history TEDTalks Resources Learning to Look

    So, in the interest of preparing for teaching a new course next year, and wanting to sort TED out a bit, I've created the following list based on disciplines (organizing knowledge or research by discipline is, it should be pointed out, in stark contrast to the real objective of TED Talks in general). I really like this TED fella, and I hope he doesn't mind:)

    Considers that those who doodle and sketch with pen and paper while listening to presentations, lectures, lessons etc will have a better retention of information than those who do not doodle. To doodle or not to doodle, that is the question! Do you doodle when you are deep in thought?

      It's a means of sending an email to various other people at once. For example, you might send an email addressed to a parent concerning a manner but you'd CC the same email to your year level co-ordinator so they know exactly what you're communicating to said parent.

      Yes, what about great online presentation tools? How much (if at all?) do we still have to play by the "Everyone needs to know MS suite so schools need to do this as 'Job Prep?'" Do you feel this as a need in your schools?

      Is this more of a "basic" skill that we assume that all educators already know? If this section is regarding posting documents, we are talking about a different set of skills.

      I assume this is a somewhat mandatory skill that users of Word Processing applications should have. How unprofessional to read a doc that has spelling errors etc!!

      Would this, however, be counted as hours in regard to the VITs PD requirements? If so, how would it be monitored/recorded?

      Good point. Collaboration doesn't need to be in-person & synchronous - or does it?
  • Use tables and styles to enhance the formatting of a document
    • Jason Coleman
      Jason Coleman on 22 Apr 09
       
      Does this enhance an educators "ability" to create and post?

      Our school does this through online content management called "Study Wiz"
    • Tom March
      Tom March on 22 Apr 09
       
      Yes, any means - Moodle, Wordpress, Sharepoint, etc. - the idea is that we have a professional responsibility to make core documents available. Do you agree?
  • Consider taking an active role in an online community.
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      For what goal? Personal business just to keep technical skills up or must it be related to profession related topics? More clarification needed.
    • Tom March
      Tom March on 22 Apr 09
       
      Good point, Hal. What do you think? By "Level 4" I would expect this to be a professional community. Is this fair?

      Finding online resources (Wikis, Blogs) that dont require email addresses and passwords can be an issue with younger students.
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      That's why setting up an in-house system where you can create a large number of individual student accounts at the start of the year (such as VBulletin) comes in very handy.

      On the flipside, we use a vocabulary training website in LOTE which students can't access if they declare their DOB to make them younger than 13!
  • Upload presentations, videos or animations for student use
    • Larry Mckeown
      Larry Mckeown on 22 Apr 09
       
      Any ideas about the best way to do this? Should it be a WEB 2.0 application, such as Dropbox? Or is bandwith use a concern, so a LAN setup should be used?
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      Just to save on costs, you'd probably have to do it over a LAN. It would also create a more reliable system, since an intranet/local network is less likely to fail than the connection to outside resources.
  • (QuickTime Pro)

      Obviously not the only resource for this. Open source solutions to cut costs?
    • hal jordan
      hal jordan on 22 Apr 09
       
      Definitely, open source is a very good way to go.
  • Create opportunities for students to synthesise their learning through projects that call for a creative, problem-solving or innovative response.

      Twitter is excellent for following like minded people and sharing thoughts, opinions and ideas about education and web 2.0 technologies.
  • Choose at least one work that you are willing to publish to the Web and do so.  This may be in any format: visual, written, video, audio, presentation, etc. The forum may be a wiki, professional journal, educators’ social network, iTunes, etc.

      How do you ensure appropriate content, privacy of other students, etc, in an environment where students can publish content for the world to see? Can you effectively?

      There are certain systems (such as VBulletin) where you can very closely control viewing/reading/writing permissions very easily.

      This is GREAT. Now we just need an online database so we can take a good long hard look at our own skills and those of other staff. I don't think this should be threatening to anyone, but guide them through some essential skills.
