  • some feel "tech prep" is a waste of time, but far more view it as a crucial set of skills that does double duty.
  • SETDA advocates blending computer skills seamlessly into instruction, rather than teaching them in isolation.

      Yes, but some skill lesson has to happen or poor habits will develop and their skills will bottom out way to soon.

  • Of course, some computer skills are valuable, like keyboarding, creating multimedia projects, manipulating programs they'd use in life and school,
  • "They can run an iPhone like a champ, or the iPads we have here at school. But they're not that exposed to keyboarding skills or using the mouse to move something up and down on a screen."
  • said her students have been honing their keyboarding skills while using an online curriculum for computer coding.

      Love this!
  • Using an online math program, they learn to move and click a mouse, and cut and paste text. As they move through the grades, they add more skills, integrated into their core-content study, Ms. Warr said.
  • "If we were trying to teach the tech skills in isolation, there would be a huge pushback [from teachers], but we integrate them into other subjects," Ms. Warr said.

      But this has to start young so it builds. Teachers need help in how to make this happen seamlessly.
  • But because the Smarter Balanced assessment expects more "writing in one shot" online, he's encouraging teachers to shift their "quick writes" to the computer, he said.
    • lstormvt
      lstormvt on 12 Feb 17
       
      A balance between the writing process (paper, revision) as we know it and quick writes on the computer
  • 1st graders are starting with a free online game called Dance Mat, where they pick out letters one at a time, and work up to typing their names, Mr. Decker said. In 2nd grade, students begin using an online program called Type To Learn three times a week. Third and 4th graders continue it twice a week, and by 5th grade, it's down to weekly.

    In this article, teachers and administrators share their desire to differentiate between computer skills that are test-based only and those that are actually life skills, too, and then figure out how to work those into the school day in a constructive way.

  • Working with mentor teachers, we found that they had an assumption that young student teachers would naturally know the latest and greatest. The truth is that some do but many don’t, so training is essential!
  • They became models for the classroom teachers
  • All classes in our research site were inclusive with a diverse community of learners at every grade level including students with IEPs, 504 plans, autism spectrum disorders, and English language learners.
  • made the mistake of assuming the kids would immediately know how to use the technology in an appropriate way.
  • Success was more attributable to the fact that teachers who integrated iPads into their lessons tended to do more Project Based Learning (PBL), which has been found to improve student learning across grade levels (Cheu-Jay, 2015)
    • Emily Wood
      Emily Wood on 17 Mar 19
       
      This fits one of my change visions from my destination postcard: more PBL!
  • the hard-to-reach, reluctant, oppositional Edwards all became engaged when introduced to opportunities that the iPad gave them.
  • students enjoy learning and stay more focused when using iPads
  • with a little hands-on support, created technology-rich lessons with a minimum of training or professional development. The bottom line was that when we mixed training with support we created a successful and innovative learning experience for teachers and their students.

Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration in Academic Library for Sustai... - 0 views

#EDCI325 #Change-Project #InfoLit #DigitalCitizenship

shared by pwarmack on 11 Feb 18 - No Cached
  • The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices.
  • discussion about librarian-faculty collaboration for developing information literacy skills among the students are considered briefly.
  • ACRL further describes information literacy as abilities to: a. Determine the extent of information needed b. Access the needed information effectively and efficiently c. Evaluate information and its sources critically d. Incorporate selected information into one’s knowledge base e. Use information effectively to accomplish a specific purpose f. Understand the economic, legal, and social issues surrounding the use of information, and access and use information ethically and legally.
  • ...25 more annotations...
  • That solution has two fundamental underpinnings: the first is that information literacy is an issue for every college and university; and the second is that librarians should occupy a position in attempts to define and achieve campus-wide information literacy.
  • While it is legitimate to use some of the information available on the web, students need to learn how to evaluate that information.
  • A study conducted by two researchers at the Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom found that 75% of the students surveyed used Google as their first port of call when locating information, with the university library catalogue used by only 10%.
  • In general, faculty members involved in the process were willing to collaborate with librarians who served as consultants, as instructors, and as team players in designing, teaching and implementing course assignmen
  • One particular model which has proven to be effective is course integrated instruction. With this model, librarians and teaching faculty co-design a course, and make sure that information literacy is incorporated in the course.
  • They not only sought to build short-term programmatic partnerships but more importantly, formal long-term working relationships with campus units, groups, departments and administrators.
  • “Integrating Literacy into the Liberal Arts College Curriculum.
  • launched a campaign to recruit faculty as partners in the process
  • took advantage of the liaison system already in place
  • Symposiums were organized for faculty and librarians to focus on assessment and science disciplines.
  • offered a workshop
  • More and more course-related or integrated instruction sessions have come to play a bigger role in making students more information literate.
  • Changing fee structures, student experience and access to digitized information on the internet, librarians have had to rethink their approach to teaching IL skills
  • McGuinness (2007) argues that librarians tend to act in a reactive manner to the needs of academics, rather than proactively to promote IL skills.
  • eads to ad hoc, short-term solutions designed only to address one or two issues.
  • dds that librarians should align their own goals of incorporating IL skills into the curriculum with the goals of academics and institutions to influence the power structures within institutions and help shape educational content.
  • highlights both the ambiguity around how IL should be taught, and the important role faculty awareness of IL and integration of library staff plays in integrating IL
  • unpack the “culture clash” between librarians and academics
  • cGuinness (2006) found that academics expected students to “learn by doing” through collaborative projects with peers and dissertation reports with occasional support from staff, without a clear sense of how students would develop critical and analytical IL skills
  • aculty also tended to believe that a student’s ability to gain IL skills were driven by the student’s own motivation, interests and innate abilities, rather than the quality and format of the available instructional opportunities
  • Multiple literacies, including digital, visual, textual, and technological, have now joined information literacy as crucial skills for this century”
  • These collaborative efforts have enabled librarians to encourage and support faculty in establishing learning priorities which will ensure that students be equipped with the competencies to become effective lifelong learners.
  • Only by establishing a successful partnership between librarians and faculty, can the goal of mastery of information literacy by students be accomplished.
  • The goal of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum is to enable students to learn the skills and competencies needed for success during their life time
  • To make sure that everyone is able to become an educated, skilled, and information-literate person, librarians and faculty at institutions of higher education throughout the world will need to work together as partners to provide the education

  • In the 21st century workplace, success requires more than basic knowledge and skills. In PBL, students not only understand content more deeply but also learn how to take responsibility and build confidence, solve problems, work collaboratively, communicate ideas, and be creative innovators.
  • The Common Core and other present-day standards emphasize real-world application of knowledge and skills, and the development of the 21st century competencies such as critical thinking, communication in a variety of media, and collaboration. PBL provides an effective way to address such standards.
  • Modern technology – which students use so much in their lives – is a perfect fit with PBL. With technology, teachers and students can connect with experts, partners, and audiences around the world, and use tech tools to find resources and information, create products, and collaborate more effectively.
