Edu-(Tech)niques « Educational Technology in Practice in The Field! Pencil Portrait Lessons In the last lesson on eyes we talked about the various problems that artists run into when trying to draw eyes as realistic as possible. In this lesson, we will begin the drawing process. There are two things that you need to do in order to in order to get started. The next thing that you have to have is your initial sketch drawn on your paper. Step One - The Pupil The first step is to draw in the pupil. Important Note: Make sure that you do NOT color in the areas that will be the highlights. Step Two - The IrisBefore we start drawing in the iris, I want to talk a moment about a technique called hatching. This image illustrates both the correct and incorrect usage of hatching. There are a few ways that artists traditionally shade the iris area of the eyes. Ok, the first step in the iris is to create the initial lines of hatching. Did anyone notice the mistake I made here? Step Three - The Edge of the Iris Step Four - Pulling in the Darkness Step Five - Blending to Create Depth Next Lesson:

Bridge to Learning - Educational Research The fundamental model of school education is still a teacher talking to a group of pupils. It has barely changed over the centuries, even since Plato established the earliest “akademia” in a shady olive grove in ancient Athens.A Victorian schoolteacher could enter a 21st century classroom and feel completely at home. Whiteboards may have eliminated chalk dust, chairs may have migrated from rows to groups, but a teacher still stands in front of the class, talking, testing and questioning.But that model won’t be the same in twenty years’ time. It may well be extinct in ten.Technology is already bringing about a profound transformation in education, in ways that we can see before our very eyes and in others that we haven’t even dreamt of yet. Nothing too remarkable here, and any regular reader of this blog will recognise similar ideas spouted on these pages. The present IT national curriculum for schools would be abolished leaving schools freedom to design their own curriculum.

Tech Learning TL Advisor Blog and Ed Tech Ticker Blogs from TL Blog Staff – TechLearning.com 0 Comments March 25, 2011 By: Ben Grey Mar 25 Written by: 3/25/2011 9:31 AM ShareThis As I started writing this post, I quickly realized there was no way I would be able to address everything in a single post. We are currently exploring the possibility of implementing a 1:1 program at our middle school with our roughly 1,060 students next year. My research was centered around the premise that these devices would prove to be both a conduit and source of production for our students' learning. After evaluating the devices above, we realized that a hybrid environment will likely be the most effective for our purposes. In our environment, we plan on distributing a netbook running Linux to the general student population. When we were considering the various devices, the full laptops were ruled out fairly quickly due to cost and size. We then looked more closely at the iPads and netbooks. Our final breakdown was as follows: Also factor in additional app costs. Take an average class of 30 students.

How To Search Free Ebooks Independently Like A Search Engine How To Search Free Ebooks Independently Like A Search Engine Ideally, the first step that you need to take is to identify the status of the ebook title that you’re searching for – to identify whether it’s free or not. A quick search through your favorite search engines should give you a pretty good idea. If the results you’re getting are mostly from Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, or basically any book review sites out there, chances are, you’re searching for a commercial book. However, in certain circumstances, a commercial paperback book does not always mean that its digital / ebook version is not free. In the other hand, if that particular title you’re searching for is indeed free, we believe you shouldn’t have any problems searching it through any of the search engines out there. 1. 15 Sites That You Can Search For Ebooks 2. 3. 4. 8 Blog Search Engines Some authors might have blogs to keep their readers up to date. 5.

Two great quotes about education technology I heard one very quotable thing today, and read another very quotable thing. The first was to do with copyright, the second to do with embracing technology in education. See what you think: Copyright Tom Kent, of the Associated Press, was speaking at a Westminster Forum conference on the theme of the future of news. He said let’s suppose you use someone else’s photograph on your website without seeking their permission, and then insert a caption saying “Photograph courtesy of <your name>” because you think that will cover any potential legal issues. I think that’s a great way of bringing home to people the reality that using other people’s stuff without their permission (unless it already comes with permission, like a Creative Commons licence) is theft. This is not a new thing, of course. The impact of technology in education I read an article submitted to me by Nigel Willetts, for Computers in Classrooms.
