From peeragogy.org - April 23, 2013 11:32 AM

This book presents a range of techniques that self-motivated learners can use to connect with each other and develop stronger communities and collaborations. The book is addressed to everyone who is interested in how learning works, whether you’re an educator, a hobbyist, an artist, a home-school student, an employee, a parent, an activist, an archivist, a mathematician, or a tennis player.  The book was written by a bunch of people who think learning is cool.

From www.fastcompany.com - November 20, 10:25 AM

"AI has a writing style, or, at least, an alleged style. Tools like ChatGPT and Claude seem to communicate with a tendency toward formalism. The chatbots are earnest, sometimes too evenhanded or overly complimentary. There’s a noticeable lack of personal flair, and no deeply held opinions."

The AI Teammate: Three Roles to Build #Student #AI #Fluency

The AI Teammate: Three Roles to Build #Student #AI #Fluency | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
From www.facultyfocus.com - November 16, 11:00 PM
Discover three AI teammate roles—Tasker, Draftsmith, and Facilitator—to help students build AI fluency and apply responsible use in learning.

 

"Design assignments that invite different roles. For example, ask students to begin with AI as a Tasker (perhaps organizing sources or cleaning a dataset), then shift to using the Draftsmith to help them find passive voice or other syntax issues in a paper, and finally draw on the Facilitator to find the holes in their arguments before submitting a final paper. Intentionally stating the role each assignment calls for and requiring them to state when they’re using the Tasker, Draftsmith, or Facilitator solidifies their understanding that their approach to AI differs by role.

 


Be clear about where AI helps and where it doesn’t. AI can help with structure, suggestions, and ideation, but it cannot replace revision, critical thinking, or the development of one’s own voice. This must be intentionally taught by including questions requiring students to reflect on what worked and where the AI led them astray in any assignments allowing AI use.

 


Encourage disclosure. I talk extensively about “Total AI Transparency”, ensuring students that I will note any use of AI in my communications with them and I expect the same from them. Trust has broken down as both students and instructors believe the other is using AI when they’re not and failing to recognize when they are. Owning up to my own use and being clear on why I used AI for that task encourages students to do the same."

Top 10 Reasons to Use Technology in Education: iPad, Tablet, Computer, Listening Centers

From www.youtube.com - October 31, 2011 4:15 PM
Tweet this video! http://clicktotweet.com/DeuKj
http://www.ampli.com/
Please like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/AmplivoxPortableSoundSystemsandLecterns
For the Article in Print, visit http://blog.ampli.com/2011/11/integrating-new-technology-in-classroom.html

While there are some nay-sayers who bring up some negative effects of technology on education in the classrooms, mainly budgetary reasons, using new technologies is the future of the education system.
The following reasons should silence the nay-sayer and help them heed the wisdom from Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach,
"Teachers will not be replaced by technology, but teachers who don't use technology will be replaced by those who do.".

Teachers are finding that using different classroom technologies like tablet computers, digital video, iPods, and video games are great tools for helping students learn.

Kindle ereader nook
1. Students love it. Students love using new technologies in the classroom. Whether it be the "cool" factor or just a genuine interest in new technology, it allows teachers to vary activities of the day and engage students. There is no commandment for education that says,
"THOU SHALT NOT HAVE FUN"
Students spend hours using technology like computers and television when they get home from school--why not engage them through their favorite mediums?
2. It engages the Four Key Components to Learning. Click on the link to read how technology in education (specifically the iPod School Listening Center) engages the 4 key components to learning.
3. Professional Development. Using new technologies allow students to learn another skill set that will help them in the marketplace. How many jobs need basic computing skills let alone advanced computing skills? Any time a teacher can encourage students to learn through technology, they kill two birds with one stone.
The tech industry is only getting bigger--encourage your students to know and understand technology so they can be the tech leaders of the future!
With the power of the internet, knowing how to use a simple piece of technology can turn an aspiring singer into Justin Bieber (whose mom uploaded videos of him singing which led to his fame) and a hilarious prankster into YouTube Star EdBassmaster, who recently used an AmpliVox Sound Cruiser PA System in a video (that is approaching 1,000,000 views!). EdBassMaster "Look at This" Video with Sound Cruiser
4. Makes Life Easier for Teachers. Teachers have to juggle a variety of tasks outside of teaching including planning lessons, grading, meeting with parents, and some administrative work. Why not help yourself out and put objective tests online so that students can instantly see their grades instead of spending valuable time grading?

5. It Improves Test Scores. A benefit of engaging students through technology and media is allowing them to work at their own pace and not be held back by students who learn at a slower rate. This can allow gifted students to progress several grades ahead of their peers over the course of a year. Another proof of improved test scores comes from reaching different learning styles through the use of technology. The use of electronic drilling in education can help students learn quickly and provide incentives like games for them to keep progressing. Nobody does this better than Khan Academy.
6. Helps Students with Low Attention Spans. Students with ADD or ADHD can be aided through the use of technology by mixing up the learning process with different methods and through providing them engaging activities to keep their interest. Technology is a favorite among teachers who teach in ESL classrooms or special education settings.
Even the best teachers can have their moments or topics when they are like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off or Charlie Brown's Teacher in the eyes of their students. Using technology keeps students awake and their attention level high. How hard is it for you to fall asleep while on the internet compared to hearing a lecture?
7. Learn from the Experts. With the an increasing amount of free resources available on the internet, you can engage your students with content from the smartest and best teachers in the world

AmpliVox Sound Systems manufactures and sells portable sound systems along with lecterns and podiums with built-in sound systems that are perfect for classrooms. The Pinnacle Multimedia Lectern and iPod Portable PA System are great products for school settings that have a variety of uses both indoor and outdoors.

This video applies for kindergarten, pre kindergarten, elementary school (first, second, third, fourth, fifth grades), junior high or middle school, high school and at the college/university level. These tips are great for reading help, grammar, math, science, nursing, computers, classroom management
