Show Me Your Badge The picture is a digital badge, a new type of credential being developed by some of the most prominent businesses and learning organizations in the world, including Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, the University of California, the Smithsonian, Intel and Disney-Pixar. The badge movement is being spearheaded by the Mozilla Foundation, best known for inventing the free Firefox Web browser, the choice of nearly one-quarter of all Internet users worldwide. While they may appear to be just images, digital badges are actually portals that lead to large amounts of information about what their bearers know and can do. They are also being used to improve education itself, by borrowing techniques from video games that keep users playing, until they advance to the next level. Badges are gaining currency at the same time that a growing number of elite universities have begun offering free or low-cost, noncredit courses to anyone with access to the Internet and a desire to learn.

LEP.gov - Limited English Proficiency (LEP): A federal Interagency Website How the Internet is Revolutionizing Education - TNW Industry As connection speeds increase and the ubiquity of the Internet pervades, digital content reigns.

L'École numérique » Boîtiers de vote et de réponse : au service de l’interactivité Aujourd’hui, les boîtiers ont leur place dans l’enseignement, notamment pour faire participer tous les élèves. Cet outil peut être un moyen d’améliorer l’interactivité de séquences définies, de favoriser la motivation des élèves, de recueillir instantanément les réponses d’une classe et non de quelques volontaires et d’informer rapidement le professeur sur leurs erreurs. Les boîtiers de vote Les boîtiers de vote permettent d’interroger les élèves d’une manière simple sous forme de questionnaire à choix multiples (QCM). Ces boîtiers présentent souvent cinq boutons indiquant un chiffre et/ou une lettre (1/A), un autre pour allumer et éteindre l’appareil, un bouton pour valider. Les avantages La facilité et la rapidité de l’exercice. L’affichage possible de la réponse permet à l’interrogé de reconnaître son erreur et de progresser. Il existe deux types de boîtiers de vote, l’un associé à un ordinateur par liaison radio (récepteur USB), l’autre sans aucun lien. Les boîtiers de réponse
5 Tips and Tools for the Tech Terrified Teacher By Marisa Kaplan May 24, 2012 11:28 am I left the classroom in September to pursue my interest in education innovation and technology. It saddens me that I had to leave the classroom to pursue these interests but while I was in the classroom, I found myself overloaded with responsibilities. At points I felt that my teaching practice was confined to my city, my school, or worse, the four walls of my classroom. There are two kinds of teachers today, the tech guru and the tech terrified. Rhena shared about how intimidating and overwhelming it was to be in a room full of “techies.” Over the past two years, I have gone through a transformation process. 5 Tips for the Tech Terrified Teacher Remember, it’s not about you! 5 Simple Tech Tools for the Tech Terrified Teacher: A starting point Get a Gmail account! Until we actively start addressing the discomfort that teachers like Rhena feel in the edtech space, we will not be successful in moving our teachers or students into the 21st Century. 1.

ē.l@b | Laboratoire. Éducation. Numérique Qui sommes nous ? Acteurs du monde éducatif, de l’école primaire à l’université, nous avons voulu sortir de notre isolement pour échanger sur nos pratiques pédagogiques. Nous avons besoin d’avoir une vision globale et commune de l’École et d’expérimenter pour innover. Convaincus d’avoir chacun à apprendre des autres, et tant à imaginer encore pour inventer l’école de la société numérique, nous avons donc décidé de créer ensemble e.l@b. Missions Que voulons nous faire ? Comment allons-nous faire ? Nous allons bien entendu nous appuyer sur des outils numériques pour mettre en contact, développer l’entraide et la collaboration, publier, former et informer, fédérer les énergies autour de ce projet.

Developing Questions for Critical Thinking “Education must be increasingly concerned about the fullest development of all children and youth, and it will be the responsibility of the schools to seek learning conditions which will enable each individual to reach the highest level of learning possible.” Benjamin Bloom Handbook on Formative and Summative Evaluation of Student Learning Bloom’s original taxonomy (developed in the 1950's) divided the way people learn into three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. In the 1990's Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom revised the original cognitive domain. The revised taxonomy is preferred by some educators as a more authentic tool for curriculum planning, instructional delivery, and assessment.
