RebelMouse Sign In Pearltrees vinkit Opettajan sukellus sosiaaliseen mediaan: "Löytyi Pearltrees-helmiä!"+ 10 vinkkiä opettajalle Tällä kertaa ajattelin kirjoittaa Pearltrees-ohjelmasta opettajan näkökulmasta. Aloitin ohjelman käytön syysloman aikana (2012) ja olen edelleenkin ihmeissäni sen mahdollisuuksista. Sosiaalisen median maailmaan minut tyrkkäsi lukiomme rehtori Kari Rajala.

7 Reasons educators should blog Like many others, I find blogging a useful activity. So useful, in fact, that I think everyone involved in education should do it! Here, in no particular order, are my reasons. Keep an online (research) notebook Blogging readiness, by Cambodia4Kids think some people eschew blogging because it can be frightening to expose your thoughts to the world. So, you might ask, what’s the point of that? One limitation of Evernote, and possibly other, similar, services, is that it’s hard to share all of the notes you’ve made, unless you email them or tweet them out. Why might you want to do this even if you are not doing a course and therefore do not have a tutor? Reflect To my mind, it’s essential to reflect upon one’s practice. What can make reflection even more powerful and useful is allowing other people to comment on what you’ve done. Keep a progress record Interestingly, this does raise another issue.

Storytelling…the power of the ‘unexpected’.. | Connecting to complexity & change Story telling is one of the powerful ways to connect and pay attention to complexity of life and find ways to go about it in a bold way. Facts and statistics are impressive but may fail to inspire us to act meaningfully. Having sat through hundreds of power-point presentations I know that well. But stories are different. This is because stories touch our emotions. It is the emotional energy that guides us through and helps us spring into action. So telling stories help us look at ourselves, explore our minds and our unconscious, take decisions and act rightly is an important skill. Story telling has at least 5 important components, which are – a) A place b) A time c) People with their characters d) Actions, often expressed through dialogs e) An unexpected event. This is the simplest basic form of story telling. Whatever it might be, it is the ‘unexpected event’ that brings us face to face with reality. Like this: Like Loading...

BLOGOsphere-The Magic Medium! Teachers, even if they DO not always realize IT, love to share. Who can deny that they do NEVER exchange ideas with their colleagues about their lessons and students? The very reason WHY this happens is that teachers feel the need to learn and grow in order to ADAPT themselves to the changes THEY FACE IN A 21st CENTURY EDUworld. However, is THE exchange of ideas with colleagues the only way teachers can move forward? The fact that many professionals across the world are already making use of social media to share and COLLABORATE is very strong evidence that the answer to the question above is “NO”. In light of the growing popularity of social media among educators, there is no doubt it is a brilliant idea for every teacher to become a part of the BLOGOsphere. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Finally, I started blogging for myself, but I blog for a lot of other teachers now, and I want to thank Tony Gurr once more for encouraging me to walk the talk and reflect on my experiences.

Why Scoopit Is Becoming An Indispensable Learning Tool Leanna Johnson, Learning with Technology Scoop.it collates work from online publications using an online magazine format, and this visual impact alone makes it very effective. The additional appeal of broadcasting from a hub allows me to tap into and share with my ed tech networks, which is why I find myself using it more often during time constraints. First of all, it’s powerful–it incorporates multiple elements of familiar social media tools. But it’s also very flexible–the mobile app is quite functional for both iPhone and Android, and a toolbar plugin can be installed on browser windows. Scoop.it’s athleticism makes it a time-saver; educators and students will quickly grasp its value in content gathering. Additionally, using Scoop.it will meet multiple standards (Common Core and NETS-S) across the curriculum. Curation is a valuable skill for today’s learner. Using Scoop.it on a mobile device makes it a constrained platform, which lessens stress. Why Students Like Scoop.it 1. 2. 3. 4.
5 ways to establish credibility on your blog I don’t know what it’s like living in other countries, but here in England we are fortunate indeed. If I want to have a discussion on any subject at all, I can simply walk into the pub nearest to where I happen to be at the time, where I am virtually certain to discover a self-styled “expert” declaiming about the economy, or what’s wrong with kids today, or how to solve the financial crisis, or whether or not kids should be taught how to programme, or how the entire education system should be put right. Indeed, I don’t even have to go to a pub. A couple of months ago I was sitting on a train, minding my own business, when the person opposite me told me, with no encouragement whatsoever, that the best way of getting rid of the Occupy London protestors would be to drop cyanide on them from the air. Trust me, I'm an expert! We all enjoy a rant, and I imagine that most people engage in pub talk now and again. Make haste slowly Students have it hardest of all, I think. Tell us who you are
