Choose the perfect TED Talk for your students' needs-try it! | National Geographic Learning: In Focus Reading Time: 3 minutes According to the internet, video is processed 60,000 faster than text – an amazing, but seemingly unfounded claim repeated over and over online. Still, the old proverb A picture’s worth a thousand words isn’t wrong, and as teachers, we understand that one of the great things about video is the way the pictures and words work together to support learning. The science behind using online video in the classroom It’s well understood that short-term memory is limited and can only cope with a certain amount of information at one time, so anything that anyone is trying to learn has to enter the mind without overwhelming the short-term memory.

Digital Debris blog — Digital Debris But if we take a moment to deconstruct this image, it becomes clear that this space is far from neutral. Even before we explore Lefebre’s ‘relations between things’, the fact that the computer room exists in its own detached space, disconnected from the everyday interactions of the classroom, carries the implicit message (to teachers and learners) that technology isn’tsomething that should be woven into the fabric of knowledge construction. It reinforces a digital/physical dichotomy by literally separating the two through distance. Returning to the picture, we can see that the computers are arranged linearly, in rows, and there is a single chair in front of each fixed screen. A pair of headphones is connected to each PC for listening to audio. To be fair, there is a certain amount of technological determinism at work here.

About Us PortfolioGen started as a project between two dedicated teachers from New Jersey. We were looking for way to create an online presence that would allow us to share our skills and achievements with our peers and administrators. Sure, there were options available to build webpages and share documents but nothing that gave the features, customization and simplicity that we were looking for. At first, this was a very basic site that we both used for our academic advancement but soon grew into a labor of love and pride as we noticed more and more people inquiring about the site, sending positive feedback and offering up suggestions. We quickly embraced the idea of building a great product that our users find a valuable resource. With over 37,000 teachers, students, educators and professionals from all over the world using PortfolioGen, we are more dedicated than ever in providing a great resource.
