The application is installed on your desktop or laptop. The positive implications for the education field are huge!!! First, as one that often creates screencasts to help people learn a process, the ability to mirror my iPad screen onto my desktop, and then use Camtasia, Jing, or Captivate to capture the process is huge for me! Here is a quick, no audio screencast I recently made using Reflector and a screencasting tool. The more important bonus for the classroom setting is that the Mac computer (running Mac 10.6.8 or Windows XP or better) can be hooked up to the LCD projector or whiteboard projector the typical way (usually VGA or DVI). The work is all done on the iPad-- the desktop is just the "screen". If you have any more ideas for use of this app in the classroom.

10 common gestures easily misunderstood abroad Feature Photo : Striatic Photo: Marcusrg Frequent travelers must be great at charades. When you need to communicate and you don’t have the luxury of a shared language, body language is invaluable. A skilled traveler can negotiate a taxi, buy food in a market, and get directions from a stranger through hand motions alone. Things can get lost in translation, though, when a typical gesture from your country means something completely different in other parts of the world. 1. In 1992, George Bush visited Australia and, from the window of his limousine, held up his index and middle fingers in the “V” shape, a la Winston Churchill. 2. Photo: Alan Light We use this gesture in North America to say “stop,” or, if you’re a child of the Jerry Springer era, “talk to the hand.” 3. This gesture of agreement or approval is an easy reflex when language barriers are at play. 4. Curling your index finger to say “come here” is a no-no in many Asian countries. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

3 Ways to Bring Problem Based Learning to Your Classroom Working together in a small group to solve a problem is often one of the biggest challenges students in the classroom face. Trying to work with classmates to solve what could be a challenging question often tests the skill of the student. But this type of collaboration, or cooperative learning scenario, can actually promote growth in the cognitive function of students. 1. Collaboration “According to Lev Vygotsky, collaboration promotes cognitive growth because students’ model for each other more advanced ways of thinking than any would demonstrate individually. When students work in these groups to exercise problem-based learning, they are also using language and trying to connect with fellow group members. To compare and contrast problem based learning and how it applies in both large and small classrooms, one article of reference includes McMaster University’s “Problem-based learning, especially in the context of large groups.” 2. 3.

Capítulo 5. - La experiencia investigativa en el diseño de un modelo para la educación virtual Saber ver requiere saber pensar lo que se ve. Saber ver implica pues, saber pensar, como saber pensar implica saber ver. Saber pensar no es solamente aplicar la lógica y la verificación a los datos de la experiencia. Esto supone también saber organizar los datos de la experiencia.Edgar Morin, Para salir del siglo XX (1981) No hay mejor teoría que una buena práctica. John Dewey. María Elena Giraldo Ramírez María Ruth Patiño Lemos Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana La pregunta obligada frente al título de este artículo no se deja esperar: ¿cómo llegamos a la construcción de un Modelo para la Educación en Ambientes Virtuales? Para develar el malentendido generado por la visión maniquea y determinista de los tópicos , iniciamos procesos de investigación básica y aplicada que nos permitieran formalizar nuestras especulaciones teóricas y nuestras experiencias en Educación Superior. »Visualizar gráfico en PDF »Visualizar gráfico en PDF »Visualizar gráfico en PDF »Visualizar gráfico en PDF
CPU-e, Revista de Investigación Educativa La educación entre el pasado y el futuro “La esencia de la educación consiste en el hecho de que los seres nacen para el mundo”. Con estas palabras, Hannah Arendt identifica la natalidad como la esencia misma de la educación. Según Arendt, la crisis actual de la educación radica en el deterioro de la esfera pública por la glorificación de la privada. ¿Cómo hacer de la educación un proceso activo y restituidor de la potencia pública? Aquí cabe una advertencia: tanto la creación de nuevas realidades a las que nos inspira Freire como la restauración de nuestro compromiso con los nuevos y con el mundo a que alude Arendt, no son puntos de llegada sino ideas que abren caminos de reflexión, deflagran cuestiones y abarcan nuevos retos.
