What the IT department will look like in 2015 | TechRepublic - 3 views

  •  
    .. the oversized, centralized IT department of 2001 is a relic that's never coming back and IT pros need to prepare for the decentralized IT reality of the future where companies are going to keep fewer IT pros on staff, hire more consultants, and focus their IT resources on software, the cloud, and mobile devices

    George Siemens, Stephen Downes, and Dave Cormier - have had over 10,000 participants in the various courses we've run since 2008. The learning experience has been terrific. We've refined our pedagogical approaches, improved the software (well, actually, just Stephen did that), and developed a research agenda around learning in networks in open online courses... If you are interested in joining, please register for the course. We will be posting more information over the next few months.

10 Steps to Take Games Based Learning to the Next Level | edte.ch - 1 views

  • The clearest message from my experiences I can offer is to leverage the children’s enthusiasm into other areas of the curriculum.
  •  
    If you carefully choose the right sort of game it will engage the children in your class - in my opinion you have to take that as a given. It is what you do with that engaged group of children and how you make a difference to their learning that counts.

The Truth About Ladders - Common Craft - Our Product is Explanation - 0 views

  •  
    If you're trying to change someone's behavior, don't be so direct about your points... Use a story that connects to some universal truth about the subject-at-hand.  Give people a way to see the high-level consequences of their behavior, good or bad, and they may identify with your words in a whole new way.

The Seven Spaces of Technology in School Environments on Vimeo - 1 views

  •  
    "Matt Locke originally came up with the concept of the Six Spaces of technology (test.org.uk/​2007/​08/​10/​six-spaces-of-social-media/​). I added a seventh earlier this year, Data Spaces, and have played around with how education could harness these spaces, and the various transgressions between them, for learning. This short presentation tackles the potential of adjusting our physical school environments to harness technology even better. What happens when we map technological spaces to physical ones?"
