20 Education Administrator Blogs It’s not easy being a school administrator. As leader of your school or department, it may be difficult to find peers you can confide in, discuss challenges or get insights. That’s why it’s great to tap into the opinions, knowledge and research of education administrator blogs. Most of these blogs are written for and by administrators, and can open up a conversation and help you connect with others who, like you, work to provide the best educational opportunities for your students. Others blogs are written from people who aren’t in the trenches, and can provide a different, but necessary perspective.

6 Ways to Learn Collaboratively with iPads You’ve heard “collaboration” repeatedly referenced as an important 21st century skill. With built-in interfaces for connectivity, mobile devices such as iPads offer a wide variety of alternatives for people wanting to connect and work together. Collaboration can take many forms in an educational context and you may want to consider different tools depending on your specific objectives. Here’s a list of some common collaborative activities and the tools and apps you might want to consider for each one. 1. Learning by Sharing Learning starts when you process new information. Synchronous sharing: The ideal classroom environment is one that fosters collaborative learning. Asynchronous sharing: If you want students to share and access content outside class then consider setting up a cloud service such as Google Drive or Evernote where they can upload and share content. Social networking: Another approach might be to create a digital class magazine based upon content shared by students. 2. 3.
Experiencias educativas con Realidad Aumentada (I): Infantil y Primaria Hace unos meses publiqué en este blog Cómo crear Realidad Aumentada, una entrada que generó bastante interés y que me ha animado a preparar esta nueva publicación. Y es que cada vez son más los docentes que se aventuran a implementar actividades en el aula haciendo uso de esta tecnología. En esta entrada voy a recoger algunas de estas experiencias, en especial aquellas que van más allá de utilizar un programa o aplicación cerrada y se lanzan a crear ellos mismos junto a sus alumnos (dependiendo de la edad de éstos) los contenidos en RA. Realidad Aumentada en Infantil Valdespartera es cultura Esta experiencia la llevó a cabo hace ya dos años Domingo Santabárbara con sus alumnos de 1º de E.I. del C.E.I.P Valdespartera 2 de Zaragoza. El proyecto consistía en trabajar la Escultura a través de la RA con una escultura representativa del barrio donde se encuentra la escuela. Villalba en tu mano Las hermanas Sara y Marta Reina han aplicado a sus clases la RA en múltiples ocasiones. Para acabar
Ramblings from the digital classroom: One classroom - one ipad Sadly our class set of iPads has been taken away from us and reassigned to Heads of Departments to use, I suspect, largely as personal management systems. I have had one iPad since November and this recent reassignment of the school's class set of iPads has got me thinking about how my colleagues can use their iPad for more than managing their time and reading online. Of course, many schools are now embracing new technology and have gone down the route of 1:1 iPads. This has not been the case for me (yet) but I have still been able to use my iPad creatively in my classes. I have been free with the iPad I have been given. I have always taken the line that I am lucky that school gave me the iPad to use and I wanted to repay the gesture by ensuring that the pupils I taught also benefitted from it. In the first instance I have handed my iPad to one or two pupils to do research on the internet. It is even possible to download kahoot.it as an app.
Cómo crear Realidad Aumentada #RA usando reconocimiento facial Metaio Creator es un interesante programa de creación de recursos y apps de Realidad Aumentada. La versión gratuíta es limitada, pero puede servirnos para algún proyecto educativo. Cómo veréis, se puede crear un efecto bastante bonito desde nuestro PC o Mac sin saber programar. El reconocimiento facial de Metaio Creator está en fase beta. Se trata sólo de una de las posibilidades del programa. También están los más tradicionales activadores: una imagen, un objeto, un entorno... En primer lugar, previo registro, debemos bajar e instalar el programa (gratis) desde la web de la empresa alemana Metaio. Con la versión demo podremos programar sólo 2 elementos seguibles y 2 efectos de Realidad Aumentada. Nuestras creaciones serán incorporadas a un canal en la nube. Una vez colgada la RA, el programa nos genera un código QR para ser leído con el visualizador Junaio (iOS, android). Podéis ver el proceso de creación en el siguiente videotutorial: ¿Queréis probarlo? ¡Feliz inicio de curso!
Six tips for the successful online teacher Image from Openclipart. The other day I was listening to a Technology and Education Today podcast (Smith and Crawford, 2012) where the presenters were discussing an article called “Six Tips for the Successful Online Teacher” (Rose, 2012). As I have just recently started in a role as an online facilitator, I was particularly interested in this topic and how it related to my own experiences so far. So for this blog post I would like to briefly touch on the six points identified in the article. 1. The point the author is making here is to warn online facilitators of the impersonal nature that can sometimes exist in an online environment. 2. The point made here is that it is easy for an online facilitator to misunderstand students when the non-verbal component of a conversation is removed. 3. 4. I love this one. 5. 6.
