How to Get Students Ready for Learning

Scott: I was a student that probably could have fallen through the cracks pretty easily and I always vowed that if I was ever into education I was going to create a school in which all kids counted and that we did everything in our power for kids.

If you’ve been following news reports about higher education, you know that MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), using online technologies to offer courses open to the world, are capturing the imagination of education prognosticators who see them either as benefits or as threats to traditional universities and the students they serve.

UMass Boston is offering its first MOOC this spring, “Molecular Dynamics for Discoveries in Computational Science,” taught by Nishikant Sonwalker, adjunct professor Physics and founder of Synaptic Global Learning , to be followed in June by a second MOOC on Coasts and Communities, and the Center for Innovation and Excellence in E-Learning (CIEE) in the College of Advancing and Professional Studies held a symposium on “The Sustainability of MOOCs in Higher Education” in December to prepare the way.

The idea behind flipping is to use new technologies and resources to move some of what has traditionally gone on in classrooms into an online environment so that students can access the material or engage in the learning activities at any time, opening up classroom time for activities that can deepen students’ learning, whether they involve group problem-solving, teacher to student or student to student coaching and mentoring, or project-based activities. Here are some general principles of flipped learning, according to Jon Bergman, the high school chemistry teacher who may be most responsible for creating a movement around the concept:

Flipped Classroom - digitalsandbox. Sharing iTunes & iCloud Accounts in a Family. Q: I’m wondering about the best way for my wife and I to use our iTunes and iCloud accounts with iOS 5.1.

Sharing iTunes & iCloud Accounts in a Family

We each have our own iPhone but are currently sharing an iPad. I also have my own MacBook Air, but we both share a family iMac. Can we use the same iTunes accounts for our apps and music, but different iCloud accounts to keep our contacts and calendars separate? Also, how do we handle things like Photo Stream and sharing pictures? I’d like to have all of our pictures land on the family iMac so neither of us has to plug in our iPhones to transfer them, but I don’t see any way to set up our single iPhoto library to use both of our iCloud accounts. - Erik A: There are a few different ways in which you can approach this depending on your specific requirements.

Firstly, keep in mind that your iCloud Apple ID and your iTunes Store Apple ID do not have to be the same. iCloud. Twitter-handbook-for-teachers.pdf.

Professional Development for Educators. What is the Arizona Technology Integration Matrix? The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.

What is in each cell? Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson.
