Creando vídeos docentes para YouTube con herramientas (casi) gratuitas (por Fernando Coloma) A la hora de crear un vídeo de un tutorial, me cuenta Fernando Coloma que resulta muy útil conocer que con CamStudio (para grabar el vídeo del escritorio) y VidLogo para colocar un pequeño logotipo en, por ejemplo, la esquina inferior derecha del video es más que suficiente. Luego lo subimos a YouTube y lo editamos para colocar alguna anotación sobre el mismo que permita al alumno comprender mejor el vídeo. A continuación mostramos un ejemplo de vídeo realizado con los programas citados y (las anotaciones sobre el vídeo se han hecho también en YouTube): Además, para ilustrar un poco más el tema, la siguiente imagen muestra la pantalla principal del programa CamStudio. Y por último, os dejo aquí la imagen de la pantalla principal del programa VidLogo, el cual también resulta muy fácil de usar: PD: Sí estimado Profesor X, VidLogo no es gratuito... pero es tan sencillo de usar que me parecía un delito no mencionarlo.

'Not Worth It': Why NC College Students Are Turning Away From Teaching UNC-Chapel Hill senior Jailen Wallis has always been tempted to become a high school English teacher. She's cutting across campus on her way to her work-study at the library. A literature junkie, she loves the idea of teaching young people to enjoy reading and writing as much as she does. But Wallis will graduate in May with degrees in sociology and English—not education. "Teaching in North Carolina right now is not worth it, unless you can’t imagine doing anything other than teaching," Wallis explained. Jess Clark reports on North Carolina's diminishing number of graduates pursuing teaching. Wallis’ mother is a teacher, and Wallis knows what challenges of the job are, and what the pay is. "It’s not a job that you leave at the end of the day at 4 or 4:30 or 5 or 5:30, or whenever you finish with all your staff meetings," she said. Wallis is not the only student who feels that way about the profession. "There’s absolutely no incentive right now to go into it with your masters," Wallis said.

Institute for Democratic Education in America | IDEA Gluten-Free Japanese Milk Bread – the softest bread ever — Gluten-Free on a Shoestring This is about to knock your gluten free socks off: a loaf of super soft gluten free bread that is easy to make, and doesn’t intimidate (I’m here for you!). BOOM! Have you ever heard of Japanese Water Roux (Tangzhong)? But if you make this supersoft gluten free bread that stays fresh forever, you might just see that I’m tons of fun in the kitchen. This is what it looks like. To make the water roux, I placed 47 grams (about 1/3 cup) all-purpose gluten-free flour and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and whisked to combine well. Then let it cool. The dough is shaggy. Then roll each piece out into a disk about 1/2 inch thick. * I once had an editor — not my esteemed book editor whom I adore — tell me that the word “shaggy” is not a proper term for describing bread dough. Loosely stack the folded pieces of dough in a loaf pan. Spray the loaf with warm water, cover the pan with plastic wrap and place the pan in a warm, draft-free place to rise until it’s about 150% its original size. Prep time:

TED Blog IFLA Trend Report Cutting master’s pay spells trouble for graduate programs, teachers - Elon University's News Organization Print Friendly For Jessica Mahon, getting a master’s degree went hand in hand with becoming a teacher. But Mahon is from New York, where a master’s degree is required for public school teachers to become fully certified. Mahon is lucky. “I know probably half a dozen or a dozen people who are looking to leave,” she said. Sweeping changes to the North Carolina education system passed by the General Assembly in July 2013 dealt another blow to teacher salaries by eliminating pay raises for teachers with advanced degrees. Before the new legislation took effect in December 2013, teachers with master’s degrees could earn about 10 percent more than teachers with only a bachelor’s degree. North Carolina’s stingy salary for teachers has been discouraging even with her master’s pay raise, Mahon said. “As a teacher here, it feels like they don’t value what we’re doing,” she said. New York’s teaching climate differs exponentially from North Carolina’s. Adapting to decreased enrollment

Atlantis Remixed Transformational play involves the use of virtual worlds to help people learn and grow in a context where they can fail safely. Theory At its core, transformational play is a learning and empowerment philosophy that is grounded in the belief that each one of us is capable of, wants to, and deserves to achieve, great things. Unlike any other form of curriculum, these games offer entire worlds in which learners are central, important participants; a place where the actions of a ten-year old can have significant impact on the world; and a place in which what you know is directly related to what you are able to do and, ultimately, who you become. The theory highlights relations among the three interconnected elements of person with intentionality, content with legitimacy, and context with consequentiality.

Tutkija: Tulevaisuuden kirjaston luksustuote on hiljaisuus - Kirjastolehti Tulevaisuudentutkija Mika Pantzar uskoo pölyisten kirjojen hiljaiseen voimaan. Mika Pantzar innostui tulevaisuudentutkimuksesta koulupoikana, kun isoveli sai lahjaksi Osmo A. Wiion kirjan Tieteen eturintamasta (1969). ”Luin sen, kuten myös kaikki lähikirjastoni kiinnostavat kirjat. Pantzar ei usko suuriin ja harvoihin kirjastokeskittymiin, vaan tiheään verkostoon. ”Kun haastatellaan lähes ketä tahansa kuuluisaa ihmistä, hän muistelee lähikirjastosta löytämäänsä tärkeää kirjaa, joka näytti elämälle suunnan.” Pantzar tunnetaan muun muassa siitä, että hän ennusti kumisaappaiden katoamisen marketeista. Eivätkö edes robotit valtaa kirjastoja? ”Minusta koko robottiromantiikka on huvittavaa. Pantzar uskoo kirjaston henkilökunnan voimaan, koska hyvien kirjojen vinkkaamiseen tarvitaan joko kirjastotäti tai -setä. Tiedon hakeminen sen sijaan muuttuu. ”Sanoin vuosikymmen sitten eräälle informaatikolle, että sinun ammattiasi ei ole enää 10 vuoden päästä, vaan tieto googletetaan. Kivijalat romahtivat
