Using Online Tools to Engage - and be Engaged by - The Public (eGovernment Resource Centre)

Deciding how best to use online tools to engage the public may be the ultimate moving target for public managers. This is not just because of the rapid development of new tools, or 'apps', for engagement.

In one of my previous post entitled what every teacher should know about google. reference was made to the notions of the 21st century learner and how these learners depend wholly on media and social networking to live in this fast_paced world. In today’s post i will present two short videos that will hopefully change what some think about teaching. The following videos are among the top educative videos online .

Free Technology for Teachers: Smash Cards - Augmented Reality Flashcards

Free Technology for Teachers: Smash Cards - Augmented Reality Flashcards | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Smash Cards is a new service offering augmented reality flashcards. Smash Cards is still in a closed beta, but when I learned about it from Scott McLeod I knew I had to pass it along. The purpose of Smash Cards is to add value to the flashcard experience. Here's how it works; a student holds a flashcard up to a webcam and images matching the words on the flashcard. The goal is to provide students with a visual reference to aid in recall. Watch the video below to see Smash Cards in action.

Modern Mac owners need to ignore the dinosaurs and get protection | ZDNet

Modern Mac owners need to ignore the dinosaurs and get protection | ZDNet | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
I can’t believe that we’re still having a discussion over whether or not the bad guys have begun targeting Mac users. I’ve one word to describe these people who choose to ignore the real problems facing the modern Mac user and instead choose to live in the past - Dinosaurs.

Times have changed. The old-guard, fervor-filled dinosaurs of the past who for some reason (ego, self esteem, ignorance …) want to frantically and fanatically cheer lead have been replaced by the modern Mac user who sees the Mac as a tool rather than an idol. What is a modern Mac user? Well, for starters I see them as someone who started using a Mac since its transition from the PowerPC architecture to Intel architecture, a move which began in mid-2006. Much of the zealotry and nonsense spouted today dates back to the PowerPC years when owning a Mac was seen by many as a deviant pastime. Times have changed.

The modern Mac user also uses their machine in a very different way to the dinosaurs of old. People nowadays surf a lot more, social media has in many ways replaced email as the preferred method of communication. Multimedia on the web has exploded. More people doing more things in ways that we couldn’t really have dreamed possible a decade ago.

Lauren Yachera's curator insight, February 19, 2014 2:08 PM

This is a really informative website that explains to readers what project based learning is. It reiterates the concepts that we have gone over thus far in EDCI397 in a simple and easy way. I especially like that there are separate pages to browse through on the right side of the page. The link, "Why PBL?" struck me. It explains that now, more than ever, students find school to be boring and pointless. We have to change this! Students are the future and we have to make sure that they play an active and engaging role in their worlds. These are definitely concepts that I will implement in my classroom.

Michelle Dubin 's curator insight, February 19, 2014 3:38 PM

This website describes what project-based learning is and reiterates the information I learned in EDCI397. It allowed me to get a better understanding of how useful project-based learning can be in a classroom and I definitely plan on using the concepts in my future classroom!

Cinzia Bruno's curator insight, February 20, 2014 8:28 AM

Here is a quick breakdown of what PBL involves.

Bringing iPods and iPads into the classroom is a great way to give students access to learning tools. However, there are so many things to keep in mind to make the devices work smoothly in the classroom. While this list of dos and don'ts mainly addresses iPod touch the same advice goes for iPod touch and iPhone.
