GAMEUP | Virtual Labs: Using the Microscope - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great interactive resource for my microscope unit. Students will be directly learning the standards that reference the tools of scientists. Students would use this website as a hands-on introduction before actually working with the real microscopes. This resource is engaging and ensures adequate background information has been obtained before I let the students work with expensive instruments.

"If We Didn't Have Today's Schools, Would We Create Today's Schools?" - 0 views

      This analogy of equipping sailing vessels with steam engines works well as an illustration of technology being plugged into traditional classrooms.
  • We need to get the teacher into the game. The teacher needs to get in there and be part of the learning process, actively engaged in solving the problem with the students and learning with the students—not teaching but modeling learning with the students by functioning as an expert learner solving problems and constructing new knowledge with the students.
  • modeling the learning process

  • we will get the same result if we introduce modern learning technologies in our schools but do not prepare teachers to work in this new learning environment.   If we want to take advantage of these new technologies and the billions we are investing in equipment for our schools, we have to prepare teachers very differently than we have in the past. We have to change our own model of teaching and instruction in higher education.
  • Any organization that adopts a new technology without significant organizational change is doomed to failure. You have to change the organization. You cannot just add the technology. You have to actively work on changing the roles of the teachers, the roles of the students, the roles of the parents, and the roles of the administrators, and start to work toward building new relationships and new structures
  • Trying to introduce new technologies into schools without these changes would be similar to efforts in the sailing industry during the 1800s, when steam engines were installed in wooden sailing ships.
  • We will not get out of our wooden ship schools until we use communication technologies for two-way interactivity that allows us to collaboratively construct the learning experience and new knowledge.

Transliteracies » Blog Archive » RoSE (Research-oriented Social Environment) - 9 views

  • RoSE’s answer is that people seeking knowledge do not necessarily want to go to either a document (a “document-centric” approach) or a person (a “social- network” approach) as their first point of access—though they will take either.  More ideal is an online environment that allows them to seek out documents and people in the context of relationships between the two (e.g., of authorship, reception, affiliation, recommendation, sponsorship, commentary, rebuttal, etc.).

      I'm liking this definition, and having two different questions push their way in: 1) How will RoSE deal with the walled-garden aspect of much of academic resources? 2) Can game theory be blended with such a social environment? (crazy thought)

Teachers || Admongo.gov - 20 views

    Do your students have the critical thinking skills to understand ads, what they're saying, and what they want kids to do? To help you equip your students with these valuable skills, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, has launched a campaign to teach kids about advertising. The Admongo campaign will help kids learn to ask three key "critical thinking" questions when they encounter advertising: Who is responsible for the ad? What is the ad actually saying? What does the ad want me to do?
