Preparations for authentic learning #change11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
My proposal for authentic learning: Topic of interest:  In education theories or proposals or books on teaching or manuals for teachers do exist. These theories (for short)  want teachers and students to change the way they teach and learn. How do we recognize which of the theories in education are trustworthy and helpful? My students [...] [Link] Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:14:14 +0000 [Comment]

Where do the facts belong - In the head or in the clouds? (#change11)
Allan Quartly, At the chalkface
This debate between content and learning seems, to me, to be a little superfluous. Does anyone really think one can happen without the other?The content of our education systems have come about via the learning of others before us. And even the highest of higher order thinking requires the collection, ordering and synthesis of basic empirical facts.Having said that, the reality is the human brain as a repository of facts is losing its value. The ability to remember and recall facts is not as .... [Link] 2011-12-14T00:51:00.000-08:00 [Comment]

Authentic Learning
Clark, Learnlets
This week, #change11 is being hosted by Jan Herrington (who I had the pleasure of meeting in West Australia many years ago; highly recommended).

Ideas from the thirteen weeks of MOOC
Louise, Not Worth Printing
One recurring theme of the thirteen weeks of MOOC sessions has been that the current education system is  no longer appropriate for learners in the 21st century. Many of the MOOC presentations in the past 13 weeks point to this problem from various angles – formal learning, informal learning or somewhere in between. The following image [...] [Link] Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:51:50 +0000 [Comment]

#Change11 Breathing together in networks, in MOOCs?
suifaijohnmak, Learner Weblog
Who are breathing together? Air is both cheap and expensive. Air is cheap, as you don’t have to pay, and you could breath in as much as you like, every day.  Air is expensive, since without it, you can’t live, … Continue reading → [Link] Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:47:47 +0000 [Comment]

what kind of learning is more interesting?
T, lúcidaTranslúcida
Or.... what kind of learning students want.I remember  S. Dowens, hereSome students do not know how to use the timer. but they know the hours and minutes by a clock.Authentic learning facilitates the understanding of time.The time is mathematics.Some students did not know the musical phrases, but work with music.Music and mathematics.The "rhythm" is different from a student friend, but some teachers dont like.The timing depends on the song with a rhythm, time of each one, and this can ....

In Praise of Inauthentic Learning #change11
Andrew Neuendorf, Andrew Neuendorf
There is nothing authentic about me. Not that I can tell. I climbed into a Bavarian stove once for an afternoon, and when I came out, wrote down the following: “I stink, therefore I’ll bathe.” It was my only insight, though one I share with James Baldwin’s Sonny, who smelled his own humanity in prison.

Abundance or information overflow, does it harm? #change11
jaapsoft2, connectiv
Today I did read a blogpost of Andrew Neuendorf. He mentions Carr and  Carrs book on the nasty effects of internet on brains. Nicholas Carr did evoke some discussion in USA (?)s on information overload and the effects of internet on the brain. As far as I know  Nicholas Carr   is a writer and [...] [Link] Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:35:58 +0000 [Comment]
