Teens and Texting | Jane Mitchinson - 0 views

  •  
    It seems as though teens are becoming conditioned to be "on call" through texting with cell phones. Some youth say they feel social pressure to answer each other's text messages regardless of the time of day, and that's causing problems at home and at school. Teachers are concerned about the impact of interruptions on learning, and school administrators are responding with policies on cell phone-use in schools. But how can the education system guide teens through confronting compulsion if students are conditioned to be "on-call"? Can kids find the self-control to plan time with their cell phones efficiently?

Flipped Classroom - 0 views

  • The philosophy behind the flip is that teachers can spend time working with students who need their help in the classroom — and students can work together to solve problems — rather than sitting home alone with work they might not understand and with nobody to ask for help.
  • Skeptics raise questions about flipped classrooms: How many subjects are really appropriate for this technique? How does it work for students who don’t have computers at home to watch videos or who live in chaotic conditions that make it impossible to absorb new material? What about teachers who deliver inspiring classroom presentations? Won’t students lose something if those lessons are put on video?

Playing with Digital Storytelling - Teaching with Technology, Education 2.0 - 0 views

  •  
    So I've been watching Ben Rimes' posts for DS106 go by and I keep thinking I should give that a try. I was inspired by the Return to the Silent Era assignment, so after watching a couple other people's submissions I figured I'd jump in. One of the things keeping from trying any ds106 assignment before was a lack of expensive software. Ben always uses high end programs like Adobe Premier and Photoshop that I don't have. How could I possibly do any of the cool stuff he does. Well, I decided to see if I could do the whole thing using only my iPad. It also gave me an excuse to buy Avid Studio, an app I've been looking at since it came out. Apps I used: Avid Studio $4.99 - For video editing Blux Movie (free right now) - I shot the movie with Blux. PhotoShop Express and SketchBook Express (free) - To create the placards. I added the text in Avid Studio iSuper8 (free) - Final aging effects added.
