  •  
    The International Conference on Digital Storytelling Valencia, Spain March 21 - 23, 2012 Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. (Great video to view as example)

Encouraging Distraction? Classroom Experiments with Mobile Media - ProfHacker - The Chr... - 0 views

shared by jenwilkerson on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • I think the best place to start when thinking about incorporating technology into the classroom is by asking the question, “What is the right tool for this particular job?” Sometimes it’s a digital tool and sometimes it’s not. But when we force a digital tool into a classroom scenario where it isn’t the best one for the job, students are extremely quick to pick up on this “tech for tech’s sake” implementation.
  • And the faster and more intense our connectedness becomes, the further we move away from that ideal. Digital busyness is the enemy of depth.”
  • Instead, if used in a dynamic way that addresses the medium’s strengths, mobile media can actually get us to engage with each other and with the spaces we move through in deep, meaningful, and context-rich ways.

  • It is apparent that the students often shift between the two classroom spheres. Does this “distraction” take them away from engaging with the content I’m presenting? Quite the contrary. From my experience, they are engaged with the material that is being discussed in a much more sustained way because the devices that have typically severed as “distractions” in the past (e.g. using the laptop or the mobile phone to access Facebook) are now being utilized to constantly engage them with the material.
  • The quiz began with a QR code posted on my office door (I started here so they would all know where my office was located!) that led them to a download of the 7scenes app.
  • from Broadcastr to Foursquare
  • When they arrived to class on the day of the field test, we all went geocaching around campus.
  • The three groups each decided to create fictional narratives and used a range of mobile media from websites designed for the iPad, geocaches that contained narrative elements, and one group even built a reverse geocache that held the contents of the story.
  • Soon, if it hasn’t happened already, every teacher in higher education will have to develop a strategy for mobile phone use in the classroom (whether that be to integrate the technology or to ban it).

Challenge to Schools: Embracing Digital Textbooks - 4 views

It's true that students "are stuck" when reading a hardcover textbook. If they get to a word they don't know or a concept they don't understand, they are not likely to explore or look it up. I like...

Digital Education Revolution - 4 views

  •  
    Interesting ideas are developed in this "Digital Education Revolution" document that arrives to a conclusion we have been flirting with as well: "Perhaps the most important finding from our analysis is that technology leadership has greater leverage on desired outcomes than does technology infrastructure and expenditures"

The Ideal Tech World - The Digital Librarian - 6 views

  •  
    This article shows how technology not only aids student learning, it motivates students, builds confidence, creativity and problem solving, increases content knowledge, helps students with special needs thrive and reflects the demands of the modern world. And, therefore, it gives relevant info to make a successful technology plan. It offers as well an interesting comparison between what digital learners vs. what many educators prefer when it comes to education.

    As real time is translated to 'cyber time' how often do we think of the students when we plan for technology? Do we do what's best for them or convienent for us?

The History of Technology in Education - 2 views

  •  
    This is a video that goes through the different phases of technology use in Education. It is an advertisement for Smart equipment, but it's still an interesting short video
  •  
    I noticed that the commonality over time was the users ingenuity in how he interfaced with the given resources.
  •  
    Nice find. Interesting how they showed the digital age in 1995 with people connecting all over the world, but then back in the classroom in 2000 with smartboards not really used to connect with others. In the video, it doesn't look like the smartboard is changing the classroom dynamic of teacher-centered learning.

    This article, published in 1996, discusses how using the "World Wide Web" in the classroom can provide multiple historical perspectives and access to thousands of primary source documents. The downsides? The speed of downloading and finding quality websites.
