Investigación sobre la creación y diseño de Escenarios de Aprendizaje con TIC By .@juandoming | A New Society, a new education! Estudio: Aplicaciones móviles.

Esto es lo que revela el más reciente estudio sobre uso de móviles del Pew Internet & American Life Project publicado hoy. ¿Para qué un smartphone si no van a usar aplicaciones? Me pregunto yo. Claro, hay muchas cosas que se pueden hacer, y entre las preferidas tenemos que el 76% lo usan para sacar fotos, el 72% para enviar y recibir mensajes de texto, 38% para acceder a Internet y 33% para reproducir música.

Kids Text Every 10 Minutes When They're Awake. Consumer Report Information. Uso de la tecnología de parte de los docentes. Los resultados del “Faculty Survey of Student Engagement” (2009) no son muy halagadores en relación al uso de la tecnología por los docentes. En el mismo se encuestaron alrededor de 4,600 profesores de 50 colegios y universidades estadounidenses. Los datos revelan que la web 2.0 y las tecnologías de aprendizaje son utilizadas por un por ciento bien bajo de docentes: 1. El 13% de los profesores señalaron que utilizan blogs en la enseñanza 2. Un 12% ha utilizado las videoconferencias 3. 4. 5.

Technology linked to happiness, study claims. 12 May 2010Last updated at 09:38 Social media and mobile phones were highly valued. There are positive links between access to technology and feelings of well-being, a study claims. BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, analysed the results of a survey of 35,000 people around the world.
Access to communication devices was found to be the most valued. It found that women in developing countries, and people of both sexes with low incomes or poor education, were most influenced emotionally by their access to technology. It is partly because women tend to have a more central role in family and other social networks, said researcher Paul Flatters of Trajectory Partnership, which conducted the research on behalf of the BCS.
"Our hypothesis is that women in developing countries benefit more because they are more socially constrained in society," he added. "The next phase of our research is to test that.

May 27, 2010 By: Mary Bart in EdTech News and Trends College students who abstained from using media for 24 hours describe their feelings in terms more commonly associated with drug and alcohol addictions: Withdrawal, Frantically craving, Very anxious, Extremely antsy, Miserable, Jittery, Crazy.
A new study from the International Center for Media & the Public Agenda (ICMPA) at the University of Maryland, concludes that most college students are not just unwilling, but functionally unable to be without their media links to the world. The ICMPA study, “24 Hours: Unplugged,” asked 200 students at the College Park campus to give up all media for 24 hours. After their 24 hours of abstinence, the students were then asked to blog on private class websites about their experiences. The 200 students wrote more than 110,000 words: in aggregate, about the same number of words as a 400-page novel.
“Texting and IM-ing my friends gives me a constant feeling of comfort,” wrote one student. . [...] Kids More Likely to Own a Cellphone Than a Book, Study Finds. As technology becomes more a part of our day-to-day lives, some are worried that it is stunting the education of children by taking away time from activities like reading. A startling discovery from the London-based National Literacy Trust finds that children are more likely these days to own a cell phone than they are a book. The study, which NLT will publish next week, ties cell phone penetration to the presence of books in a child's home, but are these conclusions fair to draw? A survey of 17,000 U.K. children between the ages of 7 and 16 found that while 86% owned a cell phone, only 73% said they owned a book.
The NLT believes a child's access to books has a direct effect on their reading ability, finding that 80% of children reading at their expect levels have their own books. Conversely, the same can only be said for just 58% of children not reading up to par with their age group. Redefining "Reading" Are Parents to Blame? "It doesn't have to be an either or.
