Seven Characteristics of Good Learners Via Faculty Focus / The Teaching Professor Blog I’ve seen lots of lists that identify the characteristics of good teachers. They’re great reminders of what we should aspire to be as teachers. I haven’t seen many corresponding lists that identify the characteristics of good learners. Good learners are curious – They wonder about all sorts of things, often about things way beyond their areas of expertise. Good teachers model this kind of learning for their students, which makes me believe that “good learner” belongs on those lists of good teacher characteristics. This article was featured on Faculty Focus on January 22 2014 and was written by Maryellen Weimer, PhD. Difference Engine: The woes of Windows 10 DESPITE its having been available for 18 months, three out of four PC owners have not bothered to upgrade their computers to the latest version of Microsoft's operating system, Windows 10. More than 700m of the world's 1.5bn or so computers continue to run on Windows 7, a piece of software three generations old. A further 300m users have stuck with other versions—half of them stubbornly (and rashly) clinging to 16-year-old Windows XP that Microsoft pensioned off three years ago. The business world has been even more recalcitrant. In a recent study by Softchoice, an info-tech consultancy, corporate computers were found to be running a whole gamut of legacy versions of Windows. Fewer than 1% of them had been upgraded to Windows 10. That said, some 400m or so copies of Windows 10 are now thought to be in circulation. Can Windows 10 do the same? According to Net Applications, a web analytics firm, Windows 10 accounts for a shade over 24% of all computer operating systems.

How To Attribute Creative Commons Photos via Foter According to our research, more than 90% of Creative Commons photos are not attributed at all. To make matters worse, less than 10% of the photos that do credit the original work are attributed properly. This means that more than 99% of Creative Commons photos are not adequately attributed. Not without pride, we are happy to notice that most of the bloggers using Foter.com attribute CC photos properly, which is greatly facilitated by our “ready to paste” attribution info. Most is not enough, though. We do hope it will contribute to the overall quality of posted materials and promote respect for copyright owners.

Stylus/Stylus Publishing - High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: A Catalyst for Student, Faculty, and Institutional Learning “A handbook of everything educators need to know about the current state of the art, capped off with a rovocative look at the synergy of ePortfolios with other student success interventions.” - John N. Gardner, President, Gardner Institute for Excellence in Undergraduate Education; and Betsy O. “Drawing on years of work with campuses nationwide, the authors provide excellent analyses of best practices in ePortfolio use, and they situate their examples in critical contexts that demonstrate the role ePortfolios play in facilitating reflection and integration, essential elements of impactful education. “I enjoyed this book enormously and was delighted to discover that many of my ‘dreams’ regarding ePortfolio practice, like ‘social learning’ and ‘community portfolios’ are gaining ground. “Eynon and Gambino put inquiry at the center of ePortfolio practice, where it belongs. “A call to arms for thoughtful and effective educational reform and renewal

Why?: The Meaning Behind Trash | K-Pop Amino So, since I'm not a super k-pop fan like many of you I have decided to start a blog series called "Why". Each week or so I will post a new blog about questions I have regarding the k-pop Universe and I'll also share some of my criticisms over the topic of said week. For this week I want to know about the term "trash". So, why trash? Trash is a rather derogatory term and I don't really understand why people want to be called trash. Not only are you using the word for a purpose that it isn't intended for, but you're essentially insulting yourself. Personally, I wouldn't want to label myself as that. So, why degrade yourself. Disclaimer: This post is for the most part satarical.
