Educational Networking: The Important Role Web 2.0 Will Play in Education TEFL Course - TESOL Certification - Teaching english as a foreign language 13 reasons to use educational technology in lessons Sometimes you need to convince colleagues to think about using educational technology in their lessons, or to identify where in their scheme of work they could incorporate it. This list is a starting point: you may find one or two points that would "resonate" with your co-worker, and grab his or her attention. Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. Contribute to the Review of the National Curriculum -- especially if you think ICT is important!
The death of computing : Articles : Future of Computing : BCS Neil McBride says computer science was populated by mathematicians and physicists but now virtual robots can be created by eight-year olds without needing programming, logic or discrete mathematics skills. Does that mean we have a dying discipline? We all know there's a crisis in university computer science departments. At the same time the computing unit of funding has fallen. Dropping numbers of A Level students, a view that IT is a job for geeks and social misfits and a perception that there’s nothing interesting in computer science doesn’t help. And the problem's global. In such dire circumstances, it's tempting to hanker after the glory days when computer science ruled, departments were full, and students flocked to a leading edge discipline where the ideas were fresh. It's easy to be nostalgic about the days when the income from computer science subsidised other departments and computing was the Prince of the university not the Cinderella. Something significant has changed.

How to Learn Any Language in 3 Months The Okano Isao judo textbook I used to learn Japanese grammar. Post reading time: 15 minutes. Language learning need not be complicated. Principles of cognitive neuroscience and time management can be applied to attain conversational fluency (here defined as 95%+ comprehension and 100% expressive abilities) in 1-3 months. Some background on my language obsession, from an earlier post on learning outside of classes: From the academic environments of Princeton University (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian) and the Middlebury Language Schools (Japanese), to the disappointing results observed as a curriculum designer at Berlitz International (Japanese, English), I have sought for more than 10 years to answer a simple question: why do most language classes simply not work? The ideal system — and progression — is based on three elements in this order… 1. Effectiveness, adherence, and efficiency refer to the “what”, “why”, and “how” of learning a target language, respectively. Ganbare!
Web 2.0 Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Cartographie sensible du web 2.0 L'expression « Web 2.0 » désigne l'ensemble des techniques, des fonctionnalités et des usages du World Wide Web qui ont suivi la forme originelle du web[1]. Elle concerne en particulier les interfaces permettant aux internautes ayant peu de connaissances techniques de s'approprier de nouvelles fonctionnalités du web. Les internautes peuvent d'une part contribuer à l'échange d'informations et interagir (partager, échanger, etc.) de façon simple, à la fois au niveau du contenu et de la structure des pages, et d'autre part entre eux, créant notamment le Web social[2]. L'internaute devient, grâce aux outils mis à sa disposition, une personne active sur la toile. L'expression « Web 2.0 » utilisée par Dale Dougherty (en) en 2003, diffusée par Tim O'Reilly en 2004 et consolidée en 2005 avec l'exposé de position « What Is Web 2.0 »[3] s'est imposée à partir de 2007.

City Brights: Howard Rheingold : Crap Detection 101 “Every man should have a built-in automatic crap detector operating inside him.” Ernest Hemingway, 1954 The answer to almost any question is available within seconds, courtesy of the invention that has altered how we discover knowledge – the search engine. Materializing answers from the air turns out to be the easy part – the part a machine can do. The real difficulty kicks in when you click down into your search results. Unless a great many people learn the basics of online crap detection and begin applying their critical faculties en masse and very soon, I fear for the future of the Internet as a useful source of credible news, medical advice, financial information, educational resources, scholarly and scientific research. The first thing we all need to know about information online is how to detect crap, a technical term I use for information tainted by ignorance, inept communication, or deliberate deception. Today, just as it was back then, “Who is the author?” Resources:
