Smartphones in the classroom: a teacher's dream or nightmare? - CBC

Smartphones in the classroom: a teacher's dream or nightmare?   - CBC | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
When students return to class this fall, a majority of them will be toting something that teachers themselves are still learning to deal with: a mobile device.

Whether it's a smartphone, tablet or laptop, survey after survey shows more and more — and younger and younger — schoolchildren have their own computing devices and are taking them to class.

A report last year found that just among Grade 4 students, 25 per cent had a cellphone; for high school students, close to 90 per cent have smartphones.

Smarta mobiler i klassrummet: lärarens dröm eller mardröm??

I artikeln nämns att ca 25% av de Kanadensiska eleverna i fjärde klass har en mobil. Detta kan jämföras med att ca 86 % av eleverna i åldern 9-12 har egen mobil i Sverige och av dem är 78 % smarta mobiler.

How 7 Top Influencers Share Great Content on Twitter

How 7 Top Influencers Share Great Content on Twitter | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
The digital battle is on!


Content competition is fierce. One billion websites, two billion plus social media users and 3 billion plus mobile owners. So you need to break through the clutter not only on desktop but on smart phones. But build it and they will come is not an option.


Content marketing is two words.
So you not only have to create great content. But you have to build distribution networks for that content and then hustle it to the world on social, email and search engines. It needs persistent focused effort. That’s marketing.

4 Tips for Having Students Take Notes in Google Docs ^ Teacher Tech ^ by Alice Keeler | Distance Learning, mLearning, Digital Education, Technology | Scoop.it
If you are having students take notes in a Google Doc, in particular if those notes require diagrams, consider providing the students with a Google Doc that contains graphic organizers. I am not advocating for fill in the blank type notes where the students fill in a word from the notes being projected. Instead, provide a structured Google Document that contains graphic organizers to save students time from having to draw the charts. Provide students the tools they will need for taking the notes.

When using advanced eLearning authoring tools we are sometimes tempted to follow a mechanistic approach to designing feedback. It is easy to use templates or just to copy and paste automatic feedback comments in quizzes. 

 

However, we should remember that proper feedback can be a very influential mechanism with an ability to improve people’s competencies. To use the full power and potential of feedback in eLearning we need to spend much more time on designing it and just forget about doing simplified work on it.
