Speaker: Boomers need to build bridge to Generation Y. But there are challenges in these two generations working together and developing an organizational culture that appeals to members of Gen Y and develops their talents, according to Dr. Gustavo Grodnitzky, a clinical psychologist and organizational consultant in Winston-Salem. Grodnitzky spoke on “Four Generations: Workforce Survival” at the 2010 Business Leaders Forum on Thursday sponsored by the Lexington and Thomasville Area Chambers of Commerce, Smart Start, Focus on Leadership and Thomasville Medical Center. More than 100 business people and educators attended the seminar held in the fellowship hall of First Baptist Church on West Third Avenue.
Grodnitzky said generations are defined by their shared experiences. To give some context to his presentation, he outlined the four generations as follows: G.I. Grodnitzky noted the G.I. But Generation Y, primarily the children of boomers, reject the mindset of parents who define themselves by their jobs, Grodnitzky said. 4th HELIOS thematic report: Is e-Learning contributing to internationalisation of education and training?

Hace unas semanas dedicamos un artículo a un estudio sobre el estado de los blogs y sobre quiénes eran los famosos blogueros que son cada vez más numerosos en todo el mundo, pero que aún no son tan conocidos por millones de personas que todavía no comprenden del todo el fenómeno y se preguntan ¿qué es un blog? ¿Para qué las personas escriben un blog? En esta ocasión mencionaremos la segunda parte de ese estudio, llamado “State of the Blogosphere 2009” (Estado de la blogósfera 2009), en la que el enfoque es más hacia la parte de la motivación de los blogueros, sus características, sus medidas de éxito, los temas que tocan y cómo influyen las condiciones externas de la situación mundial en el trabajo de los blogs.
Expanding On The Nine Events Of Instruction. Sharebar Learning and instructional theories are the framework of Instructional Design. We rely on these theories to make design decisions that help us predict what will happen during a learning experience. That’s why I like to go back and review some of the classic learning theories, because when you understand them well, you feel the freedom to create new approaches that work in your current context. So on one recent wild night, when I was browsing through Smith and Ragan’s textbook, Instructional Design, I came across a different and expanded version of Gagne’s Events of Instruction.
Background In case you missed out on this theory, the Events of Instruction were proposed by Educational Psychologist, Robert Gagne. Gagne’s Events of Instruction form a compelling foundation for Instructional Design, however, there is the sense that the learner is somewhat passive. Learner-generated Version The column on the left captures the internal processes of learning, according to Gagne. Assessing Student Work in the Open Educational Resources Era. Complexity: The new world between chance and choice. Complexity. The new world between chance and choice April 10, 2010 Nonlinear dynamics are concerned with messy systems. Examples for these systems are the human brain, the evolution of life itself and the weather. Chaos theory explains how the parameters in the equations cause patterns in time. Never the same but always recognizable The strange thing with a strange attractor is that the ongoing movement is never the same but always recognizable.
The weather is normally used as an example of a system that displays this pattern. The smallest overlooked variable or the most minute change can escalate up by non-linear iterations into a major transformative change in the later life of the system. Classical physics took individual entities and their movement (trajectories) as the unit of analysis. Every interaction of any particles is thus potentially meaningful and can lead to amplification of the slightest variation.

By Trent Batson04/07/10 We’ve known for decades, long before portfolios became electronic portfolios, that portfolio practices in the right teacherly hands and in the right syllabus structure seem to improve student engagement and learning. Now, after a brief, five-year detour into irrational database exuberance when electronic portfolio systems became, mostly, tools for institutional re-accreditation and accountability, electronic portfolios are back at the center of consideration for re-architecting teaching and learning on a number of campuses in the United States and around the world. ePortfolio systems and associated portfolio practices finally are on track to become the centerpiece of educational transformation they always seemed destined to be.
Many signs now point to a sudden explosion of electronic portfolio planning, adoption, and rapid market expansion. Many indicators support our impression that academia has re-embraced portfolios. Gestión del Conocimiento. En la mesa de la profesora hay unos libros, unos cuadernos y dos vasos de grueso vidrio verdoso con unas florecitas silvestres amarillas, rojas y de color lila. La maestra, que acompaña al viajero en su visita a la escuela, es una chica joven y mona, con cierto aire de ciudad, que lleva los labios pintados y viste un traje de cretona muy bonito. Habla de pedagogía y dice al viajero que los niños de Casasana son buenos y aplicados y muy listos.

Federal stimulus dollars are nearly doubling the amount of technological devices in classrooms in the Abilene Independent School District this year, and teachers are logging long hours as they figure out how to use their new high-tech tools.
Grants allow some high school teachers to get technology training stipends, but many district elementary teachers are flocking to workshops and brainstorming sessions — with no financial impetus at all.

Conclusión. Creating a Culture of Collaboration Through Technology Integration by Kim Cofino. 0 Comments March 21, 2010 By: Tech Learning Blog Staff Mar 21 Written by: 3/21/2010 8:17 AM ShareThis Cross-posted on always learning Last week, Chrissy and I were invited to give our presentation from ASB Unplugged, Hardware is Not Enough: The Teacher-Facilitator Partnership, to our Headmaster, Dr. Bill Gerritz, and Deputy Headmaster, Andy Davies. Here's what I have so far for the article, I would love to get your feedback before I send a finished draft off to Bill: Creating a Culture of Collaboration Through Technology Integration For many years technology was treated as a discrete subject to be taught by a technology teacher. Now the expectation is that classroom teachers will authentically and appropriately embed technology into the learning experience. Why Collaborate? The most important (and most obvious) reason for the facilitator and teacher to collaborate is to improve student learning.
Who Does What? Teacher: the primary focus of the teacher is, of course, on teaching and learning. Transformational? by Bob Sprankle. 0 Comments March 25, 2010 By: Bob Sprankle Mar 24 Written by: 3/24/2010 9:17 PM ShareThis I remember the day I bought my first Beatles album: Magical Mystery Tour. Freedictionary.com defines "transformational" as: A marked change, as in appearance or character, usually for the better.
When talking about technology integration in education, surely one of the requirements for a tool to be considered transformational is that it must make the learning environment better... better than what previously existed because of the technology. Sometimes it's hard to tell if a tool is truly transformational or if we're just caught up in the "shiny-bright-wow-factor" of it. Enter: The iPad. Next week many early adopters will be standing in lines at Apple Stores across the country, waiting to get their hands on their new iPads (full disclosure: this includes me). "It's just a big iPhone," is what I hear many early critics protest. But... will it be transformational?
What are your thoughts? Teen internet use on the rise. Can we move beyond Integrating Technology as a tool? 0 Comments March 7, 2010 By: Scott Meech Mar 7 Written by: 3/7/2010 1:28 AM ShareThis Image via Wikipedia When talking about lifelong learning, I often reference Project Integration and how we need to get away from this model. Now, I am proud to say that I have helped many teachers and student's improve their learning through creating projects with technology that expand upon their knowledge in a variety of curriculums. Voicethread Linked Here While many of these projects are very worthwhile, I still believe there has to be more to it. We need to focus on learning how to learn. As a former social studies teacher, I know first hand how difficult it can be for teachers in this curricular to make decisions on content. While I evangelize to some, I need to come clean as well.
