Give Your Kids a Most Excellent Summer Coding Adventure | EdSurge Guides For a new generation of students growing up in a digitally-connected century, all roads lead to code. Coding is the new literacy. It will not replace foreign languages, but it will be the global vernacular for understanding how technologies work. Unlike the Trix cereal, coding and computer science aren't just for kids. Everyone, and especially teachers and parents, can lead by example and learn a few lines of HTML. We all read to our children from a young age and encourage them to write. Not every coding job involves working in a blue chip tech company or Silicon Valley startup. And contrary to public perception, learning to code doesn't necessarily require hammering away at a keyboard, eyes affixed on some text editor. In this collection of articles below we share different perspectives on coding movement. It's summertime...and the coding’s easy.

Medienkompetenzbericht 16 Habits of Mind Essential for 21st Century Learners January 25, 2015 Below are 16 habits of mind our students need to develop in order to guarantee an optimal learning experience. These are cognitive processes that work at an analytic level to enhance one's mental and conceptual capacities in analysing and understanding things. Different as they are, these mind habits when taken together constitute the essence of a growth mindset needed for a balanced intellectual, social and physical development of the individual. The 16 habits of mind is a work realized by Habitsofmind.org which is a very good platform that provides a wide variety of teaching materials and resources for teachers and educators. 1- Persisting: Persevere in you what you do and keep focused. 2- Managing impulsivity Take your time and think before you act. 3- Listening with empathy Make an effort to understand others’ ideas and points of views. 4- Thinking flexibly Be flexible with your thoughts and be ready to try different alternatives and options.
Janki Method | Jack Kinsella - Rails Developer Berlin MUST READ: Major Update To JANKI Method For nearly two years after I wrote this post I continued to use flashcards for learning programming and made a number of large refinements. I wrote about Janki Method Refined on my company blog. Open it up in a new tab and read it next to get a complete picture. This is a guide to becoming a productive programmer quickly. Janki Method is an attempt to shorten the time needed to learn programming. Well-intentioned learners don’t always learn quickly, despite their smarts and enthusiasm. You’ve read that learning by doing is better than passive reading; that expressing ideas in writing forces understanding; that knowledge needs constant revision to stay fresh; that creativity comes from linking disparate ideas; and that your past mistakes are your best teachers. Janki Method is built on the assumption that Malcolm’s 10k to mastery can be hastened if you take a focused approach to learning. Problems With Learning Problem 1: We Forget Too Quickly
Die Idee | Medien+Computer in der Grundschule Zielgruppe dieses Blogs sind Lehrkräfte an niedersächischen Grundschulen und andere Interessierte die sich mit dem Themenbereich „Medien im Primarbereich“ beschäftigen. Die Informationen die hier zusammengestellt werden, sind weniger unterrichtspraktische Hilfen sondern sollen eine Art Hintergrundwissen liefern, dass das Arbeiten mit Medien in der Grundschule in den angrenzenden Themenbereichen positioniert. Die technischen Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre und auch die zu vermutende schnelle Weiterentwicklung macht es unerlässlich, den Überblick zu behalten. Es wird hier weniger konkrete „Anweisungen“ geben, sondern eher Impulse, sich mit grundschulrelevanten Themen auseinanderzusetzen. Bei konkrete Fragen, sollten sich die niedersächischen Grundschulen an die regionalen Medienzentren, bzw. die medienpädagogischen Berater vor Ort wenden (Beratung vor Ort) Diese Seite ist Teil vom „Grundschulportal“ des Niedersächsischen Bildungsservers (NiBiS).

The Computer Technicians Tool Bag on TQA Weekly Steve Smith explains and shows some of the important tools a computer technician may need in the field. Episode # 4-42 available on : Youtube Blip.tv Vimeo Download : MP3 MP4 HD MP4 SD WMV SD Released: July 10, 2014 The world is full of computers, and many of us are mostly unprepared to deal with the numerous issues that can occur and how to deal with those issues at the same time. First, having the right tools is important. Second, you need a way of transferring files from one computer, to the next. Third, it isn't always possible to run windows, in order, to obtain files because either Windows can't run correctly, or is damaged beyond repair. Fourth, cans of air spray, Isopropyl alcohol, and thermal paste. Fifth, computer running slow, full of malware, consider using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free. Sixth, zip-ties and rubber bands. Seventh, unintentionally deleted files. Nineth, Portable Apps, is an awesome place to find applications that are portable. Sources & Resources
The Myths of Technology Series – “Technology equals engagement” For ISTE 2014 in Atlanta, I will be presenting on the “Myths of Technology and Learning”. As I am really thinking about what I will be sharing at the conference, I wanted to write a series of blog posts that will help myself and others “rethink” some of these statements or arguments that you hear in relation to technology in school. I will be writing a series of blog posts on different myths, and will be posting them on this page. I hope to generate discussion on these topics to further my own learning in this area and appreciate any comments you have on each idea shared. Myth One; Technology Equals Engagement I saw the picture below shared online, and I will have to admit, it made me laugh. Often you hear statements from educators, such as “when the kids are on the computer, they are so engaged”. The other idea that we need to focus on is the notion of “engagement” in itself. Compliance – Do this because I told you. Engagement – Do this because you are excited.
Confronting the Myth of the 'Digital Native' - The Chronicle of Higher Education When Kaitlin Jennrich first walked into her communications seminar last fall, she had no idea that the professor already knew of her affinity for pink cars and Olive Garden breadsticks—and that she planned to share that knowledge with the class. It hadn’t taken much sleuthing on the professor’s part to uncover those inane nuggets. The 18-year-old freshman at Northwestern University had herself lobbed them into the public sphere, via Twitter. Her reaction, she recalls, was, "Oh, no." "I realized the kind of image I was putting out there wasn’t the kind of image I wanted potential employers or professors to see," says Ms. Jennrich, whose professional aspirations include sports public relations. That is just the sort of gut check that Eszter Hargittai, a sociologist and Northwestern professor in the communications-studies department, wants students to make during the 10-week course called "Managing Your Online Reputation." While the course developed by Ms. But Ms. Ms. As for Ms.
8 digital skills we must teach our children The social and economic impact of technology is widespread and accelerating. The speed and volume of information have increased exponentially. Experts are predicting that 90% of the entire population will be connected to the internet within 10 years. With the internet of things, the digital and physical worlds will soon be merged. These changes herald exciting possibilities. But they also create uncertainty. Children are using digital technologies and media at increasingly younger ages and for longer periods of time. The digital world is a vast expanse of learning and entertainment. Moreover, there is the digital age gap. So how can we, as parents, educators and leaders, prepare our children for the digital age? Digital intelligence or “DQ” is the set of social, emotional and cognitive abilities that enable individuals to face the challenges and adapt to the demands of digital life. Digital identity: The ability to create and manage one’s online identity and reputation. Share Written by
Die Generation Y als Digital Natives: Mythen und Fakten : Institut für Software-Ergonomie und Usability Die Antwort auf diese Frage hängt davon ab, wen Sie fragen. Ein Millennial wird allgemein als jemand definiert, der um das Jahr 2000 das Erwachsenenalter erreichte. Die am weitesten akzeptierte Spanne der Geburtsjahre der Millennial-Generation ist von 1980 bis 2000. Wenn Forscher von dieser Definition abweichen, verwenden sie normalerweise ein Untersegment dieses Zeitraums (zum Beispiel 1982 bis 1997). Im Rahmen unserer Nutzerforschung für den Kurs Gestaltung für junge Erwachsene konzentrierten wir uns auf Personen, die zwischen 1986 und1997 geboren wurden. Millennials als „Digital Natives“: Mythen und Fakten Ein Digital Native ist jemand, der in einer digitalen, von Medien gesättigten Welt aufwuchs. Der Begriff „Digital Native“ wurde von Marc Prensky, einem Bildungsberater, im Jahr 2001 geprägt. Es ist unklar und unbewiesen, ob Digital Natives tatsächlich andere kognitive Fähigkeiten haben, als Digital Immigrants. Wir müssen zwischen folgendem unterscheiden: Schlussfolgerung Referenzen
