Welke ict-toepassingen zijn succesvol in het onderwijs en wat werkt er nu echt? Deze vragen worden beantwoord in de uitgave EXPO 2 (experimenten in het basisonderwijs) van Kennisnet. 11 experimenten op basisscholen laten zien waar ict wel en niet in slaagt bij het verbeteren van leerprestaties en motivatie van leerlingen.

New technologies are central to modern life and sensitive topics are often discussed on the internet rather than face to face. However, this could be potentially damaging, especially for young people. The European project Virtual Stages Against Violence (VSAV) discovers possible risks concerning the use of new technologies  and offers teaching and learning pathways for a sensible use of the internet and new technologies. The project has started in March 2011 and the project team has already developed innovative products for teachers, students, schools, youth organisations and so on.

the project targets the following results, in order to answer significant questions: 1. A model for analyzing teachers' ICT‐pedagogical competency profiles, relating to European frameworks and based on conclusions from topical need analyses in the partner countries. 2. The further education module 'E‐teacher 2.0', developed jointly by the project partners and based on previous best‐practice projects as well as topical surveys. The module will empower teachers within new technologies, facilitate the process of redidactization and arm teachers to spot and integrate new relevant technologies as they emerge. The module will be developed as a generic model, adaptable to local needs, but within an internationally agreed upon framework. 'E‐teacher 2.0' will be trial‐run in each partner country in order to test, evaluate and optimize the module. Specific national versions of 'E‐teacher 2.0' will be developed in each country's language, adapted to local needs. 3. An accreditation of 'E‐teacher 2.0' and/or integration into continuing education in each partner country, with the aim of border-crossing mutual recognition.

Mobiel leren (M learning) is leren waarbij mobiele apparatuur, zoals mobiele telefoons, PDA's, iPods, mp3-spelers, worden gebruikt binnen het leerproces. In dit document vindt u meer informatie over wat mobiel leren nu precies is, wat je er mee kunt, wat de onderwijsmogelijkheden zijn en binnen welke vormen van onderwijs mobiel leren kan worden toegepast.

 there now is an edtech app store! Well, it's more like an app directory but you get the point. It's called edshelf and is an easy-to-use directory all the great web 2.0 tools out there just waiting for educators to try them out. You can share your experience with the tools, add your own, store a 'shelf' of your favorite tools, and more. 

What a great idea! :)

It's good to be a kid these days. Or rather, it's better to be a teenager now than it was 30 years ago. That's the essential argument made in an infographic from Besteducationdegrees.com. Today's teens make more money in their crummy jobs, enjoy PlayStation instead of Coleco Vision, and have cell phones on which they listen to their music.

That's a very nice infographic. How can we use it in the classroom?

In a nutshell, Splaype is a new desktop application plugged into Skype that helps solve the problem of keeping your kids engaged during video-conferences with long-distance family members. It adds age-appropriate video-conferencing content and games such as reading e-books or playing tic-tac-toe to facilitate communication between family and friends. The folks at Splaype had it specially designed for children and grandparents, so it's an intuitive and easy-to-use system. What's more, it's free.

Links-up is research project about how 'Web 2.0' technologies - e.g. social networking software - are changing the face of education and training for disadvantaged people. The project puts together a picture of the 'landscape' of 'Learning 2.0 for Inclusion' by reviewing what has been done in the academic and research field, and by practitioners working on the ground in projects that have been using Web 2.0 to work with disadvantaged groups. It uses a series of 'action research' experiments, collaborating with 'host' projects working in the field, to evaluate the added contribution Web 2.0 can make to practices that use learning to support social inclusion.
