A framework for creating wildly engaging lessons - Ditch That Textbook

A framework for creating wildly engaging lessons - Ditch That Textbook | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

As a teacher, I’ve always been looking for that secret sauce for creating lessons that students love.

You know, those lessons that they’ll think of and talk about long after the bell rings. Those special lessons that help them remember a tricky concept they might not get otherwise.

In my years of teaching, I’ve found that my secret sauce comes down to five main ingredients:

     * Different
     * Innovative
     * Tech-laden
     * Creative
     * Hands-on


This framework is the basis of my own teaching and of my book, “Ditch That Textbook.” And it’s probably no surprise that it’s an acronym, spelling the word “ditch,” right?

Session 65: What is the educational value of blogs, wikis and class/school websites?

Session 65: What is the educational value of blogs, wikis and class/school websites? | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it


Session Summary: 

Wow… what a fast and furious end to September as the #ukedchat masses discussed all things bloggery!


There are a number of key #ukedchat contributors who have long advocated blogging as a tool for good. In this week’s discussion, they had a chance to convert the rest of us… and believe me, I think it worked!

People spoke overwhelmingly positively about the potential for blogs to offer pupils an audience for their writing, however it soon became clear that blogs can be used in so many different ways and have many different purposes and goals.


We discussed safety and workload concerns, how to use blogs to promote literacy and parental engagement and how blogging can improve pupils’ self-esteem. The doubters (of which I suppose I was one, having not really yet embraced blogging as a class tool…) were very quickly silenced as more and more educators tweeted about the positive impact blogging has had.


I can honestly say that this week’s #ukedchat discussion has given me so much inspiration. In fact, I’m now working on a plan to change my KS3 writers club into a blogging club!

4 internal communications tools that replace email

4 internal communications tools that replace email | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
Today, with all the internal communication tools available to a workforce, emailing seems almost primitive. Though many organizations still use email, most are trying to reduce the number of emails sent in favor of a simpler, more efficient form of internal communication. Employees are relying more on intranets or enterprise social networks.

Rio Rancho Public Schools has eliminated routine "all staff" emails, such as weekly school bulletin updates, by posting such important news on the intranet. (Here's the RRPS case study.)

Though you might not be ready to eliminate every "all staff" email and all one-on-one emails, you can improve internal communications with these powerful tools:

How Teachers Can Use Quicktime Video Screenshots to Help Students Learn | Edudemic | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
Tutorial videos are a great way for teachers to provide extra learning resources for students. With these recorded videos, students are able to review the lessons learned in class and catch up from afar during an absence. Videos also provide an excellent resource for future reference.

Screenshot videos are a great learning resource when used to teach computer-based lessons such as computer programming, typing, or learning various programs. But they can also be used in other creative ways to teach students. For example, math problems can be solved step-by-step. Screenshots are especially useful for complicated new concepts.

In this article, we go into detail with step-by-step instructions for how to record video screenshots, as well as how to upload them to video hosting websites.

Opportunities and Threats of the MOOC Movement for Higher Ed: The European Perspective

Opportunities and Threats of the MOOC Movement for Higher Ed: The European Perspective | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it

"The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) movement is the latest “big thing” in Open and Distance Learning (ODL). MOOCs offer both opportunities and threats that are extensively discussed in the literature, including the potential of opening up education for all at a global scale. On the other hand, MOOCs challenge traditional pedagogy and raise important questions about the future of campus-based education. However, in discussing these opportunities and threats the majority of the literature tends to focus on the origin of the MOOC movement in the United States (US). The specific context of Europe with its diversity of languages, cultural environments, educational policies, and regulatory frameworks differs substantially from the US context."
