This document outlines a lesson plan for using a class wiki to teach political cartoon analysis to 8th grade social studies students. It involves three main parts: 1) setting up the wiki and modeling how to use it, 2) having students find cartoons and complete analysis on their own pages, and 3) a follow up of grading work and continuing to add new cartoons over time. The goal is to enhance students' analytical thinking skills while incorporating current events.
The class will learn about the American Civil War through a lecture, webquest, and class wiki activity. There are 28 students, most of whom are girls. Students will take notes during a lecture on the organization of the Union and Confederate sides presented through a PowerPoint. They will then complete a Zunal webquest to research the Confederate states and answer questions. Finally, students will share their observations on similarities and differences between the sides by posting to a Wikispace page, which will be used to evaluate their understanding.
The document discusses the challenges of using Blackboard as a virtual learning environment (VLE) for art and design students and faculty. It notes that Blackboard's emphasis on modules and hierarchy can be at odds with studio-based teaching. The faculty has taken a variety of approaches to adapt Blackboard to their needs, including customizing courses, using external websites, and incorporating Web 2.0 tools. Students report that Blackboard has streamlined their coursework while increasing opportunities for feedback and peer learning. Going forward, the faculty aims to take more risks with innovation and focus on student-generated content and networking.
Nathalie Iseli-Chan presented a case study on using a Moodle platform to enhance a French program. The objectives were to centralize information, enhance multilateral communication, provide learning resources, increase language exposure, develop student autonomy, and build a learning community. Various resources and activities were made available on the platform, including audio files, sample answers, grammar materials, and assessed activities like blogs and online discussions. A survey found that students valued extra practice materials, online activities, communication forums, and a centralized location for program information. The key is to keep the platform organized and change the display theme regularly to motivate students to log in.

Research skills and writing in a learning communityMarcia Rapchak
Both research and writing skills are essential for success in college and beyond, but first-semester freshmen do not always recognize the importance of these skills. By integrating a research skills course and a writing course within a learning community, students were able to apply these skills in their projects that integrated the learning community themes. The instructors worked together to scaffold assignments and assess similar learning outcomes. Ultimately, students in the learning community were more engaged in the process of research and had greater capacity to research for their writing assignments than if the two courses were separated. This presentation will share strategies and ideas for pairing information literacy and composition within a learning community.

Gemma Williamson - Reducing asymmetrical power relations in the language clas...gemmawilliamson
The document discusses using technology to empower learners and reduce asymmetrical power relations in an English language classroom in France with French and Chinese students. It proposes that technology can help equalize relationships between learners and teachers by providing additional opportunities for language practice. Some benefits include removing barriers like accents, allowing learners to create identities, and providing access to information. However, technology alone cannot change power imbalances and its use must consider attitudes, access, and cultural preferences to authority. If implemented correctly with learner input, technology has potential to balance classroom power dynamics.
This document discusses a proposed blended learning model for schools in Ecuador to address issues with the traditional "teacher-centered" approach. It identifies problems such as learner frustration and lack of interaction/support. The proposed model incorporates both online and classroom learning using tools like WordPress/blogs for quizzes, audio, games and forums. It is based on social constructivism and having learners practice and reinforce content with teacher guidance and collaborative work. Challenges include lack of devices, student preparedness, and time demands on teachers. The model aims to make learning more active, collaborative and supported through both online and in-person environments.

The document outlines how the researcher has used findings from her previous study on UK academics' conceptions of information literacy and pedagogy. She has introduced the conceptions categories to both masters students and staff in her own department. Additionally, she helped other university departments develop information literacy strategies by facilitating workshops. The researcher also worked with librarians to discuss conceptions of information literacy and different teaching approaches based on conception categories. Finally, she presented her work to other academics at a conference workshop focusing on information literacy development strategies.
Students reported using technology for both formal course-related learning as well as informal social learning. For formal learning, they used tools provided by their courses like the VLE and Google Scholar for assignments. For informal learning, mobile phones, instant messaging, and social media platforms like Facebook were used to socialize, organize meetings, discuss coursework and exams with peers. While students were open to using these tools for their courses, staff had varying views depending on their discipline. In engineering, the VLE was key and staff were interested in new social tools, while in social work face-to-face interaction remained important. Overall technology use depended more on pedagogical approach than students' digital native status.
The document discusses a study conducted with pre-service primary education teachers at the University of Salamanca on using wikis as a collaborative learning tool. Students were organized into groups to study different schools, creating wikis on the university's e-learning platform to collaborate. They visited schools and wrote reports on the wiki. Most students found wikis a useful collaborative tool, though some faced technical issues. The study provided qualitative data showing wikis can effectively support collaborative work among university students.
