7 Helpful Resources for Students to Boost their Study Performance - Clapway

7 Helpful Resources for Students to Boost their Study Performance - Clapway | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
If you are a student of any study level, your performance probably is one of your main concerns. You want better grades and compliments from your teachers, professors, and classmates, and this is only natural.

But with so much to do between study classes to attend and assignments to get done, it is very likely that you could make a good use of any resources able to boost your resources.

Thankfully, the educational industry has been developing many products and services with exactly the same goal that you have.

Developing World EdTech

Developing World EdTech | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Literacy unlocks human potential and is the cornerstone of development. It leads to better health, better employment opportunities, and safer and more stable societies. Just by ensuring children know how to read by the time they’ve left primary school, 171 million young people could be lifted out of poverty.

Evernote Shrinks Free Plan - Here's What I'm Using Now | Free Technology for Teachers

Evernote Shrinks Free Plan - Here's What I'm Using Now | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

For a long time I have used Evernote as my primary tool for personal bookmarks. That's about to change because today Evernote announced that their free plan will soon only allow you to use Evernote on two devices. As I use three devices or more in the course of a typical week, the new Evernote free plan won't work for me. So instead of using Evernote I'm going to start using Google Keep for bookmarking.

Knowing and Recommending Edtech Tools (even when you might not use them) – Blended Librarian | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
Perhaps your institution has a teaching with technology event. Mine does. Once a year. One of the presentationss on the program that always gets a good turnout is our faculty colleague who shares her top 20 tech tools in 40 minutes. In addition to being a fun way to learn some new technology applications, most of the attendees use it as a check on their own “up-to-dateness” with edtech. You’ll hear folks saying things like “Yep, know that one” or “Heard about it – haven’t had a chance to try it yet”. Our colleague is always hoping to find a few that take us all by surprise. The campus tech symposium is just one way we can find out about new edtech, teaching apps and more.

This week at ISTE 2016 Google and Samsung had large booth displays devoted to virtual reality headsets. The proliferation of virtual reality headsets has been the catalyst for some good conversations about the value of virtual reality in education. Many have wondered if it is a novelty or if could have a meaningful impact on students. I have been a part of those conversations.

Lesson Flows: app smashing instructional design — @joycevalenza NeverEndingSearch | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
I’ve written quite a bit about app smashing, the understanding that it often takes more than one app or tool to effectively accomplish a digital task.  Well, that concept is also true about building instruction these days. How can we better harness and leverage all of those appealing digital tools we discover?

What the flip? Exploring technologies to support a flipped classroom by @katessoper – UKEdChat.com

What the flip? Exploring technologies to support a flipped classroom by @katessoper – UKEdChat.com | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
A flipped classroom is one where the lectures become the homework and the traditional homework tasks take place in the lesson time. This enables students to attend sessions with an understanding of the subject and to conceptualise and build upon it through doing exercises in class, with you, as the tutor, on hand to answer questions and explore the topic in more detail. This moves the tutor from the “sage on the stage, to the guide on the side” (King, 1993).
