Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: The 3 Best Alternatives to YouTub...
March 29, 2014 YouTube is by all means one of the primary video hosting websites teachers flock to when looking for video materials to use with their students. However, searching through a condensed platform such as YouTube is time consuming given the abundance of irrelevant content on it and hence the importance of having handy websites that provide curated video content specifically designed for student audience. In this regard, I am sharing with you three of my favourite video resources that I have been recommending to teachers over the last couple of years. 1- SchoolTube SchoolTube is one of the largest K-12 moderated video sharing platform, specifically designed for students and educators. 2- Next Vista All videos in the regular collections of NextVista are for a student audience, highlighting the creativity of students and teachers around the world. 3- TeacherTube Teacher Tube is another good alternative for YouTube.

Travail de groupe avec les smartphones : L'Europe et l'Allemagne au lendemain...
Pour traiter de cette dernière partie du programme du thème 2 de l’année de troisième, la guerre 14-18, violence de masse, j’ai choisi de marier les répercussions du traité de Versailles, les 14 points de W.Wilson et la Révolution bolchevique pour en voir les conséquences en Europe et en Allemagne. Le traité de Versailles a été vu dans une première heure avec une vidéo. Les deux autres points sont analysés en travail de groupe (recherche avec des smartphones et une restitution orale). Le dernier ouvrage de J.Chapoutot m’a apporté une grande aide pour créer cette situation d’apprentissage et fournir un sens à la carte de l’Europe après les traités. La compétence 7 est mise en avant dans ce travail, associée à l’usage du smartphone pour la recherche d’informations. Problématique : Comment s’explique la carte de l’Europe après 1918 ? Démarche : La classe est divisée en deux groupes. 1er temps : Dans chaque groupe, un capitaine organise le travail. TICE : smartphone.

Global Forum : Quand les enseignants et les élèves inventent
Du 11 au 14 mars, à Barcelone, le « Global Forum » rassemble, venus du monde entier, enseignants innovants, personnels de direction, industriels, politiques pour échanger expériences et réflexions autour du numérique éducatif. Selon Montserrat Gomendio Kindelan, Secrétaire d’Etat espagnole à l’Education et aux Universités, des méthodes d’enseignement dépassées expliquent les relativement faibles résultats des élèves européens dans les enquêtes comparatives internationales. Ils rencontrent notamment des difficultés à résoudre les problèmes, à débattre, à faire preuve d'esprit critique, d’innovation et de créativité. Sur tous ces aspects, le numérique présente des intérêts pédagogiques, pour peu que les enseignants acceptent de changer de posture et cherchent à stimuler les élèves dans les apprentissages : que s’inventent simultanément de nouvelles façons d’enseigner et d’apprendre.
