Transformational Tasks
Maryanne, Web Tools for Teaching
The focus of José Picardo's blog post, Teaching and Learning with Social Media: A Case Study, really struck a chord with me.  Usually when discussing the use of technology in education, we talk about how tech tools can "enhance" teaching and learning.  However, Picardo discusses the use of social media not only to enhance but  to transform learning tasks.He says, Most interesting to me was the transformative potential of blogs, Web 2.0 applications and social ....

I've been keeping up with information, but have not had a great deal of time recently to sit down and actively keep up this blog.  The Change 11 MOOC has inspired me, and this includes the presenters that I've gotten to watch.  So, now my redesigned Biology course is going live.  This is a hybrid face-to-face / online class, and I'm using many of the MOOC concepts.  I've also invited friends to join and to send their students.  ....

Chaos Theory and the challenge of a paper that uses blogs #Change11
shukie, Shukies Web
I think that I have learned the ways of the academy this last month or so, and that developing skills in the HOT way of the academy are strict and hard to fathom at times.  I think that in large part my desire to explore how the theories of the natural sciences are resonant in educational theory made the task harder than if I had chosen a more straightforward  approach - matching an established learning theory to a study  in a learning institution.  ....

Talking while the teacher is talking: learning in the back channel of #change 11
onewheeljoe, learn, teach, repeat
I've experimented with back channels in my 7th grade language arts classroom. On occasion, I used it as a way to focus students' attention during Socratic circles. The outer circle of students, three times larger than the inner, armed with netbooks, had to respond on a wiki page discussion thread to the participants' comment during the discussion. Three outer circle recorded questions, reactions and quotations from the one participant they tracked. Since I was working with .... [Link] 2012-01-07T18:25:00.001-08:00 [Comment]

Students are critical?
T, lucidTranslucent
Being "critical and reflective " in Education brings various conceptualizations.In higher education may be dependent on the area, where the perspective of the speaker is different, mainly because in addition to personal positions, the focus of the teacher is the discipline that is taught. There is undoubtedly a union of groups in any collegiate course that generates a common direction, but peppered with personal reflections.But the questions in the reflective face or distance learning, should ....

Assessment ponderings
AK, Multilitteratus Incognitus
I was reading John's post the other day titled Assessment, Active Learning and Project based learning where he starts off with the question of whether assessment is a part of learning or instructing.  The answer is yes, but it really depends how much relevance you put on assessment and when in the process of learning or instructing you put the emphasis on this assessment.For example, learning can be different from instruction, not just in who is performing the ....

Consequence of change in learning - teachers have to give up power
George, EdTech - Insights
Listening to Howard Rheingold at the questions session on #change11 MOOC brought home to me how reliant we are as teachers on control. Control of the learning environment, control of what is taught, control of what is assessed, control of the learner. Some of this is inevitable. But if we are to go towards open processes, then some of it we have to replace.Rheingold had three relevant statements on the subject:He tells his students that "absorbing all is not the goal but making sense of it ....

Attention Probes for Net Smarts

Going Off the Record at #durbbu
brainysmurf, 328 - EduTechLand, January 6, 2012.

Thanks, Ben, this is one to make me sit back and think as well. My instinct would be to record it all as well, as someone who has frequently benefitted from inclusion through asynchronicity. Then again, does one lose incentive to 'show up' if it will all be recorded later? Must ponder further...thanks for the food for thought. :) [Comment]

Surviving Education: #change11
brainysmurf, 331 - learn, teach, repeat, January 6, 2012.

Thanks, Joe, you echo a point about professional blind spots that I have been struggling with for some time: teachers are typically excellent students themselves who are able to complete post-secondary studies with high grades as well as successful practice teaching rounds. Thankfully, I had a dean of education who insisted that we learn something new before we graduated, in order to remind us of the challenge/struggle to learn, to fail, to keep trying. I tried to explore piano as an adult and hated it, though I learned a great deal from [Comment]

Sorry I'm late for #change11
brainysmurf, 331 - learn, teach, repeat, January 6, 2012.

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your intention to arrive late as well as the traditional educational concepts that beg to be questioned in an open course. There is lots to experience and reflect on in this environment about authority, authenticity, accountability, time management, priorities and so on. Enjoy the ride and please keep us posted! :) [Comment]
