Why Scoopit Is Becoming An Indispensable Learning Tool

Why Scoopit Is Becoming An Indispensable Learning Tool | An Eye on New Media | Scoop.it
From www.teachthought.com - February 22, 4:01 AM

Curation is a valuable skill for today’s learner. In a culture of content overload, members that provide great content to their audience will be recognized leaders in network communities. Optimally, we equip students to differentiate good content from bad in preparation for their further education and careers. Curating an online topic (and allowing comments) also increases self-awareness and provides additional insight from others. The nuances of sharing content and writing to an audience become much better understood through interactivity between the curator and participating audience.

Ken Morrison's insight:

I am a big fan of Scoop.it.  It adds value to my professional career.  I find so many things that I am interested in.  It is fun for me to try to understand the algorythm. I believe that curation will be a powerful tool for our future.

I completely agree with this post. I fully integrated it into one of my courses last year. Students had to choose a potential future career and create a scoop.it page to help them learn about that field. Most feedback was positive. A few students still use it seven months after the grades have been turned in!

Five Ways to Bring Innovation Into the Classroom

From blogs.kqed.org - August 29, 2012 11:23 PM

Ken's Key Takeaway.  Simply giving videos to watch at home is not flipping.  That is rearranging.

 

Here are the big 5 from Mind/Shift

 

1. INFUSE PASSION INTO LEARNING.

2. TRY SOMETHING NEW.

3. CONSIDER THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL.

4. TAP INTO STUDENTS’ IDEAS.

5. CONSIDER THE FUTURE SCHOOL DAY.

8 Great Reasons to Flip Your Classroom (and 4 of the Wrong Reasons), from Bergmann and Sams | Emerging Education Technology

8 Great Reasons to Flip Your Classroom (and 4 of the Wrong Reasons), from Bergmann and Sams | Emerging Education Technology | An Eye on New Media | Scoop.it
From www.emergingedtech.com - August 26, 2012 10:26 AM

Here are the 4 Bad reasons:

Taken from article:

-Because you think it will create a 21st Century classroom: Pedagogy should always drive technology, not vice-versa.
-Because you think you will become cutting edge: Flipping isn’t about the newest tools.
-Because you think it exempts you from being a good teacher: Good teaching is much more than delivering good content.
-Because you hope it will make your job easier: That’s not going to happen and it’s not what the flip is about. The nature of the job changes, in many good ways, but it is not about making the work easier, and there are plenty of challenges along the way as the process is adopted and put to use.

I come closer to being "Flipped" each semester.  I am really thinking about purchasing Camtasia this semester.  I think it works very well for allowing students to go back to what they missed.  KM

 

Many educators are experimenting with the idea of a flipped classroom model. Find out what it is and why everyone's talking about it.
