Leveling Up Updates Support the n00bs: Community Design for Inclusivity A common topic of discussion among our team of Leveling Up researchers is how communities maintain different barriers to entry. Every community, be it an online forum for Worldwide Wrestling enthusiasts, One Direction fangirls, or Starcraft II players, has its own etiquette and sets of rules for entering the community and becoming a full participant. But for platforms that wish to continually attract a new and engaged user base, designers must think through how to minimize barriers to entry. In essence, lea The Powerful Combination of Interests and Peer Culture The connected learning model emphasizes the importance of peer culture and interests in fueling members’ participation and learning in the rich activities and opportunities these communities create.

Presentation Zen: Videos to help you rethink education, learning, & school | Leadership for Mobile Learning Pédagogie + Numérique = Apprentissages 2.0 (dossier) L’Institut Français de l’Éducation publie un dossier complet d’actualité veille et analyses (n°79, novembre 2012) intitulé Pédagogie + Numérique = Apprentissages 2.0 (21 pages, en pdf). Questions centrales de ce document : quelle est l’efficacité du numérique en terme d’impact pour les apprentissages ? Y a-t-il une motivation renouvelée chez les apprenants ? Quelles solutions technologiques peuvent soutenir efficacement les apprentissages, et quelle pédagogie doit être mise en place pour profiter pleinement des possibilités offertes par le numérique ? Le dossier a été coordonné par Rémi Thibert (chargé d’études et de recherche à l’IFé). Numérique et apprentissage : analyse Le dossier Pédagogie + Numérique = Apprentissages 2.0 met en avant une sélection de travaux sur les usages du numérique dans les établissements scolaires du secondaire pour établir une analyse distanciée du rapport des technologies de l’information et de la communication à l’apprendre.

"Connected Learning" Connected Learning: Designed to ‘mine the new social, digital domain’ SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Citing an ever-widening gap between in-school and out-of-school learning experiences, a team of researchers today introduced a model of learning -- ‘connected learning’ -- that taps into the rich new world of information, knowledge, and online collaboration available to youth and learners. The connected learning model, which is anchored in a large body of research on how youth are using social media, the internet and digital media to learn and develop expertise, also seeks to respond to deepening fears of a class-based “equity” gap in education that, without intervention, is likely to be accelerated by disproportionate access to technology and new forms of knowledge sharing. Interest-powered...Research has repeatedly shown that when a subject is personally interesting and relevant, learners achieve much higher-order learning outcomes. ...and the embrace of three key design principles: S.
Ten1903Hiv2013 TEN-1903Hiv2013 : Les TIC dans l'enseignement secondaire Le cadre théorique du cours Nous nous réclamons du constructivisme communautaire, où les apprenant(e)s s'engagent au-delà d'une simple élaboration de leurs propres connaissances pour participer activement à la création de connaissances qui serviront à d'autres apprenant(e)s. Selon ce cadre théorique, les apprenant(e)s ne font que suivre un cours ; par leur travail, ils contribueront à l'amélioration du cours, de l'école ou de l'université, et idéalement, à la discipline elle-même.

Videos to help you rethink education, learning, & school Having children causes one to (re)think seriously about education and the role of school. Education obviously is the most powerful thing in the world. And yet the old Mark Twain chestnut — "I never let school get in the way of my education" — speaks to the core of my own thinking regarding education. I am not an expert in education by any means, but like almost everyone, I have strong ideas based on my personal experiences going through formal, mass schooling. Seth Godin on EducationIn this short interview, Seth Godin sums up the essence of the problem. Seth Godin on how schools teach kids to aim lowIn this short clip Seth Godin says something concerning the "lizard brain" and our fear of taking risks that reminded me of the world of live stand-up presentations in work or academia.

6 Education SlideShares To Inspire, Improve And Innovate Your School One of the things I love about the modern web is the willingness of talented people to share their amazing content for free. Online communities that encourage individuals to share their work in return for broad exposure and the respect and credibility that this builds. One of the strongest and most vibrant communities fostering this culture is SlideShare. SlideShare is a priceless resource and one that is often overlooked when searching and creating content on the web. For example, I am part of a small group that meets regularly to share ideas. With this in mind, here are six great educational SlideShares that you may like to share with your school audience. Re-envisioning Modern Pedagogy: Educators As Curators This very sharp and well designed set of slides focuses on curation of content for students and teachers. How I Flipped My Classroom A very hands-on slide deck, this presentation delves into the process that teacher, Michelle Pacansky-Brock, used to flip her classroom.
Digital Badges for Learning I'm excited to be here to celebrate the launch of the 2011 competition, and its potential to propel a quantum leap forward in education reform. We're on the verge of harnessing education's power to unleash the full measure of human potential. I want to commend the MacArthur Foundation's thoughtful and forward-thinking approach to educational philanthropy. And, I applaud the collaborative partnership that makes possible this groundbreaking competition, now in its fourth year. The MacArthur Foundation and its partners – Mozilla and HASTAC, hosted by Duke University and the University of California Humanities Research Institute – are working together to provide venture capital for technology innovations that can dramatically improve educational access and quality, in America and around the globe. This year's efforts will expand the hub of digital media projects and products, and the record of success begun in 2007. This administration has a systemic, cradle-to-career vision for reform.
Letting Fourth Graders Solve the World’s Problems Culture Teaching Strategies John Hunter puts all the problems of the world on a 4′x5′ plywood board and lets his 4th-graders solve them. In this TED Talk, Hunter, who’s been named one of Time Magazine’s education activists for 2012, explains how his World Peace Game engages schoolkids, and why the complex lessons it teaches — spontaneous, and always surprising — go further than classroom lectures can. Students must deconstruct a 13-page crisis document with interlocking problems like ethnic and minority tensions, chemical and nuclear spills, oil spills, environmental disasters, water rights disputes, breakaway republics, famine, endangered species and global warming. In the process of solving these problems in class, Hunter says he hands over the reigns to students. “It’s a serious question: who is really in charge? A documentary, World Peace and Other Fourth-Grade Achievements, offers a look into how the game is played in class, and how it influences the dynamic of teachers and students.
