Presented at the 2010 AERA Conference... Constructivism + Embodied Cognition = Enactivism: Theoretical and Practical Implications for Conceptual Change AERA 2010 Conference: Constructivism + Embodied Cognition = Enactivism: Theoretical and Practical Implications for Conceptual Change Douglas L. Holton
Utah State University
doug.holton@usu.edu
Objectives:
- The objective of this paper is to explore specific theoretical and practical implications of recent research on embodied cognition and enactivism for the design of effective learning environments, especially those targeting conceptual change. -The ultimate goal is to illustrate how enactivism and embodied cognition can help meet the criteria that often define scientific progress (Laudan, 1977), for the purpose of advancing educational research and development and constructivist theory. Namely, embodied cognition and enactivism may: \u2022 explain specific anomalies and inconsistencies in the data from experimental research on conceptual change and learning \u2022 suggest bridges for theoretical divides in conceptual change research (Vosniadou, 2007) \u2022 suggest innovative new instructional techniques \u2022 explain previously unexplained yet successful learning strategies and techniques \u2022 remove the need for certain theoretical constructs \u2022 and, provide a new foundation for existing theories of learning and cognition that suggests new lines of empirical research...

As you read this, students all over the country are sitting for state standardized exams. Schools spend up to 40% of the year on test prep, so that, shall we say, no child is left behind. Schools used to be gatekeepers of knowledge, and memorization was key to success. Thus, we measured students’ abilities to regurgitate facts and formulas. Not anymore. As Seth Godin writes, “If there’s information that can be recorded, widespread digital access now means that just about anyone can look it up. We don’t need a human being standing next to us to lecture us on how to find the square root of a number.” Read more, very interesting...

Oxford Muses on Mac Flashback: Worst Outbreak Since Blaster So how bad was last month's Mac Flashback outbreak and who suffered the most? Our guess: it was bad, and university IT help desks. And it looks like our guess might not be far off the mark. ===> Oxford University Computing Services' network security team (aka OxCERT) has written that they dealt "with what is probably the biggest outbreak since Blaster struck the Windows world all the way back in the summer of 2003." <=== OxCERT dealt with around 1000 incidents for Blaster. They've seen several hundred Flashback incidents… "and they keep on coming." Read more...

Bill Burkhead It all starts with a question As an administrator, my professional development/learning goals are driven by asking - what can I do to make our school the BEST learning environment for our students and teachers? Practice what you preach It has always been my philosophy as an administrator to lead by example, and not ask teachers or students to do anything I have not done, or am willing to do. One of my goals as an administrator has been to always maintain a presence in the classroom as a teacher/learner and not forget where I came from! I have attempted to do this through having our new teachers evaluate my teaching (Supporting New Teachers), visiting classrooms (Hunger Games, What I learned from Kids Today) and becoming a student for a day (Back to School).

Forget BYOB, Today's Hyper-Connected World is all about BYOD. As we mentioned in a recent post about the WEF's Cyber Resilience campaign, we entered the global partnership to help highlight the need for collaborative ... IT departments are finding that the push comes from executives who are used to using their mobile devices on the road and don’t want to be denied access to work-related information while they travel, particularly when it is for business. So, in setting these types of BYOD policies, there are several things to consider:
- What types of devices will your company allow to access corporate data?
- What types of applications will be allowed, from browsing to email to the full corporate environment?
- What policies will you need to protect against lost data should a device be lost or stolen?
- What security do you currently have in place to protect corporate data on personal mobile devices? Forrester claims that only 50 percent of organizations enforce a password policy for mobile devices.
- What is acceptable use and how do you plan to enforce it?
- How do you prevent downloads of unauthorized apps or illegal downloads on a mobile device?
- What happens when someone leaves your organization?

Bill O’Connor works on the Corporate Strategy + Engagement team at Autodesk, where he co-manages the company’s thought leadership platform, edits the publication Autodesk POV, works on the Autodesk vision team, and serves as the primary speechwriter for Autodesk’s CEO and CTO. He also runs the Innovation Genome Project, in which he and his team are researching the top 1,000 innovations in world history, looking for practical patterns and insights that people can apply to their day-to-day work. So the relevant, two-chambered question here is: 1. Why are we so confused about what innovation is?
2. Why are we so confused about how innovation is actually done? This is #criticalthinking, enjoy it and look more about #criticalthinking here: - http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching?tag=Critical-Thinking

I am currently writing a chapter regarding open and networked learning. I have used the term Personal Learning Network (PLN) dozens of times over the last few years, and have seen it mentioned countless times in blog and microblog posts, and other forms of media. However, I cannot seem to find a solid reference or definition for the concept of PLN. I sent out several email messages asking people if knew of an existing article or reference for the PLN definition, and I have yet to receive a response. About the best lead I could find was a post from Stephen Downes that mentioned “Dave Warlick has taken the concept of the Personal Learning Environment, renamed it (to Personal Learning Network).” Gust MEES: see also my curated articles about here... - http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching?tag=PLN-&nbsp - http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching?tag=PLE

The same Java vulnerability used in the infamous Flashback malware is now being used as an attack vector for a single piece of malware that can infect both Windows and Mac OS X computers. Security vendors have discovered a new piece of malware that attacks both PCs and Macs. It uses the same Java security vulnerability exploited by the Flashback malware that infected hundreds of thousands of Macs. While the attack vector is the same as in Flashback, this Java Applet checks which OS it is running on and downloads suitable malware for it.
