Five Tips for New Teachers to Become Connected Educators

Five Tips for New Teachers to Become Connected Educators
Editor's Note: Connected Educator Month (CEM) was launched by the Department of Education in August 2012, and this year, it's being held in October. This post from Lisa Dabbs is a great primer for becoming a connected educator, and it's a must-read for CEM. (Updated 10/2013) This month, the U.S. Department of Education kicked off Connected Educator Month, with engaging keynotes, panel discussions, book chats, and more. During this month, educators in the U.S. and globally will have opportunities to connect themselves and their communities, online and in-person, to support their professional practice. While the idea of being or becoming a connected educator is important, as a new teacher, this may seem completely overwhelming. Having said that, I'd like to chunk this Connected Educator Learning Month opportunity into five educator "Be-Attitudes" that might be easier for a new or pre-service teacher to embrace. Be sure to read each one and give us some feedback. What is Web 2.0?

Un 35% del profesorado no usa las TIC para dar clase – Instituto o educación secundaria – Noticias, última hora, vídeos y fotos de Instituto o educación secundaria en lainformacion El 35 por ciento del profesorado no usa las tecnologías en el aula --Internet, ordenador o pizarras digitales, entre otros soportes-- por falta de formación y seguridad, a pesar de que le gustaría, según el 'Informe de Tecnología 2011' del Instituto de Técnicas Educativas de la Confederación de Centros de Enseñanza (CECE), presentado en el marco de la 'Jornada de Tecnología Educativa' celebrada en Madrid. El trabajo utiliza datos correspondientes al curso 2010-2011 y pertenecen a una muestra de 850 centros de enseñanza de toda España, de Primaria y Secundaria, seleccionados de forma aleatoria. Entre las principales conclusiones, destaca que si bien más de seis de cada diez profesores utiliza las tecnologías para dar clase, todavía más de un tercio no se atreve y un cinco por ciento no está dispuesto a usarlas. El trabajo también analiza la incidencia de las redes sociales en el aula, su uso educativo y la seguridad en Internet. (EuropaPress)

Paras tapa oppia yksilöllisesti: PLE | Sometek - oppiminen ja työ 2.0 Verkko-opiskelun keskeinen lupaus on yksilöllisyyden lisääntyminen. Siihen kuuluvat mm. henkilökohtaiset oppimispolut, opiskelu omaan tahtiin ja itse valituilla välineillä. Kaikkein aidoimmillaan yksilöllisyys toteutuu henkilökohtaisissa oppimisympäristöissä (PLE = Personal Learning Environment) ja -oppimisverkostoissa (PLN = Personal Learning Network). Standardoidun opetuksen loppu Personalized Learning Foundation on yksi yksilöllisen oppimisen äänitorvi. Tuotantolinja vai räätälöity oppimiskokemus? Sellainen standardisoitu ja tehdasmaiseksikin luonnehdittu opetus, jossa kaikki oppijat saavat samat materiaalit, vastaavat samoihin kysymyksiin, ja suljetaan samaan tilaan asiantuntijaopettajan hallinnoimaa tietoa pänttäämään, on tullut tiensä päähän. 1900 -luvulla tällainen ”tuotantolinja” saattoi vielä toimia, mutta nykyisen työelämän haasteisiin se ei enää valmista. Knowmad luo oman polkunsa Mikä ihmeen PLE? Lopuksi vielä muutama sana omasta PLE:stäni. PLE vs LMS Tekemisen meininkiä!

Educators: Embrace Social Media What is up with teacher development and the fear of social media? So many educators are soaring into the next advent of learning, while others continue to lecture and talk at the kids, avoiding the digital tools that are so readily available. Yesterday, in a passing conversation discussing sharing of great resources, I asked a colleague if they knew what a PLN is? ”Huh?” she said. My world has become immersed in Twitter; I find it to be one of the single most important tools in my own daily professional development. I’d like to mention some of my educationally revered friends and give them a little plug since they have helped me grow. Now, don’t get me wrong… my friends on Twitter are more like colleagues. 25 Ways To Get The Most Out Of Twitter by Jeff Dunn (just posted yesterday so we must have had some mental telepathy going on.) the founder of Edudemic, states that, Twitter may very well be the single most important tool for teachers right now. Here’s what I think:

Social Media as a Learning Tool by Joan McCullough on Prezi Summify - Aprender y enseñar en la cultura digital / Inés Dussel VII Foro Latinoamericano de Educación / Experiencias y aplicaciones en el aula. Aprender y enseñar con nuevas tecnologíasDocumento Básico / Fundación Santillana La presencia de las nuevas tecnologías en las aulas ya no tiene vuelta atrás. Si hasta hace unos años las autoridades y los docentes podían pensar que los medios digitales debían restringirse a algunas horas por semana o a algunos campos de conocimiento, hoy es difícil, si no imposible, ponerle límites a su participación en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Este diagnóstico general de expansión de las nuevas tecnologías debe matizarse en varios aspectos. Un segundo aspecto a destacar es que la expansión de las nuevas tecnologías en las aulas nos dice poco respecto a cómo y para qué se las usa. Un tercer aspecto tiene que ver con la forma en que se piensa este salto tecnológico, que no hay dudas que tiene características arrolladoras en su velocidad y tasa de crecimiento.

23 Resources about Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) Part of the Cool Sites series For the past year, I have researched the what, who, when, how, and why of Personal/Professional/Passionate Learning Networks (PLNs).

e-learning, el "profe difital" La capacitación a través de soportes electrónicos no sólo se extiende entre las universidades, sino también pisa fuerte en las instituciones. Entre sus virtudes, permite presentar contenido de manera interactiva a través de fotos, videos, infografías y animaciones. Las empresas destacan que ahorra costos al permitir superar barreras geográficas. Está claro que el aprendizaje a través de soportes electrónicos se instaló con fuerza en una sociedad cada vez más digitalizada. Apuntalado por soportes básicamente interactivos como infográficos, fotos, videos, textos en formato PDF y PPT, animaciones, simulaciones y hasta juegos, “el e-learning no reemplaza ni al maestro ni al libro, sino que lo complementa”, dicen quienes saben.
