Beth Dichter's insight:
Educational transfer is a key component of teaching. What can we do as teachers to help our students be able to take what they have been taught and apply it in new situations? This post explores this issue with a focus on how to use digital media to enhance the transfer. It discusses recent research that has been published by the National Academies Press, "Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century". Learn about the three processes that take place when a student learns a new idea. "Check out (the) awesome chart from National Academies Press that summarizes twelve simple, research-based strategies for multimedia design."

This post shares an experience in the Texas City High School and the implementation of a "digital media an design project with high school students." The author had worked with the school during the school year and observed many challenges including "the daunting and daily task of keeping students academically engaged; the corrosive effects of chronic absenteeism in the classroom; the impact of economic and familial instability on students, teachers, and schools; and the creative ways youth from poorly resourced schools and households are using digital media." They set to work with a goal: "could we work with teachers and students to create a more dynamic learning environment?" Read the article to see the project that was developed and what they have learned.

"One of the best things the Internet blessed us with (besides Maru the box-loving cat) involves increased educational opportunities for children and adults alike. Although some progress still needs to be made when it comes to accessibility opening lessons up to special needs learners, there are plenty of resources for engaging a wide variety of absorption styles. Whether you're a teacher looking to incorporate new media into a classroom setting, a homeschooling family, or a parent hoping to supplement the day’s formal coursework, the following resources offer some particularly great examples of using digital technology to get kids exploring the universe. They’re fun. They’re free. And they feature a diverse selection of topics and strategies, meaning almost every user will find something of interest."

"Working in the field of digital media and learning, where the important role of new technologies in learning seems self-evident, the slow pace of change in mainstream education can feel frustrating. Responding to this challenge, we give a lot of attention to thinking about ways to support and encourage teachers to make greater use of the opportunities presented by digital media, but perhaps we should spend more time considering how and why technologies come to be used, or not used, in the first place."

"Bloom’s Taxonomy can be a powerful tool to transform teaching and learning. By design, it focuses attention away from content and instruction, and instead emphasizes the “cognitive events” in the mind of a child. And this is no small change"
Beth Dichter's insight:
But we are in the 21st century. How should we look at Bloom's today? This post suggests four strategies to use as we look at the 21st century skills "which include persistent connectivity, dynamic media forms, information-rich (digital and non-digital) environments, and an emphasis on visibility for pretty much everything." * Use every level * Use asynchronous collaboration * Allow students to BYOM * Use Bloom's spiraling Additional information on each of these strategies is available in the post.

As I become a better facilitator it is important to find engaging, effective and efficient methods and strategies within the classrooms of our children; as well as for all adults attending brick & mortor or online colleges. Bloom's Taxonomy is an essential tool!

So you want to have your students create a digital media project...but where to start...which type of project should they do? This posts explores this issue, providing a list of nine Best Practices as well as a variety of project ideas and resources. The first Best Practice is "start with the end in mind."

This post links to a SlideShare presentation that looks at educator "best practice" as well as student choice and Bloom's Taxonomy when it comes to designing digital lessons for assessment. When we look at digital lessons our goal is to meet the standards, and the tools we choose should help us enhance, extend and reinforce the material. This is an excellent example and a rubric is included.

When Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, he wanted to make a closed network for the elite at Harvard. Over time, he realized that by opening it up, he would be able to build something that cataloged the college experience for everyone. Today the majority of college students use social media. Look at the statistics and you decide if the experience of college students is "enhanced or hampered by social media."

The ASIDE blog takes a look at population using a variety of data visualizations: The Miniature Earth Project, Who is the World's Most Typical Person?, and Breathing Earth. All are "eye-catching presentations of images, data and design. The clarity and simplicity in the use of information mixed with sound, be it music or sizzling emissions, coalesce into an effective message. Their delivery engages the viewer to think and ask questions, and our students are fascinated by each one."

We are living in a historical moment of transformation and realignment in the creation and sharing of knowledge, in social, political and economic life, and in global connectedness. There is wide agreement that we need new models of education suited to this historic moment, and not simply new models of schooling, but entirely new visions of learning better suited to the increasing complexity, connectivity, and velocity of our new knowledge society...for more info go to http://connectedlearning.tv

While large-scale surveys have documented the types of media to which 5–9-year-olds are devoting increasing amounts of time, we know less about how and why they are using these media and what they might be learning as a result. This research provides rich details on the processes, relationships, and contexts that larger scale studies on children’s media use cannot by examining two 8-year-old girls’ engagement with video games, the Web, mobile devices, and other emerging technologies against the backdrop of family life.

The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University released a new report from the Youth and Media project: “Youth and Digital Media: From Credibility to Information Quality". The authors reviewed literature at the intersection of digital media, youth and information quality - primarily works from library and information science, sociology, education and selected ethnographic studies. The top four findings: 1. Search shapes the quality of information that youth experience online. 2. Youth use cues and heuristics to evaluate quality, esp. visual and interactive elements. 3. Content creation and dissemination foster digital fluencies that can feed back into search and evaluation behaviors. 4. Information skills acquired through personal and social activities can benefit learning in a social context. You may access the complete report at this website, as well as the infographic and a one page summary and an executive summary.
