“ Editor’s Note: This paper is released in conjunction with the event Mobile Learning: Transforming Education and Engaging Students and Teachers hosted by the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings on September 17, 2013. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES PAST EVENT Mobile Learning: Transforming Education and Engaging Students and Teachers September 17, 2013 Education in the United States Education is at a critical juncture in the United States. It is vital for workforce development and economic prosperity, yet is in need of serious reform. American education was designed for agrarian and industrial eras, and does not provide all the skills needed for a 21st century economy.[i] This creates major problems for young people about to enter the laborforce. Mobile learning represents a way to address a number of our educational problems. Devices such as smart phones and tablets enable innovation and help students, teachers, and parents gain access to digital content and personalized assessment vital for a post-industrial world. Mobile devices, used in conjunction with near universal 4G/3G wireless connectivity, are essential tools to improve learning for students. As noted by Irwin Jacobs, the founding chairman of Qualcomm, Inc., “always on, always connected mobile devices in the hands of students has the potential to dramatically improve educational outcomes.”[ii] ”This paper, part of our Mobile Economy Project, looks at ways that mobile devices with cellular connectivity improve learning and engage students and teachers. Wireless technology is a way to provide new content and facilitate information access wherever a student is located. It enables, empowers, and engages learning in ways that transform the learning environment for students inside and outside of school. Read more

"One of the components of Close Reading is annotation, in which the students read short, complex text adding annotations as they read. Students might circle words or phrases that are powerful, underline those that are confusing, indicate big events or when a character shows strong emotion, and write questions or thoughts. They use metacognitive markers or “Thinking Notes” as a means to move beyond just highlighting..."

"Not long ago, a teacher had nothing more to rely on than knowledge, textbooks and a few markers. Technology has slowly changed that in the past few years, with the Internet, multimedia programs and computers increasing their presence in the classroom. But with the rise of tablet tech, the student-teacher experience is facing a subtle revolution: joining the trend makes students feel as if they’re part of an environment that’s desirable because people speak their native languages. As the iPad becomes a teaching tool, classrooms are transformed into contemporary settings."

Les tips de Scoop.it #3 - Donnez de l'impact à vos scoops
Comme l'a dit Gary Vaynerchuk "if Content is King, then Context is God". C'est ce que vos pages Scoop.it doivent refléter si vous viser le développement de votre réputation ou si vous cherchez à obtenir des ondes positives pour votre marque. Rendre vos scoops plus attirants visuellement permettra de les rendre plus attractifs pour vos lecteurs, et donc plus impactants.
La bonne nouvelle est que vous pouvez formater et éditer vos posts dans Scoop.it :-)
Lorsque vous scoopez un article, vous avez accès à des fonctionnalités d'édition, que je ne saurai que vous conseiller d'utiliser systématiquement.
- Ajouter du Contexte : Pourquoi votre audience lirait-elle cet article ? Quelle relation a-t-il avec vos autres scoops ? Démontrez les relations entre les contenus que vous avez scoopés, donnez votre avis ou votre réflexion sur le sujet.
=> Le champ "Insights" est fait pour cela ! Vos lecteurs verront de suite votre expertise si vous ajoutez systématiquement de la valeur aux contenus que vous partagez.
- Travailler ses titres : Le titre choisi par l'auteur ne vous parait pas opportun : n'hésitez pas à le modifier pour que votre scoop soit plus attractif et incite plus vos lecteurs à aller parcourir l'article original. Vous êtes un passeur d'informations, si vous estimez que le titre peut être améliorer, n'hésitez pas à le faire ; l'auteur ne vous en tiendra pas rigueur : vous lui apportez du trafic, en y ajoutant votre oeil.
=> Cliquez directement sur le titre lorsque vous êtes en mode "édition" pour le modifier.
- Améliorer l'apparence de ses scoops : Avec Scoop.it, en un rien de temps vous pouvez agrandir une image, en choisir une autre, pour illustrer encore mieux les propos du contenu. N'hésitez pas non plus à modifier le court extrait choisi par défaut : peut-être que celui-ci n'illustre pas au mieux le contenu de l'article.
=> Lorsque vous êtes sur votre scoop, cliquez sur l'icône "crayon" qui se trouve au niveau des titres, des images, pour faire apparaitre toutes les options de formatage ou d'édition.
- Epingler un article en haut de son topic : Si vous pensez qu'un édito est pertinent pour vous présenter, ou présenter votre marque, ou encore qu'il est fondamental que vos lecteurs connaissent un article phare de votre domaine, n'hésitez pas à l'épingler en haut à gauche de votre topic.
=> Il suffit d'utiliser la fonctionnalité "star it" dans la toolbar du scoop.
Enfin, si vous êtes un utilisateur premium de Scoop.it, usez et abusez des fonctionnalités de customisation de vos topics afin d'y rajouter le contexte de votre marque, et de pouvoir créer des ponts entre votre contenu et votre site web, vos réseaux sociaux et donner une cohérence globale à votre communication.
Pour inspiration, voici quelques exemples intéressants de customisation.
