About | Teacher Challenge - 23 views

  •  
    "The Teacher Challenge is made up of free 30 day professional development challenges where participants are stepped through weekly tasks that increase their skills while working together as part of a global community. The Challenge is open to anyone who wants to increase their skills - blogs will be used for reflecting your progress while learning and connecting with each other. We've observed success of any use of online technology is strongly related to the teacher's abilities. The greater we support and increase a teacher's skills, the better they are able to support their students use of web 2.0 technologies. However blogs don't need to be hosted by Edublogs to participate!* Participants can complete as many of the tasks as they like and in any order."

The Student PLN Connect - 0 views

  • This appeared on Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog on December 1, 2010.In response to a blog post last week, Shannon Miller, Library Media Specialist in Van Meter, Iowa, sent me a personal e-mail. She has graciously allowed me to use the e-mail as a guest blog post...I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your post Dear Students, Please Lead a Thoughtful Revolution. These few lines are just awesome and so RIGHT ON.....If you want to see this kind of revolution that will use technology to help make your schools more effective and meaningful to you - not just the same old, same old with a few bells and whistles - you will need to be the ones who lead the revolution.Technology alone won't create change. I am less and less convinced that adults will be able to fundamentally change how school is done.I think it will be up to you...

  • Opcional: Crear un blog propio y enlazarlo desde la entrada de blog obligatoria en el blog de Internet en el aula
  • Atender al debate en el foro: "Homofilia y estrategias de descubrimiento".
  • Poner en marcha por lo menos una de las estrategias que deriven del debate (Crear alertas, consultar Multibuscadores, añadir cuentas y noticias recomendadas, etc.)
  • seguir cuidando las redes que hemos abierto durante la primera semana. Creo que twitter, en concreto, puede ser la base del PLN que muchos de vosotros lleguéis a desarrollar en internet
  • sobre todo en cuanto a la elevada presencia de docentes que twittean recursos de calidad
  • cuando queráis lanzar a twitter cuestiones relacionadas con el debate o las actividades de este taller, para que todos podamos encontrarnos allí, utilicéis la etiqueta #pleieaula (o #pln, o #internetaula

      Ayer (5.2.12) no vi nada en #pleiaula, ver próximos días, contribuir. #pln no permitía discriminar ya que se cruzaban tweets de todo tipo. Ayer #internetaula me parecía la más interesante.
  • pronto
  • recordar de nuevo el SITE en el que tenemos tutoriales a cada aspecto. En este caso, Diigo está, explicado en español en https://sites.google.com/site/plnparadocentes/diigo-recursos-adicio...

Twittering, Not Frittering: Professional Development in 140 Characters | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    As soon as the lunch bell rings at his elementary school in Medford, Oregon, teacher David Cosand takes a few minutes to scan his mobile phone screen for messages that have accumulated throughout the morning in his Twitter account. In a few well-chosen words, the people Cosand follows via this free online service share their latest news, resources, questions, and (sometimes) trivia about education, technology, and related topics. Cosand became a Twitterer about a year ago, and he now considers Twitter one of his best sources of real-time professional development. "I'm able to get information and find opportunities I wouldn't have been able to gather on my own," he says.

The Attention Economy: An Overview - 0 views

  • Because of this information explosion, we no longer read - we skim. The news that used to last a day now lasts just a few hours, simply because we need to pay attention to the new news. So it is becoming increasingly difficult to juggle all the news sources and keep on top of things. Which brings us to the law of information, stated first by Herbert Simon: the rapid growth of information
  • causes scarcity of attention.
  • It is also a big problem for news sites, blogs, search engines and online retailers. Our scarcity of attention hurts their economics.

  • What is the likelihood that you leave if you see an irrelevant headline? High.
  • The idea behind the Attention Economy is to create a marketplace where consumers are happy, because if they are shown relevant information
  • For example news feeds illustrate the point well, since they ask for consumers attention in exchange for the opportunity to show him/her advertising. The Search engines are similar in that respect, because they show ads in exchange for helping users find answers online.
  • It is important to realize that the key ingredient in the attention game is relevancy.
  • So the question is: how do you show the user relevant content? This is a complex problem that can be partially addressed by recommendation engines.
  • Another key ingredient of the Attention Economy is privacy.
  • The challenge is not just to protect consumers information, the challenge is to put the user in control of her information.
  • AttentionTrust succeeded in defining a simple, elegant, yet encompassing set of principles that define the rules of the game, by outlining the basic consumer rights in the AttentionEconomy: Property: You own your attention and can store it wherever you wish. You have CONTROL. Mobility: You can securely move your attention wherever you want, whenever you want to. You have the ability to TRANSFER your attention. Economy: You can pay attention to whomever you wish and receive value in return. Your attention has WORTH. Transparency: You can see exactly how your attention is being used.
  • So these seemingly simple rules ensure that participants transact fairly and that businesses do not monopolize users information
  • Ideally, a body of standards and protocols should be the technological foundation of the Attention Economy. Since these are early days of the conversation about attention, such standards do not yet exist. Here is an outline of what the Attention Architecture will look like (there is a detailed post on the topic from last year on my personal blog):
  • So from a technical point of view, the key to facilitating the attention marketplace is in decoupling of attention capturing, attention storage and attention recording services.
  • Silos: User information needs to be freed from proprietary silos Round Table: The industry needs to create a round table, to enable organizations to govern both the business and technical aspects of the attention economy (think Java Community Process). Education: People need to be educated about the value of their attention and the principles of attention economy. Avoiding privacy concerns will not work, instead they need to be tackled head on.
