Mnemonic Dictionary - Fun and easy way to build your vocabulary! Gavin Dudeney: 21st Century Skills & Digital Literacy in Action Many of the skills often described as 21st century skills do indeed have both analogue and digital applications, but developing 21st century skills alone does not make someone ‘digitally literate’. Thus, 21st century skills can be developed and integrated into digital literacy-based activities, but the two are not synonymous with each other, exactly. In this article, then, we take a look at how 21st century skills can be incorporated into technology-mediated activities and classes. One of the easiest ways of incorporating both digital literacy and 21st century skills development into standard lesson plans is to start where most teachers find themselves: with a unit of a course book or teaching materials. Now, in order to incorporate these skills and tools, we add three columns to the right of the grid: And here we begin to map how we might include one or more digital literacies, one or more 21st century skill, and the kinds of technology we might use.

Ofsted 2012: Questioning to promote learning — From Good to Outstanding Have you ever noticed that often, when someone is being interviewed, they say “That’s a good question.”? It’s usually when it’s a question they can’t answer quickly and easily. Indeed, “good” questions are ones that generally need thinking about. Inspectors must consider whether: “teachers use questioning and discussion to assess the effectiveness of their teaching and promote pupils’ learning” School inspection handbook from September 2012 Notice, in this instance it does not say “ASSESS” learning, although clearly this is undeniably a major purpose for questioning. Questions that are easy to answer don’t move learning on; they might indicate that learning has happened, or that at least something has been noticed, thought about or memorised, but they don’t promote learning. How do questions promote learning? Questioning can fail because: Questioning succeeds when: What kinds of questions do you routinely ask, and how do you ask them ? E.g. E.g. T: How might you describe a hexagon? E.g. Applying

This revolution will not be schooled: How we are collectively improvising a ‘new story’ about learning » Bayo Akomolafe This revolution will not be schooled: How we are collectively improvising a ‘new story’ about learning (Chapter in ‘Education, Learning and Development’, in publication) Bayo Akomolafe and Manish Jain “Nobody can teach me who I am.” ― Chinua Achebe A different story about learning Around the world, in puddles of silent reclamation, young people, communities and inspired collectives are co-enacting a radically different narrative about education and development – one which undercuts some of the fundamental and hitherto unchallengeable assumptions about what it means to learn, what is worth aspiring to, and what is possible (perhaps, even imperative) today. This chapter is dedicated to exploratory spaces around the world where new notions of learning are being co-enacted. New frontiers for who we learn from, how we learn, where we learn, when we learn, what we learn (and unlearn) are being opened up. Anant is not alone in his quest to walkout of the old story.
