From Digital Literacy to Digital FluencyDavid Cain
While our students may appear to be digital natives, they rarely have the capacity to make wise or ethical decisions as they construct their digital identities. As educators, we have a moral imperative to guide our students--even in an ever-changing digital landscape.
Today, cutting-edge technologies are empowering mobile applications as consumers can access digital education at their fingertips. The educational app acts as a virtual bridge between teachers and learners. Although providing and educating others is a great job. On the other hand, you also need to create income that you can make by launching an innovative education and training app. Hiring a top mobile apps development company in Los Angeles with in-depth experience in developing educational apps is a good way to go.

Learning — to some it is the sound of chalk on blackboards,
the search through stacks of scribbled notes, and backpacks
full of heavy textbooks. For others with a less traditional
lens, learning is the summoning of professors with a click
of a mouse, assignments no longer living on paper, but in a
cloud, and the ‘classroom’ being everywhere. Education has
changed considerably in recent years and we don’t expect it
to slow down anytime soon.
Because of the advancement of technology, institutions
are able to reach more students than ever with the help of
quality and accessible online courses. ‘eLearning’, ‘distance
education’, ‘blended learning’, ‘online campuses,’ and other
related programs have grown more prominent in higher
education institutions. According to NCES data, there were
5.5 million students enrolled in distance education courses at
degree-granting postsecondary institutions in fall of 2013.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

know where
you’re
going, any
road will get
you there.
----Lewis
Carroll
3. Did you know?
• “App Store has been subject to over 10 billion
downloads and AndroLib claims Market has
exceeded 3.2 billion downloads. These
numbers are undoubtedly impressive and
awe-inspiring, but how many times are these
billions of downloaded apps actually being
used? A study by software company Localytics
states that 26 percent of applications
downloaded are only opened once.”

applications-actually-being-used/
4. Did you know?
• Would you be surprised to hear that more than
60% of the apps in the App Store have never
been downloaded, even once? That's the
conclusion of analytical firm Adeven. Christian
Henschel, Adeven CEO, said that there are only a
"couple of thousand apps" that get downloaded
in number from Apple's on-line applications
store.”
http://www.phonearena.com/news/400000-apps-in-the-App-Store-have-never-been-
downloaded-says-report_id32943
5. Purpose & Learning Objectives
To provide you with the tools and understanding
needed to evaluate Apps at your local program or
classroom level…
• Why it is important to systematically evaluate Apps
yourself?
• What are the key areas to consider?
• How does the “Early Childhood Educational Technology
Evaluation Toolkit” work?
*Disclaimer: Photos and APPS do not imply endorsement.
6. Setting the Stage…
Let’s first briefly visit
NAEYC & Fred Rogers
position statement
http://www.naeyc.org/content/technology-and-young-children
7. When used intentionally and
appropriately, technology and interactive media
are effective tools to support learning and
development.
• Active, hands-on, engaging, and empowering;
• Give the child control;
• Provide adaptive scaffolds to help children progress in
skills development at their individual rates; and
• Are used as one of many options to
support children’s learning.
• Technology and interactive media should expand
children’s access to new content and new skills.
8. Intentional use requires early childhood
teachers and administrators to have
information and resources regarding the
nature of these tools and the implications of
their use with children.
• To better meet the needs of individual children;
• Supporting enhanced communication
with families; and
• Providing children new opportunities for
exploration and mastery.
• Cost and maintenance must also be considered.
9. APPS, APPS, & More APPs
• Apps on mobile devices making way into early
childhood classrooms at unprecedented rate
• Reported in iLearnII study, Joan Ganz Cooney
Center found as of mid-2011 already over
800,000 Apps
• Representing a multibillion-dollar market
10. So What’s There?
• Cooney Center analyzed 200 Apps
• 100 in top selling category
education category of iTunes store
• Almost 50% of top 25 sellers for elementary
• In Education category
overall, toddler/preschool Apps most popular
(at 58%)
• As well as area w/ most growth from 2009 to
2011
11. Their Conclusions….
• Assessing quality and learning value is difficult
– Common standards of educational value for Apps
not present
– Few reputable reviewers
– These reviewers’ inability to keep up with all the
Apps there are currently and that keep coming
12. Their Recommendations
• Cooney Center calls for creating a common set
of education standards and
• To take the opportunity to do so in the App
market while it is still forming
14. Recent Case In Point….

15. Early Childhood Educational
Technology Evaluation Toolkit
• To address, evaluation tool developed for
software review which includes Apps on tablets.
• Areas chosen informed by research and key
considerations identified as important by field of
educational technology, specifically as relevant to
younger learners.
• Tool published mid-2012 by NAEYC in journal
“Young Children” & 2012 book “Spotlight on
Young Children and Technology”.
16. How do I know
the technology
and content are
appropriate and
children are
learning?
17. What would you like children to learn?
A first step is to establish learning goals for the
children. For example:
– approaches to learning (such as curiosity, flexible
thinking, persistence)
– language/literacy
– mathematics
– social studies
– science
– social-emotional (like cooperation, identifying
emotions)
– self-help
18. Then it’s time to evaluate:
• Educational value
• Engagement to enhance learning
• Child-friendliness
• Interactivity
• Monitoring of progress
19. Educational value
• learning versus focus on winning?
• content based on research/standards?
• feedback is informative/teaches?
20. Age-Child Appropriate
• appropriate cognitive skill(s)/subject matter?
• set in interesting context?
• pre/non-readers can navigate?
• free from bias?
22. Enjoyable/Engaging
• enough activities with variety?
• appropriate use of rewards?
• graphics realistic and appealing to intended
age?
• activities match well to attention span?
30. Closing Thoughts
We hope this session and the Toolkit will:
• free you from the current situation in which
many App reviewers do not have a strong
background in
– child development
– Education
– teaching pedagogy
• are reviewing based on
– personal preference
– bells and whistles
– pro or con agenda
31. Apps versus Learning Systems Software
• Single Apps might be better for enhancement than
main component of the curriculum.
• While tempting to always go free there is
something to “you get what you pay for”.
• Less may be more.
• There are still many very good more
comprehensive learning systems which meet a high
standard according to the areas of the Toolkit.
• No matter how the App or any software comes into
your classroom, YOU as the teacher are in the best
position to decide if it is a good addition to your
children’s learning environment.
32. Action Plan
To help you incorporate the information
from this session, consider this Action Plan:
• As a result of what you have learned in this
session, what are the things you will want to do
differently?
• When you succeed incorporating this new
information, how will it impact your work?
• What kind of help do you need, and from whom, to
implement your new information?
• How might you share what you have learned and your
successes with parents and with colleagues?

Editor's Notes
to better meet the needs of individual children (e.g., assistive technologies that improve children’s ability to learn, move, communicate, and create); (e.g., digital portfolios documenting children’s progress); (e.g., making a book of scanned images of children’s artwork and dictations)
