I love tree diagrams and mindmaps and I am sure our students share the same feeling towards them as well. Mindmaps present ideas and data in a visual way akin to visible thinking. Given the importance of these tools in eduction, Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has already provided a comprehensive list of some of the best web tools that teachers and educators can use to create awesome mindmaps.
Check out this link to explore the tools in case you missed that post. Today I am sharing with you a great graphic , it is basically a tree diagram I found on university of Alberta. This tree is " a helpful unifying device linking theory and practice.

14 Brilliant Bloom’s Taxonomy Posters For Teachers by TeachThought Staff Bloom’s Taxonomy is a useful tool for assessment design, but using it only for that function is like using a race car to go to the grocery–a huge waste of potential. In an upcoming post we’re going to look at better use of Bloom’s taxonomy in the classroom, but during research for that post it became interesting how many variations there are of the original work. While a handful of the charts below only show aesthetic changes compared to others, most are concept maps of sorts–with graphic design that signifies extended function (power verbs), detail (clear explanations), or features of some sort (Bloom’s Taxonomy tasks by level). The follow simple, student-centered Bloom’s graphics were created by helloliteracy! The following “Bloom’s pinwheel” comes from Kelly Tenkley and ilearntechnology.com: 2iswgnm.jpg 615×430 pixels.

About This Episode A conversation with Sir Ken Robinson, Author and Creativity Expert. The Eight Pillars of Innovation. The greatest innovations are the ones we take for granted, like light bulbs, refrigeration and penicillin. But in a world where the miraculous very quickly becomes common-place, how can a company, especially one as big as Google, maintain a spirit of innovation year after year?
Nurturing a culture that allows for innovation is the key. As we’ve grown to over 26,000 employees in more than 60 offices, we’ve worked hard to maintain the unique spirit that characterized Google way back when I joined as employee #16. At that time I was Head of Marketing (a group of one), and over the past decade I’ve been lucky enough to work on a wide range of products.
Some were big wins, others weren’t. Although much has changed through the years, I believe our commitment to innovation and risk has remained constant. What’s different is that, even as we dream up what’s next, we face the classic innovator’s dilemma: should we invest in brand new products, or should we improve existing ones? Share everything. Innovation – The Leadership Soft Skills | KaurSkills. A summary of the role of leadership and soft skills in innovation. ‘A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.’ - Lao Tzu There are a lot of blogs and worthy peer journals, sharing the importance of innovation in business success and survival. We all agree innovation is important, but how do we nurture innovation, as something which is integral to business process, and creates value within an organisation? Exceptional leaders and authors highlight the importance of ‘soft’ skills for successful management and leadership.
Just recently, Tom Peters tweeted: ‘So called “soft” people skills drive implementation. In management practice you could: (a) Ignore soft skills or give credence to ‘soft’ skills, as a key factor to nurturing performance, teamwork, in creativity and ultimate innovation; (c) Prioritise performance targets, financial measures and delivery of products and services.

If your school, and your school day, is not about students collaborating, connecting, and building knowledge and understandings together, why would anyone come? Serious question. If students want to learn in isolation; if they want to sit at a desk and work on their own stuff, occasionally checking in with an "expert," they have no reason to come to school. They can do a lot better at home, or at their local coffee shop or even the public library, where both the coffee and the WiFi connection will be better. Actually, this isn't new for most students. For years we've talked about (or we may have even been) kids who've only come to school because of team sports, or music groups, or theatre, or even hanging out at lunch. But the technologies of our time have made the situation almost universal.
If school isn't about doing things together, just about everyone has better places to spend their day. It really doesn't matter what a company makes or does any more. 1. 2. 3. 4. . - Ira Socol. Why It's Time To Focus On Skills (Not Just Cool Tools) We have all seen list upon list of “cool tools,” “web 2.0 websites,” “educational apps.”
They are a great source for the latest and greatest websites/tools in education. The problem is that they all fall short when it comes to talking about technology skills. Identifying and teaching transferable technology skills are crucial for students to not only be college and career ready, but also to prepare them to lead productive lives in an increasingly global and digital world. Ultimately these types of lists are a detriment to teachers and the effective integration of technology into the classroom. Any one of these web tools that a freshman in high school learns today will most likely not exist or will be replaced by something better in 8-10 years when that freshman graduates from college. Common Questions and Concerns “I want my students to use more technology but I don’t know where to start.”
This was one of the main themes of the second January institute day this year at JTHS. Why? What Are The Habits Of Mind? What Are The Habits Of Mind? By TeachThought Staff Editor’s Note: This post has been updated from a 2012 post. Problem-based learning and project-based learning provide a rich opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge, expand their repertoire of technical skills, and enhance their appreciation of thinking tools, processes and strategies. It is not enough, however, to understand concepts and principles and to solve that one problem, as challenging as it might be. The essential outcome is to develop and expand the dispositions of skillful problem solvers who can apply their learnings to an ever-expanding array of challenges not only in commonly taught subjects in school, but also in their communities, in their world and in their lives. While we are interested in how many answers individuals know, we are even more interested in how they behave when they don’t know—when they are confronted with life’s problems the answers to which are not immediately known.

Don't Miss This Critical Thinking Poster for your Class. One of the answers you would definitely get when you ask any teacher about the skills their students should have is critical thinking. Of course there is more to it than just critical thinking, there is also the ability to Find informationvalidate this informationSynthesize itLeverage informationCommunicate informationCollaborate with itProblem solve itReflect about it Evaluate itPublish it All of these skills are very important for our students particularly in this digitally focused age but if you have a close look at this list you will notice that critical thinking is at the center and all the other skills revolve around it. Hence the importance of developing critical thinkers and learners. Critical thinking in its broadest meaning, refers to a diverse range of intellectual skills and activities concerned with evaluating information as well as evaluating our thought in a disciplined way.
To learn more about critical learning I would recommend that you check these posts : Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Great Critical Thinking Map for your Classroom. You ask any teacher today about the skills they want their students to develop and you will get critical thinking skills as an obvious answer; of course together with other skills. With the advance of technology and the educational paradigmatic shift that ensued , critical thinking skills have occupied a central part in the literature of teaching and learning pedagogy, not that these skills were not important before but I would say they came to the foreground now more than in any time before.
Educational Technology and Mobile Learning has already covered this topic in some previous posts and you can check the following links to learn more about Critical thinking. For today, I am sharing with you a great graphic that illustrates some elements of critical thinking process. Have a look and as always share with us you feedback. Enjoy. OPS 2016 - Blogi. Blogikirjoitus 25.4.2013 Seitsemän veljeksen lukkarin koulussa oppima lukutaito ei enää riitä, vaan nykynuorten on pystyttävä monenlaisten tekstien tulkintaan ja tuottamiseen.
Erilaisia lukutaitoja voi luetella paljon enemmän kuin seitsemän – joku on laskuissaan päässyt jo 30:een. Tekstit eivät ole vain präntättyjä tai printattuja vaan myös puhuttuja, audiovisuaalisia, analogisia tai digitiaalisia. Uudet luku- ja kirjoitustaidot perustuvat tähän laajaan tekstikäsitykseen. Välitettävä tieto on sanallista, visuaalista, auditiivista, numeerista, kinesteettistä tai näiden yhdistelmiä. Uusiin opetussuunnitelman perusteisiin ollaankin tuomassa uusi laaja-alainen osaamisalue. Lukutaito ei siis lokeroidu vain äidinkielen opetukseen, vaan se on laaja-alaista, koko koulun, siis kaikkien oppiaineiden ja tiedonalojen yhteisvastuualuetta. Monilukutaidon oppimisella ei ole ala- eikä yläikärajaa. Monilukutaito on myös tekniikkalaji. Keyboarding or Computer Literacy: The New Dilemma.
Our school has recently made some changes to our technology classes, to model more of an integrated approach. Gone are our days of coming to computer class once a week to learn only keyboarding. In this post I am going to lay out the changes we have made to our school, and in return I request your feedback and questions. Do We Need To Teach Keyboarding? For years I was an elementary school computer teacher, for grades kindergarten through 5. Being a digital native, I have a better understanding of what students are going through today when they are exposed to a traditional keyboarding class – the frustration that ensues when you are typing using a method that may not be here in the next few years. As I mentioned, I am considered, by Marc Prensky , a Digital Native . So the question I pose; do we need to teach traditional keyboarding? The QWERTY Method Ask yourself, when did we learn to keyboard?
Flipping Keyboarding Our Findings Thus Far Parent Buy-In I am still working on parent buy-in. TypingTest.com - Free Typing Test & Keyboarding Games Online. Touch typing. Typing zones on a QWERTY keyboard for each finger. The keys on the home row are circled. There exists an alternate method for the top row as described in the section Other methods; usually split keyboards support this alternate method.
Touch typing (also called touch type or touch method or touch and type method) is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory. Frank Edward McGurrin, a court stenographer from Salt Lake City, Utah who taught typing classes, reportedly invented touch typing in 1888. History[edit] Learning to touch type "Do you not find," he said, "that with your short sight it is a little tiring to do so much typewriting? " The calculations for keyboard layout were based on the language being typed and this meant different keyboard layouts would be needed for each language. The most common other form of typing is search and peck typing (or two-fingered typing). 21 Literacy Resources For The Digital Teacher. Opas-turvalliseen-ja-laadukkaaseen-toimintaan-verkossa.pdf.
