    25 - 27 AUGUST 2013: Bialik College, in collaboration with the Harvard School of Education, is delighted to invite you to the 4th Cultures of Thinking Conference.

How has it changed our role as teachers? * How can a culture of thinking be created, nurtured and retained across our classrooms, schools, and nation? The conference will commence with breakfast and a plenary session on the morning of Sunday 25 August. It will continue until Monday afternoon with plenary sessions with the Harvard educators each day and concurrent presentations and workshops with practising educators throughout the conference.

    "I got several emails after I posted about the Teacher's Roadmap to Twitter Use in Education. I know it is hard for me to answer all of your emails in time so please bear with me . But for those who asked me about a post about educational hashtags I would recommend them to check the article entitled " The Best 15 Twitter Hashtags for Educators " which I have published a couple of months ago."

Quick Guide to Gamification - Online Universities.com - 0 views

  •  
    "This all sounds amazing, but it won't happen until game developers and educators can come together to create educational games that have rich content and the strong engagement that is currently only seen in the best commercial games. The real gamification of education is going to take years of serious effort to make happen, but that doesn't make it any less fun to think about right now. "

    I have just completed this course. It was good for the background knowledge and access to resources, video etc. I would use it in conjunction with what I have researched is happening in schools. I feel more confident to apply the principles to my teaching.

Portal 2 will be used to teach in schools - Video Games Reviews, Cheats | Geek.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Video games are increasingly being used to educate children both inside and outside the classroom. Steam thought they'd jump on the bandwagon too, but they haven't created a new game. Oh no, kids will soon be able to play Portal in the classroom. Steam have created "Teach with Portals", a website that allows educators to sign up to gain access to an educational version of Portal 2 and the Portal 2 puzzle maker. The software uses realistic physics (just like the other Portal games) and inspires teachers and students to create their own puzzles, explore different worlds, and share custom lesson plans."

Learning In Burlington: BYOT and one-to-one initiatives are literacy initiatives - 0 views

  •  
    "As a school leader who recently sold my community on the importance of moving to a one-to-one environment where every student has access to a web-based device, I believe strongly that our students will be more literate than students in other schools who do not have access to web-enabled devices. A look at the world outside of our schools and the technological resources being accessed in so many professions that allow people to work "smarter" is a clear indication of the track that our students need to be on in order to be able to function in the "real world." The biggest stumbling block in schools even if we can get the devices is the proficiency level of the adults in the building in utilizing the technology resources effectively. This is not meant to be an indictment of educators, but it is a critical question that we all have to look at, assess, and then move forward. Technological tools/resources can assist educators in some of our biggest undertakings (i.e. common core standards integration, teacher evaluation, providing relevant professional development, etc.). However, because so many educators in schools are not comfortable with the most modern literacy skills we are not able to make better progress."

Clearing the Confusion between Technology Rich and Innovative Poor: Six Questions - 6 views

  •  
    In a recent webinar, more than 90% of school leaders responded that they were leading an innovative school as a result of the implementation of technology. At the end of the webinar, when polled again, only one leader claimed to be leading an innovative school. The complete reversal was due to a presentation of the Six Questions that you will read about in this article.   This list of questions was developed to help educators be clear about the unique added value of a digital learning environment.

The Digital Education Revolution comes to an end. Where now? | isupport - 1 views

  •  
    The final round of government funding is currently being distributed to schools all around Australia. So far over 967,000 computers have been bought, infrastructure built and (most) teachers up-skilled to benefit from the acquisition. But as the funds come to an end, many school principals are wondering if the process has been beneficial, and how can they continue to support and progress the Digital Education Revolution?

Teaching with Infographics is Essential for Visual Literacy - 1 views

  •  
    "The importance of infographics in literacy education is essential. Literacy is more than just reading and writing. Literate people can infer meaning, communicate with others, and capture ideas in many different ways. With infographics, I hope that educators can broaden our students' visual literacy."

    "Duyvis recommended that educators, librarians and parents seek out books by disabled people. Duyvis and two librarians talked with MindShift about what else educators and caregivers should look for when selecting children's literature that represents disability and what conversations with kids about these books and about disabilities can look like. They also offered recommendations of inclusive, affirming books for kids from preschool to high school. "
