This is a really interesting development, following on from the "Granny Cloud" experiment. The idea of self-directed learning is obviously not new, but the way of using technology to bring together groups of learners for different purposes is extremely thought-provoking. Thanks, Nik Peachey, for the link.

Discussions are sometimes called the engine of an online course. Discussions provide an opportunity for students to engage with the course content, with each other, and with you—the professor—simultaneously, which means they have a lot of potential for meaningful learning and high retention.

"A directory of tools for verifying, fact checking and assessing the validity of social media and user generated content." As students become more and more dependent on the internet to provide them resources for learning, this could be a great tool to help them recognize what's legitimate.

Quizzes are incredibly useful. As are classroom polls. They help you do real-time assessment of learning. The key to making the quiz (and not just the topic at hand) effective is the bigger issue. A great way to do that is to use a high-powered teacher tool like Socrative (my personal favorite), Twitpoll, or Poll Everywhere. Via Jim Lerman

We believe that one of the most important challenges educators face today is to prepare kids for the world that awaits them after they leave the classroom -- those "21st century skills" you keep hearing about.

I’m sure you have all heard some version of the Benjamin Franklin quote above. With today’s students, living in a fast paced world, this quote is something to keep in the back of your mind when crafting engaging lessons. If there is any way to get students truly engrossed in their learning and reflecting on what they learned, you will see much better results with engagement and retention.

while studying my Bachelor of Education I have quickly learnt how important it is for Teachers to keep students engaged and willing participants in their learning. Today's students are growing up in a technology rich environment, therefore it is expected that they leave school with high computer literacy. How as teachers can we achieve this? This shows ways of including technology in the classroom without removing the importance of learning and the curriculum. |
