Visual Blogging with Muzy. Proud to be leader in Smile EUN Project COP2 and to present my top 10 #curation tools to build #edtech20 #PLN 4 #leadershipday12. TeachMeetBrum – Memrise.com « ¡Vámonos! As I now live in Switzerland I can’t be at TeachMeet Brum tonight.
To assuage my disappointment, I thought I might appear virtually and therefore prepared a little video presentation on Memrise.com, a really great site that I’m using to learn some German, revise the Catalan I learned at university and to play around in Spanish, a language that I speak and teach. It’s not just for learning languages though – you can learn about animals, famous people, general knowledge and, as I show in the video, apples! So, in a nutshell, helps you memorise things! You can add your own lists of words so you can customise it to the needs of your classroom for example and you can access other people’s lists too (could save lots of time!) I did forget to mention that there is an iPod app being developed – I’m currently one of the people beta testing it as they look to improve it.

A is for Attention. High alert!
Classroom in Palestine Three news stories last week - all of which dealt with the pervasive role of technology in our lives - touched on the issue of attention and its role in learning. A front page story in The New York Times reported on a trip into the wilderness undertaken by five academics, the purpose of which, according to psychologist David Strayer, was to study “what happens when we step away from our devices and rest our brains — in particular, how attention, memory, and learning are affected”.

My students very often tend to do the required course readings once, struggling not only with comprehension, but also relating the content from week to week.
In order to both improve comprehension and dig deeper, this post is about pushing students to engage with the readings. One lesson I’ve tried to instill in new university students is that to understand material and get the most from a reading, you need to engage with it, like having a conversation where you go down various tangents, inspired by the original discussion, but always being able to bring it back. Likewise, the more you engage with a reading, the less work you’ll need to do later when using it as part of your research. Giving examples or even practicing engagement in a class or two and expecting them to do it on their own simply isn’t enough. Learners need the skills broken down into separate functions to recognise and practice. Muzy. ShellTerrell/teachmeetintl-sept-2012... Offline Activities with a Mobile Device. Ulimasao - home. View.
