Would love to have you expand on this statement a little more. Why is it something that should be seen?
-
-
With technology this is now possible to show students how the train takes the tracks or how the truck follows the freeway and what do the cities look like that they are going to.
-
Good classroom example here.

It allows students to create a source of interaction through quizzing and questioning. As a teacher, you can use this to assess what students are understanding and what is most confusing.
-
Nice classroom example
-
-
PebblePad is yet another great resource for educators and students alike. This source promotes the accessibility of resources to curve and strengthen our understanding based on specific topics of interest.
-
Was not aware of this resource. Thanks for sharing!
-
-
I think students can use this in my classroom to show their understanding of topics, as well as share responses and ways to apply concepts to other modes of learning.
-
I like that you explained how you would try to use it in the classroom.

Video Gaming in the Classroom - 0 views
-
Modern video games are an experience, a way to interact with real people, and many have educational value.
-
great point. already looking forward to reading the rest of this post!
-
-
Students go nuts trying to verify this: they measure parts of the room, they estimate the size of the gun, all to get accurate physical numbers to quantify the game's physics.
-
This is a really nice classroom example
-
-
They are able to experience these laws of science on a real level and through trial and error can master these concepts
-
Plus, since kids play games in real life, it draws on their interests and passions. Great way to engage

Gaming in Education | Auburn's Blog - 0 views
-
gaming plays a major role in many of our students’ lives
-
So true, especially at the MS age.
-
-
we need to develop ways of integrating gaming and learning
-
I agree. How can we make gaming in the classroom more legitimate? Do you think parents think that you are wasting valuable instruction time?
-
-
Most educators will agree with that there is a similarity between the skills you need to succeed in schools and needed for games. These include problem solving skills, attention to detail, creativity, and persistence
-
Very nice comment and a great way to back up your previous statement!

Seamless Learning in a Digital World | Munchkins at Play - 0 views
-
In a nutshell, this method teaches students how to look at themselves as constant learners.
-
Students are encouraged to collect data from their experiences outside of school through various forms of technology and media. They then bring this information into the classroom, analyze, interpret, and apply it to whatever topic they are currently studying.
-
Good synopsis
-
-
in an elementary setting, students might be studying 3D shapes in class. The students may go home, and take digital pictures of 3D shapes in real life applications. (Refrigerator, aquarium, garden globe, etc.) These pictures could then be sorted, graphed, cataloged, added to a collage, digital book, or many other possibilities.
-
Nice connection to classroom

Mrs. Jones's Classroom Blog: Learning from Gaming - 1 views
-
For some of them, games were all they wanted to do, write about, and think about.
-
Why do you think games appeal to your students so much? Would love to hear you expand on this thought.
-
-
In education, the motivational aspect of games could be used as a vehicle to reach learning objectives.
-
What type of learning objectives do you think could be reached through gaming?
-
-
For example, an elementary teacher was using data from the Wii bowling game to give his students practice with recording data and graphing.
-
Very solid connection here. Thank you for sharing!

Learning From Gaming - 0 views
-
Whether students are playing math fact drill games on the computer or participating in a virtual world of problem solving such as Minecraft, students are connecting in the classroom.
-
How are students connecting by playing math fact games? Expand on this thought a little more.
-
-
Gaming has a way of increasing students’ participation and interest in education.
-
What data or research have you found that backs up this statement?
-
-
Games such as the later enhance the learning experience for many students, providing an opportunity for higher-level thinking and problem solving in a virtual setting.
-
This is an important point and may get at why students seem to show increased interest in gaming.

I have found that students who can engage in an educational games are more excited to practice.
-
The actual gaming portion offers rewards like badges, scores and timed challenges.
-
Interesting that gaming involves badges, another one of the items in the report.
-
-
There is even a push for students to create their own video games.
-
I think this is something that we will see grow as the years pass.

Crowd Learning - 0 views
-
I believe that “crowd learning” is an important part of our educational society today.
-
Why do you believe this? Explain your thinking here.
-
-
This would allow the students to be more independent by learning more information and taking charge of their own life.
-
They would be more intrinsic learners.

Geo-Learning | advat - 0 views
-
Geo-learning is a learning experience where students interact with the real world
-
Higher socioeconomic areas will have more of an advantage then lower areas
-
This is a good point and one that is easy to overlook. How can we make Geo-Learning equitable for all students?
-
-
I feel that Geo-Learning has endless possiblities, so many wonderful opportunities to explore and learn about our world!
-
Can you talk a little about what type of possibilities you are imagining here?

TeacherXoxo: Innovative Pedagogy Report for 2013 - 0 views
-
I decided to talk about this topic because it relates a lot to the course I am taking at the University of Akron
-
I'm glad you made this connection. Can talk more about how Crowd Learning relates to our course? What are we doing in class that makes you feel this way?
-
-
Crowd learning is a fast growing way for people to become quickly educated on a specific topic
-
A teacher’s role is to help guide them in figuring out what their needs are and providing them with support.
-
This seems like a real shift for teachers. Do you feel ready to make this shift? Why or why not?
-
Seamless Learning - 0 views

Seamless Learning is a newly developed approach that "connects learning across settings, technologies, and activities" (Innovating Pedagogy Report 2013).

Thank you for citing your source when using a direct quote!

-
sees the classroom as a place for reflection and discussion
-
Do our current iterations of the classroom reflect this view? How can/do they need to change or adapt?
-
-
students then further their learning at home and across various settings while connecting and interacting with mobile devices

Learning through gaming - 0 views
-
I feel theres a difference between classroom games and what students see as "gaming"
-
What do you see as the difference? Why and how is your perception of gaming different than students? Please explain.
-
-
Since gaming as become such an addiction
-
What data do you have or did you find that backs up this statement? Has research shown gaming is an addiction?
-
-
why not try and use this to our advantage
-
I agree that educators should look toward things students are passionate about to engage them in authentic learning experiences.

a type of learning that occurs through technology
-
How does it occur through technology? What types of things happen with technology that enable learning to occur?
-
-
First, I could use it in a small crowd form just using my students.
-
Seems like preschool and kindergarten "centers" are really where crowd learning originated!
-
-
I could ask each student to draw a picture to share
-
How about incorporating technology here? Maybe the create their apple pic using an iPad app like DoodleBuddy or on the computer using something like KidsPix. You could then post those digital pictures on your class blog to share with students and even with parents!
