Why the Google Art Project is Important | e-Literatee-Literate - 0 views

  •  
    "This is a really big deal. For the first time in history it is easy for non-specialists to explore and closely examine art from museums across the globe on a single website.... Here are two examples of how the Google Art Project opens the conversation. In 1889, Vincent van Gogh painted three canvases depicting his bedroom in Arles; these now reside in three different museums. Only the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam illustrates another version on its website and remarkably, none of the three museums link to the paintings at the other institutions."

Project-Based Learning: Real-World Issues Motivate Students | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    "We teach numbers, then algebra, then calculus, then physics. Wrong!" exclaims the Massachusetts Institute of Technology mathematician, a pioneer in artificial intelligence. "Start with engineering, and from that abstract out physics, and from that abstract out ideas of calculus, and eventually separate off pure mathematics. So much better to have the first-grade kid or kindergarten kid doing engineering and leave it to the older ones to do pure mathematics than to do it the other way around."

Idaho Teachers Fight a Reliance on Computers - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • And the plan envisions a fundamental change in the role of teachers, making them less a lecturer at the front of the room and more of a guide helping students through lessons delivered on computers
  •  
    The key sentence for me is in the second paragraph:"And the plan envisions a fundamental change in the role of teachers, making them less a lecturer at the front of the room and more of a guide helping students through lessons delivered on computers" - I see that as not just related to technology but to the new strucyure for how classrooms should be organized. To make technology the scapegoat for this new organization is deflecting from the bigger issue of how to teach effectively, through lecture or through inquiry-based, project based, and constructivist methodologies.

  •  
    Lodge McCammon's technique for flipped teaching, involving hand-drawn boards and personal lectures. Interesting and potentially powerful, but remember that this is just one perspective on how to accomplish flipped teaching. There are others out there.

    Not sure why he named it that, but it's an extension for Google Chrome that sends web pages to Pocket (nee Read it Later). Works great, and it's donationware so you can try it (or use it forever) for free.

      Good intro about Diigo.
  • The benefits of using a social bookmarking tool is it allows you to organize and store your bookmarks to an online tool rather than in the browser of your computer.  This means you can log into your account, on any device, any time and easily find your bookmarks.

A user can create both public and private groups for professional development purposes or perhaps a graduate class, study group, or classroom research project.
