La pédagogie inversée : une pédagogie archaïque, par Alain Beitone et Margaux Osenda

Making It Work: Today's Jobs Require Tomorrow's Skills During a terrific summer filled with conversations with family and friends — and attending education conferences around the country — I discovered that all talks involving education are united around one common objective: empowering students with skills to compete in today’s fast-paced and dynamic business environment. During June, July, and August, I heard the same question asked in many different ways: How do we expect our students to compete in today’s global economy when we are teaching them as if they’re living in yesterday’s business world? Today’s jobs require tomorrow’s skills.

Let's Keep Learning (Even When It's Less Convenient) - Leading, Learning, Questioning December is nearly upon us, and as we work through the last few weeks of the semester in what can often feel like a sprint to the finish, I think it’s important for us to remember that if we expect our students to continue their learning, it only makes sense that we should lead in that way as well. That’s easier said than done (for both students and for educators), but it’s a worthwhile goal nonetheless. Goals like this don’t just happen, though. If we want to look back on the next three weeks and be able to say we thrived during this time rather than that we simply survived the time between our breaks, we need a plan. Reading is something that has really helped me slow down when the pace of life feels too fast. Finding that time away, that white space as I’ve come to call it after a series of especially impactful #leadupchat conversations over the past few weeks (Here’s the LINK to the storify from the chat that kicked that conversation if you’re interested.)

A critical review of flipped classroom challenges in K-12 education: possible solutions and recommendations for future research Flipped classroom approach has become a popular pedagogy in many education institutes around the world. The basic notion of flipped classroom approach is to deliver the teacher’s lectures before class through online videos, in order to free-up the in-class time for active learning and problem solving activities. The use of flipped classroom approach has been extensively studied, especially in the contexts of higher education. When compared the learning outcomes with traditional teaching, the previous reviews suggest that flipped classroom approach can improve student performance or at worst do no harm to student learning. In the published research of flipped classrooms, only a few studies (e.g., Gundlach et al. 2015) reported that students in traditional classroom preformed significantly better than the students in its flipped counterpart. An overview of flipped classroom research

Pop Art Posters Celebrate Pioneering Women Scientists: Download Free Posters of Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace & More We all know the name Marie Curie—or at least I hope we do. But for far too many people, that’s where their knowledge of women in science ends. Which means that thousands of young boys and girls who read about Isaac Newton and Louis Pasteur never also learn the story of Caroline Herschel (1750–1848), the first woman to discover a comet, publish with the Royal Society, and receive a salary for scientific work—as the assistant to the king’s astronomer, her brother, in 19th century England. Herschel discovered and catalogued new nebulae and star clusters; received a gold medal from the Royal Astronomical Society; and she and her brother William “increased the number of known star clusters,” writes the Smithsonian, “from 100 to 2,500.”

Quand le tutorat questionne le travail et son analyse Aller au contenu principal S'abonner à la lettre d'information Haut de page AddThis Sharing After 100 Years of the Same Teaching Model It’s Time to Throw Out the Playbook – Education Rickshaw In looking back at my parents’ education in the 1950s and 60s, and my own education in the 1990s and 2000s, I worry sometimes that despite the huge advances that we’ve seen in technology, not much has changed when it comes to how we view learning and how we design learning environments. The transmission model of education is still the name of the game, although in some circles there are signs of its erosion. I would like to take you on a journey in this post, starting from the 1950s banking model (Freire, 1968) of instructional design, before comparing it to my own schooling experiences as a digital native at the turn of the century.

Five-Minute Film Festival: Classroom Makeovers to Engage Learners Most educators have little choice about the (usually) over-crowded, (often) unappealing rooms they teach in -- but they intuitively know that the spaces children spend their time in can have an effect on how they learn. I've gathered a collection of videos to explore the questions: How important is environment to learning? And what small changes can you make in seating, organization, lighting, and decor to build your own space into a better place to teach and learn? Video Playlist: Innovative Learning Spaces

Introducing the Apter Emotivation Coaching Framework & Toolkit (Webinar) Tickets, Multiple Dates The Apter Emotivation Toolkit is a versatile and comprehensive framework and tools for coaches, consultants and managers. It can be used in a broad range of situations that require us to tap into motivation, change mindsets, or respond to changing or challenging situations.

Learning Battle Cards: A New Tool For Instructional Designers One of the biggest challenges for Instructional Designers is to keep track of constant changes in Training and Development (T&D). You know how to handle workshops and seminars, but do you know how to match them with a back channel or community in practice? Do you know how to use big data to shape your Training and Development plans, or how to engage virtual agents in developing skills of people you are responsible for? Creativity Becomes an Academic Discipline Photo IT BOTHERS MATTHEW LAHUE and it surely bothers you: enter a public restroom and the stall lock is broken. Fortunately, Mr. Lahue has a solution. It’s called the Bathroom Bodyguard. 7 must-knows from blended learning’s early adopters #4 Expand the Conversation about Cultural Relevance More and more “mavericks” are focusing on determining best practices for weaving cultural relevance into personalized and blended learning environments. As one educator from District of Columbia Public Schools put it, this should be grounded in conversation. “It shouldn’t just be a class or a book. Ask students, where do you see your identity represented and supported in your school?”

AutoMastery Google Forms Add-on AutoMastery is a new Google Forms Add-on that was created by Mary Ellen West, a technology coordinator from Georgia. This add-on allows you to automatically differentiate assignments for students based on the score they receive on a Google Forms quiz. As the teacher, you will set a mastery score and a beginner level score. Students who score at or above mastery will receive a link to an extension activity. Students who score at or below the beginner level will receive an assignment that is designed to fit their needs and help them build the necessary skills to move to the progression level.
