Puppet Pals 2: School Edition untitled Videoscribe Under våren hittade jag appen Videoscribe. En app där man kan göra egen animerad film. Du kan skapa filmer där man ser en hand som ritar och skriver olika saker. Den finns också att använda på datorn men är då mycket dyrare att köpa. Det kan vara lite svårt till att börja med att få till det som man vill ha det så jag rekommenderar att först titta på instruktionsfilmerna som Sparkol har gjort. Det finns många bilder med i programmet och det är också lätt att lägga till egna bilder/foton från kamerarullen eller till exempel Dropbox. När jag har gjort en del presentationsfilmer har jag lagt till berättarröst. Provade att använda den tillsammans med mina elever i åk 1-3 i våras.

SAMR success is NOT about Tech | LEARNING & IPADS Quick refresh If you aren’t aware of the S.A.M.R. model (devised by Ruben R. Puentedura – @rubenrp) then in simple form it explains the common journey teachers go through when introducing technology. It’s popular for introducing iPads in schools. Quick version:Substitution: Do old paper task on deviceAugmentation: Do old paper task digitally but now using an extra app featureModification: Students benefit from the versatility and combine new digital tools for new outcomesRedefinition: Students are collaborating and learning in ways previously not imagined Slow Progress Even in my school, the speed at which the staff as a whole move through the SAMR model from substituting tasks for their digital equivalent to redefining how they help students learn is slow, sometimes seeming to stall completely. New Focus I was thinking today that I had to make it clear that competency with technology is not the first issue you should worry about if you want to make SAMR progress. 1. 2. 3. 4. Like this:
Flippa klassrummet Det är säkert många som har hört talas om Flipping the Classroom. Jag har nyligen startat en Facebookgrupp som heter Flippa klassrummet. Om du är intresserad av att flippa klassrummet så är du välkommen dit för utbyte av tankar och diskussioner i ämnet. Om du är nyfiken av vad ett flippat klassrum innebär så rekommenderar jag dig först att se den här föreläsningen av Salman Khan. Andra bra länkar för att lära sig mer av är Vonsild Skole i Danmark och Daniel Barker blogg. Det flippade klassrummet är INTE: • en synonym för online videos. • att ersätta lärare med videos. • en online-kurs. • elever som arbetar utan struktur. • elever som tillbringar hela lektionen med att stirra på en datorskärm. • elever som arbetar isolerat. Det vända klassrummet ÄR: • ett sätt att öka samverkan och individuell tid mellan elever och lärare. • en miljö där elever tar ansvar för och är medvetna om sitt eget lärande. • ett klassrum där läraren är "guiden vid sidan" istället för "vise på scenen".
What Happens When Teens Try to Disconnect From Tech For Three Days Being without a phone can be an incapacitating feeling, possibly worse than leaving a wallet at home. Many adults can remember an analog era of living without a mobile phone. But for young digital natives, taking a break from the phone, where they live and socialize, can induce all kinds of emotions. Recently, a line of teenage boys were frantically sending last-minute texts and posting to Facebook one final time before grabbing a manilla envelope and sealing their devices inside. The Tech Timeout Academic Challenge was taken by boys and girls in grades 4 through 12 at Convent & Stuart Hall in San Francisco — along with some teachers and parents — as part of this private school’s attempt to implement its one-to-one iPad program. “This is going to be really hard for me. Students react to the technology-free life. “A lot of what we are targeting with our tech timeout is the interruptions of social media and the pingings and the notifications that interrupt attention,” Levin said.
