Twelve Ideas for Teaching with QR Codes
Updated 01/2014 As mobile learning becomes more and more prevalent, we must find effective ways to leverage mobile tools in the classroom. As always, the tool must fit the need.

Integrate QR with a PBL or Service Learning project where students can create the codes that will link to the content they create. 4. Save a few trees! 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Mis en ligne le mercredi 7 janvier 2009 ; mis à jour le mardi 28 avril 2009. Bon annniversaire, Marc. Le 5 décembre 2008, tu fêteras tes vingt-neuf ans. Tu permets qu’on se tutoie, Marc ? J’ai eu un peu peur, au début, d’avoir un problème de source. Alors, Marc. Revenons à toi. On n’a pas parlé de musique. J’ai triché, une fois : pour avoir accès à ton profil Facebook (ce qui m’a bien aidé pour la suite), j’ai créé un faux profil et je t’ai proposé de devenir mon « ami ». Je pense à l’année 1998, il y a dix ans, quand tout le monde fantasmait déjà sur la puissance d’Internet. À la demande de l’intéressé, ce texte a été entièrement anonymisé et modifié (villes, prénoms, lieux, etc.) à la différence de la version parue dans Le Tigre en papier, dont seuls les noms propres des personnes citées étaient anonymisés.

10 internet technologies that educators should be informed about
There are so many different tools and technologies available on the internet today, and so many associated terms and concepts. As I think about topics to focus on here in the coming months, I want to make sure we’re touching on the most important ones. What are the most important internet technologies for educators to be aware of, and informed about? I’m sure many people would probably come up with a slightly different list, but based on my observations and experiences, and feedback from faculty at my institution, I have selected the following technologies. I do not mean to imply that every educator should be expected to use all of these technologies in the classroom, but rather that every educator should understand what these are, the potential they have in the classroom, and how their students may already be using them. 1. 2.

L’illusion de la pédagogie numérique | Le blog de Christine Vaufrey
Je lis avec quelques semaines de retard le texte de J.M. Fourgous publié dans Le Monde, intitulé « Oser la pédagogie numérique !« . Pour résumer, M. Ce raccourci me semble dangereux et trompeur. D’une part, parce que je me demande bien ce qu’est « la pédagogie numérique ». D’autre part, M. Ce n’est évidemment pas « le numérique » (les tablettes, les téléphones intelligents…) qui rend possible la construction des connaissances. Et là, on sait déjà ce qui marche : le travail de groupe, l’approche par résolution de problème, l’autonomie des apprenants dans leur organisation. Le grand danger de la promotion de la « pédagogie numérique », c’est de laisser croire qu’il suffit de mettre un ordinateur devant les gamins et qu’on n’aura pas besoin de changer quoi que ce soit d’autre dans sa façon de faire.
