We Don't Like "Projects" So I recently quit my job and started my own school with the support of a local media company, the second largest school district in Iowa, and a groundswell of community interest. Our philosophy boils down to a fairly liberal project-based learning environment. As I began the marketing push to enroll students, I uncovered some frankly stunning assumptions that many students have about learning: The word "project" is not a happy word. I'm not complaining -- in fact, these assumptions are the reason that I struck out on my own in the first place -- but I was flat-out surprised by their ubiquity. Let’s break each assumption down. 1. The word "project" gets thrown around quite a bit and literally could mean any person, place or thing depending on who's doing the talking. In short, we seem to have students who believe that projects are for assessment purposes only. To appeal to the concreteness of most teenagers, we've begun sharing examples, workflows and projects with potential applicants.
come usare Imovie How can you use iMovie in the classroom? Well, you can use it for just about “…everything from slow motion videography to documentation, to presentations and everything in-between.” Here are 13 ways to use iMovie in the classroom from edapps.ca to explore. Documentation : Use the camera and microphone to record student work and performances. You might record students reading, to track progress, video record a student playing a short riff in band class, or record a performance in Phys.Ed, or pretty much any other course. Peer Feedback : Use video as a great medium to get students to begin to provide each other with feedback. Self Reflection : Students learning to be self aware and provide self-feedback is one of the most effective things we can teach our students. Creating Movies : Youtube is the most popular and powerful search engine for kids, it is how they communicate. Photo Essay : Photo-essays are powerful ways to convey messages through visuals and text. (source www.edapps.ca )

India's Premier Education Technology Community IKT Förra veckan drog vi igång igen efter sportlovet! =D Härliga ungar som glatt studsade runt i vår fina lärmiljö. Det gällde att fånga upp dem igen, hitta lugnet och samla tankar. Vi började morgonsamlingen med uppgiften; Skriv allt du är bra på; egenskaper hos dig själv, fritidsintressen, ämneskunskaper, lärstilar, kompisegenskaper osv Fundera sedan på vad t ex "jag är bra på att pyssla" innebär. När de är klara med sitt "Detta-är-jag-bra-på-brev" så ska de fnula på hur de kan använda dessa egenskaper i sin skolvardag. Sen var det dags för matte med år 7. Vi har arbetat med bråk innan lovet och ska fortsätta med procent. För att påminna om de begrepp och metoder som vi har arbetat med så satt jag mig ner och planerade en kort repetition innan vi går vidare. Hmm... kändes inte helt rätt.... Getkahoot.com har varit ett av de verktyg som jag har lagt i min "detta-ska-jag-testa"-länkar och nu kändes det mycket lämpligt. Man kan ha mellan 2-4st svarsalternativ. Sen trycker man på Launch.
How Has The Internet Changed Education? User Rating: Details Published on Wednesday, 29 May 2013 15:14 Written by Sahiba Pahwa Hits: 106 How Has The Internet Impacted Education? Internet that started as a discovery to view and share some private files over an organization has now spread its wings to all over the world. Surely there has been a lot of changes internet has brought in the growth and evolution of education. Though social media like any other thing has pros and cons but today, over 90 percent of the faculties are using social media in courses they’re teaching. As the times have changed people’s preferences have also changed, where before they liked the usual written material and learning through class walls now only 1 out of 3 academic leaders consider online learning inferior to face to face instruction and 8 out of 10 faculty report using online video for class. Gradually many colleges and universities are offering online courses. Not only the students but the teachers and faculties also use online sources. Img Src
