Google Plus for Educators by Jason NeifferJason Neiffer
This document compares and contrasts Google+ and Facebook. It notes that Google+ is available to those 13+ while Facebook is available to those 18+. It also discusses some of the key differences in their business models, such as Google+ being free without advertising currently, while Facebook uses an evolving advertising model. User numbers are provided, with Facebook having over 800 million daily active users compared to Google+'s 62 million users, which may be inflated due to inactivity. The document then examines some of Google+'s core features like Circles and Hangouts and how they compare to similar features on Facebook.
Helena Tech Stuff 2011 Keynote: Rapid Change: What can Thomas Jefferson, Osam...Jason Neiffer
The document discusses how Thomas Jefferson, Osama Bin Laden, and the Roman Forum relate to the rapidly changing classroom landscape. It references how Jefferson valued the importance of information and democracy, while Bin Laden exploited new technologies. The document also discusses how technologies now give more access to real-time data and ways for experts to share information.
This document discusses late medieval critics of the Catholic Church such as Marsilius of Padua, John Wycliffe, and Jan Hus who helped contribute to a decrease in church power and an increase in national power. It also mentions the Avignon Papacy, scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas, and Wycliffe's translation of the Bible into English as important events and figures that influenced the relationship between the church and state in late medieval Europe.
Scientific Revolution Ap European History 2009Jason Neiffer
The Scientific Revolution began in the 16th-17th centuries and challenged traditional views in physics, astronomy, biology, and medicine. Notable figures included Copernicus, who proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system; Galileo, who used the telescope to observe celestial bodies and supported the heliocentric theory, leading to his trial by the Catholic Church; and Kepler, who formulated laws of planetary motion. The Scientific Revolution established new methodologies like empiricism and the scientific method, shifting from medieval reliance on ancient authorities to approaches based on observation and experimentation.
The document compares different paperless options for content and learning management including CMS platforms like blogs, wikis, and LMS platforms like Edmodo, Moodle, Blackboard, and BrainHoney. For each option, pros and cons are listed. CMS platforms are good for simple sharing but lack interactivity and access controls. Wikis are easy to use and edit but have limited flexibility and interactivity. LMS platforms provide more robust interactive features and assessment tools but can have learning curves and vary in cost depending on the platform.
The document proposes a model called PROTECS to improve student achievement through professional development and professional learning networks. The PROTECS model includes providing teachers with professional development on the collaborative learning model and appropriate classroom technology use, supporting active participation in professional learning networks, and implementing lessons using collaborative learning and technology to increase student engagement.

This document discusses assessment for learning and the use of ePortfolios. It provides an overview of key concepts related to formative assessment, the benefits of ePortfolios for student learning and engagement, and examples of how students have responded positively to using ePortfolios and receiving feedback. Specific tools like WordPress are also highlighted as options for facilitating assessment for learning through ePortfolios.
The document discusses Florida's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework for providing students with different levels of academic and behavioral support based on their needs. It addresses using a problem-solving approach within tiers 1, 2, and 3 to help students and address challenges in collaboration between teachers, parents, and other professionals. The framework aims to help students succeed by changing systems to meet student needs rather than expecting students to "fit" into existing systems.
Transforming education for 21st century learningWeb24Education
This document discusses transforming education for 21st century learning. It describes how digital natives learn through social media, collaboration, and independent exploration. Youth learn skills like problem solving, creativity, and learning from mistakes. Teachers can gain skills informally by exploring technology individually and collaboratively. Schools need support for educational change, funding, and professional learning environments to help teachers keep up. Situated cognition theory suggests knowledge is constructed socially through shared informal learning.
This document outlines the efforts of Greene County Schools in North Carolina to implement systemic change through sustained staff development and cultural change. It describes the school system, which includes 5 schools serving over 3,000 students. It then discusses the shared instructional vision, the need for staff development that is sustained and relevant, and the design principles for cultural change including establishing critical balance between infrastructure, content, and staff development. Finally, it provides details on the delivery model for staff development including modeling of best practices, blending of content and pedagogy, and use of "smart sheets" for reference.
A presentation (webinar style) presented for IALLT members in April 2017. Discussion about tools and frameworks applicable to Language Learning in Networks. The conversion from Google Docs seems to have lost some images.
The document discusses communication skills that are important for teachers. It begins by defining communication and emphasizing its importance for teachers. Effective communication skills involve positive motivation of students, using body language, humor, understanding students, team building, and utilizing technology. The document also discusses different learning styles including auditory, visual and kinesthetic learners. It provides examples of how teachers can identify these different learning styles. Finally, the document proposes a group activity where teachers can discuss communication problems they face and how they overcome them.
Shared Understandings to Create the FutureCheryl Doig
The document discusses creating shared understandings to empower learning and transform leadership. It provides examples of integrating new technologies, flipped classrooms, whole brain processing models, consistency in learning practices, and collaboration. The key ideas are developing future-focused education through co-creation, congruence between beliefs and practices, and challenging assumptions to improve student outcomes.
Faculty Adoption of Virtual Worlds, Nov 2012susandass
Faculty adoption of virtual worlds remains low. Understanding the barriers, constraints, and motivations of existing adopters as well as non-adopters may help explain and provide guidance on how to improve faculty consideration and adoption of virtual worlds as a learning environment. Six virtual world adopters and two non-adopters were interviewed individually to answer the question: how do faculty and staff come to adopt or not adopt virtual worlds as a learning environment. An analysis using the transcriptions, the developed narrative stories, and the supporting field notes, found six recurring themes: personal relevance of the technology, cost is an issue but not a showstopper, learning is not alone, sound pedagogical integration is a must, adopter commitment, and adopter characteristics. The adoption process found in this study is compared to Roger’s Innovation Decision Process. Follow-on research efforts are also presented. This was presented at the 2012 Association for Educational Communications and Technology annual convention.
Course Tech 2013, Mark Frydenberg, Student Voices in the World of Social and ...Cengage Learning
Social media and mobile devices have changed how today’s students behave and learn. The social web has put
students in a world where being digitally literate, constantly-connectedmulti-taskers is expected. Instructors
respond with new teaching methods such as the flipped classroomand collaborative learning environments to
promote student engagement, but do these activities help students translate their technology skills into a
professional context? This session explores the impact of social and digital media on student learning and ways that
faculty and students can use these tools to engage with each other both inside and outside the classroom.
Cengage Learning Digital Road Shows 2013, Mark Frydenberg, Student Voices in ...Cengage Learning
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for teaching the "Net Generation" of digital native students. It notes that while students today are highly connected and able to multitask online, they often lack critical thinking skills to evaluate information online and may experience reduced creativity. However, the internet also enables new forms of social and collaborative learning. It provides examples of classroom strategies like flipping instruction to engage students through activities completed in small groups using online data and tools.
This is my slideshow for my ULearn11 breakout:
We have been using e-Portfolios with Year 1 to 6 students at Elm Park School since 2007 and shortly afterwards made the decision to use our e-Portfolios as our sole method of reporting to parents. During this presentation we will discuss our ongoing journey to implement e-Portfolios school-wide, our purpose behind the decision to start the journey, the successes and the challenges - warts and all! We’ll have a look at some e-Portfolios examples and share the professional development, resources, equipment and web 2.0 tools that we have found most useful to help us along the way.
We use KnowledgeNET’s Learning Journals at Elm Park School to create our e-Portfolios but this workshop will also be of interest to those using other applications.
How to Connect Your Classroom in World Class WaysVicki Davis
We must redefine how we teach online. Don't just have a low-engagement online classroom that just duplicates how you teach face to face. Redefine it and level it up. If you have to learn online, do it in a world class way!
The document provides guidance on establishing structured learning environments for students with intensive needs. It emphasizes using explicit instruction to teach expectations, routines, social skills and academics. Data should be collected and used to adjust supports as needed. Interactions should maintain a high ratio of positive to negative and always include a teaching component. Classwide motivational systems can be beneficial if all students can participate. Functional behavior assessments are important to understand why behaviors occur so appropriate replacement behaviors can be taught. Nonviolent crisis intervention techniques should only be used as a last resort to ensure safety.
Transforming a traditional class into a blended or fully online course for use in a Learning Management Systems (LMS) can be a challenging task for educators who lack experience in course design or knowledge of underlying learning theory. Educators may default to hosting static materials (PDFs or text webpages) on an LMS, which can lead to dissimilarities between the syllabus, classroom-teaching approach, and LMS itself. Therefore, the features of an LMS that could support ‘learning’ are underutilized creating a de facto LMS that is in reality a Content Management System. This presentation will provide an overview of established course design and the supporting rationale with concrete examples in the form of individual course units that are aligned with the overarching goals of the course syllabus. Each unit will address the following topics; the theoretical basis of the course, comprehensive course design, the inclusion of game elements and implementing a ‘flipped’ classroom approach. Units will further be subdivided by the supporting research; for example, the topic ‘course design’ will be supported by research in the areas of multimodal resources, pedagogical agents and usability. The presentation LMS will be a Moodle with the Essential theme, however, the information presented will be applicable to the creation of any online course, regardless of the LMS utilized. Additionally, the information presented can be utilized as a template by interested audience members when creating their own peadagocial grounded, online courses.
This document discusses a strategy for implementing e-learning in schools. It begins by noting differences between "digital aliens" (teachers) and "digital natives" (students). Key challenges include overcoming teacher resistance due to paradigm shifts and psychological barriers. The strategy is to understand subject panels, persuade them of e-learning benefits for the whole school, and empower teachers through hands-on workshops. It also addresses choosing popular core subjects and supportive panels to start with. The goal is for teachers to experience benefits and improve their first e-learning lesson with support.
The document describes a graduate certificate course in gender mainstreaming policy and analysis that was designed to address challenges in leveraging student diversity, applying theories to real world scenarios, and collaboration. The solution involved integrating student cohorts, a scaffolded learning pathway, critical reflections, role play, team-based tasks, and authentic assessment. The role play placed students in the fictional International Development Organization (IDO) and used organizational frameworks, memos, and online tools to create an immersive experience and encourage collaboration. Student evaluations found the course applied learning to real jobs and one student was already applying the knowledge gained. The teaching team received several awards for their commitment to gender equity and partnership.
During CIDREE 2015 meeting, we presented the main results of some of our different works, highlighting specifically some important concepts and explaining how we believe they articulate with the Professional Vision.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
