UNESCO Policy Guidelines for Mobile Learning UNESCO believes that mobile technologies can expand and enrich educational opportunities for learners in diverse settings. Yet most ICT in education policies were articulated in a ‘pre-mobile’ era and they do not seek to maximize the learning potentials of mobile technology. The rare policies that do reference mobile devices tend to treat them tangentially or ban their use in schools. Today, a growing body of evidence suggests that ubiquitous mobile devices – especially mobile phones and, more recently, tablet computers – are being used by learners and educators around the world to access information, streamline administration and facilitate learning in new and innovative ways. UNESCO’s newly developed Policy guidelines for mobile learning should be embedded within existing ICT in education policies, which many governments already have in place.
Miltä oppiminen näyttää tulevaisuudessa? Oppiminen kehittynyt hitaasti Millaista oppiminen on tulevaisuudessa? Ei ainakaan samanlaista kuin nykyään. Viime vuosikymmenien huomattavasta teknologisesta kehityksestä huolimatta opetusmetodit ovat säilyneet hyvin samanlaisina – lukuunottamatta tiedonhaun ja oppimisympäristöjen siirtymistä osittain verkkoon. Teknologinen kehitys vie meidät ubiikkiyhteiskuntaan Tulevaisuuden oppiminen näyttää kuitenkin hyvin erilaiselta. Turun yliopiston professori Sirkka Heinosen mukaan tämän hetkisen kehityksen myös opetus mullistuu teknologian tuella. Uudenlainen oppiminen kokonaisvaltaista ja yksilöllistä Arjen esineiden oppiessa viestimään langattomasti ja sopeutuessa käyttäjiensä tarpeisiin, voimme sanoa elävämme ubiikkiyhteiskunnassa. Heinosen mukaan ihmiset oppivat tulevaisuudessa kaiken ikäisinä, sekä yksin että yhdessä, itse ja toisiltaan – sekä virtuaalisesti että fyysisesti. Oppiminen lähtee itsestä ja omasta kiinnostuksesta Asenteet esteenä uudenlaiselle oppimiselle
17 Ways Teachers Are Using iPhones In Education Think iPhones don’t belong in the classroom? Well, think again. Technology in higher education is going mobile, and smartphones are becoming more and more ingrained in daily life for faculty and students alike. At Education Dive, we have already looked at the role of Apple’s iPad in schools , as well as some of the major app releases that educations should be paying attention to. We know know Android phones are useful and that some schools are looking at Windows phones . Nevertheless, Apple still has a formidable app store, and colleges and universities are finding some brilliant ways to work the devices into tech initiatives. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
Tabletti opettajan työkaluna | I Padin käyttökokemuksia koulussa A Beginner's Guide To Mobile Learning Google reported in 2011 that smartphone sales are set to grow at a rate of 30 percent per year. These web-ready, video streaming, image capture devices are a lot of fun — and what’s more, they can align perfectly with your classroom’s goals. Check out these tips and teaching resources before you take your first steps into the portable version of eLearning. Organize Before You Invest The first step to mobile learning for many parents and educators is to get schools on board. Another option for schools is the “bring your own device” (BYOD) movement, which allows students to bring their own phones and devices to the classroom. Plan Your Curriculum Around The 4 Cs Of Mobile Learning Mobile learning goes way beyond a few tailored apps. Utilizing all four C’s of mobile learning can help you focus lesson plans and expand the way in which students use the devices. The ways you can utilize a mobile device are as varied as the capabilities for the device itself. 4 Educational Apps To Get Started
The 10 Skills Modern Teachers Must Have The above image is 8.5×11″ so you can print it out. PDF is available here . There’s been a lot of talk about 21st century learners, 21st century teachers, and connected classrooms. There’s a daily influx of new technology into your inbox and your classroom feels woefully behind the times even if you’re flipping your 1:1 iPad classroom that’s already online and part of a MOOC . What are modern teachers to do with all this jargon and techno-babble being thrown at them all day long? Simple. In my experience, I’ve seen teachers attempt to integrate 30 iPads into their classroom by handing them out and then trying to figure out which apps are worth using. In order to do this, you’ll need skills modern teachers must have. 1) Build Your PLN Whether you call it a ‘personal learning network’ or a ‘professional learning network’ is not important. 2) Establish Real Relationships Whether it’s online or offline, the ability to establish real relationships is critical to any modern teacher. 7) Slow Down
40 Simple Ways To Use A Smartphone In The Classroom So many ruminations on what smartphone technologies offer the wired classroom begin with some permutation of how, at first, smartphones are often the bane of teachers’ existence because they cause disruptions. This isn’t one of those ruminations. Let’s just go straight to the suggestions, shall we? Use educational apps:One of the simplest strategies for engaging students using smartphones involves taking advantage of the thousands of educational apps as supplements.Create educational apps:After familiarizing kiddos with properly navigating smartphone apps, challenge some of the more tech-oriented ones to design and develop their own; Stanford already offers an open-source class on the subject!
Flipped classroom, flipped teaching vai flipped learning? Flipped classroom -ajattelumalli on yksi tämän hetken kuumimmista pedagogisista puheenaiheista. Flipped-malli on yksi sulautuvan oppimisen toteutustapa, joka on perinteisesti ymmärretty videoiden hyödyntämisenä teoriaopetuksen metodina. Oppijat tutustuvat teoriaan itsenäisesti etänä, jolloin lähiopetukseen jää enemmän aikaa keskustelulle ja ongelmanratkaisulle. Malli on suomennettu tieto- ja viestintätekniikka opetuksessa Facebook-ryhmässä "käänteiset opetusmenetelmät" -malliksi. BETT-messuilla Lontoossa 31.1.2013 flipped class-ajatuksen pioneerit, yhdysvaltalaiset Aaron Sams ja Jonathan Bergmann, luennoivat opetusmallin kehittymisestä. Miksi flipped classroom -ajatusta pitäisi pohtia? Samsin ja Bergmannin mielestä aiheen tärkeyttä voidaan lähestyä kysymällä: "Mikä on paras tapa käyttää aikaa, kun opettaja on oppilaan kanssa kasvotusten?" Flipped-ajattelun kehittyminen teoriassa ja käytännössä 1. 2. Flipped-ajattelun seuraava kehitysvaihe oli arvioinnin kehittäminen. 3. 4. Pohdinta e-Oppi Oy
The Importance Of Mobile Learning In (And Out Of) The Classroom There has always been at least some sort of disconnect between how things are taught in a classroom and how things work in the ‘real world’. In some cases, the disconnect is very distinct (how many people took four years of high school language classes only to be able to barely introduce yourself in the language?). Many newer pedagogical models aim to be more practical (like Project Based Learning or Challenge Based Learning ). So it was interesting to take a look at some of the mobile trends (and specifically, the mobile workforce trends) highlighted in this handy infographic to see where education might best make use of mobile learning, since this is what our students will be working with when they enter the workforce. Smartphones and Tablet sales will soon take over laptop and desktop computer sales: Don’t stick just to books – why not let students use the technology they’ll need in the future?
6 Learning Methods Every 21st Century Teacher should Know After writing about the 14 techy concepts every teacher should know about, Educational Technology and Mobile Learning is providing you with a list of learning methods together with their definitions. Knowing about these methods and employing them in your classroom will definitely make a difference in your teaching practics. Check them out below and share with us what you think of them. Enjoy1-Inquiry-Based LearningThis is a learning process that is based on inquiry or asking questions. Through asking challenging questions learners get intrinsically motivated to start delving deeper to find answers for these questions and in doing so they are exploring new avenues of knowledge and insight.As you can see in the graphic below inquiry-based learning is a cyclical learning process composed of many different stages starting with asking questions and results in asking more questions.
