Redefining the College Degree

Redefining the College Degree | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

A college degree has always been one of the main roads to professional and economic security in a knowledge-based economy. But traditional college degrees aren’t the slam-dunk success driver they once were.

What It Means To Teach

What It Means To Teach | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

Teaching means…

…to help another person understand.

…to help another person understand why something is worth understanding.

…to help another person responsibly use what they know.

…to artfully connect students and content in authentic contexts.

…to cause change.

…to cognitively agitate.

…that relationships with children are the bedrock for everything else.

…to be able to see individual faces, needs, opportunities, and affections where others see a classroom of students.

…that you should always know the difference between what you taught and what they learned.

…to model curiosity.

…that students will likely never forget you (or that one thing you said, the time you lost your temper, how you made them feel, etc.)

…to know what it actually means to “understand.”

…to create a need for students to reorganize and repack their intellectual baggage.

…to self-critique your own biases, blind spots, and other “broken perceptions”

…to make dozens of crucial decisions on the fly not per day or class but per minute.

…that you’re going to be needed every second of every day in some important way.

…to adjust the timing, general ‘form’, and complexity of a given content so that it seems ‘just in time, just enough, and just for me’ for each student.

…to help students play with complex ideas in pursuit of self-knowledge and personal change.

…to be able to create an awesome lesson plan and unit–and to know when and why to ditch that plan and unit.

…to know the difference between teaching content and teaching thought.

…that you need to know your content well enough to teach any concept, skill, or standard within it 20+ different ways.

…that you’re going to work closely with people that will think differently than you, and learning to bridge those gaps with diplomacy could make or break your happiness

…to help students transfer understanding of academic content to authentic circumstances.

…to accept certain failure.

…to be a lifelong learner yourself.

…to disrupt social imbalances, inequities, and knowledge and skill gaps

…to confront your own weaknesses (technology, pedagogy, content, collaboration, organization, communication, etc.)

…to really, truly change the world (for the better or the worse).

…that you’re going to need a lot of help from everyone.

…to operate under unclear terms for success.

…to explain, model, and connect.

…to change, change, change.

…that in terms of sheer mathematical probability, you’re not going to be teaching for more than five years (if you’ve already passed that, congratulations!)

…that your ‘comfort zone’ no longer matters.

…your teaching program probably didn’t prepare you well (e.g., your ability to empathize and engage and design are more important than anything else you learned in said program).

…to practice humility.

It would be nice if every and each teacher added one own thought to the list.

There are custom-made smoothies, all-day breakfasts, make-your-own waffles, and frozen yogurt, along with countless choices of entrees hovered over by white-jacketed chefs. Sun pours in through windows overlooking the leafy, manicured campus …

STEM Concept Videos | MIT Teaching and Learning Laboratory

The STEM Concept Videos, produced by the Teaching and Learning Laboratory, are designed to help students learn pivotal concepts in science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics (STEM).  Each video is part of a series that represents a cross-cutting theme in the courses that typically appear in first- and second-year engineering curricula (i.e., physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology). The STEM Concept Videos were originally produced for and funded by the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).  SUTD refers to these videos as Concept Vignettes.

3 Ways E-Learning Is Changing in 2016

As we come to the end of the year, we look forward to what 2016 holds. The past year was productive and innovative, to be sure, but e-learning continues to grow as a viable solution for corporate learning, and neurolearning is progressing as a science and study.   A few areas are especially promising for 2016, particularly when attitudes come into play. As forward-thinking and influential companies implement the best learning techniques, a wave of early adopters will take e-learning to the next level. Here . . .

It's not about the device, it's about what you do with it

It's not about the device, it's about what you do with it | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Education technology devices have become symbolic of the efforts to transform US education through blended and personalized learning--and desktops, laptops, and tablets are quickly becoming ubiquitous in education.

Devices are crucial as a conduit for content; however, they do not directly improve learning outcomes.

These tangible examples are, with the exception of few dazzling products, nearly indistinguishable. When we are shown images of technology enhancing education, it is rarely a picture of particular software or data systems--it is a student with a device.

Devices are crucial as a conduit for content; however, they do not directly improve learning outcomes.

John Hattie, an expert education researcher, conducted a meta-analysis of over 500,000 studies on student achievement. The chart below is an excerpt of the top ten influencers from Hattie’s study, accompanied by a relative interpretation of the data for education technology.

10 note-worthy tools every Instructional Designer should bookmark now | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Finding a tool that makes your job as an instructional designer even a little easier is kind of like finding fairy dust to sprinkle over your projects. Bibbity bobbity done! That’s how it feels, so why is it so hard to remember to save these tools for future use? I cannot count how many times I have found a great app only to draw a blank as to what was it called or how to found it when I need it again.

Here I present to you some of our favorite bookmarked websites and tools to make our eLearning design job easier. Save them all or just bookmark this article for all future eLearning design magic.

Los materiales impresos tienen mayores costes y tiempos de producción y actualización. El soporte digital es multimedial, ahorra costes de publicación y permite más fácilmente la actualización continua y colectiva. Por otra parte, ya sabemos que Internet proporciona un inmenso banco de materiales y fuentes de información que pueden resultar de ayuda en el aula para el aprendizaje de las diversas materias. Para poder utilizarlos, es necesario que sean abiertos, que tengan una licencia que permita su uso (Creative Commons). Los Open Educational Resources (OER), concepto originalmente acuñado en 2002 durante un Foro de UNESCO sobre Open Courseware (OCW), tienen como propósito la provisión, a través de Internet, de recursos educativos para consulta, uso y adaptación de forma libre y abierta. Esto se ha convertido en asunto de interés de instituciones educativas que han emprendido diferentes iniciativas de acceso abierto potenciadas con el uso de tecnologías emergentes de Web social, Web semántica y de datos, plataformas de aprendizaje con medios electrónicos y editores de objetos educativos en diversos formatos (IMS, SCORM, xAPI…) que facilitan su creación y distribución. La cantidad de materiales abiertos existentes es abrumadora. El trabajo de selección y adaptación al currículo es algo que podemos hacer en colaboración utilizando los nuevos medios sociales, compartiendo recursos y experiencia, marcando y comentando aquello que consideramos más útil. La lengua inglesa predomina en los directorios internacionales de REA. Son una fuente inagotable de recursos para currículos bilingües y proyectos lingüísticos de centro. Comentamos brevemente 7 directorios a continuación:

It's that time of year for those of us on the semester block system - end of course content state exams loom large and student stress is at an all time high. The longer I teach in this environment, the more I see how these tests push teachers to provide packet after packet for review. The stakes are so high for everyone - and teachers are afraid they missed something.
