Pinterest, Educanvas, LiveBinders, Storybird, VoiceThread: heard of 'em all, tried none of them.  But I like the idea that technology should be neither add-on nor main event.

Des appli Web 2 intéressantes. A creuser!

This article presents and discusses a range of Web 2.0 tools and how they can be used and the benefits of incorporating them into the curriculum. It also has a great video on how one teacher uses free Web 2.0 tools in her classroom. 

Très intéressante démonstration de la mise en réussite ou en échec d'un groupe d'apprenants par un enchaînement de réussites ou d’échecs, de quoi faire réfléchir tout pédagogue sur les activités qu'il propose !

Pour les enfants

As educators one would expect that teachers and teacher/administrators should be experts on the best most effective and efficient methods of getting large groups of children to 

understand, learn, and use information responsibly to create more information. Theoretically, these educators have an understanding of pedagogy and methodology in order to accomplish these goals. I firmly believe most educators have these very skills to accomplish this with kids.

A question that haunts me however, at almost any education conference that I attend is: Why are so many (not all) of these educators, who are so skilled in a classroom of kids, so bad at teaching in a room full of adults for professional development?

According to an article, “Adult Learning Theory and Principles” from The Clinical Educator’s Resource Kit, Malcolm Knowles, an American practitioner and theorist of adult education, defined andragogy as “the art and science of helping adults learn”.

Knowles identified the six principles of adult learning as:

• Adults are internally motivated and self-directed
• Adults bring life experiences and knowledge to learning experiences
• Adults are goal oriented
• Adults are relevancy oriented
• Adults are practical
• Adult learners like to be respected

This article raises an important question. Why do many educators struggle with engagement and metacognition when presenting to peers? As I read the article, I had my own question. Could we be so pumped to share knowledge that we forget that engagement matters or is it that we really fail to apply the strategies we know and love with our colleagues? I have no answers but I invite reflection and comments
