Social class is a powerful force in any society and affects every aspect of people’s lives, including education. Even if teachers are not aware of it, social class is operating in their classrooms. It is another form of unconscious bias. Most teachers and administrators are unaware that they hold a preference for or against a particular class. And it’s not so much that you may not like people or students from a particular class. It’s more about markers or indicators of class, like attitudes toward education, ways of speaking and dressing, the neighborhood people live in, the kind of car they drive…you get the picture. These markers are often the way that class manifests itself, the way that class is seen. It is these markers that people respond to during personal interactions, whether these interactions are on the cricket grounds, in the workplace or in the classroom. Social class is a powerful force in any society and affects every aspect of people’s lives, including education.

Los objetivos de aprendizaje son la esencia misma del proceso de Diseño Instruccional y con mucha razón: sin ellos, ¿cómo sabríamos qué contenidos y actividades incluir o integrar en nuestros cursos? Desafortunadamente (más de las veces que nos gustaría) los objetivos de aprendizaje no están claramente definidos o alineados a la necesidades de formación por lo que es difícil determinar si se han cumplido al finalizar la experiencia. ¿Qué hacer entonces? ¿Cómo establecer Objetivos de aprendizaje...pertinentes? ¡Con la guía de la Taxonomía de Bloom!

If you have spent any time looking at Twitter, Pinterest, or the Edublog-o-sphere in the last week you've probably seen plenty of references toHour of Code. Over the weekend at the Ed Tech Teacher Google Jamboree Justin Reich and I made references to Logo Writer. For people of a certain age, Logo Writer was our introduction to coding. Today we have many more ways to introduce students to programming and coding. Here are some good resources that you can use to introduce students to programming and coding.

The global increase in and prevalence of social media is stimulating interest in the utilisation of blogs for research purposes. There is, however, a significant lack of information about the manner and scope of blog use in health research. In this scoping review, we aimed to identify how blogs are being used in health research to date and whether blogging has potential as a useful qualitative tool for data collection. Our purpose was to summarize the extent, range, and nature of research activity using blogs. In our scoping review key search terms were developed and applied to selected databases with 44 relevant studies identified. Studies were examined for the inclusion of blog use in their methods and descriptions of the manner in which they were used. While blogs were used in a variety of ways, the majority of identified studies used blogs for data collection, mostly as one method within a set of data collection methods and primarily for gathering information about experiences, perceptions, and feelings. We identified themes related to the blog’s function, the health issue or topic focus, and sampling categories. Our review demonstrated that blogs have potential as a qualitative health research tool for a range of purposes, including data collection. Blogs have particular application for researchers accessing populations beyond their physical reach. Given the global commitment to research for improvements to health and health equity, this review is an essential first step to embark on future qualitative health research using blogs.

En Barcelona una red de colegios quiso acabar con la inercia y abandonó por completo la educación tradicional. Los resultados preliminares del primer año piloto han sido tan impresionantes, que ni los niños ni los profesores quieren volver atrás.

In this paper, we explore the benefits of using social media in an online educational setting, with a particular focus on the use of Facebook and Twitter by participants in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) developed to enable educators to learn about the Carpe Diem learning design process. We define social media as digital social tools and environments located outside of the provision of a formal university-provided Learning Management System. We use data collected via interviews and surveys with the MOOC participants as well as social media postings made by the participants throughout the MOOC to offer insights into how participants’ usage and perception of social media in their online learning experiences differed and why. We identified that, although some participants benefitted from social media by crediting it, for example, with networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities, others objected or refused to engage with social media, perceiving it as a waste of their time. We make recommendations for the usage of social media for educational purposes within MOOCs and formal digital learning environments.

Standing in a virtual-reality lab at the University of Maryland here, Ramani Duraiswami passed around a standard pair of headphones. Music played over them — but to the wearer, the source of the sound seemed to move around the room. As the music quieted down, it sounded as if it came from farther away. As it got louder on one side of the headset, it sounded as if it came from that side. “We’re able to perceive the world in all dimensions using our ears,” said Mr. Duraiswami, a computer-science professor and co-founder of the start-up company VisiSonics.
