Google sind Apple-Nutzer jährlich eine Milliarde Dollar wert ===> Privacy!??? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Analysten glaubt Devitt nicht, dass Apple und Google eine Umsatzbeteiligung vereinbart haben. Er geht vielmehr davon aus, dass Apple pro verkauftem iOS-Gerät einen festen Betrag von Google erhält. Künftig werde der Suchkonzern noch mehr für die Voreinstellung seiner Suche auf iOS-Geräten ausgeben. Die Summe steige von Jahr zu Jahr an.

Have You Flipped Yet?

Have You Flipped Yet? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

No, I’m not asking whether you have finally lost it, but whether you are participating in perhaps the most revolutionary innovation in education over the last 50 years. “Flipping the Classroom” is a concept which arose from the incredible success of the Khan Academy. 

 

Essentially, the concept is based on the fact that teachers are no longer the fountain of knowledge (in fact recent surveys have shown that learners are much more likely to Google for information than to ask their teachers or their families).

 

So in “The Flipped Classroom” model, knowledge is delivered at home (via online eLearning, Khan Academy videos etc) and the classroom is used to provide additional support.

What Good Teaching Looks Like: Digital Research | Creating Lifelong Learners

What Good Teaching Looks Like: Digital Research | Creating Lifelong Learners | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

As per the Common Core State Standards students must incorporate digital research in their work.  I interpret this to mean that students need a twenty-first century version of book sense.  


We used to teach students how to find books in a library, how to determine who the author and illustrator is, and where to find copyright information.  We now need to teach them how to determine keywords, know how to search, be able to determine who created a particular web page and evaluate a page for bias and reliability.

Infographic: Best Internet Usage? Not USA. | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Staying on top of internet and other technology trends are important to understanding the future of social learning and learning management systems.

 

How individuals are using the internet and how countries are developing the infrastructure to support online growth is critical to how quickly people will adopt new online opportunities for shopping, learning, sharing photos, stay connected, etc.

 

The results of how people around the world are experiencing the online world may surprise you.

 

According to a recent study, not only does the US have a lower percentage of households with personal computers, but also offers slower bandwidth per user than countries such as Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Japan, and others.

How to Create a Culture of Social Learning

How to Create a Culture of Social Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Social learning is taking place all around us – and has been for as long as people have been actively communicating.

 

In fact, at its most basic, social learning is how we all begin learning from infancy. By observing our surroundings and adapting to the behaviors and actions of others, we are engaging in the purest form of social learning. When applied to the modern workplace however, social learning takes on a new meaning and importance.

A very GOOD trick to use that is to show the students some tools and telling them that they are YOUR "Secret Tools" and give them the download link! Show them also examples which YOU created, BUT these examples shouldn't be perfect (even weak...) and challenge them to do BETTER, NOT TIME LIMIT to do that!!!

New Ofsted Framework; how does your e-safety measure? Also new e-safety resources and tools – Free Update Briefings

The autumn term will again see radical change; change that will have far reaching impact on e-safety and professional responsibilities at your school, academy or organisation. The UK Safer Internet Centre is organising over 100 short briefing sessions, right across the nation, to outline these changes and their impact.

These sessions will be free to attend and will aim to last approximately 2 hours. They are primarily aimed at senior leaders and those with

a ===> safeguarding responsibility. <===


Why are these briefings important?

E-Safety is one of those areas of safeguarding that never seems desperately important until things go wrong; only then do a host of authorities appear to point out the massive gaps that you missed. The recent Serious Case Review at a North Somerset First School where a member of staff had been systematically abusing children over a period of time clearly identified the glaring gaps in online safeguarding that in hindsight are so obvious but at the time, obviously didn’t register as a cause for concern - continue reading...

Each session will include the following updates 

 

*** Latest technology overview; opportunities and threats:


 - Latest research conclusions
 - Ofsted frameworks (England venues)
 - Legislation update (England and Wales)
 - Latest tools and resources
 - Follow up
 - Question and Answers

20 Tips To Promote A Self-Directed Classroom Culture

 

It’s an age-old saying, “Give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.”

 

What separates good teachers from the excellent ones? The excellent ones are handing out fishing poles; creating a culture in the classroom of independence and self-reliance.

 

These students don’t just recite facts or regurgitate information- they have learned how to learn. They know that if the answer isn’t in front of them, they have the tools to do the investigation and research.

Learning to Learn is a MUST in the 21st Century to manage the BIG DATA and to be prepared for a "Life Long Learning"!
