6th Plymouth e-Learning Conference – Day #2 « Colligo: Reflections of a Learning Technologist. Professor Stephen Heppell’s inspiring and humorous keynote, set the tone for the Day #2 of the 6th Plymouth e-Learning Conference. With being unable to stay for Day #3 due to other commitments, I was keen to make the most of Day #2 and continue to build on what I had learned, and the new ideas that I’d developed, over the course of the first day. In particular, Stephen looked at a range of learning spaces that exist in schools, colleges, Higher Education (HE) and elsewhere, and sought to help the audience visualise what they might look like in the future.

In a world of new, social and digital media, I was struck by one Stephen’s closing items, which focused What is the equivalent to a 1,500 word assignment? The suggested he put forward were: Further to this, the question that I feel that (I) need (to) answer(ing) are: How can we encourage academic to take this approach? My final session attended was Mark Power (@markpower) and James Clay’s (@jamesclay) session Mobile Web Applications.

Quandary is an application for creating Web-based Action Mazes. An Action Maze is a kind of interactive case-study; the user is presented with a situation, and a number of choices as to a course of action to deal with it. On choosing one of the options, the resulting situation is then presented, again with a set of options. Working through this branching tree is like negotiating a maze, hence the name "Action Maze".

Action mazes can be used for many purposes, including problem-solving, diagnosis, procedural training, and surveys/questionnaires. All of these types of use are easier to understand by example than they are to explain, so here are some example exercises. Quandary is only available for Windows (although it also works perfectly on Wine under Linux). The Quandary site has now been moved to the University of Victoria. PLN Research 2010: Why have one?

How To Drag and Drop Images In Google Docs ‹ Edudemic. Source One of the biggest benefits to using Microsoft Word instead of Google Docs has been the drag and drop interface. Simply plop an image file onto your Word .doc and, like magic, it usually appears ready to be tweaked and prodded. If you did that in Google Docs, well, you’d be outta luck.

Until now. When writing a document, it often helps to augment text with images and diagrams. But sometimes the exact image you need is on your desktop and you just want to add it to your document quickly. Classroom 2.0 LIVE! - Home. Create Apps - Create a Toolbar | Conduit.

Teacher innovation gets royal treatment | Community. Microsoft competition sees resourcefulness and achievement in classrooms around the country By Meris Stansbury, Associate Editor Read more by Meris Stansbury August 2nd, 2010 Seventeen teams of educators gathered in Washington, D.C., for Microsoft's 2010 Innovative Educators Forum. In what could be called a 21st-century teachers’ fair, Microsoft chose a select group of educators to participate in the company’s annual Innovative Education Forum (IEF)—a showcase of the best teacher-created projects that incorporate 21st-century skills and effective uses of education technology. Now in its sixth year, the IEF was held in Washington, D.C., last week and hosted 17 teacher teams from 10 states. In an ironic twist from the usual student-centered fair, teachers were the ones who lined the walls of a room crawling with judges, standing anxiously by their billboards, scotch-taped visuals, and laptop screens.

The theme for the this year’s U.S. Examples of some of the teacher projects included: Holidays Halloween Scrapbooks.

Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet. The Myth of Charter Schools by Diane Ravitch. Waiting for “Superman” a film directed by Davis Guggenheim Ordinarily, documentaries about education attract little attention, and seldom, if ever, reach neighborhood movie theaters. Davis Guggenheim’s Waiting for “Superman” is different. It arrived in late September with the biggest publicity splash I have ever seen for a documentary.

Not only was it the subject of major stories in Time and New York, but it was featured twice on The Oprah Winfrey Show and was the centerpiece of several days of programming by NBC, including an interview with President Obama. Two other films expounding the same arguments—The Lottery and The Cartel—were released in the late spring, but they received far less attention than Guggenheim’s film. His reputation as the director of the Academy Award–winning An Inconvenient Truth, about global warming, contributed to the anticipation surrounding Waiting for “Superman,” but the media frenzy suggested something more. The situation is dire, the film warns us. ELR Thesaurus Terms: Numeric Values. Dimensions of a Learning Network ~ Stephen's Web.
