    An amazing resource/website tracing Jesus' footsteps, as well as those of Paul (his first, second and third journey). Interactive google maps embedded into the linked website include bible references to the said locations and what happened there. Worth a look.

  • I wonder about whether we as teachers set the same goals for ourselves.  Do we want to push past our levels of comfort?  Do we want to be scaffolded (or go and find scaffolds for ourselves) to move to higher levels and better outcomes?  Do we want to feel challenged?  Are we willing to use ‘experts’ to support us through the Zone of Proximal Development from watching the expert, doing with the expert and finally becoming the expert?
  • When we relate these questions to using E-Learning and ICT applications in our curriculum development and teaching, we need to determine whether we are willing to use students as the experts to teach us?  Are we willing to be out of our comfort zone in front of our students, until we have tried and tried again to succeed?
  • s, finding ways to improve his/her skills, of practicing the new technology.  Wouldn’t it be beneficial for the students to see some of the struggles the teacher is having when learning something new, so the students could realize that learning is a slow process – even for teachers?

  • I recently listened to an interview with a fourteen year old student as the guest speaker.  She claims that teachers only teach ICT to the level where the teachers feel comfortable, and then the teachers stop teaching ICT.  As young people today have skills well above the ICT skills of most of their teachers, they are effectively ‘undertaught’ by the teachers in terms of ICT skills. 
  • Whose level of comfort is important in our classrooms: The teachers’ comfort or the students’ comfort?  If teachers refuse to move past their own levels of comfort in front of their students, are we in fact robbing students of the opportunity to see that true learning, and the art of improving yourself, is a life-long task?
  • we finally succeeded at something we had to work really hard at…won’t it be great if we could move ourselves along this E-Learning journey with the support of our students?

    A fantastic article worth reading that explores teacher vs student expertise in ICLT and it's implications with teaching an learning. The interview at the bottom is also worth a listen, it is an interview with Edith, a student in England speaking about ICLT in her learning. She recently spoke at a TeachMeet, and in the interview, explores many aspects of ICLT in the classroom, including wether ICLT should be treated as an integrated, or separate subject.

    Hi Steve, it looks like its based on the old etherpad code, a great tool until you hit 15 users.
  • Steven Young on 19 May 10
     
    Mark, Even the interface is very similar. PiratePad (http://piratepad.net/) is another alternative Google have now included the EtherPad feature in its new version of google docs (It' still in preview and you need to tick a box in the document editing settngs). I'm yet to try it out with a class. Found that EtherPad also had issues with the 15 users. In a class I would often make more than one pad.

education assessment exam denmark web2.0

shared by Sam Elphick on 08 Nov 09 - Cached
  • Students are no longer required to regurgitate facts and figures. Instead the emphasis is on their ability to sift through and analyse information.
  • In Denmark, the government has taken the bold step of allowing pupils full access to the internet during their final school year exam
  • They can access any site they like, even Facebook, but they cannot message each other or email anyone outside the classroom.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.
  • Sanne Yde Schmidt, who heads the project at Greve, says: "If we're going to be a modern school and teach them things that are relevant for them in modern life, we have to teach them how to use the internet."

    Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.
