Getting Started with OneNote - Microsoft in Education

Getting Started with OneNote - Microsoft in Education | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Learning is more powerful and dynamic with tools that are already right in front of you – and it’s up to educators to impress this on students in the classroom.

With Microsoft OneNote, educators can create digital notebooks that support academic standards and education outcomes across disciplines and tasks, such as writing, reading, mathematics, science, history, CTE, and elective courses. Students may use OneNote across content areas and grade levels, and use OneNote to compile and organize unstructured information, research, and content. OneNote also supports research, collaboration, information management, communication, note taking, journaling, reflective writing, and academic requirements.

Using Bloom's Taxonomy In The 21st Century: 4 Strategies For Teaching

Useful post that covers stages of Blooms Taxonomy and reasons for application
Vanessa Camilleri's curator insight, January 7, 2015 4:14 AM

Quite an interesting insight which has made me ponder on some questions. In Malta we are trying to achieve much with a new learning outcomes framework that we are implementing in schools. My worries would be - are we trying to be quite ambitious in that? As a country I feel that we are too preoccupied with curricula, assessment, instructions, and standards and data. How can we hope to achieve a 'real' 21st century education that is focused more on continuous connectivity, communication, and active role taking if we don't focus enough on changing mentalities and our perception of the 'culture of learning'?

Augmented Reality (AR) is cutting-edge technology that allows for a digitally enhanced view of the real world, uncovering hidden images, videos and texts to the user when the 'trigger' (or 'marker') image or item is scanned by a camera, adding layers of digital information directly on top of objects around us.

Going the extra mile | Learning with 'e's

This is number 26 in my series on learning theories. I'm working through the alphabet of psychologists and theorists, providing a brief overview of each theory, and how it can be applied in education. Previous posts in this series are all linked below. The previous post highlighted issues around the theory of Communities of Practice, from the work of Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger. In this post, I'm revisiting a well known and heavily used motivational theory - Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs.

Big Data: Learning vectors and velocities | Learning with 'e's

The most interesting session I attended at Bett 2014 was to hear Stephen Heppell speak in the main arena. Stephen was on top form as usual, and in his avuncular style managed to engage 800 or so delegates effortlessly for 30 minutes. He showcased some of his latest ideas for educational innovation using technology, under the banner of 'Big Data'. Much of his talk, thankfully, has less to do with Big Data, and more to do with how kids can use their devices to capture the data and use it to better understand the world around them.

Scenarios are a great way to engage your learners and reinforce your learning objectives. Instead of just reading content and clicking through, learners are forced to truly absorb the reading and picture themselves in a real-life situation. This helps them apply the reading and improve job performance.
