Educational Technology
Educational technology is the effective use of technological tools in learning. As a concept, it concerns an array of tools, such as media, machines and networking hardware, as well as considering theoretical perspectives for their effective application.[1][2] Educational technology includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning. Information and communication systems, whether free-standing or based on either local networks or the Internet in networked learning, underlie many e-learning processes.[6] Educational technology and e-learning can occur in or out of the classroom.

Constructivism Jean Piaget: founder of Constructivism In past centuries, constructivist ideas were not widely valued due to the perception that children's play was seen as aimless and of little importance. Jean Piaget did not agree with these traditional views, however. He saw play as an important and necessary part of the student's cognitive development and provided scientific evidence for his views. For more detailed information on the philosophy of the construction of human knowledge, see constructivist epistemology. Formalization of the theory of constructivism is generally attributed to Jean Piaget, who articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. When individuals assimilate, they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework. According to the theory, accommodation is the process of reframing one's mental representation of the external world to fit new experiences. A few strategies for cooperative learning include

Instructional technology In education, instructional technology is "the theory and practice of design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of processes and resources for learning," according to the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Definitions and Terminology Committee.[1] Instructional technology is often referred to as a part of educational technology but the use of these terms has changed over the years.[2] Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources."[3] While instructional technology covers the processes and systems of learning and instruction, educational technology includes other systems used in the process of developing human capability. History[edit] The first use of instructional technology cannot be attributed to a specific person or time. Current status[edit] Areas[edit] See also[edit] HowTo.tv References[edit]

LE CONTEXTE GENERAL : une éducation tout numérique ? Everywhere Education. Plus besoin de se rendre dans une classe ou une bibliothèque pour apprendre. C’est évidemment une provocation mais avec un fond de vérité … Les Tablettes et les Smartphones connectent les apprenants en tous lieux et en tous temps. Les conférences TED, les Massive Open Online Courses des universités (Cours en Ligne Ouverts aux Masses ou MOOC), les Wikis ou autres communautés de pratiques démocratisent l’accès aux enseignements, même les plus techniques. Dans son livre L’Èducation Réinventée, Salman Kahn affirme son ambition pour Kahn Academy: “A free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.” "Nous sommes au début d’un changement très profond même si la nous avons la tendance à le simplifier, cela est vraiment important." 2.

50 Powerful Ways To Use Skype In The Classroom Added by Katie Lepi on 2012-11-15 Collaborate! Meet with other classrooms : One of the most common projects educators utilize Skype for is setting up exchanges with classrooms around the world, usually for cultural exchange purposes or working together on a common assignment. The program’s official site provides some great opportunities to meet up with like-minded teachers and students sharing the same goals. Practice a foreign language : Connect with individual learners or classrooms hailing from a different native tongue can use a Skype collaboration to sharpen grammar and pronunciation skills through conversation. Communicate! Parent-teacher conferences : Save gas, time, and energy by holding meetings with moms and dads via video chat instead of the usual arrangement. Connect! Art crits : Schedule time with professional artists and receive thorough crits about how to improve a piece. And here’s the tools to help you do it! Comments are closed.

Constructionism Seymour Papert Seymour Papert defined constructionism in a proposal to the National Science Foundation entitled Constructionism: A New Opportunity for Elementary Science Education as follows: "The word constructionism is a mnemonic for two aspects of the theory of science education underlying this project. From constructivist theories of psychology we take a view of learning as a reconstruction rather than as a transmission of knowledge. As Papert and Idit Harel say at the start of Situating Constructionism, "It is easy enough to formulate simple catchy versions of the idea of constructionism; for example, thinking of it as 'learning-by-making'. Here is one type of theory that constructivist learning theory can be applied in a classroom setting. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. These are some examples of problem based learning and is an example of a constructivist approach to learning.[11] Constructionist learning have also been put into practice by the World Wide Workshop Foundation.

E-learning Educational technology is "the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources".[1] Educational technology as the theory and practice of educational approaches to learning.Educational technology as technological tools and media that assist in the communication of knowledge, and its development and exchange.Educational technology for learning management systems (LMS), such as tools for student and curriculum management, and education management information systems (EMIS).Educational technology as back-office management, such as training management systems for logistics and budget management, and Learning Record Store (LRS) for learning data storage and analysis.Educational technology itself as an educational subject; such courses may be called "Computer Studies" or "Information and communications technology (ICT)".

Etablir un questionnaire avant la formation | formation Lors de la mise en place d’une formation professionnelle dans votre entreprise, vous aurez tout intérêt à évaluer, d’une part, le niveau de compétences de vos salariés, et d’autre part, leurs attentes en matière d’enseignement. Cet aspect de la mise en place d’une formation est souvent négligé. On a tendance à penser davantage à l’évaluation finale. Mais on oublie, ce faisant, que, sans point de repère, de comparaison, cette évaluation ne sera pas très éloquente. Quelques semaines avant la formation Si vous vous y prenez suffisamment tôt, il est possible de mettre en place un diagnostic des compétences et des attentes des stagiaires. Le questionnaire pourra être utilement complété par une série de questions destinées à permettre aux futurs stagiaires d’exprimer leurs besoins, leurs attentes. L’évaluation préalable a pour avantage de permettre plusieurs adaptations potentielles de la formation, et réciproquement, du public. Au tout début de la formation Récapitulatif

FreeMind Microlearning Microlearning deals with relatively small learning units and short-term learning activities. Generally, the term "microlearning" refers to micro-perspectives in the context of learning, education and training. More frequently, the term is used in the domain of e-learning and related fields in the sense of a new paradigmatic perspective on learning processes in mediated environments. Introduction[edit] In a wide sense, microlearning can be understood as a metaphor which refers to micro aspects of a variety of learning models, concepts and processes. Depending on frames and domains of reference, micro, meso and macro aspects vary. As an instructional technology, microlearning focuses on the design of microlearning activities through micro steps in digital media environments, which already is a daily reality for today's knowledge workers. Characterization of microlearning[edit] Microlearning can be characterized as follows: Dimensions of microlearning[edit] (Hug 2005, used with permission)

Les lundis TICE Jean-Michel Blanquer, DG de l’Essec et grand spécialiste du monde de l’édcuation, est très actif sur les réseaux sociaux. Sa contribution à notre réflexion est souvent pertinente. Voici un article intitulé « Insuffler la culture digitale, un défi commun pour les entreprises et les universités » et co-écrit avec Pierre Nanterme, PDG d’Accenture, ancien élève de l’ESSEC, Membre de l’Advisory Board du Programme MBA de l’ESSEC) et publiée sur Linkedin. Nous sommes au cœur d’une révolution inédite qui bouleverse l’économie et le management à une vitesse foudroyante. On n’assiste pas seulement à une révolution digitale mais à des révolutions digitales au fur et à mesure que les technologies arrivent à maturité (marketing interactif, Big data, cloud, 3D, intelligence artificielle, blockchain…). L’essor actuel des « EdTech » doit ainsi beaucoup à des jeunes à peine sortis du système scolaire ou universitaire.

An Ed-Tech Guide for Teachers and Technologists “Ed-Tech” stands for educational technology, it is about the education-focused technologies or using general technologies for education purposes. Looking back on 2012, a review on Top 10 Educational Technologies of 2012 (from School Library Journal) is a must-read, and Top 100 Tools for Learning from C4LPT (2012) is the comprehensive list of top Ed-Tech tools from C4LPT. Looking forward to next year, MIT Enterprise Forum gave us the highlight on Converging Trends and Opportunities of K12 EdTech, and The Open University proposed ten innovations that have the potential to provoke major shifts in educational practice: Innovating Pedagogy 2012 from The Open University. Back to the basics of Ed-Tech, Audrey Watters(Hack Education) had created “The Audrey Test” in 2012 – … some of the things I think techies (engineers and entrepreneurs) should know about education. A little history, a little theory, a little policy, a little cognitive science.
