Free, group sharing internet sites are also used which require access to the Internet via a smartphone or computer. Sites such as Flickr Photo Sharing, Google Docs, and Web 2.0 tools supplement some of the activities. Via JackieGerstein Ed.D.

Teaching online is challenging. This site is being developed as a resource for online teachers. The materials presented here have been created by students in a graduate course devoted to developing instructional strategies for teaching (and learning) in online environments. Many of the activities you will find here have been adapted from activities typically found in traditional face-to-face classrooms. Others are completely original - developed solely for the purpose of enhancing instruction in synchronous and asynchronous learning environments. We are confident you will find something of value within this site

Substantial interview with Sir Ken Robinson -JL
"If the first stage of leading a culture of innovation is acknowledging that ‘organisations are not mechanisms and people are not components’, stage two is accepting that there’s no quick fix. “There are all kinds of things that will get in the way of creativity, but there is no guaranteed formula for making it happen,” says Robinson.
"He continues: “Very often people are looking for silver bullets: ‘How do we do it?’ There are rules and conventions you can learn from the past, but the great thing with creativity is there is always a chance you can come up with something completely different that no one has ever thought of before, and there is no set formula to get to that. It’s about recognising that this isn’t just about efficiency. It’s about a frame of mind. It’s a state of possibility that people have to engage with.” Via Jim Lerman, Barbara Bray

This means that, today, a supremely talented and criminally underpaid college teacher doesn't need to rely on a large, exploitative organization in order to reach students. All she needs is a company like Udemy, which provides course-building tools, free, along with an online marketplace where courses can be sold (or given away) to students. The teachers can charge whatever they like, and they keep 70 percent of revenues along with 100 percent of intellectual-property rights to the course. 
Google always pitched Google Drive, which launched in April after a considerable period of hype, as a replacement for Google Docs. 
The OER project, created by the University of Central Florida (UCF) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), with funding from the NGLC, is called the “Blended Learning Toolkit,” which seeks to provide higher education institutions and instructors with a guide for developing and managing blended and online learning programs. Yet, while the Blended Learning Toolkit may have been developed by university experts for higher education, it also serves as a valuable resource for school districts and teachers interested in implementing blended and online learning programs in K-12 education. |

"Aggregating images to share with students is an increasingly common classroom use for the tool."
"But social curation journalism is, not surprisingly, one of the main applications for Pinterest among J-school faculty."
"But the big issue some are warning about with Pinterest has to do with its copyright policy regarding the images users pin." Via k3hamilton

Imagine it's the year 2032. You are a high school student. You are at a center where a visual scanner confirms your identity so you can enter a room where you are about to receive a brain scan. A robot attendant with a soothing voice recommends that you should relax and that you are welcome to take a nap. As you lie down in the scanner and earphones playing your favorite music block out ambient noise, you find yourself drifting off to sleep. You wake up. The scan is now over and there is good news. You don't have any medical complications. Rather, you've found out that with your brain characteristics, you have a good chance of being admitted to the college of your dreams. Why is that? 
Many people want to learn computer science, but not many can afford to do so at the best institutions. Fortunately many of the best institutions in the world are opening up their courses so you can take a course from Stanford, MIT or Harvard simply by going online and learning at your own pace. 
This Blended Learning Toolkit is a free, open resource for educational institutions interested in developing or expanding their blended learning initiatives. |
