Shared online videos have become quite popular. These streamed videos are so pervasive that 69% of Internet users and 52% of adults in the United States have watched or downloaded videos online (Purcell, 2010). It was predicted that videos would represent 50% of total data transfers on the Internet by 2012 (Madden, 2007). These statistics leave little doubt as to the rising importance of shared online videos for educational purposes.

Se você perguntar a um aluno o que o torna bem sucedido na escola, provavelmente você não ouvirá sobre de algum livro fantástico novo ou série de palestras . Muito provavelmente você vai ouvir algo como: "Foi tudo o Sr. Jones. Ele simplesmente nunca desistiu de mim. " Delete the scoop?

It is a great article to build a lesson around as it's a topic which students can easily relate to and because it explores a number of controversial issues about which students are likely to have an opinion.

Many discussions of technology-based assessments concentrate on automating current methods of testing to save time and cost. However, technology also changes what educators can assess, how and when to assess it, and for what purpose. Assessments can be embedded in ICTs, and have the potential to measure learning processes, in addition to end-of-lesson knowledge. Via Nik Peachey

Testing is said to be one of the most important elements in learning and teaching. Exams and tests should not be used as the only way of testing different learners. Thus teachers are kindly asked to assess students performance based the following: Home work assignments, projects in groups, participation, portfolio, oral tests, ......

Over the past 20 years, I have studied and worked with educators who have aspired to be change leaders in a wide variety of schools in the US and elsewhere. Via Ana Cristina Pratas

First, successful change leaders clearly articulate the need for change to a variety of audiences in ===> ways that are intellectually coherent and emotionally compelling. <===
The ability to do this requires that change leaders immerse themselves into radically different worlds.
===> AND they need to have a lot of courage as well! <===

"In many contexts it makes little sense to adopt or build other platforms when potential learners are already in a space, communicating and engaging with content. Interacting in the spaces where learners already exist gives a higher chance of getting them to engage with learning content,"

An interesting article that looks at three ideas that are popular today and discusses why they will not transform schools and provides some alternatives. The three ideas are: * Flipping the classroom * Bring your own device (BYOD) * How we use student surveys Each of these topics has received significan press over the past year and this post brings up isues that also need to be explored.

Unesco estimates that half of the world's 6,000 languages will have disappeared by the end of the century - but new research shows that social media and text messaging in particular are promoting and supporting language diversity.
Texting is now conducted by speakers of around 5,000 languages. "Text messaging is the most linguistically diverse form of written communication that has ever existed," says Munroe. "It's also become the first form of written communication of many of the world's languages," he says.
"Most have only ever been spoken. But the technology and economics of text messages and the proliferation of cells phones means it's the most economic option of communication."

The monological form of teaching – Learning is the student's acquisition of this knowledge.Tools – distributing and intermediary tools.
The dialogical form of teaching – Learning is seen as the student's development of this inherent basis of knowledge. Tools that support students' problem oriented; simulations and more advanced learning games.
The polyphonic form of teaching – Learning is the student's participation in exchange of many different individuals' perception of the world. Tools that support equal collaboration
