8 Free Tools to Visualize Information on Twitter There’s a lot of noise on Twitter. People use a variety of ways to filter through that noise, from following specific lists, finding like-minded people through third party sites, or using a variety of services and websites to find the information that matters to them on Twitter. Another interesting way to filter through what is being said on Twitter, and better yet, analyse it, is to visualize it. This is certainly not a new idea, and we’ve written about some services in the past that will allow you to do just that. With the world around Twitter constantly growing and developing, it’s no surprise that since then there are a ton more services allowing you to visualize your followers, Twitter stream and your own personal Twitter stats. Portwiture Portwiture is definitely one of the more unique visual Twitter apps that you’ll find. Portwiture matches the content of your tweets to photographs that have been uploaded to Flickr.

Doit-on évaluer différemment un élève qui utilise les aides technologiques? Publié le 18 octobre 2011 Je viens de terminer une série de deux rencontres, avec Jean Chouinard et Josée Labossière, avec des enseignants(es) du primaire et du secondaire en adaptation scolaire. Nous avons posé la question suivante aux participants: Doit-on évaluer différemment un élève qui utilise les aides technologiques? La totalité des enseignants(es) ont répondu NON. Bien que la majorité des enseignants(es) en adaptation scolaire répondraient la même chose, beaucoup de titulaires pensent le contraire. Évaluer un enfant qui utilise les aides technologiques suscite beaucoup de discussion. Depuis 2008, le MELS autorise les aides technologiques en évaluation. Je réponds positivement à ceux qui se demandent si un élève qui utilise une aide technologique en situation d’apprentissage a le droit de l’utiliser en situation d’évaluation. Selon la nature des besoins de nos élèves, nous allons différencier notre évaluation.

Blackboard Tips L’UNESCO publie le référentiel de compétences en TIC pour les enseignants Une vingtaine d’années après l’introduction de l’ordinateur à l’école, nous avons tiré de nombreux enseignements sur l’intégration des TIC dans l’éducation et leur potentiel de transformation des systèmes éducatifs nationaux. Force est néanmoins de reconnaître les défis urgents que doivent relever les pays du monde entier pour exploiter toute la puissance des TIC, aussi bien à l’école que dans le reste de la société. Le référentiel de compétences en TIC pour les enseignants a pour ambition d’aider les pays dans l’élaboration de politiques et de normes nationales dans ce domaine, et doit être considéré comme un volet important d’un plan directeur global pour les TIC dans l’éducation. Comme il est clairement exposé dans le référentiel, il ne suffit pas que les enseignants possèdent des compétences dans le domaine des TIC et sachent les transmettre à leurs élèves. <- retour vers Actualités
