Back to top Sometimes a Chat Is Just a Chat January 27, 2014 by tomwhitby I recently attended a provocative session at Educon. For those who don’t know Educon is an annual education Conference held at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia each year on the week before the Super Bowl. It was in one such session that #Edchat received what I thought was an unwarranted criticism from one of the participants in the session. For those who may be new to social media scheduled chats take place on Twitter on various topics in education throughout the week. The Edchat criticism came in a discussion that I attended on The Privileged Voices in Education; facilitated by two people I greatly admire Jose Vilson, and Audrey Watters. Of course the Edchat criticism came during this particular educator’s comments within this larger more important discussion, so I did not feel it appropriate to respond to him at the time.

10 Ways Teacher Planning Should Adjust To The Google Generation 10 Ways Teacher Planning Should Adjust To The Google Generation by Terry Heick For the Google Generation, information isn’t scarce, and knowing has the illusion of only being a search away. I’ve written before about how Google impacts the way students think. This post is less about students, and more about how planning resources like standards and curriculum maps might respond accordingly. Curriculum maps are helpful little documents that standardize learning. The problem is, now more than ever, critical knowledge is changing. In the presence of Google, predictive search, digital communities, social media, Quora, adaptive apps, and other technology, information is less scarce than it has ever been in human history. There is a subreddit for transhumanism. That’s pretty incredible. There’s also one for education, science, the future, the past, self-directed learning, teaching, books, technology, and almost any other topic you can think of. 1. 2. 3. 4. See #2. 5. In 2014, we can do better. 6.
abcteach: Printable Worksheets for Teachers, Common Core, Smart Board Using Technology to Organize Your Lessons and Resources Technology is a wonderful thing. I've been lucky in that my father, a chemist, and my mother, an elementary teacher, both realized that my siblings and I should be exposed to technology early on. I was using a TRS-80 computer in 7th grade (1986-87) and my parents bought us a Radio Shack Color Computer that same year. I rarely carry anything home from school because of these tech tools. I use a few different tech tools to organize my lessons and resources for school and use a variety of tech tools on a daily basis. 1. 2. 3.

6 Platforms to Create Augmented Reality When most people first try augmented reality(AR) in education, they start with applications that have the AR content already built into the app. Apps like AR Flashcards, PBS Kids CyberChase Shape Quest, and Crayola Color Alive have this, and are a great way to get your feet wet. As educators, we know the power of creation. Hopefully one of the following 6 platforms will help you and your students dive in to creating your own augmented reality! The first creation platform is from our friends at DAQRI! 4D Studio will allow users to create augmented reality campaigns with no prior coding knowledge, just basic computer skills. * DAQRI 4D Studio is currently being updated and is* unavailable to new users. tuned for more exciting information later this year! Screenshots from 4D Studio Next is the augmented reality platform from Aurasma. *Metaio was acquired by Apple and is no longer available* I. II. In both of the cases, it is possible to release the AR scenario as a channel in Junaio.
Channel 4 Learning - DVDs, CD-Roms and free online education resources and activities for schools Making Sense I've sometimes been asked why I keep a blog which focuses mostly on digital learning tools - wouldn't simply bookmarking be sufficient? Among the different reasons which lead me to keep a blog (as well as several curation sites), I have to highlight the ease it has become to log onto any computer, any system, anywhere, easily accessing links and sites which I consider relevant, interesting or useful. I was fortunate enough to have grown up surrounded by books, magazines and journals. All became part of my immediate day-to-day routine; initially belonging to the elders of the family who shared stories and explanations with me, later these objects of knowledge also became part of my inner surroundings and routines. However, I have also lived in social settings where libraries either did not have the books I wanted to read or where there was no borrowing system as I had grown up with. Let's consider the introduction of leadership change in the field of management. Life is good.
