E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

The architect leader knows that the ability to create a nourishing and challenging environment for people to grow in is more important than any technical skill she can possess.

Continuous Improvement – The leader of tomorrow will regularly challenge old beliefs and be passionate about learning and about applying that learning in the real world. She will often ask my favorite question “Who is doing something differently then I am and what can I learn from them?”

The New Leader is Authentic. How and who you are is just as important as what you know! Hold yourself to the highest standards – don’t talk the talk unless you are prepared to walk the walk. Don’t expect of others what you don’t expect from your self. Be real, tell the truth. The leaders that are the most revered are those that let the light of who they are shine through in all they do. They are honest, forthright and clear.

Coach/Facilitator – A leader needs to be a coach not a commander. He needs to hold space open for things to happen. It is said that when leaders do their job properly people believe they have done it themselves. Leaders are there to help people see things from a different perspective, to provide questions that encourage learning and to help turn work experiences into learning experiences.

Our new leader is a Visionary. It’s clearly documented that visionary leaders are successful at mobilizing human potential. A vision provides focus. It’s a tool for aligning energy. Clear vision and purpose provide people with a framework from which to make decisions, it organizes action and effort.

This article lists some great pieces of advice for anyone blogging out there.

We often say we want creativity and innovation – personalization – but every mechanism we use to measure it is through control and compliance,” Laufenberg said. “Those things never come together as long as that is the overriding moment.” She cautions educators who may be excited about the progressive educational implications for “personalized learning” to make sure everyone they work with is on the same page about what that phrase means.

Informational technology needs to be holistically integrated into our learning environments.
The integration of information technology into our unique learning environments can be greatly enhanced if we apply constructivist approaches. Such approaches could include, but are not limited to discovery learning, inquiry based learning, play-based learning and making. But they also include listening, reflecting, and taking the time to process. Essentially, we want our learners to become great thinkers. We want learners to take an active role in the learning process and move away from the passive regurgitation of information being passed from a teacher to a student. Effective infusion of information technology into our learning environments is an excellent way to achieve this.

In our world, information technology is not just a means to an end. It more about the information and how we use it that is the most important. How to find it, how to process it, how to use it, and how to build on it. The technology we use facilitates and re-shapes this use of information in many new ways. For instance, no longer are we following learning in a linear fashion, say, based on a textbook. Rather, we are working in flexible frameworks where learners can focus on big ideas, but follow their learning along multiple paths happening all at once in the learning environment.

Lorsque les élèves éprouvent de grandes difficultés à l'école, il est primordial de leur enseigner à développer un esprit de croissance personnelle axé sur les efforts et les défis personnels. Le concept de growth mindset est vraiment intéressant pour illustrer aux enfants que l'intelligence et le succès n'est pas fixe mais relié aux efforts aux tentatives et aux réajustements. Voir Carole DWECK l'auteure de ce concept.

Why educators are paying more attention to noncognitive factors in the classroom, and whether it’s more than just a fad.

Nestled within the New-Age-y sounding concept of “noncognitive factors” are fairly concrete examples of what parents and educators should and shouldn’t do to prepare students for the rigors of college and their careers. Gleaned from research into brain development and human behavior, a toolkit is emerging on how to best respond to and encourage students’ grit, persistence, and the ability to learn from one’s mistakes.

I love how this article combines the two books I would like to have my faculty do as a book study: Grit and Mindset. Both of these books are easy reads but cause one to reflect on what we say and what we encourage/discourage by our practices and how this influences students.

Join us on this exciting course covering the hugely important topic of developing digital skills in our classrooms. Digital skills are already an essential requirement for young people to succeed in an increasingly digitized society. Not only are these skills demanded for an increasing number of jobs, they also are a requirement and a right of citizens, if they are to be functional in today’s society. 

Schools and teachers therefore need support to work with their students to develop a wide range of digital skills that ensure young people leaving school have the skills required by the labour market and by an increasingly digitized society. 

The course therefore aims to guide teachers in how to develop a range of digital skills and to introduce them to the tools and resources that are available to them. At the end of the course, teachers should be able to design lessons that focus on a range of digital skills, make use of innovative tools to assist their own and the students’ work in this area.

There are Many Reasons Why Flexible, Active Learning Classrooms Should be Widely Adopted We’ve converted a few classrooms to more collaborative spaces over the last few years at The College of Westchester, and faculty reaction has generally been quite positive. These initial room changes have revolved around modifying the layout of a few classrooms from the row-by-row footprint of the traditional lecture room to a more interactive, group-oriented layout of round tables.

Here are some resources for teaching with iPads.

Keep for reference and for own enjoyment.

And if nothing else, it should put a nail in the coffin of the one-day training session which has become the default setting for teacher development in many schools.

It is good to have a list like this to reflect on and consider what else I need to make sure to include in our professional development for our teachers this next year.

Another list of planning tools.

Richard Paul's critical thinking model was adapted to the challenge of engineering education, and published in July 2006 as a guide to Engineering Reasoning. Paul's model is briefly described and exemplified by questions engineers ask in practice. This paper describes classroom exercises employing the model which are suitable for undergraduate and graduate engineering program.

The numbers reported in the “School in 2030” survey appear to tell a dominant story, one that involves drastic change and a forward-looking perspective regarding the future form that the educational system will take. While innovation is a prevailing theme in the discussion about the future of school, it is important not to confuse the need for innovation with the need for change.

As Noam Chomsky posits, “what we’re in need of is reversing the process of undermining what is positive about the educational system. We want to resist that and at the same time develop approaches which will improve on it as a tool, a commitment”. While there are many merits to forward evolution in education, it is important to also consider the lessons that can also be learned from looking back.

European Schoolnet and Cisco release the first ever report exploring the context, duties, challenges and training needs of ICT Administrators in schools. This report is intended to raise awareness of the challenges and needs of this community of school IT Administrators, and to initiate a dialogue amongst public and private sector organizations to find solutions.

Across Europe, and for many years now, governments, significant investments in ICT connectivity, equipment and services in order to make digital age teaching and learning a reality for young people, and to equip them with the competences needed to thrive in the 21st century. The people in schools who are responsible for maintaining and upgrading the technological infrastructure occupy an increasingly vital role in ensuring that this investment pays dividends, and deserve support to fulfill this mission.

That is why European Schoolnet has worked in partnership with Cisco- with its experience in the Cisco Networking Academy Program - to explore the context, duties, challenges and training needs of IT Administrators in schools.

Le projet de loi adaptant le cadre de l’archivage électronique et créant un nouveau statut a été voté à l’unanimité à la Chambre.

Reporté précédemment, le projet de loi 6543 concernant l’archivage électronique devait être finalisé avant la pause estivale, avait annoncé son rapporteur, Franz Fayot sur Paperjam.lu.

«C’est une bonne nouvelle, car ce texte est très attendu par pas mal de gens et des entreprises sont dans les starting-blocks pour réaliser de l’archivage électronique à une autre échelle», indiquait le député LSAP.

«Au-delà des centres d’hébergement de données hautement sécurisées au Luxembourg et l’excellente connectivité tant nationale qu’internationale du pays, le cadre légal moderne et pragmatique relatif à l’archivage électronique constitue un argument supplémentaire pour attirer de grandes entreprises cherchant à centraliser leurs archives électroniques dans un seul pays», s’est félicité le ministre de l’Économie Étienne Schneider à la tribune de la Chambre suite à l’adoption de la loi qui «s’inscrit parfaitement dans l’initiative commune ‘Digital Lëtzebuerg’ du gouvernement».

Lifelong learning should play a role in Global Citizenship Education
‘Global citizens’ are more involved in their communities and are aware of the global ties of their actions. Lifelong learning can play a crucial role in Global Citizenship Education to raise awareness of global inequalities, to foster democratic change and to empower citizens worldwide.

Lifelong learning keeps our ideas flowing
