edu & tec | El sitio en la red de Jordi Adell Observaciones sobre el impacto de los servicios de detección de plagio en las universidades15 de abril de 2014(Traducción al castellano del informe original en catalán, publicado en la web del CENT). La Universitat Jaume I y otras universidades de nuestro entorno han estado considerando la integración de servicios de detección de plagio (SDP en adelante). Los SDP son sistemas informáticos diseñados para detectar similitudes en los textos y otros materiales presentados por los y las estudiantes para su evaluación. Existen sistemas comerciales y libres. Algunos de los más conocidos son Turnitin, Ephorus o Unkund. Para realizar su función, estos sistemas comparan de manera automatizada el texto en cuestión con millones de documentos accesibles en la Internet y con millones otros textos de su propia base de datos, formada por todos los envíos analizados anteriormente. Los SDP no están exentos de polémica. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Office of Educational Technology The Future of Learning — Learning {Re}imagined The Future of Learning What is the purpose of school & the role of EdTech? I was recently invited to give a keynote talk at Windays 16, a Microsoft sponsored event hosted on a beautiful island near Poreč, Croatia. The event brought together representatives from the business, education and government communities in Croatia to consider the future of work, the Croatian economy and the role of education. After my talk I was invited to give the following interview which is 9 minutes long where I discuss my thoughts on the future of learning, schools, the misuse of EdTech and the need to reimagine assessment and testing. Transcript I was really asking the audience to think about the purpose of school, why do we send our kids to school? There’s a constant tension within the education system. We need both. To put it another way, when I’ve hired software engineers, and I’ve hired a lot of them, I’m more interested in their ability to code than whether they’ve got a PhD from a big university.

Technology Lesson Plans K-5 Computer Lab Mikel Agirregabiria Free Technology for Teachers Nuevas andanzas de Profesor en la secundaria El otro día en clase de bachillerato estuvimos hablando de la literatura del siglo XIX y los grandes novelistas a que dio lugar. Para ellos eran nombres totalmente desconocidos Dostoievski, Dickens, Balzac, Stendhal, Tolstoi, Flaubert … Esto me sorprendió y me hizo tomar conciencia de dónde estamos y la tarea divulgadora que tenemos por delante, preparando a estos muchachos para la universidad … Hablamos de algunas obras excepcionales de estos escritores y tuvieron que buscar sus argumentos para exponerlos ante la clase lo que hicieron al día siguiente. Me preguntaron si yo las había leído todas, tengase en cuenta que hablábamos de Guerra y paz, Ana Karenina, Los hermanos Karamazov, Crimen y castigo, Madame Bovary, El rojo y el negro, La cartuja de Parma, novelas de Balzac, Dickens, Clarín, Galdós, Eça de Queiroz … No sé qué hubiera pasado si yo hubiera nacido en este tiempo. Estas son mis clases de literatura: un diálogo de dos tiempos distintos. Esto es lo que queda. (Fuente: olahjl2)
