Les TICE ne changent pas la pédagogie, elles invitent seulement à la questionner. On a trop souvent associé par lien de causalité les TICE et la pédagogie. Ainsi, il y aurait de nouvelles pédagogies avec les TICE. C’est devenu un allant de soi, presqu’un lieu commun en tout cas une évidence pour nombre de personnes, en particulier celles qui ne connaissent l’acte d’enseigner et d’apprendre qu’à partir de leur expérience d’enfance et de jeunesse. L’allant de soi parle de nouvelles pédagogie sans aller beaucoup plus loin, une enseignante expérimentant la tablette numérique dans sa classe récemment appelait cette nouvelle pédagogie de ses voeux. 1 – Interrogation des contenus à enseigner. L’enseignant est confronté à l’explosion exponentiel des nouveaux savoirs dans chacune des disciplines du fait des possibilités nouvelles permises par le numérique. 2 – Interrogation du groupe classe Face au groupe classe l’enseignant est traditionnellement un « apporteur ». 3 – Interrogation de l’espace de travail (dans et hors l’école) 4 – Interrogation de la relation humaine

Minecraft in the classroom Minecraft is a down loadable game from the Internet that costs around $40 for one license for a PC, there is a free iPad app (very basic, can’t save but good for learning on) or a $7.49 app for iPad (Phoebe assures me it is not as good as the online version but not bad). What is Minecraft? Wikipedia explains Minecraft as an open world game that has no specific goals for the player to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game. I’ve actually never played Minecraft but we do have an account that Phoebe and Lucy use. If you where looking to engage students in learning I think this would be an ideal tool. It costs money.I don’t know how to use it.It will be too much extra work to organise it.I don’t have time to learn something new at the moment.It looks great but it is not for me.and so on ….. But also consider: There will be a child in your class who can show others how to use Minecraft (give students leadership).
Chiffres clés : le marché des tablettes Les tablettes dans le monde d'unités La tablette désertée - Après une année 2016 en très fort repli, la situation ne s'est pas franchement stabilisée en 2017 avec un recul des livraisons de 6,5% à 163,5 millions d'unités. Alors certes, les ventes n'ont pas plongé comme un an auparavant, mais elles n'en restent pas moins nettement en baisse. Au cours des quatre derniers trimestres, les livraisons ont ainsi reculé de -8,1%, -3,4, -5,4% et -7,9%. D'autres consommateurs estiment pouvoir amplement de satisfaire d'un smartphone, dont la taille de l'écran n'a eu de cesse de grandir et constitue donc un support adapté à la consommation de contenus. Pour autant, la chute de la tablette classique ne pénalise pas de manière égale tous les constructeurs. La solution pour les autres industriels, la tablette détachable ? Les terminaux Windows sous ARM, prévus pour le 2e trimestre de 2018, pourraient ainsi y contribuer, avec pour nombre d'entre eux un positionnement haut de gamme. Huawei Apple millions)
Brave Heads – a review | Classroom creativity! | Sparky Teaching If you’re not familiar with the brilliant ‘Yes Prime Minister’, there’s a running joke throughout the series. Whenever Jim Hacker, the hapless Prime Minister is told by Sir Humphrey Appleby that he’s made a “courageous” decision, he panics and changes his mind. In his world, a courageous decision is definitely not a good thing — in fact it means his neck is almost certainly on the line… When our copy of ‘Brave Heads’ arrived on the doormat, guess what the first thing that sprung to mind was? (fade to a Head’s office in a where the chair of governors is peering over a sheaf of papers) CHAIR: (concerned) Just to make you aware, this is a very brave plan, Headteacher.HEADTEACHER: (gulps) Brave, you say? (Roll credits) Well, it amused us anyway. The second thought we had was that this was going to be a book entirely for school leaders. We were wrong. Thankfully Dave Harris has nothing of Sir Humphrey about him! There are 64 in all — this is just a sample. HERE’S WHERE TO FIND IT ON AMAZON.
Mr. Jon's Classes: More Moodle vs. Schoology; Innovation vs. Stagnation Looks like I hit a nerve with some people over the criticisms of Schoology. I stand by all of them. It is not a sufficient resource to build courses to create an educational experience or offer blended and online instruction. Design matters. Moodle allows for engaging design options in ways that many other systems do not. In addition, the Open Source movement will only increase over time even as new and flashy options enter the market. Here's what really bothers me: People maintain that Schoology is more user-friendly or intuitive. First, and this is the most important reason, students are worth it. Second, if a district or organization chooses Schoology over Moodle they are reaching out to their laggards and not their innovators. The adoption of innovation is a real and predictable thing.

Le connectivisme (néo socioconstructivisme) On ne fait pas la découverte d’une nouvelle théorie d’apprentissage tous les jours. Dans Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age, George Siemens explique comment les nouvelles technologies affectent l’apprentissage et pourquoi elles sont désormais nécessaires. C’est une lecture indispensable pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’acquisition des apprentissages. … Essentiellement, le connectivisme constitue un modèle d’apprentissage qui reconnaît les bouleversements sociaux occasionnés par les nouvelles technologies, lesquels font en sorte que l’apprentissage n’est plus seulement une activité individualiste et interne, mais est aussi fonction de l’entourage et des outils de communication dont on dispose. Quelques extraits saillants : • One of the most persuasive factors is the shrinking half-life of knowledge. • Formal education no longer comprises the majority of our learning. • Technology is altering (rewiring) our brains. • We derive our competence from forming connections.
How to meet the needs of child prodigies? - news Comment:4.3 average rating | Comments (2)Last Updated:28 February, 2013Section:news Some children are exceptionally intelligent and capable of racing through their education. Kerra Maddern talks to four such prodigies and their families about their experiences To many, the idea of a childhood genius - a prodigy, if you will - has an almost mythical quality. The tales we read in newspapers each year of young children taking GCSEs and A levels portray them as superhuman. But isn’t it an impossible paradox? These children look like any other children. Instead, most live normal lives, having fun, taking part in games; but all the time they are having to combine this with possessing an exceptional intellect, which means they often celebrate achievements most children attain years later. TES has met some of these young people trying to negotiate the tricky path between making the most of their academic gifts and having the freedom to act their age.
