Useful handbook for instructional design including lots of ideas for classroom activities I found this via Howard Rheingold https://plus.google.com/u/0/105273428597140573510/posts/RkYnTESdw8d A new term for me "peerogogy" - self organized peer learning. It attracted me because I'm doing organized peer learning and dabbling in self-organized peer learning. I have been involved in an experiment of self-organized peer learning for the past 18 months with colleagues in social media and nonprofits - and this gives me some underlying research/frameworks/thinkers to connect to better understand it. From the document: According to Charles Jeffrey Danoff, writer, educator, and organizer at P2PU, peeragogy (which he refers to as “paragogy”), is a collection of “the best practices of effective peer learning.” (Paragogy: Synergizing individual and organizational learning) It is also a theory of peer-to-peer learning and teaching that addresses the challenge of peer-producing a useful and supportive context for self-directed learning. Danoff is currently putting together a book on peeragogy, in which he outlines 5 principles that encompass what the growing movement has been trying to accomplish:
Curated by Beth Kanter Role has changed in instruction. It is no longer just about information delivery, and more about making sense of the information facilitated by the instructor. "It used to be just be the 'sage on the stage,' the source of knowledge and information," he says. "We now know that it's not good enough to have a source of information."

Running your own business takes a tremendous amount of time and energy. And, as we learned last week, entrepreneurs are uniquely prone to exhausting themselves. This makes for a bad combination that can have a dangerous result: burnout.

Curated by Beth Kanter Lecturing was invented as a way to share information in a time before books were widely available. Now, there are better approaches. Peer Instruction Rather than teaching by telling, he teaches by questioning.
Before each class, students are assigned reading in the textbook. Pretty standard for a lecture class, but if you talk to college students you'll find that many of them don't bother with the reading ahead of time. They come to class to figure out what information the professor thinks is important, then they go to the textbook to read up on what they didn't understand. "In my approach I've inverted that," says Mazur. He expects students to familiarize themselves with the information before hand so that class time can be spent helping them understand what the information means. To make sure his students are prepared, Mazur has set up a web-based monitoring system where everyone has to submit answers to questions about the reading prior to coming to class. The last question asks students to tell Mazur what confused them. He uses their answers to prepare a set of multiple-choice questions he uses during class. Mazur begins class by giving a brief explanation of a concept he wants students to understand. Then he asks one of the multiple-choice questions. Students get a minute to think about the question on their own and then answer it using a mobile device that sends their answers to Mazur's laptop. Next, he asks the students to turn to the person sitting next to them and talk about the question. The class typically erupts in a cacophony of voices, as it did that first time he told students to talk to each other because he couldn't figure out what else to do. Once the students have discussed the question for a few minutes, Mazur instructs them to answer the question again.

The focus on preparing leaders to change, rather than actual implementation. “Ready, Set, Go.” Skills-building, reports, and plans, will only take people so far (i.e., “Ready” and “Set”). In the end, they need to be able to take action (i.e., “Go”).
