them programs that do not work and ask them to repair them. I give them programs and ask them to decompose them. I give them executables and ask them for source, un-commented source and ask for the comments, description, or specification.

  • As a teacher, my job is to help students learn, not create artificial barriers to learning in the name of equitable grading. Nice people do not put others in difficult ethical dilemmas. Grading should be a strategy for making learning more satisfying by demonstrating accomplishment.
  •  
    "Bill Murray approaches the teaching-learning system as a game in which students, teachers, and others play various roles. He wonders whether the game itself encourages cheating, and suggests that teachers could restructure the game so that cheating is less rewarding and less likely."

    Fascinating essay about assessment and cheating, and how teachers have created this situation.

Use the calendar for more than dates - You Are Never Alone - 2 views

  •  
    "Calendars can be a great classroom resource and inspiration for research. The Australian Schools Calendar on edna and this one from New Zealand both alert teachers and students to special days that can be "observed" in The classroom. Student activities can be as simple as working out how old The person whose birthday is marked on The calendar "is", or looking for websites that are celebrating The day, The month or The year. Many of those sites have an educational focus and special activities for students."

    Raises some interesting and strategies about how to use Google Calendar in the classroom with students.

Myths and Opportunities: Technology in the Classroom by Alan November on Vimeo - 4 views

  •  
    strategies/skills 1. Every day have one student as the 'official researcher' who is looking things up on the web and saving the key information for later access 2. Reflect on your work as a learner. Look at body of work over time and reflect on what you've learnt and what you need to learn next. In a class it can be a podcast to review what has happened and how it fits in. 3. Documentation - not everyone has to write the notes. Someone or a couple of people are scribes and does the note taking but the class reviews at the end to make sure the notes are accurate and complete. It is saved where everyone and access it. 4. Suggests kids can research what they'd like to do for assignments

Why we don't cook frogs slowly and other thoughts on change - the Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    The frog in The pot of boiling water in An Inconvenient Truth is a cinematic moment that has The desired effect. It is one of The moments from The film that The audience remembers long after The credits roll. I have often thought about how this metaphor applies to change and particularly The way that change operates in schools.

Taking time to design programmes for understanding - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Identifying what our children need to learn is one of the most important processes within education. For the teacher this is the question they engage with as they design their teaching and learning units. By no means is this an easy task and the teacher must balance multiple factors to ensure that the programmes they design provide their students with the learning they require. Even the most effective sequence of lessons is of little value if what it sets out to teach has little importance in the lives our learners are likely to lead.

Maker Education on a Budget - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    There is growing interest from schools in The Maker Movement and Maker Education but with this have come some subtle misunderstandings about what it is all about. For one The modern maker movement is all about The mindset of The maker raTher than developing a set of specific skills for making. The second confusion stems from a belief that The maker movement is all about The tools and The makerspace and that as such it involves large budgets.

From Good to Great: Writing well by Thinking like Authors - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    A common challenge for students and teachers is how to develop a great idea for a piece of writing. Too often students struggle with the process of finding inspiration for their writing. they have a vague idea for the story they hope to tell, but all too quickly it transforms into a list of events with little or no detail. the goal here is to provide our students with a process to use during the planning process. the hope is that by identifying the type of thinking required during the early phases of ideation and to focus their attention on details, that the stories our students subsequently compose will be more enjoyable to read. Hopefully, this process helps.

Taking risks outside our comfort zone - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Possibly the most dangerous place to spend too much time is inside your comfort zone. Only when we take a risk and step away from the safety of the familiar and the ways we have always done things do we expose ourselves to new ideas and become open to the possibility of learning and discovery. the trouble is having the confidence to take that first step, to embrace discomfort and become open to the risks that come with trying something new.
