Learning Designer – per progettare bene le attività didattiche Learning Designer è stato creato dal London Institute of Education. Questo tool si propone di aiutare gli insegnanti a tenere il passo con l’innovazione tecnologica, a costruire le attività didattiche in modo che siano efficaci e ad usare la tecnologia per far sì che ogni studente possa raggiungere il proprio potenziale di apprendimento. Learning Designer dà il via ad una nuova generazione di strumenti di pianificazione della lezione. Esso fornisce un insieme di strumenti interattivi web-based progettati per aiutare gli insegnanti ad integrare la tecnologia nel loro insegnamento. Cos’è Learning Designer Learning Designer è uno strumento web-based a supporto della creazione e condivisione di progetti di apprendimento (ad esempio lesson-plan) e a sostegno dell’integrazione della tecnologia nel processo di insegnamento/apprendimento. Come funziona Learning Design Per aggiungere un tipo di apprendimento è possibile utilizzare un elenco a discesa e specificare: Mi piace:
School Librarians Want More Tech—and Bandwidth | SLJ 2015 Tech Survey Photo by Bob Gathany IPads, maker spaces, 3-D printers, and coding skills top the tech wish lists for 1,259 school librarians across the country, according to School Library Journal’s (SLJ) 2015 Technology Survey. Educators are hungry to bring their students even more—whether that’s robotics classes or Arduino kits. “New computers, tablets, video equipment, all digital tools, instruction on usage, [and] enough bandwidth” count among the must-haves for Andrea Oshima, a school librarian at Aviara Oaks Elementary School in Carlsbad, CA. Currently, 64 percent of school librarians consider themselves tech leaders in their schools—and 28 percent feel that their tech skills afford them increased job security. While school librarians are eager to expand their tech tools, they have concerns about adequate infrastructure and connectivity, budgets, and administrative support. Supporting project creation Applications However, social media access is still not allowed at some schools. Need for bandwidth

In fact, ever since I acquired the first apps for my iPhone, I’ve adopted the admittedly odd habit of pondering which apps I would “load” onto my students. If, indeed, high school students were smartphones or iPads, I would do my very best to fully load them with the critical skills and tools they need to become information- and media-fluent adults. Like many of you, I’m often blessed with the opportunity to mentor preservice teacher librarians. A former nurse who also volunteered with us as a parent, Nora is nearing the completion of her Masters of Education program at Arcadia University in Philadelphia and will soon receive her teacher-librarian credential. But there are gaps, missing competencies critical for contemporary practice. With the understanding that this list will need revisiting every couple of years, here are my nonnegotiable requirements for 2011:
