Librarians and Teachers as Instructional Partners: Written Conversations fo...Buffy Hamilton
This document describes the write-around strategy where students engage in written conversations about texts. It provides examples of how teachers have implemented write-arounds in their middle school and high school language arts, biology, and chemistry classes. The examples illustrate how write-arounds can promote deep engagement, participation from all students, and the social construction of meaning. Photos further demonstrate how teachers have used this strategy.
This document provides an overview of enhancing lifelong learning, teaching, and research through information resources and services. It discusses demystifying and demonstrating new tools and ideas for learning and teaching. It also covers training and supporting the use of eLearning and making sense of eLearning strategies. Finally, it lists current eLearning initiatives and looks ahead to future opportunities.

Being a good listener is a critical skill, whether you are interviewing a candidate or leading a team. However, very few of us have had any formal training in listening effectively and often times we miss important opportunities to use that skill. In this session, you will learn how "high-impact listening" will help you become a better communicator and leader and walk away with a formula for listening success. Some specifics we will cover in the session include:
The 5 different reasons to listen.
The exact non-verbals to show your speaker that you are present.
Ways to avoid common pitfalls.
Following these steps to becoming a better listener will help you thrive as an interpersonal communicator and boost your professional brand.

WordPress powers 22% of the web (or more - as much as 23.1% when I actually delivered this talk). However, as professionals in the WordPress community, we have to be wary of spending too much time talking to each other, and not enough time engaging with other communities.
What are the people who don't use WordPress doing? Static site generation, lightweight hosted platforms, other open source platforms, proprietary software - there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other ways to solve the problems WordPress tries to solve.
If we don't avail ourselves of the conversations happening outside the WordPress fishbowl, we'll miss out on opportunities for true collaboration and innovation.

Perk Up Your Projects with Web 2.0 - MCIUDianne Krause
The document outlines an agenda for a workshop focusing on exploring tools and resources for educational projects. The agenda includes: a warm-up activity, overview of tools, collaborative exploration in small groups, lunch, groups reporting back, experimenting with tools, and a whole group reflection. Participants are directed to a workshop website to access activities and tools to learn about interactive timelines, digital scrapbooks, and other resources. They provide feedback and discuss uses for the tools in teaching and learning.
This document discusses the benefits and potential downsides of using Twitter and Yammer for communication and knowledge sharing. It outlines several reasons why people use these tools, such as keeping in touch with colleagues, sharing ideas and information, asking questions, and contributing to a shared knowledge base. Some potential downsides mentioned are the time commitment required and the inclusion of promotional or irrelevant content. Teaching applications like collaborative writing and gathering student feedback are also examined.

Framing Transliterate Learning Through Inquiry and Participatory Culture Buffy Hamilton
This document discusses transliteracy and participatory culture in education. It begins with questions about how educators can help students engage in conversations about multiple literacies and ways of reading and writing in today's world. It then provides definitions and perspectives on transliteracy from various scholars, which frame it as the ability to read, write and interact across different platforms, tools and media, requiring the ability to adapt between mediums. The document suggests that transliteracy in education values inquiry-driven learning, participatory experiences, and connecting students' informal learning experiences with formal classroom learning. It presents graphics illustrating principles of participatory culture and literate learning communities as a model for transliterate learning.
Beginning teachers' readiness to use ICT in education: Validation of the SQD-...Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The goal of this study was to validate an instrument to measure pre-service teachers’ perceptions about the support and training they receive to integrate technology into classroom activities. Specifically, we focused on the strategies included in the inner circle of the SQD-model (Tondeur et al., 2012): 1) using teacher educators as role models, 2) reflecting on the role of technology in education, 3) learning how to use technology by design,
4) collaboration with peers, 5) scaffolding authentic technology experiences, and 6) providing continuous feedback. In supporting the implementation of such strategies, the developed SQD-scale could be used in two ways. First, it can be used to measure the extent to which pre-service teachers experience these strategies and perceive them as supportive. Second, the instrument can encourage TTIs to reflect on their efforts to support
future teachers in the effective integration of technology.
In order to validate the SQD-scale we collected in-depth interviews with beginning teachers. Specifically, we explored 1) how beginning teachers with less than three years of teaching experience integrate technology in their instructional practice and 2) the connections between these beginning teachers’ educational
uses of technology and the strategies (included in the SQD-scale) adopted by their pre-service education programs. The results revealed that all beginning teachers acknowledged the importance of the six strategies but not all of them were addressed during their pre-service learning experiences. It appears that teacher educators as role models of technology use was a strategy that motivated beginning teachers to use technology in their own
teaching, but field experiences seemed to be the most critical factor influencing their educational use of technology.

We’ve all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we’re still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn’t matter.
We’re still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they’re more likely to be experienced from the bottom up – starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.

Learning is Not a Mechanism: Assessment, Student Agency, and Digital SpacesJesse Stommel
This document discusses issues with over-emphasis on grading in education systems and the role of technology in perpetuating this. It argues that grades reduce complex human learning experiences to simplistic metrics, taking away student agency. Current digital tools and platforms are designed around assessment and ranking rather than relationship-building and emergent learning. The document calls for reimagining assessment approaches that focus on formative feedback, intrinsic motivation, and listening to students rather than surveillance.
This document discusses encouraging experimentation with new technologies, programs, and services in libraries. It outlines a 5-step process for experimentation: discovery, exploration, playing, learning, and determining if you love or hate the new tool. The presentation focuses on how libraries can use this process to improve services through technology but notes it also applies to non-digital interactions. Specific technologies that could benefit libraries are mentioned. The 5 steps of the process are then described in more detail with examples to illustrate each phase of experimenting with new tools and programs.
Rewriting the syllabus: Examining New Hybrid and Online PedagogiesJesse Stommel
We have to carefully build our classroom and educational space online before we start populating it, lest text, hierarchical menus, and pop-up windows be confused with interactivity and community.
Teachers stand to learn more from students about online learning than we could ever teach. Many students come to an online or hybrid class knowing very well how to learn online. It’s often our failure to know as well how to learn online that leads to many of the design mistakes in this generation of online courses.
Graduate Training in 21st Century PedagogyJesse Stommel
If teaching, or related activity, is 40 – 90% of most full-time faculty jobs in higher ed., pedagogical study should constitute at least 40% of the work graduate students do toward a graduate degree.
This document discusses three metaphors for learning environments: habitat, feedback, and frame. It references research on early virtual worlds and emphasizes that learners seek richness, complexity, and depth in educational experiences. The document advocates for crafting unique learning environments rather than standardized approaches.
The document discusses how libraries and librarians can use Web 2.0 tools to help engage and teach information literacy skills to Millennial students. It outlines various Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, Flickr, YouTube, delicious, and their benefits for being collaborative, visual, active learning tools that appeal to Millennials. The goal is to counter low engagement and help students develop important research skills for an information-rich world.

Build Bridges Not Just Levees - NTAC 2013Joe Solito
New Tech Annual Conference 2013 presentation given by Joe Solito. Building bridges to overcome the challenges we face in life that stop our progression.
The document discusses issues with cherry-picking results and publishing only positive findings from studies to increase publishability. It also mentions tightening peer review to reduce the problems of only publishing favorable results and overlooking negative findings. The document encourages going to the library or opening attachments in emails.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
The document discusses how emerging technologies like broadband internet, social networks, and mobile devices are shifting society from an institution-centered model to a model of "networked individualism" where people connect across institutional boundaries using their smartphones. While these connections can help strengthen relationships, there is also a risk of isolation if online connections replace real-world bonds. Whether social networking leads to greater connection or isolation depends on how people choose to use these technologies.
The document discusses how classrooms are evolving thanks to new technologies like smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Students will soon trade pencils for these mobile devices, enabling mobile or mLearning where education can be accessed online anywhere and anytime. This new paradigm allows students more flexibility in how, when, and where they take courses. It also facilitates intergenerational learning as older generations learn to use these technologies from younger family members. A variety of new programming languages are also part of this evolution in education, and mobile devices are driving higher quality global standards in mLearning.
Learners as Leaders in a Changing WorldDerek Wenmoth
This document discusses the need for change in education systems to better prepare learners for an uncertain future. It promotes seeing possibilities instead of problems, sharing ownership of learning between teachers and students, and developing students as leaders rather than followers. The document argues that education must leverage digital tools to create a coherent learning experience both in physical and online spaces. It provides examples of making the learning process transparent, giving students control over their learning, and assessing their ability to thrive in an interconnected world. The overall message is that simply continuing traditional education is depriving young people of their future and true innovation is needed to develop learners who can face disruption and create positive change.
1) Young children are rarely seen playing outdoors or engaging in physical activity as they are increasingly engrossed in technology like phones, tablets, and social media.
2) While technology allows for quicker access to information, it can have negative effects on children by reducing social skills, empathy, and deeper intellectual understanding in favor of oversimplified information gathering.
3) Society has become increasingly shallow and narcissistic as people's self-worth is measured by likes on social media and life's purpose is dependent on technology's advancement, which risks societal downfall if taken to an extreme.
The document discusses leveraging emerging technologies for teaching and learning. It notes that while most educators and parents believe schools are doing a good job using technology, less than half of students agree. The document advocates adapting teaching methods to today's digital students by using tools like social media, videos, and texts to increase engagement. It provides examples of web tools and resources that teachers can use to enhance learning in a way that matches students' technology skills and interests.
Mobile devices and apps can provide educational benefits if used responsibly in the classroom. They give students access to tools for subjects like math, science, languages, and more. Apps exist for studying abroad, identifying plants and insects, step-by-step problem solving, and lowering textbook costs. Teachers can also use mobile apps to take attendance and share grades with parents. However, some argue that students may become distracted, and that mobile devices are not always the best way to learn. Opinions vary on whether mobility in the classroom is useful or if it poses too many problems.
This document discusses Jessica Andersen's top 10 uses of technology, favorite websites, views on digital citizenship, her ideas for an ideal technological classroom, and potential issues and solutions regarding technology in the classroom. Her top sites include Facebook, Flickr, Dictionary.com, Google, and Yahoo Answers. She believes digital citizenship involves being respectful online and properly citing sources. An ideal tech classroom in her view would incorporate smart boards, computers, webcams, laptops, YouTube, Facebook, and iTunes to enrich learning. However, some students may not be able to afford technology and parents may object to internet access, so fundraising and permission forms could help address these issues.
This document summarizes Namshang Limbu's responses to discussion questions for their ARC 211 American Diversity and Design course at University at Buffalo. As a computer science student, Namshang found the course provided an interesting perspective on design. Namshang participated in online discussions covering topics like gender, disability, and emerging technologies. Namshang shared thoughts and examples in response to the various prompts and questions.
The document discusses how young adults are highly engaged with social media but may not fully understand the permanence and implications of what they share online. It notes that 55% of 18-34 year olds have social media profiles, but many don't use privacy controls. The Digital Tattoo project aims to raise awareness about managing digital information and privacy through an interactive online tutorial for students, educators, and professionals. The tutorial covers topics like privacy settings, copyright, and professional networking online.
This document discusses the benefits of using technology in the classroom. It notes that 97% of American schools had internet by 2010 and that technology is merely another educational tool like a dictionary or desk. The document provides statistics showing that 74% of teachers believe technology reinforces lessons, 73% think it addresses different learning styles, and 91% use interactive whiteboards. It also discusses how technology allows students to work at their own pace, share strategies with classmates, and collaborate with experts and other students globally. While technology needs to be integrated thoughtfully, it generally makes students more engaged and helps them develop digital citizenship skills.
The document discusses tools and strategies for engaging students in eLearning. It advocates getting students involved in real-world tasks that are relevant and interesting to them. It also promotes using media creation tools like Audacity and online sharing platforms to help students publicly share their work and get feedback from a global audience. The document argues that an excellent teacher models digital literacy, uses technology for collaborative learning, and draws on online resources and networks to remain current in their field.
Teaching and Reaching the Millennial LearnerJeremy Brueck
This document discusses teaching millennial learners and integrating new literacies and technologies into instruction. It suggests that educators should understand how digital technologies have shaped millennial students' thinking and skills. The document provides tips for teaching millennial students, such as using technologies they are familiar with, communicating in multiple modes, and assessing students in varied formats. It emphasizes the importance of educators developing personal learning networks and engaging in ongoing professional development to stay current with new technologies and pedagogies.
Students are increasingly using their own smartphones and tablets for school instead of school computers, with 96% of schools reporting that 58% of kids use personal devices. Universities now encourage students to bring their own technology to class. While familiarity with personal devices can boost engagement, they also provide distractions that make it difficult for students to fully grasp content. The relationship between professors and students is becoming less intimate as communication shifts to email. As technology becomes more integrated into education, traditional learning methods like note-taking by hand are declining, and the future of education may include students taking online courses from multiple universities remotely.
The document discusses the importance and benefits of personal learning networks (PLNs) and connectivism. It describes various online tools that can be used to build PLNs, including blogs, wikis, social bookmarking sites, microblogs, and networking platforms. The key message is that PLNs are effective for professional learning when individuals actively participate by sharing, reflecting, and contributing to ongoing conversations across various online platforms and networks.
Teaching & Reaching the Millennial Learner: New Possibilities for the Informa...Jeremy Brueck
This document discusses teaching millennial learners and integrating new literacies into the classroom. It suggests that today's students are digital natives who are accustomed to visuals, multitasking, and social learning. The document advocates shifting teaching practices to incorporate more web 2.0 tools, collaborative work, and asking students to find, evaluate, synthesize and communicate information online.
This document discusses the increasing role of technology in early childhood education. It notes that almost all preschools now have computers and that technology use can enhance learning when developmentally appropriate. However, it also raises concerns that young children on average spend over 7 hours per day interacting with technology unrelated to school. Excessive technology use may replace valuable learning experiences involving touch, smell, and social interaction. The document advocates ensuring technology does not become a distraction or overtake other important aspects of child development.
The document discusses the increasing prevalence of mobile phones and how schools are responding. It notes that many students now bring their phones to school daily, despite some school bans. It then suggests ways that phones could potentially be incorporated into education, such as for research, collaboration, ebooks, math formulas, photography, and more. Some specific apps are also mentioned that could help with subjects like science, language learning, and test preparation. Both advantages and disadvantages of allowing phones in schools are outlined.
Flickr is a free online photo sharing and storage platform that can be used for educational purposes. Teachers can upload digital photos, videos and other media from cameras or computers to share with students privately or publicly. Comments and tags can be added to make content searchable. Flickr has potential for classroom uses like presentations, slideshows, discussions and illustrating concepts. It also connects to other tools like Google Maps and Earth for place-based learning.
