A collection of some very good iPad apps for creating educational movie slideshows with students. You can use your selected photos, add a video and/or a soundtrack and mix all together in a beautiful and engaging slideshow. While features provided differ from one app to the other, most of these apps let you use existing photos and videos to create animated slideshows.

¿Recuerdas a tu profesor más horrible? ¿Y tu peor jefe? Probablemente todavía puedes oír sus palabras en tu cabeza.Tengo recuerdos muy vívidos de mi maestra de sexto grado, la cual no voy a nombrar, mirándome por encima de sus gafas, poniéndome los ojos encima y pronunciando su conocido refrán, “¡Daniel Durán quédate quieto, Te lo he dicho mil veces y guarda silencio que no me interesa lo que tienes que decir!”.

Hace unos días me hicieron una entrevista en una Radio Canaria (Radio ECCA, Fundación Canaria) sobre el modelo Flipped Classroom (o Learning) y ahora os la ofrezco en este podcast. Otra manera de compartir contenidos que bien se puede utilizar en la clase, o en "las tareas de casa", siguiendo el modelo que explico. A este podcast se le podrían adjuntar unas preguntas, por ejemplo, para que el alumno respondiera o formulase otras nuevas y ya tendríamos una tarea para discutir y profundizar mañana en la clase. Todo menos ir a clase " a ver que nos cuentan". ¡Más actividad y menos pasividad, tanto en los alumnos como en los profesores!

When one of the first massive open online courses appeared at Stanford University, 160,000 students enrolled. It was 2011, and fewer than 10 MOOCs existed worldwide. It has been four years since then, and according to a new report, the cumulative number of MOOCs has reached nearly 4,000. Compiled earlier this month by Dhawal Shah, founder of the MOOC aggregator Class Central, the report summarizes data on MOOCs from the past four years. And the data show that even as the MOOC hype has started to die down, interest hasn’t tapered off.

La red de redes es una oferta vastísima de material informativo de primer nivel junto a refritos y copias de copias, que extravían al cibernauta que procura rastrear un tema.

When we shift from covering content to using content, curriculum design becomes less about what to teach and more a matter of how to facilitate learning.

We believe that educational opportunities should be available to all learners. Creating an open education ecosystem involves making learning materials, data, and educational opportunities available without restrictions imposed by copyright laws, access barriers, or exclusive proprietary systems that lack interoperability and limit the free exchange of information.

La eficacia de la comunicación depende de la capacidad de los interlocutores para comprender los rasgos de su personalidad respectiva. En numerosas situaciones, dos interlocutores de la misma cultura, que hablan el mismo idioma y comparten el mismo objetivo, no consiguen entenderse o, peor aún, llegan al enfrentamiento.

We criticize students for their surface learning approaches and yet I see a lot of surface learning when it comes to our teaching practices.

In this series, I’ve looked at a lot of newcomer-friendly tools for making games in the classroom or as projects with and for students, including Twine, Scratch, Construct 2, inklewriter, Inform 7, and Adventure Game Studio. While some of these tools are successfully cross-platform, many of the best tools for making graphical games are PC-only. This year, I’m teaching an online course that includes game development as part of exploring digital narrative. As students aren’t meeting in a university lab, they can use either a Mac or a PC to participate in the class. To accommodate both platforms I looked for a tool that would work equally well on either platform: the one I settled on is Stencyl, a game design platform that has been around for four years and was primarily known as a Flash development tool. It has evolved to support HTML5 (with some limitations), Android, and iOS.
