The document discusses effective lecturing techniques. It notes that traditional lectures often present information too quickly for students to absorb. Research shows short-term memory is limited. The document then offers tips for more engaging lectures, including using interactive techniques, keeping sections short, and having students summarize material. It emphasizes the importance of passion and engagement from the lecturer.
Dales cone of_experience
Dale's Cone of Experience is a model created by Edgar Dale in the 1960s that shows people retain more information through hands-on learning experiences compared to passive learning methods like reading or lectures, with learners retaining approximately 10% of readings but 90% of what they do; the cone illustrates retention rates increasing the further down the cone one progresses from more abstract verbal symbols to realistic hands-on experiences.
Assistive Technology Web Quest
This document discusses ways to create an inclusive classroom for students with disabilities. It defines the least restrictive environment (LRE) as placing students in general education classrooms with proper support. Methods for inclusion include co-teaching, having students spend most of their time in general education with support from resource rooms, using assistive technologies, and making accommodations for specific disabilities. For students with ADHD, planners and computer-assisted instruction can help, while for those who are hearing impaired, audio induction loops, sitting closer to the teacher, and reducing background noise are recommended.

Content & cognitive issue in elt 1
This document discusses using content and cognition in English language teaching. It argues that English is now a core skill used to accomplish other tasks. The focus should be on bringing real meaning and purpose to English learning by linking it to skills needed in the 21st century. This implies backward design of syllabi based on what students need to know and do. Various techniques are discussed to integrate content, language, communication and culture, including task-based learning. Cognition plays an important role in learning, and scaffolding techniques can break tasks into manageable parts to help students cope with challenges. Using authentic materials and examples can help tap prior knowledge and build skills towards accomplishing communicative goals.
TEMI workshop: tuning the level of inquiry
The document discusses differentiating instruction by managing cognitive load and creating appropriate challenges for students. It contrasts skills-first and content-first lessons, noting that skills-first lessons focus on learning new skills through modeling and practice while applying known content, while content-first lessons focus on understanding new content through practicing known skills. Sample curriculum pathways show how content and skills can be integrated at different levels for students from years 7 to 8.
Teaching information skills: my presentation at ILI 2011
The document summarizes an experiment conducted by Karen Marie Øvern on teaching information literacy skills at Gjøvik University College in Norway. The experiment involved a test group and control group who took information skills tests before and after instruction. The results found that students easily learned search techniques but struggled with tasks like developing search strategies, evaluating sources, and structuring arguments. Based on the findings, Øvern advocates for embedding information literacy instruction within courses rather than standalone lectures and collaborating more closely with faculty.
ProjectPresentationFixed
The document discusses findings around the use of podcasts in education. It summarizes that studies generally find podcasts have a positive impact on student achievement when they provide supplementary content not available to other students. It also notes podcasts seem most effective when they deliver just-in-time audio information to engage students and help them relate to the topic being studied. However, the positive effects may be due more to how podcasts are used rather than the podcasts themselves. Overall, no studies found podcasts had detrimental effects on learning.

The document discusses findings on the effectiveness of podcasts for student learning. It finds that podcasts generally have a positive impact when they provide supplementary content not available to other students, allow repeated reviewing, or deliver just-in-time information. Studies that gave the same materials to all groups found little effect. The positive effects are attributed not to podcasts themselves but to how they are used to enhance learning. None of the studies reported detrimental effects from podcasts.
A Brief Introduction to Educational Technology - Part 2
The document provides an overview of educational technology and how it has changed modern classrooms. It discusses how technologies from 1904 to 1994 remained similar but how entertainment technologies evolved over that same time period. Modern classrooms from 2004 onward began incorporating new technologies but retained the same pedagogical approaches. More recent classrooms from 2016 have seen new technologies combined with new pedagogical methods informed by insights from various fields related to learning science. The document outlines some of these new technologies, pedagogies, and insights that are transforming education.

1. The document discusses knowledge transfer and development in education, including defining knowledge and knowledge management.
2. It explores different teaching styles like lecturing, recitals, and tutorials that can be used to integrate knowledge and ensure learning and transfer has occurred.
3. Effective teaching requires engaging students through examples, questions, and active learning to help students apply and develop knowledge.
Pedagogy at scale
This document discusses pedagogy at scale, both past and present. It notes that in the past, England shunned the concept of pedagogy and approached education in an amateurish and pragmatic way. However, this does not work for distance learning at massive scale. The document discusses how new educational technologies need innovative and effective pedagogy informed by learning processes and outcomes. It provides examples of how different pedagogies like conversation, simulation, and inquiry have been implemented at massive scales online. It also discusses using pedagogies like social learning, coached team learning, case-based learning, experiential learning and competency-based learning for professional development at scale.
Dobozy
This document summarizes a presentation given at a history symposium about redesigning history education. It discusses how traditional history education focuses on facts without context, and how this leads to "pedagogical inertia". It proposes a new approach centered around inquiry-based learning tasks designed around 7 dimensions of historical literacy. This was piloted as an assignment with teacher education students, who had mixed reactions. While some found value in stimulating debate, others found the approach vague and difficult without explicit instruction. The conclusion is that changing established approaches requires buy-in from students and staff, and a systems approach to support different learning styles.

Vais pbl
The document discusses project-based learning (PBL) and compares traditional teaching methods to PBL. It notes that PBL engages students through hands-on exploration of real-world problems, allows students to investigate issues and topics through projects, and fosters abstract thinking. PBL uses authentic assessment, extends learning over time, and develops 21st century skills like collaboration. The roles of teachers and students shift, with teachers facilitating learning and students taking a more active role. PBL has roots in constructivist learning theories advocated by thinkers like Dewey, Piaget and Vygotsky.
3 Knowledge Transfer
Knowledge transfer comprises strategies used in organizations to identify, create, distribute, and enable adoption of insights and experiences. Effective knowledge transfer requires understanding knowledge at different levels, from specific facts to general theories, and applying this knowledge in various contexts. It also important to engage students actively in the learning process through questioning, examples, and opportunities to develop their understanding, in order to ensure knowledge is successfully transferred.
Flipping the Learning Model and Makerspaces
The flipped classroom has been used in different ways for the past decade in education, and more recently, the idea of flipping professional development has been experimented with at schools and in corporate training. In both cases, the idea is to rethink what we want to spend our time with in face-to-face sessions and how can we move learning before & after those sessions to be more self-directed. This presentation was paired with a makerspaces session and included an exercise to flip the learning model. Attendees were asked a DIY activity before the face-to-face session.
Learning Leaders 21st Century

It also discusses Richard Mayer's principles for multimedia instruction, such as reducing extraneous processing, managing essential processing, and fostering generative processing. The document provides examples of how teachers can implement these strategies through social media like Instagram stories.
Damodharan_Innovative_Methods
This document discusses innovative methods of teaching that engage students more actively than traditional lecture-based methods. It analyzes the limitations of traditional "chalk-and-talk" teaching, including that it is a one-way flow of information and lacks student interaction. The document then presents several innovative teaching methods like using multimedia, mind maps, humor, role playing scenarios, and relating concepts to real-world examples. It emphasizes that teaching must involve both sending and receiving information to improve the learning process. Overall, the document advocates for interactive, participatory teaching methods over passive lecture-based methods.

Sally Drummond
The document discusses a new flexible learning program in Victoria that includes literacy, numeracy, personal development, and work-related skills courses. It also describes a digital mini film festival for youth where one-minute films are shared between mobile phones using Bluetooth technology. Research was conducted on using this Bluetooth technology, called BlueZone, to transfer educational content to mobile devices within a 100m range. Findings showed it was successful in transferring files to different mobile brands and models within 10m. Recommendations include using this technology for campus activities, events, and sharing educational resources with students.
Robert Heath, Barcroft Primary School
The document discusses using an electronic Record of Professional Development (eROPD) with PebblePad instead of a traditional paper-based system. A pilot project was conducted with 10 PGCE students to produce their ROPD electronically. Some benefits found so far include having access anywhere at any time, ability to include different media types as evidence, and no large paper folder to carry. However, it also takes time to set up profiles correctly and training is needed for students on using the technology. Overall the eROPD approach shows potential but still has areas for improvement.
Kathryn Trinder - Virtual Worlds in Learning
The document discusses Glasgow Caledonian University's (GCU) presence and activities in Second Life, including:
1) GCU initially created a 6-month project to develop a presence in Second Life for marketing purposes.
2) GCU now hosts weekly evening classes and competitions to explore using 3D virtual worlds for learning and teaching.
3) Activities include students and staff building virtual simulations, social hubs for networking, and informal skill-building classes.
4) Ongoing research is evaluating virtual learning communities and how to increase staff engagement with the platform.

Graham Francis has worked at the college since 2000 and helped establish various e-learning projects including using Asus EEE PCs, iPods, Sony camcorders, and Garmin GPS devices to support subjects like languages, sciences, and geography. Students provided positive feedback on the portable devices and their use expanded to include individual learning, classroom activities, and field trips.
The Role Of The Teacher In 25 Years Time - Keri Facer
The document discusses reimagining teaching in the 21st century and challenges some assumptions. It outlines major technological trends that will shape education over the next 25 years, including ubiquitous computing, massive computing power, mixed reality, immersive experiences, brain-computer interfaces, and complex systems. These trends will challenge conceptions of knowledge, learners, tools, places of learning, and raise environmental and ethical issues. The document calls for reimagining education around meaningful real-world problems, diverse experts, and fluid learning across contexts with multiple forms of assessment. However, it notes education has remained largely unchanged despite long-standing calls for reform, and examines underlying assumptions that prevent change.
Michael Kasloff
The document discusses an mCLASS reading assessment tool used in the UK to help teachers diagnose students' literacy strengths and weaknesses, guide instruction, and monitor student progress. A pilot program was conducted in 3 schools in Wolverhampton with 9 teachers assessing 15 students in each class. Teachers found the tool provided immediate results and visual feedback, improved literacy, and yielded assessment data more efficiently than traditional methods.
Gareth Frith
ALPS is a collaboration between 5 universities aiming to develop mobile learning and assessment tools for students in health and social care fields. It recognizes that learners need to be connected to information in practice settings and that mobile devices can enable learning experiences that are active, autonomous, flexible and collaborative. ALPS has created common competency maps in areas like communication, teamwork and ethics to guide assessment on mobile devices, which can then capture evidence and reflections from practice and integrate with ePortfolios. Initial feedback from students on the mobile assessment approach has been positive.

Laurie O'Donnell
The document discusses two philosophies of education:
Philosophy A views education as broken but fixable through technology and targets, while Philosophy B sees it as a long-term investment requiring teacher support. It provides examples of projects by Learning and Teaching Scotland that apply Philosophy B, such as the Glow national schools intranet and Scottish Learning Festival conference, and argues educational change requires long-haul development of teacher skills with technology as just one part of their work.
