Why Has Ed Tech Made So Little Difference? - Top Performers - Education Week - 0 views

  •  
    "But that will not happen unless countries and states make very large investments in their teachers. Not, I might add, to teach them how to use technology.  That will get us nowhere. Their lack of knowledge about how to use technology has never been the problem. It is their lack of deep knowledge about the doors that the technology can open that is the problem."

Flipped Learning: A Philosophy, Not a Fad | Teaching United States History - 0 views

    "By being up-front with my students about what I'm asking them to do outside of class, and-most essentially-why I have ordered things in that manner, I'm asking them to be co-owners of their learning experience. By making it clear that I'm doing my level best to value their time, they see my investment in their success."

No Significant Difference - Presented by WCET - 0 views

  •  
    Quoting Mr. Russell from the introduction to his book,

    "These studies tell me that there is nothing inherent in the technologies that elicits improvements in learning. Having said that, let me reassure you that difference in outcomes can be made more positive by adapting the content to the technology. That is, in going through the process of redesigning a course to adapt the content to the technology, it can be improved."

    This idea is reflected in the history of the No Significant Difference literature. Over the last 50 years, the question for media comparison studies (MCS) has evolved from, "Can students learn at a distance?" to "What is the effect of distance delivery on student outcomes?" Over the years, especially since the internet revolution, the conviction that distance delivery is necessarily inferior to face to face instruction has faded a bit. As we accept that it is not the technology itself, but the application of technology, that has the potential to affect learning, it is our hope that future research will strive to identify the instructional methods that best utilize technology attributes to improve student outcomes.

The 5 Year Journey of a Podcast That Is Evolving into a Media Company - Personal Growth... - 0 views

  • If we produced high quality work, they would tell other people about it. That became and continues to be one of the driving forces behind our work.
  • But if you simply follow in the footsteps of people before, at best you’ll become a pale imitation, at works completely ignored.
  • The one thing that hasn’t changed is that people want quality. Quality rises to the top and stands the test of time.And you don’t create quality by copying what you’ve seen work.

  • You have to develop a tremendous tolerance for uncertainty, overcome self doubt, and do the best work of your life. And you have to do it every single day.
  • People who are willing to stay with something so far past when the average person would quit believe at their core “something big will come from all of this.”
  • I figured if he could visit all 50 states, work one-on-one with 500 people and start a business in an industry he knew nothing about, using nothing but ten dollars and a laptop than he must be the most resourceful person I know.

App Gives Students an Incentive to Keep Their Phones Locked in Class - Wired Campus - B... - 1 views

  • Resisting the urge to pull out your phone in class is quite difficult for many students, apparently. There are texts to answer, emails to read, snapchats to send, and rude comments to post on Yik Yak. But two students at California State University at Chico have created something they hope will persuade students to keep their phones tucked firmly in their pockets: An app that rewards them with coupons for local businesses when they exhibit self-control and leave their phones untouched during class.
