Guidelines for Working with Adult LeArners. ERIC Digest - 0 views

  • Known as the andragogical model, the use of learner-centered instruction--which supports addressing the needs and interests of learners--is regularly championed in the literature as the most effective way to teach adults.
  • Adults hAve A rich reservoir of experience thAt cAn serve As A resource for leArning.
  • tend to have a life-, task-, or problem-centered orientation to learning as opposed to a subject-matter orientation
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • motivated to learn due to internal or intrinsic factors
  • herefore, adult learning in formal institutions can be viewed in terms of the direction and support needed by the learner in the following ways: learners need both direction and support, learners need direction, learners need support but are reasonably self-directing, or learners are moderately capable of providing their own direction and support
  • Even though learners may need both direction and support, they can still be involved in designing and directing their learning in meaningful ways.
  • Adult leArner involvement in needs Assessment initiAtes A pArtnership with the instructor
  • WWW question: Who needs What as defined by Whom, in which Who is the learners, WHaT are their needs, and WHOM are the definers
  • "How do we listen to adult learners before we design a course for them, so that their themes are heard and respected?
  • Developing an atmosphere in which adults feel both safe and challenged should be the goal
  • An ideAl Adult leArning climAte hAs A nonthreAtening, nonjudgmentAl Atmosphere in which Adults hAve permission for And Are expected to shAre in the responsibility for their leArning.
  • Capitalize on the first session
  • Incorporate group work
  • Break the traditional classroom routine
  • -Use humor
  • Support opportunities for individual problem solving
  • equitable learning environment.
  • Consider their attitudes toward and knowledge about the variety of people they teach.
  • nstructors have a professional responsibility to accept every adult learner as of equal worth regardless of race, gender, ability, or background.
  • Think through the way they present their subjects or topics. T
  • Instructors must act on the belief that change and development are possible for all people and that their role is to assist the process in all learners
  • "Learning is part of a circuit that is one of life's fundamental pleasures: the [instructor's] role is to keep the current flowing" (p. 38). Instructors who have successfully engaged adults as partners by providing direction and support will have succeeded admirably.
  •  
    ""Adults vote with their feet," A fAvorite AdAge of Adult educAtors, is frequently used to describe A chArActeristic of Adult leArners. In most circumstAnces, Adults Are not cAptive leArners And, if the leArning situAtion does not suit their needs And interests, they will simply stop coming. In discussing Adult educAtion, Knowles (1980, 1984) distinguished between teAcher-centered And leArner-centered instruction. He promoted the lAtter becAuse it viewed leArners As mutuAl pArtners in the leArning endeAvor (MerriAm And CAffArellA 1991). Known As the AndrAgogicAl model, the use of leArner-centered instruction--which supports Addressing the needs And interests of leArners--is regulArly chAmpioned in the literAture As the most effective wAy to teAch Adults. However, MerriAm And CAffArellA (ibid.) Assert thAt "Adult leArning in formAl settings, for the most pArt, is still instructor designed And directed" (p. 26). Given the wide support for leArner involvement, the discrepAncy between Adult educAtion theory And prActice is perplexing. How cAn instructors of Adults become more leArner centered in their prActice? This ERIC Digest suggests guidelines And strAtegies thAt cAn be used in formAl settings by instructors of Adults to involve leArners more effectively. "

Free Technology for Teachers: Seven Videos all Educators Should Watch - 1 views

  •  
    "Summer is a time when many of us are thinking about and planning professional development workshops for our schools and for other schools. I've always found that a short 3-5 minute video can be a good introduction to a PD sessions and or make for a nice thought-provoking break during a PD session. Here are seven videos that I think serve those purposes well."

NABT BioBlog » Mini-posters->Authentic peer review in the clAssroom - 1 views

  •  
    In this workshop she was presenting an idea to help elementary teachers develop science fair project-a mini-science fair poster. This idea involved the used of a trifolded piece of 11″ x 17″ paper. The teachers were inputting their "required" science fair heading with post-it notes. Revision was a breeze. The teachers learned the importance of brevity with completion. They added graphs and images by gluing their graph to a small post-it. It was all so tidy, so elegant, so inviting, I probably stared a little long, struck dumb by the simplicity of the mini-poster. Once I came to my senses I realized that the mini-poster was my answer-a way to incorporate authentic peer review, formative assessment in my science classes.

15 online photo editors compared | Webware - CNET - 0 views

  •  
    Tools that let you edit photos in the Web browser have come a long way in the last few years. We wanted to take a moment to do a feature comparison with a grouping of editors--big and small, to see what each one is capable of. Most of the services on this list take advantage of adobe's ever-developing Flash platform, which in its latest iteration got a huge boost with support for the large images coming out of today's high-megapixel cameras. On the flip side of that, several of the non-Flash-based editors use aJaX to make the changes happen without reloading the page. The benefit here is that you can run these on machines without the latest versions of Flash installed. While not an exhaustive list of features, we wanted to focus on some of the ones that really mattered, like how much each service costs to use, how large of a photo you can upload, and what makes each one specia

Hypertextopia - 0 views

  •  
    Hypertextopia is a space where you can read and write stories for the internet. On the surface, it looks like a mind-map, but it embeds a word-processor, and allows you to publish your stories like a blog. It's designed to facilitate the writing of axial hypertexts by making a distinction between the fragments (essential elements) and the shards (minor, but enriching elements) of a story. You write in Hypertextopia by dragging the fragment arrow (the large one) or the shard arrow (the small one) and dropping them onto other fragments and shards, or onto empty space.

Teacher Professional Development Sourcebook: The Changing Landscape of Teacher Learning - 0 views

  •  
    "Chris Dede, a professor of learning technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is a leading authority on online teacher professional development. For 16 years, beginning in the early 1990s, Dede taught a course at HGSE called "Learning Media That Bridge Distance and Time." The rapid changes in interactive technology during that period brought the potential of online teacher learning into sharp focus for Dede. "I saw it as an important way of scaling up quality instructional practice, and an important lever for education reform, but also I saw that it wasn't going far very fast," he explains. Dede's investigations into online professional development led him to gather a group of researchers, distance-learning experts, and professional development providers at a conference at Harvard in 2005, and subsequently to publish, as editor, Online Professional Development for Teachers: Emerging Models and Methods (2006). The book, which explores the strengths and tensions of online teacher training, has become a key resource in the field."

Teach Parents Tech - 0 views

  •  
    Every December, millions of tech-savvy young people descend on their homes only to arrive to a long list of tech support issues that their parents need help with. a few of us at Google thought there had to be a better way that would save us all a few hours each December... The result of our brainstorm was TeachParentsTech.org, a site that allows you to select any number of simple tech support videos to send to mom, dad or uncle Vinnie. The site is not perfect and hardly covers all the tech support questions you may be asked, but hopefully it's a start!

  •  
    Google Forms is a great tool and I hope to use it more throughout this year. Take a look here for a more detailed introduction and guide to using and creating a Google Form - this was written prior to Google bringing forms into the NEW menu. I have created example forms for each of the different topics, follow the links in each of the ten sections. With help from a Googler I have included a link so that you can get your own copy of the form - click on the appropriate link and it should open in your docs home.
