Top 100 Influential Education Blogs | Onalytica Blog
UPDATE: You can see an updated list here. Over the last 5 years there was a sharp increase in the number of education blogs in various areas such as art education, technology, creative writing, mathematics, or drama, from primary school level to lifelong learning approaches. Despite this surge in education blogs, there haven't been many attempts at classifying the blogs according to their authority. The Influence Index we compute at Onalytica shares the same idea with the impact factor that nowadays all academic journals publish on their cover. Our influence measuring methodology is based on the Input/Output model developed by the Nobel Prize winner Wassily Leontief. The model takes into account all references and citations between the blogs. The Onalytica Influence Index is the impact factor of a blog, or how much that blog matters. Popularity represents how popular or well-known the blog is among other education blogs.
Using the E-Portfolio to Validate Student Learning
February 12, 2013 By: Ken Scott, EdD in Instructional Design, Teaching with Technology Too often our students consider their work in the classroom as required assignments—not work that has anything to do with what they will be doing in the real world. I see the need for students to understand that the work they do has value-added merit as part of their overall repertoire of academic preparation and social contributions. For example, when I begin the e-portfolio class, I ask students to compile a list of items they would want to use as samples of actual work accomplishments: community service participation, papers written, projects developed, presentations, poster sessions, conferences attended, professional development, and the like. In our media-hyped, socially networked, information-at-your-smart-phone-apps world, why have we in higher education not capitalized on this process? Recently, I attended an Oracle workshop at a neighboring university. Dr.
Ausbildung: Wertschätzung und Selbstverwirklichung ist wichtiger als das Einkommen | Karriere
Ausbildung : Auszubildende wollen ernst genommen werden Seite 2/2: Früher ging es bei Jugendlichen eher um hohes Einkommen und Karriere. Heute scheint ihnen Spaß, Selbstverwirklichung, Wertschätzung und Abwechslung wichtiger. Die zukünftigen Azubis betrachten ihre Ausbildungszeit als Investition in die Zukunft, für die sie gut und umfassend qualifiziert sein wollen. Für Volker Linde, Bildungschef der niedersächsischen Kammern, belegen die Befragungen seine Vermutungen. Unternehmenskultur für Jugendliche erfahrbar machen Für Hotelier Kristian Kamp vom Strandhotel Duhnen in Cuxhaven liegen die Schlussfolgerungen auf der Hand: "Für mich als Unternehmer bedeutet das: Will ich gute Nachwuchskräfte haben, muss ich einen Weg finden, unsere Unternehmenskultur für die Jugendlichen erfahrbar zu machen." Wie es im Betrieb zugeht, wie rau oder freundlich der Umgangston ist, erfahren Schüler im betrieblichen Praktikum, beim Tag der offenen Tür oder in Projektwochen.

Turn Pictures Into Stories With Fotobabble
This morning I shared an old post about Fotobabble on the Free Technology for Teachers Facebook page. In response to that post Stewart Whitney shared his experience of using the Fotobabble iPhone app. Stewart's comment got me to try the Fotobabble iOS app. Fotobabble is a free service that allows you to quickly turn a picture into an audio picture story. Applications for Education The Fotobable iOS app could be a great app for students to use to quickly create short audio stories about pictures that they take with their iPhones and or iPads (the app isn't optimized for iPad, but it works on it). Over time your class could build a collection of audio captioned news images by embedding each of their Fotobabble creations on a class blog or wiki.
Authentic Assessment Toolbox Home Page
to the Authentic Assessment Toolbox, a how-to text on creating authentic tasks, rubrics, and standards for measuring and improving student learning. Inside, you will find chapters on A good place to start -- In this chapter I identify the characteristics, strengths and limitations of authentic assessment; compare and contrast it with traditional (test-based) assessment. Why has authentic assessment become more popular in recent years? When can it best serve assessment needs? After a brief overview, follow a detailed, four-step process for creating an authentic assessment. All good assessment begins with standards: statements of what we want our students to know and be able to do. Authentic assessments are often called "tasks" because they include real-world applications we ask students to perform. To assess the quality of student work on authentic tasks, teachers develop rubrics, or scoring scales. A guide to constructing good, multiple-choice tests, to complement your authentic assessments
