The document discusses how the internet is changing how students think and their problem-solving abilities. It states that teachers need to explicitly teach skills like searching, evaluating, and communicating online to help students develop these skills. The document also suggests that using different tools can help develop students' brains, and that the internet shapes not just how people think but how they think about thinking. More research is still needed to fully understand the impact of the internet on cognition.

The document outlines Margo Pickworth's EdD research proposal on how young learners make sense of online information. The research will use qualitative methodology to explore the strategies young competent readers use to understand online information, and what teaching methods can help. It will involve think-aloud protocols and screen capture software to study students' online search and reading processes. The proposal discusses the conceptual frameworks of constructivism and information literacy that inform the study, and outlines plans for ethics approval, data collection and future research phases.
Connectivism 2
Connectivism is a learning theory developed for the digital age that views learning as a process of connecting specialized information nodes. It asserts that learning may reside outside of humans in devices and networks, and that the ability to know where to find information is more important than what is currently known. According to connectivism, learning happens through diverse methods like courses, conversations, and web searches, and both organizational and personal learning are integrated tasks.
Blending synchronous asynchronous
This study explored blending synchronous and asynchronous learning in an online graduate course about online learning environments. The 15-week course included weekly asynchronous discussions and synchronous video meetings. Student reflection papers collected throughout the course showed that synchronous meetings provided a stronger sense of connection but required more structure from the instructor. The findings suggest that as online courses incorporate more synchronous tools, designers need to balance structure and flexibility to support diverse student experiences and identities. Universities also need more flexible approaches to online learning beyond traditional models. Overall, the study provided lessons for designing blended online courses that combine asynchronous and synchronous activities.
My reflection about educational technology
The student initially found technology like the Nicenet website to be difficult and frustrating to use, but realized the activities were not difficult at all and she liked the subject. Through the class, she learned to use various programs and websites like Nicenet, Audacity and podcasts on blogs. Most importantly, she learned to use technology in an effective way for both entertainment and education purposes. She believes technology can facilitate teaching and the teaching of English can have good results when using technology as a tool to support the class.

One of the primary aims of higher education in today’s information technology enabled classroom is to
make students more active in the learning process. The intended outcome of this increased IT-facilitated
student engagement is to foster important skills such as critical thinking used in both academia and
workplace environments. Critical thinking (CT) skills entails the ability(ies) of mental processes of discern-
ment, analysis and evaluation to achieve a logical understanding. Critical thinking in the classroom as well
as in the workplace is a central theme; however, with the dramatic increase of IT usage the mechanisms by
which critical thinking is fostered and used has changed. This article presents the work and results of
critical thinking in a virtual learning environment. We therefore present a web-based course and we
assess in which parts of the course, and to what extent, critical thinking was perceived to occur. The course
contained two categories of learning modules namely resources and interactive components. Critical
thinking was measured subjectively using the ART scale. Results indicate the significance of ‘‘interactivity’’
in what students perceived to be critical-thinking-oriented versus online material as a resource. Results
and opportunities that virtual environments present to foster critical thinking are discussed.

This document discusses a research project exploring communities of practice around information literacy among faculty at York St. John University. The research aims to understand differing conceptions of information literacy, establish if critical approaches are already part of teaching practices, examine how faculty experience and evaluate information literacy, and create a platform for information literacy dialogue. It reviews relevant literature on communities of practice and social learning approaches. Initial pilot interviews provided evidence that faculty have information literacy concerns and values embedded in their teaching, with one faculty more aligned with emerging critical approaches and one with traditional skills models.

Introduktion till forskningsprojektet - del 1
This document introduces a research project about students' learning of scientific concepts through organizing information and communicating in digital environments and extended classrooms. It discusses how learning activities designed with a knowledge-building approach and collaboratively by teachers can influence student communication in blended learning. The theoretical framework is socio-cultural perspectives and design-based research. The introduction of new technologies provides opportunities for new forms of collaboration and learning activities between teachers, students, and researchers. However, meaningful change requires innovations, not just new technologies.
Presentation2
The document discusses several areas of research that have implications for 21st century teaching and learning. It summarizes research on educational neuroscience, cognitive science, technology, and constructivism. The research emphasizes applying findings from neuroscience in conjunction with other fields to inform educational practices. It also found that student learning outcomes increase when they control their own learning in a constructivist environment. This implies a shift towards project-based and student-centered pedagogies utilizing technology.
Activities And Resources In Online Learning From A Critical Thinking View
This document summarizes a study that investigated the relationship between online learning and critical thinking in an undergraduate online introductory computer literacy course. The study aimed to identify which parts of the course's learning modules (resources and activities) contributed most to developing students' critical thinking skills. A survey of 490 students found that interactive course components like assignments and projects were perceived to contribute more to critical thinking than static resources like textbooks. Assignments had the strongest perceived impact, followed by an Excel mini case project. Overall, results indicated students viewed interactive elements as contributing more to critical thinking development than non-interactive content, assessment, or projects. The findings suggest online course designers should focus on incorporating interactive elements to foster critical thinking skills.
Essence Of Technology In Teacher Education
This document discusses the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on teacher education. It addresses two important questions: what will be the long-term impact of introducing these technologies into the classroom, and what skills will teachers need to be effective in an ICT-based learning environment? ICT has been shown to improve memory retention, increase motivation, and deepen understanding among students. When used for collaborative learning activities, it can promote new approaches to working and learning. While ICT changes the nature of motivation to learn, networked computing facilities allow students to communicate, share work, and access resources, helping them develop important skills while learning about other cultures.
ppt presentation...Using technology of today to the classroom of today
This document discusses how new technologies can be used in the classroom to improve learning. It argues that technologies allow for collaborative project-based learning, connecting students globally, and immersive experiences that develop higher-order thinking.

This document discusses the benefits of integrating technology into classrooms. It argues that technology provides authentic learning environments by allowing students to access real-world information and situations. It also enables collaborative learning and higher-order thinking as students can interact with others and consider multiple perspectives. Finally, technology promotes motivation as it incorporates various media formats that appeal to student interests. Examples are given such as students researching World War I online and creating a hypermedia presentation, or participating in an online debate.
Assignment 1 - EDX3270 Natalie Todd
This critical essay synthesizes research on multiliteracies pedagogy in the 21st century classroom. It discusses how literacy has expanded beyond traditional reading and writing to include comprehension of digital technologies. To be literate now requires skills in consuming various semiotic systems enabled by technologies. While students are exposed to diverse technologies at home, the classroom often lacks resources and professional development for teachers to fully incorporate multiliteracies. The essay argues schools must reduce this "digital divide" by modifying practices to include students' out-of-school literacy experiences and prepare them for an increasingly digital society.
iPad Inquiry
This document discusses incorporating iPads into an elementary reading block using a blended learning model. It proposes a plan where students access materials, participate in online discussions, and use ePortfolios on iPads while the teacher manages discussions and provides individual support. Data collection includes student surveys, reflections, and portfolios. Analysis found students engaged when using iPads, enjoyed collaborating, and organizing was easier. Most students felt using iPads for reading was "awesome". Next steps discuss incorporating ePortfolios to help students become self-regulated learners.

The document provides an example of a primary school in the UK where students as young as 8 communicate with each other and their teacher using networked software, and 10-year-olds converse with pen pals in other countries using email. This allows students to develop
Technology Integration Slide Show
This document discusses the benefits of integrating technology into classrooms. It argues that technology provides authentic learning environments by allowing students to access real-world information and situations. It also enables collaborative learning and higher-order thinking as students can interact with others and consider multiple perspectives. Finally, technology promotes motivation as it incorporates various media formats that appeal to student interests. Examples are given such as students researching World War I online and creating a hypermedia presentation, or participating in an online debate.
Assignment 1 - EDX3270 Natalie Todd
This critical essay synthesizes research on multiliteracies pedagogy in the 21st century classroom. It discusses how literacy has expanded beyond traditional reading and writing to include comprehension of digital technologies. To be literate now requires skills in consuming various semiotic systems enabled by technologies. While students are exposed to diverse technologies at home, the classroom often lacks resources and professional development for teachers to fully incorporate multiliteracies. The essay argues schools must reduce this "digital divide" by modifying practices to include students' out-of-school literacy experiences and prepare them for an increasingly digital society.
iPad Inquiry
This document discusses incorporating iPads into an elementary reading block using a blended learning model. It proposes a plan where students access materials, participate in online discussions, and use ePortfolios on iPads while the teacher manages discussions and provides individual support. Data collection includes student surveys, reflections, and portfolios. Analysis found students engaged when using iPads, enjoyed collaborating, and organizing was easier. Most students felt using iPads for reading was "awesome". Next steps discuss incorporating ePortfolios to help students become self-regulated learners.

Reflection- Technology for Learning
- 1. Reflection In the next generation of teaching, students will need to be nurtured through a pathway of thinking. Stated Clark (2011) what you think and the nature of thinking will be affected by the Internet. Teachers need to consider the information students learn through the Internet. This may alter their thinking process and problem-solving skills. The author implies that surfing the Internet is a skill and skills alter the brain (Clark, 2011). Therefore strategies need to be explicitly taught such as questioning, searching, communication and evaluating. The article suggests that more scientific research is needed to define the impact of the Internet and the way we think. Boroditsky (2011) implies the Internet will eventually not be seen as separate technology but as a natural extension of ourselves. Technology has been shaping us for as long as we have been making it. This tells us that teachers need to facilitate different types of engagement with different types of tools to develop children’s brains. Research in the last decade has shown that our brain changes, grows and adapts dramatically as we engage with the world in new ways (Boroditsky, 2011). Boroditsky (2011) states more than shaping how I think, the Internet is also shaping how I think about how I think. Research findings from Bransford et.al (2000) support this theory by stating that the teaching of metacognitive skills should be integrated into the curriculum in a variety of subject areas. The comparison between both articles concluded that more scientific research is needed to clearly define the impact of the
