Top Rated Edutopia Resources: Week Ending May 13, 2011 | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Here are Edutopia's most highly rated resources this week. Note that our resources can be rated along three parameters: PRACTICAL Practical materials are ones that you can use to improve your classroom or school right now. These include lesson ideas, tips and strategies for implemeting a new practice, or anything else that is useful RIGHT NOW (as opposed to something that may take 10 months and several committee meetings to implement.) INNOVATIVE These are materials that inspire you with their cutting-edge ideas. Not necessarily something you can implement right away, but if they're Practical too, then you can certainly choose both. PERSUASIVE Persuasive resources are those that make the case for a particular practice or idea. Maybe they helped to change your mind. Or maybe they could change someone else's mind. You could use these materials to persuade your school board, for instance, or your principal to adopt a new approach.

A Quick Overview of the subject and intent of this paper - 0 views

  •  
    The implicit assumption of these studies, and all interpretations of flow, is that self reports can adequately describe the content of flow. Therefore, no analysis is necessary or valuable regarding the linguistic content of such self-reports. Furthermore, there was implicitly no need to investigate how non conscious information may also parallel flow experiences, and how such information may be mediated by neurological (attentive alertness), somatic (relaxation), and perceptual (demand/skill match) representations that dynamically change in time.

  •  
    The best moments usually occur when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile. Optimal experience is thus something we make happen. (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990, p.3)

Teacher-Replacing Tech: Friend or Foe? | Fast Company - 0 views

  • cybernetic takeover might mean a redefinition of "teacher" as a research assistant or intellectual coach,
  • Just as the Internet replaced telephone operators and the nightly news anchor as the default source of information, teachers may be next on the chopping block. Automated learning is a cheap solution to recession-swelling class sizes and renewed calls to make technological innovation a centerpiece of education.
  • “Students who took all or part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face-to-face instruction.”
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Unlike one-size-fits-all lectures, the report finds that computers can custom tailor the pace of learning to each individual student.
  • Department of Education found that online learners spend more time learning and on task.
  • The lure of video games and other mindless online activity quickly eclipse the fleeting intrigue of scientific exploration.
  • Professors Barbour and Reeves find that they still favor students with “independent orientations towards learning, [who are] highly motivated by intrinsic sources, and [who] have strong time management, literacy, and technology skills.”
