Shared Data Plans Aren't Always Cheaper | The Exchange - Yahoo! Finance - 0 views

  •  
    "an traditional family shared or individual plans with added-on data packages. Shared data plans provide various amounts of communal data across multiple devices. All phones, tablets, gaming consoles, hot spots and laptops included in the plan share a bucket of data for one monthly fee - which, in theory, is meant to cut costs. AT&T's Mobile Share and Verizon's Share Everything plans offer customers unlimited talk and text along with several levels of data for up to 10 devices. T-Mobile and Sprint also offer data shares - even unlimited data packages - but they only cover up to five devices and their coverage networks aren't as extensive as AT&T and Verizon's. The Big Question Still, the big question is: Are these shared data plans really cheaper? And are they better than the unlimited plans offered by Sprint (S) and T-Mobile (DTE.DE)? The answer: it's complicated (and likely made purposely so by the carriers). Whether it makes financial sense to switch to a Verizon or AT&T shared data plan depends on your data and device nee"

An Evidence-Based Approach To Science Education (Or: Dr. Hattie, And How I Learned To S... - 2 views

  • The best results from computer-based learning are seen with Computer-Cooperative Pair Learning (0.96), where two students will work together to complete a computer-based learning task.

      This seems to be intuitively logical to me at this point. This results is likely not based on many meta-analyses. I'll have to look these up.
  • First, students are engaged through activation of a schema. Basically, setting the stage for learning something new by invoking things they already know.  Second, students do an experiment where they are allowed to “mess around” with a concrete phenomenon.  Third, an extensive class or tutorial discussion or activity takes place where students attempt to make sense of what they’ve seen.  This is the most critical stage, and must include scaffolding, guided questioning, modeling, shaping, concept mapping and so on.  Finally, having developed a set of principles or a theory, students are made to apply the theory to a novel problem or situation.  Some have formalized this learning cycle into four stages and an acronym: Activation (A; the set up), Concrete (C; the experiment), Invent (I; the discussion etc.), and Apply (A; the application to a novel problem); ACIA.

      Ah, yes.... learning cycles. This sounds much like the 5E approach to me.
  • direct instruction method (lecturing to small classes) gets a bum wrap that it doesn’t deserve.  It works very well provided instructors are versed in the proper use of questioning, scaffolding (building a mental framework to accompany the knowledge), and modeling (showing students good example of what they want and expect).
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Second, PBL may be all the rage, but it’s a double-edged sword.  It works very well when worked, partially worked, and “to-complete” problems are used, and when schema are activated prior to commencement, but barely works at all when these things are not done.  PBL tutors require a greater degree of training than is currently the case if this method is going to be used effectively.
  • Third, don’t ignore the importance of giving students the chance mess around with concrete examples, particularly at the early stages.

    He lost me on the first paragraph with the stereotyping of university professors. The last 7 years have shown a major shift in accountabillity at the post-secondary level. Univiersities, colleges and for-profit education institutions must now show a return on investment for students like never before. Part of this is due to financial aid availability dependent on institutional graduation and post-graduation employment rates. Don't start an article dissing those who teach those who will serve in the elementary and high school classes.

    It is nice to see people acknowledge that technology can support both direct instruction and discovery education. Both are important and have a place in the classroom. I also like the idea that the tech director asks what is the teacher's purpose for using technology before answering the question of what apps are available.
