Grades are in: Digital learning gets more state attention. States are passing legislation to improve technology use in K12 classrooms, having debated more than 450 digital learning bills and having signed 132 into law last year, according to the Digital Learning Report Card 2013.
Digital Learning Now! , a national initiative of the Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd), which pushes to reform education and to improve technology, recently released the report card that grades K12 education policies in each of the nation’s 50 states. But the grades for some states are still failing or near failing.
Only two states, Utah and Florida, received As for boosting technology in schools. Ten states received B’s—including Texas and Washington, which improved from the C’s they earned on the 2012 report card. A Great Wheel of All The Learning Theories Teachers Need to Know about. I really feel like there are no words that can ever give credit to the phenomenal work put into creating the wheel below.
It just amazed me how much time invested in it. Teaching is a hands-on activity ( unless you are a lecture-based type of teacher ) that is deeply grounded in learning theories. Being able to recognize and differentiate between the different learning theories together with the ability to understand the reasons why you opt for a certain theory to inform your teaching and not the other are key to sound and successful teaching career.

Simple Techniques for Applying Active Learning Strategies to Online Course Videos. From Web-enhanced face-to-face courses to MOOCs, flipped, blended, and fully online courses, videos are an integral component of today’s educational landscape—from kindergarten all the way through higher education.
But there’s a big difference between watching a video and learning something from it. Videos are great for presenting visual information and emotional appeals, but not particularly effective at diving below the surface of non-visual theoretical or abstract topics or for driving critical thinking. What’s more, any video presented in class must compete for attention and memory with the five-plus hours the typical student spends outside of class watching television programs, movies, and other onscreen entertainment. (Nielsen, 2013) To help increase the educational effectiveness of an online course video, consider applying one or more of the following active learning strategies. 1. A.

Applying the Seven Principles for Good Practice to the Online Classroom. Almost 25 years have passed since Chickering and Gamson offered seven principles for good instructional practices in undergraduate education.
While the state of undergraduate education has evolved to some degree over that time, I think the seven principles still have a place in today’s collegiate classroom. Love the One You’re With: Creating a Classroom Community. January 28, 2013 By: Cynde Gregory in Effective Classroom Management.
MOOCs, Courseware, and the Course as an Artifact. As Phil mentioned in his last post, he and I had the privilege of participating in a two-day ELI webinar on MOOCs.
A majority of the speakers had been involved in implementing MOOCs at their institutions in one way or another. And an interesting thing happened. Over the course of the two days, almost none of the presenters—with the exception of the ACE representative, who has a vested interest—expressed the belief that MOOCs provide equivalent learning experiences to traditional college courses. Keep in mind, these folks were believers. Bloomin' Apps.

Are All Classroom Capture Systems the Same? Webcast. No one has been thinking strategically about knowledge capture in a classroom as long as John DeAngelo.
