The document outlines 5 teaching techniques that teachers should know: 1) The flipped classroom model encourages students to prepare for lessons before class; 2) Design thinking involves resolving real-life cases through group analysis, brainstorming, and creative ideas; 3) Self-learning is driven by curiosity and students should not be forced to memorize large amounts of information; 4) Learning through play uses games especially in elementary education; 5) Social media can engage students who are always connected to their social networks.

Researching the Child ~ Nature Connection

KlausGroenholm

This document discusses research on the decreasing connection between children and nature. It argues that children today spend less time outdoors in unstructured play and more time engaged with digital technology and structured activities. Some of the reasons for this disconnect include fear of both the known and unknown outdoors, the prevalence of technology, and less free time due to busy schedules and school reforms focused on standardized testing. The nature deficit has consequences for children's health, well-being, and development.

Technology and outdoor education: Some experiential possibilities

James Neill

The document discusses the relationship between technology and outdoor education. It explores how outdoor education both relies on technology for activities and safety, but also aims to distance participants from technology. The document proposes that technology and outdoor education can have a symbiotic relationship, with technology enhancing outdoor education skills and understanding. It provides examples of how different technologies, both old and new, have been used in outdoor education settings and could be applied going forward.

Every person’s life must include an important element called education. Education is important, as stated by the proverb “Learning is a process starts in a mother’s womb and ends in one’s tomb.” Everyone may be academically capable, but very few people will also have a value-oriented education. Value education’s importathat nce has grown over time as a result of its contribution to the formation of a personality with a healthy sense of balance. As a parent, it is your responsibility to make sure that your child acquires the skills necessary to not only survive but also thrive in the real world. While it is important to consider issues like selecting a career and making plans for the future, it is also important to advance holistically and first become a good human being. Your child might not develop holistically if the entire learning process is centralised and evaluation-driven. Making the appropriate school choice for your child is therefore crucial. Even though you disagree with the necessity of value education, you should recognise that kids spend a lot of time in school. As a result, learning should be enriched in the classroom. At Academic World School, one of the best CBSE schools in Chhattisgarh, we provide an incredibly flexible curriculum that meets students’ developmental needs while maintaining value education as a crucial core component.

ICT the catalyst for inovation in education

Chole Richard

This document summarizes a presentation about using information and communication technology (ICT) to catalyze innovative teaching and learning. It discusses how the 21st century has brought changing trends like increased technology usage and globalization. To respond to these changes, education needs new approaches like learner-driven and problem-based learning that engage students in real-world issues. The presentation highlights an example of a project-based learning program at PMM Girls' School in Uganda where students use ICT like digital media to address community issues. They develop skills like collaboration while impacting their community. The experience empowered students and showed how ICT can enable learning beyond the classroom.

Students today are digital natives who are comfortable using technology. Traditional classrooms do not meet the needs of these students. Instead, new learning environments should actively engage students through interaction, hands-on learning, collaboration, and developing skills for the future workforce like problem-solving, digital skills, and communication. Teachers' roles are to cultivate students' curiosity and facilitate their own understanding. New pedagogical approaches focus on phenomenon-based and playful learning through innovative methods, facilities, and inspiring learning spaces that motivate students and emphasize their engagement in the process.

Special education teachers and digital learning

Julie Evans

Special education teachers use technology in various ways to support student learning and their own professional tasks. They use tools like email, online quizzes, and presentations to engage with students and develop customized lessons. Many teachers report that students have greater access to devices in secondary versus elementary classrooms. Popular digital content used includes online textbooks, curriculum, and skill-building software/apps. Teachers say technology improves student motivation, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. It also enhances teacher effectiveness by making them better organized and able to create more interactive lessons centered around individual student needs. Benefits of mobile devices include extending learning beyond the classroom and increasing student engagement.

Micro-revolutions in the open networks of teachers in Finland EdMedia paper

Anne Rongas

Finnish educators have formed open social media networks to drive educational innovations on a grassroots level. The Sometu network, started in 2007, helped popularize these efforts and currently has almost 5,000 members. Other networks have formed around ideas like reinventing vocational education through "Guild Schools" and using peer learning to share skills and ideas. These voluntary networks allow educators from different organizations to collaborate openly and generate new ideas. They have helped drive minor reforms in teaching practices and culture in Finland.

Introduction to Technology-Enhanced Learning

Josmar Borg

This document provides an overview of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and discusses how to incorporate TEL into educational practices. It defines TEL and explains why educators should use it. It also discusses how today's students are digital natives who need 21st century skills developed through TEL approaches. The document outlines different TEL activities that can support collaborative and self-directed learning, such as online discussions, presentations, simulations and games. It emphasizes that effective TEL requires aligning technologies with educational theories and philosophies to improve learning outcomes rather than just using technology for its own sake.

Emerging Technologies in Higher Education: A guide for HE practitioners

Daniela Gachago

This document discusses emerging technologies and changing teaching and learning practices in higher education. It begins by providing context from various sources on the promise of emerging technologies and how institutions are struggling to keep up with innovations. It then summarizes the key findings of an NRF project on emerging ICTs in South African higher education. The project found that while technologies like social media and research databases are commonly used, adoption is driven more by passionate individuals than systemic institutional support. The document concludes by discussing case studies that illustrate how emerging technologies can facilitate authentic and collaborative learning when implemented effectively.
