Una tiza y tú
Seguro que muchos se extrañarán de la pregunta y otros muchos me entenderán. Tener una PDI en el aula supone una inversión, no todos pueden contar con ella, es una suerte, una necesidad, una ayuda, un estorbo… hay opiniones para todos los gustos porque en realidad es una herramienta más (costosa eso sí) y sólo nosotros con lo que hagamos con ella le daremos razón de ser. Analizando lo que observo a mi alrededor constato que la mayor parte de l@s afortunad@s que disponen de una PDI en su aula la utilizan como pantalla de proyección; esto no lo digo en sentido negativo, muchas veces quieres poner un pequeño vídeo para ejemplificar lo que estás explicando y tener la PDI te permite integrarlo en tu clase, cuando para ello hay que grabarlo previamente, traer el carrito con la tele y el dvd…etc no compensa así que es algo positivo. También te permite presentar el Power Point que has creado o seleccionado para una determinada lección.
The question of "what should a classroom" look like in terms of technology has been asked many times in our district and in many places. The whole pursuit of one to one computing is still somewhat interesting but in recent times I've been trying to think a little differently about this idea. During a recent presentation I dared to say : Certainly a statement like this will elicit a great deal of discussion as is should.

Learning to Change – Changing to Learn [VIDEO]
We all know Education needs to be changed if not dramatically, at least urgently. Technology, collaborative web and tools are providing us with an unique first time chance and new perspective to do so, but still, schools are same old systems and structures. More and more teachers, educators and pedagogues are claiming for this innovation and change into education: making teachers become mentors and integrating new technologies in syllabus and courses, creating new spaces for students, and most of all, making learning experience a more collaborative and dynamic process, that is, turning a classroom into a community where students learn much more than history or maths, were they can relate to knowledge and experiment, where they can share and co-work. Some schools are already even using some videogames for History where students get involved into 3D adventures in Ancient Rome or Greece learning about life, society, politics, history, art, maths, etc.
Push | The Principal of Change
I was very excited to be asked to write the introduction for an e-book that Richard Byrne is putting together to share with educators next week. I am really hoping that I can give that little push to educators to start using these free technologies to connect kids around the world. In the spirit of sharing , the introduction is below. This is probably the most overused, yet most relevant quote on the planet. The times they are always changing and although the world continues to change with it, some educational practices have become stagnant.Elementos para construir nuestro Entorno Social de Aprendizaje (SLE) | XarxaTIC
Son muchas las presentaciones que existen en la red sobre PLEs ( Personal Learning Environment ) y PLNs ( Personal Learning Network ), pero pocas se refieren a la reciente definición realizada por Jane Hart , que acuñó el vocablo SLE ( Social Learning Environment ), como un lugar donde personas y grupos pueden compartir y crear colaborativamente contenido y experiencias educativas, aprendiendo unos de los otros para mejorar su capacidad docente. Puede ser usado para extender el contenido formal, y favorecer la interacción entre alumnos y docentes. Normalmente se trata de un entorno bastante informal, en el que se van agregando paulatinamente más elementos (desconocidos a priori), que permiten mejorar la experiencia en el aprendizaje. No es objeto del SLE gestionar, controlar y hacer un seguimiento de los usuarios, pero provee de un entorno abierto para trabajar y aprender de forma colaborativa.
American consumers will shell out an estimated $2.6 billion for back-to-school supplies this fall. That's up 1.7% over last year, incidentally, an indication that even in tough economic times, there's no escaping the lure of the 64-box of Crayons. And as parents and students are shopping for their back-to-school supplies, educators are preparing a whole other set of tools for the classroom. We asked educators what is the one new tech tool they are most looking forward to taking into the classroom with them this fall - hardware or software, a new tool, or just one that's new to their class. The iPad and Twitter tied for the number of votes in our back-to-school survey. But if you combine those teachers who listed the iPad with those who voted for tablets, along with the shout-out for the 15 netbook mini-lab, then the educators who responded are most excited about bringing mobile hardware in the classroom.
Teachers Pick Their Top 5 Back-To-School Tech Tools
I can directly thank two people for today's cartoon. One is Deb Ng , who tweeted this a few days ago : No question, there's a lot of "Look at me, look at me!"

Presentation Zen: The need for connection & engagement in education
Anyone who wants to make better presentations should be interested in how people learn. If you are interested in how people learn, you are obviously interested in education. And if you are interested in education, you surely have strong opinions about schools and other institutions of formal instruction and learning. As Sir Ken Robinson said in his first TED talk a few years ago, education is one of those things like religion and money that people have very strong opinions about. Few people think that the formal education systems around the world are perfect.Tanto en el congreso de Menores en las TIC , como en mi taller de Interqué como en general en los artículos de educación de Blogoff vengo hablando de la necesidad de limar la brecha digital entre padres e hijos, combatiendo la idea de que un ordenador y más concretamente internet, son un juguete del que saben mucho los chavales y los padres no tienen ni idea. La idea de diversificar la actividad de los chavales delante del ordenador, en general, cala bien en las familias así que hoy os traigo 10 ideas que según la edad, los intereses y la relación que tengas con tu hijo pueden cuadrar más o menos. Recuerda: no no tienes nada que perder .

Revista Tendencias Pedagógicas: Artículos de la Revista seleccionada
Autor: Rosa María Esteban Moreno . Profesora Titular de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Sus líneas de investigación se encuentran en las competencias docentes, la atención a la diversidad, la escuela inclusiva y las comunidades de aprendizaje. Pertenece al grupo de investigación EMIPE, reconocido por la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Desde el año 2009 es la directora de la revista Tendencias Pedagógicas. Autor: Joaquín Paredes Labra .La nueva metodología vertebrada por las competencias básicas impulsa la interdisciplinariedad como fundamento la resolución de problemas. Los estudios de la inteligencia humana así lo demuestran: sea el problema del tipo que sea, ponemos a funcionar todas nuestras capacidades, y depende de nuestra habilidad para coordinarlas e imaginar nuevas combinaciones el resolverlo mejor o peor. Hace ya mucho tiempo que se definió la inteligencia, más que como una habilidad concreta, como la habilidad para resolver situaciones de conflicto, y la pedagogía de las competencias recoge esta definición con la idea de hacer a nuestros jóvenes más capaces de desenvolverse en cualquier medio.
