"Mural.ly is a new tool (still in beta, launched last week) that is a cross between Prezi and mind maps. It’s easy to use and share what you create (perfect for most students, teachers, and parents) but the real beauty of mural.ly is in its lack of structure.
What draws me to use the site is the ability to fluidly lay out all your ideas, thoughts, images, and whatever else you want on one simple board. It’s designed to be home to your random ideas, inspiration, and other thoughts."

Learning to learn in a changing world.
Anne Whaits's insight:
Another superb presentation by @langwitches in which Silvia shares critical and powerful messages for all in T&L. Educators need to become learners; Schools need to become learning communities; We all need to develop Digital Fluencies. The context of learning is changing. Look around you, pay attention to our changing world and the shifts in culture affecting education. Time to think differently about learning. Delete the scoop?

" Dr Ian Green from the School of Education here at Adelaide and I [Allan Carrington] have used Padagogy 101 (introduction to iPad in HE) and Padagogy 201 (more advanced use for L&T) to train over 600 faculty from universities in Australia. During my research I saw lots of great work done by others using Bloom’s Taxonomy including the Revised Taxonomy which has now become the Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. However when I discovered the excellent pioneer work done by Kathy Schrock with “Bloomin’ Apps” I got the idea for the Padagogy Wheel. Dare I say it but it is the next version for mobile learning of the ongoing importance of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Bloom’s is still fundamental to good teaching and learning."
Anne Whaits's insight:
Allan Carrington (University of Adelaide, Australia) devised the Padagogy Wheel to support his work in training and developing faculty to use the iPad in higher education learning and teaching. I particularly like the non-linear presentation of thinking skills in this wheel. Do explore Allan's blog for other great resources including PADAGOGY 101, PADAGOGY 201 and more.

A great summary of emerging technologies, pedagogies and contexts from @timbuckteeth.

"In 1956, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom and a group of other researchers created one of the enduring models of how learning should be structured and supported ......There is a definite place for a flipping of Bloom’s Taxonomy in the world of education. Our understanding of how people learn has changed and there is a premium on creativity that needs to be encouraged. The traditional model is outdated and fails to account for some of the realities of the 21st century. Adding a social constructivist slant to Wright’s model helps to ensure that it won’t be outdated before it even gains widespread acceptance." - Dr Justin Marquis

We do a lot of work with Bloom's Taxonomy and tend to emphasize that great thinking usually happens across the levels in very rapid, non-linear succession...the linear/level-like vision seems limiting.

"MentorMob becomes truly innovative, and appealing to educators, in the fact that the curated collections take the form of "Learning Playlists." These playlists allow users to sequence the resources they are gathering so that, rather than a random assemblage of information, learners are presented with a logical progression of steps that helps them effectively learn the concept, skill, or process that they have come to MentorMob to find out about. Essentially, by relying on a community-based, crowdsourced approach to developing instruction, MentorMob facilitates an effective and efficient way for visitors to the site to learn just about anything."

During your lifetime you have probably experienced inspirational educators, or witnessed inspiring lectures. But, what about you? Are you such an educator? If not, why not? In this talk, I [Zaid Alsagoff] explored some of the ingredients top educators in the 21st century have, and how we can learn from them to reinvent ourselves to reach our true potential as an educator. This talk was given on the 9 February (2013) at Jazan University (Saudi Arabia).

This is my presentation for MoRCE-NET conference.

I also touched on the digital taxonomy and provided a practical example of how students can use it in conducting Google searches.

Not a fan based on my children's experience with the whole thing. It does not work the way it states. The classroom becomes a time of reteaching what was supposedly learned from the video the night before. The flipped classroom needs an incredible amount of training with highly skilled, and motivated teachers. I am not a fan.

Over the past two years, I've been working with my district to transition from the popular textbook towards Open Educational Resources, or OER. One of the leading benefits of OER options is that they are free and open to educators. That in itself is a reason to inquire. The information has been vetted for credibility and some of it is derived from some of the world's top colleges and universities. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa)
Anne Whaits's insight:
Four great OER sources provided here for teachers to explore. 
Patricia Daniels's curator insight,
March 9, 7:46 AM
Making the transition to OERs can be quite daunting as it's not just a matter of accessing open content but repurposing it and digitizing your own to suit your students' needs. I find that using OERs in combination with cloud computing, mobile assisted seamless learning and field trips into virtual worlds, works well with my language students. However, what works within my teaching context may not be appropriate for yours. In my opinion, it's not just about introducing new technologies and pedagogies because they are trending, but doing a thorough analysis of what is needed within a specfic context before transforming your teaching practices, as these transformations will influence your students' learning environment and learning outcomes.

Artists and designers have used this for years to brainstorm and make connections, but it was by physically cutting and taping images to a wall. Finally we'll have the same freedom to use our digital images and internet finds to make a leap into a new way of thinking.
This has so many possiblities for students. The ability to collaborate and share resources on a project, creating a place for an artist to brainstorm their ideas, and a place to brainstorm for content, planning or curriculum. Looking forward to learning more about this site and how to implement in the classroom.
We used mural.ly as a class...so far we like it as a tool in which to share ideas.
