A few years ago, I recall walking past the door of our school makerspace and noticing a crowd of kids surrounding a table. Inside a group of 5th and 6th graders were hovering around someone, listening intently to directions. As I inched closer I heard the quiet voice of a parent demonstrating how to do several hand stitches. The mom, a PTA regular and all-around super volunteer, was showing our students some basics in sewing. Both boys and girls watched as she shared tips and tricks. Soon the students dispersed and moved back to their workspaces around the room working on their pillows, shirts, purses, and other sewing projects.
The parent volunteered an hour each Tuesday around lunchtime to work with our students during our “open studio” time. She served as a facilitator and mentor to young makers in our elementary school for several years. The connection that she made with students helped to demonstrate the link between hands-on learning and its purpose in the real world, as well as the value that parents and community bring to the school setting. This type of active parent involvement is one effective way to begin building a network of creativity and innovation in your school

Unless you work in a Waldorf school where smartphones are banned, chances are you’ve seen your students video chat with friends when their time might be better spent working on homework. Video chat can, however, support classroom learning. It’s not impossible.Video technology has changed quite a bit

Ninety-one percent of respondents to a recent CDE survey agreed active learning better prepares students for college and careers than traditional education frameworks. So why is it that it’s more common to see rows of desks facing the front of the room instead of workspaces designed for collaboration and exploration in today’s classrooms? Unfortunately, students can often lack the communication, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills they will need in their careers when they graduate. This paper helps school districts change that outcome. It discusses the benefits and challenges of active learning and offers real-life examples and strategies to help districts make their learning environments more engaging and collaborative.

There are five ways in which gifted students tend to learn differently from their peers:
1. They learn new material much more quickly.
2. They have a better ability to remember what they have learned, which reduces or eliminates the need for review.
3. They have ability for abstract or complex thinking that their peers do not have.
4. They become focused on specific topics and are very passionate about them to the exclusion of other topics and subjects.
5. They can take in many stimuli at once, knowing what is going on around them while concentrating on a specific task.
Using these characteristics as a guideline, approximately 6%, or 3 million, students in the United States may be classified as gifted. Although there is little argument that gifted and talented students must be provided with challenges that meet their academic needs, no federal regulations specifically mandate special services for G and T learners.

Mais que représente cette notion qui prend de plus en plus de place dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) ? L’annonce d’une série « Humanités …

In the age of blended classrooms and digital learning, the popularity of student portfolios has exponentially increased. Digital student portfolios can continue to be used for their original purpose of highlighting work that the teacher or student is particularly proud. Parents will no longer have to take up closet space or secretly dispose of paper…

On peut disserter longtemps sur les vertus supposées des programmes ou des dispositifs de formation post-scolaires, dont les ingrédients théoriques sont connus depuis des décennies, mais la réalité a la vie dure : l 'efficacité de la formation professionnelle repose essentiellement sur la qualité et les compétences des formateurs. C'est d'ailleurs sur ces éléments qu'il est nécessaire de se pencher régulièrement pour analyser la façon dont les dispositifs de formation contribuent à les réunir ou, au contraire, à les affaiblir.

This summer, Apple will introduce an addition to its usual Apple Camp program: a coding course for children ages 8 to 12.
Besides its usual interactive storytelling and iMovie classes, kids will have the option to enroll in Coding Games and Programming Robots. The class will use Tynker's software to teach the basics of coding using blocks that can animate characters and move robots. In May, Tynker raised $7.1 million in funding.

En marge de l’ICT4ALL, une première édition du TEDuX « Pratiques pédagogiques innovantes » a été organisée en Tunisie en 2015. Elle a rencontré un franc succès avec plus de 300 participants. L’IFIC, l'AUF BMO et l’université de Senghor ont alors décidé d’organiser une 2e édition du TEDuX. Cet événement s’est déroulé le 26 mai 2016 au Caire en marge du salon E-learning Africa. Durant 1h30, 4 intervenants ont témoigné sur différents thèmes : de l’animation de communautés en ligne, l’apport de la robotique ou des neurosciences, en passant par l’impact du numérique et des espaces d’apprentissages, jusqu’à l’accompagnement institutionnel. Les retours d’expériences et les conditions favorisant l’émergence de pratiques pédagogiques innovantes ont constitué le fil rouge des quatre interventions. La suite de cet article détaillera le contenu de ce TEDuX-Caire.
