Creating a transnational experience in Art and Design Education via Social mediaLesley Ann Noel
Facebook can be used to create transnational art and design education experiences. This project involved art students from universities in Trinidad, Barbados, and Martinique discussing and sharing their work on a Facebook group. Over 40 posts were made, with students introducing themselves, sharing photos of their work, and providing feedback to each other. While challenges included superficial feedback and a bias towards fine art, the Facebook forum allowed for cross-disciplinary discussions and increased student engagement across the Caribbean. With improved guidelines and balanced participation, social media can play a role in connecting art students internationally.
The document discusses common myths about online education and provides the truths about each one. It addresses 10 myths: 1) online learning will make traditional education obsolete, 2) it is a quick easy way to get a degree, 3) it diminishes the teacher's importance, 4) courses lack interaction, 5) students are isolated, 6) teachers have easy jobs, 7) courses are easier than regular courses, 8) students are more likely to cheat, 9) virtual schools are about technology, and 10) online courses are an add-on burden. The document refutes each myth by explaining how online learning actually provides benefits while not replacing traditional methods and requires substantial effort from both teachers and students.

It emphasizes the national goal to increase the percentage of Americans with postsecondary degrees or credentials from 39% to 60% by 2025. This will require increasing the number of degrees awarded each year. The presentation also discusses strategies for community colleges to develop strategic plans focused on student success through collaboration and a SWOT analysis.
This document discusses the use of Web 2.0 tools in education. It notes that K-12 classrooms and higher education students are increasingly using tools like blogs, wikis, and videos.

2. Educational environments are becoming more flexible, responsive, and engaging by using technology to deliver knowledge in new ways and accommodate diverse learners' needs and prerequisites.
3. New approaches and skills are required to manage the challenges of an information-driven society where knowledge becomes a primary commodity and source of competitive advantage.

Boosting School-to-Home Communication: Proven Strategies & TacticsSchoolwires, Inc.
The document summarizes a webinar presented by Dr. Jill Gildea on proven strategies and tactics for boosting school-to-home communications. The webinar covered research finding that parent involvement leads to better student outcomes and shared strategies used by Fremont School District 79 to facilitate partnerships between home and school. These strategies included summer newsletters, back-to-school nights, family events, and using technology like teacher websites and email blasts to regularly communicate with parents. The webinar provided tips and resources for schools to strengthen school-home relationships and engagement.
The document discusses the use of technology in education. It notes that today's learners are increasingly digital and that technology allows teachers to try new things in the classroom. It defines 21st century skills like creativity, communication, research skills that are important for students. Modern technology can make learning more accessible, interactive and up-to-date, but it also presents challenges like distraction and over-reliance on autocorrect. Teachers need skills to integrate useful digital tools and content into their lessons.
Schools and teachers want to develop partnership with parents. Strong communication is fundamental to this partnership. So, teachers must continue to develop and expand skills required to build a strong partnership.
