Technology in Education Redoublement - FAPEO | FAPEO Le circuit de l’échec vers le redoublement suivi par la relégation et/ou l’abandon est la hantise des parents. Le nombre d’enfants qui redoublent est inquiétant: à la fin du secondaire, on peut considérer qu’ 1 enfant sur 2 a doublé au moins 1 fois et qu’ 1 enfant sur 4 a un retard de 2 ans ou plus. 1 enfant sur 3 quittera l’enseignement secondaire sans diplôme. Les Indicateurs de l’Enseignement 2011 montrent que le taux moyen de redoublement, au lieu de s’amoindrir ne fait que grimper et que cette situation grève le budget de l’enseignement de plus de 335 millions d’euros par an qui pourraient être utilisés de manière beaucoup plus positive en accompagnant les enfants dès qu’une difficulté surgit plutôt que les faire recommencer le même parcours. La FAPEO est notamment interpellée par les chiffres relatifs au redoublement et au retard scolaire: dans une même classe, plus d’1 élève sur 25 redouble en primaire, et près de 4 élèves sur 25 redoublent en secondaire! La position de la FAPEO:

TEACHER TRAINING LIFELONG LEARNING Learning to learn: a series on hacking your own brain I recently partook in a discussion among some fellow community managers on the best ways to learn about the industry and how to train its future generations. When the conversation reached the point where we all shared the “training” we went through ourselves, the answers began getting interesting. “I studied marketing in college.” “I studied communications and the art of rhetoric.” “The job I’ve had that contributed most to the development of my community management skills was being a community manager.” “My social life and interactions with others have been one of the biggest contributors to my professional skill set.” It’s no secret that there just isn’t a degree to be earned in social media or community management. The reality is, this isn’t only the case for community management. How, then, can we find the proper education and training to become experts in these fields? Following this conversation, I was inspired to start a new journey for myself: I’m going to learn to learn.

M-learning : home E-learning Use of technology in education to improve learning and teaching Educational technology (commonly abbreviated as edutech, or edtech) is the combined use of computer hardware, software, and educational theory and practice to facilitate learning.[1][2] When referred to with its abbreviation, edtech, it is often referring to the industry of companies that create educational technology.[3][4] Definition[edit] Accordingly, there are several discrete aspects to describing the intellectual and technical development of educational technology: Educational technology as the theory and practice of educational approaches to learning.Educational technology as technological tools and media, for instance massive online courses, that assist in the communication of knowledge, and its development and exchange. Related terms[edit] Educational technology is an inclusive term for both the material tools, processes, and the theoretical foundations for supporting learning and teaching.

Online learning basics Chapter 1 Foundations of Educational Theory for Online Learning Mohamed Ally Athabasca University There is ongoing debate about whether it is the use of a particular delivery technology or the design of the instruction that improves learning (Clark, 2001; Kozma, 2001). According to Bonk and Reynolds (1997), to promote higher-order thinking on the Web, online learning must create challenging activities that enable learners to link new information to old, acquire meaningful knowledge, and use their metacognitive abilities; hence, it is the instructional strategy and not the technology that influences the quality of learning. Online learning allows for flexibility of access, from anywhere and usually at anytime—essentially, it allows participants to collapse time and space (Cole, 2000)—however, the learning materials must be designed properly to engage the learner and promote learning. top For learners, online learning knows no time zones, and location and distance are not an issue. 1. 2. 3.

Seven Steps to Success with Mobile Learning “Part of 'getting it right' with ed tech is a practical, guided approach to any implementation plan, no matter how big or small. The same can be said for the trend of mobile learning that we're seeing expand in education today.

- Developing Training With What You Carry In Your Pocket Web video, as a means to deliver educational content, is clearly an idea whose time has come. What started as the result of the full motion compression (MPEG) efforts of Philips Interactive Media in 1992, has resulted in the proliferation of web-based instructional video content. For example, YouTube reports that over 72 hours of video content is uploaded to its platform every minute. Many of those videos are instructional or educational in nature. Companies including Microsoft, Cisco and Cloud Access maintain YouTube channels that exist for the sole purpose of providing training materials to their customers. TED-Ed, a free educational platform that allows visitors to create and share instructional videos, receives close to 166,000 visitors per day. What Role Does Technology Play Technology advancements have certainly paved the way for this extended use of video in educational programs.
