OneNote allows for effective sharing of information between students and teachers in the classroom. It provides an endless digital whiteboard, enables annotation of diagrams and photos, and allows students to scan paper notes or share work using OneNote mobile. The director of innovative learning conducts reflective practice by administering student questionnaires each semester to gather feedback on using technology like OneNote and video lessons in the classroom, as well as maintaining a balance with traditional teaching methods. While most students feel video lessons and creative presentations are useful, one student noted their teacher relies too heavily on the interactive whiteboard and OneNote instead of having students attempt problems independently.

N Te Q vs% Traditional

guest8bb586

This document compares the NTeQ philosophy of education, which utilizes technology and student-centered learning, to the traditional classroom setting. Some key differences discussed are that NTeQ focuses on student independence and collaboration, while traditional classrooms are more teacher-centered. The computer plays a more central role in NTeQ as a learning tool rather than just for low-level applications. Lessons are also less rigid in NTeQ and allow more student discovery. However, both approaches aim to create conducive learning environments and prepare students for society. Overall, the document argues NTeQ provides more benefits to students by allowing them to become advanced learners.

Project Based Learning for child participation

This document describes various initiatives taken by a school in India to promote self-learning and project-based learning through the use of technology. It discusses the creation of a self-learning club and math zone equipped with learning materials. Students created a web portal to upload projects and presentations. PowerPoint presentations were shared globally and received thousands of views. The school implemented project-based learning approaches for classes 9-10 covering various interdisciplinary topics. Students' projects were selected for science exhibitions at various levels. ICT was used to create presentations, conduct research, and share work. The initiatives helped promote awareness in the school and local community.

Project based learning

maynard242

This document discusses project-based learning and its importance in education. It notes that project-based learning has students explore real-world problems and challenges with the teacher serving as a facilitator. Research shows it can be more effective than traditional instruction for academic achievement, long-term retention, and skill development. In the 21st century, project-based learning enhances students' technology knowledge as they use tools like virtual worlds, PowerPoint, wikis, podcasts, and webquests for their projects instead of traditional posters and papers. These tools promote collaboration and allow students to explore topics in more depth.

This document summarizes the constructivist learning theory and its key figures. It discusses Jean Piaget's cognitive stages, Jerome Bruner's view of participatory learning, and Lev Vygotsky's social cognition theory including the zone of proximal development. The document outlines constructivism's view that learning is an active process where students construct their own understanding through experience. It provides implications for constructivist classrooms, including collaborative work, hands-on activities, and facilitating student-led discussions and conclusions with or without technology.

Q2 t overview for training instructors

Arizona State University

Quest2Teach is a series of game-infused virtual learning curricula and online network designed for teacher education. It aims to help pre-service teachers bridge educational theory and classroom practice. Students create avatars and play narrative scenarios focused on different theories. They can safely fail and see the impact of decisions. Research found the games highly engaging and that they helped students see themselves as professionals and increased teaching confidence and commitment. The games provide experiences that are difficult to get in traditional coursework, like solving authentic problems and gaining fluency in theories in action.

Courses as research projects and students in the role as researchers

Kjetil Sandvik

The document summarizes a conference on using courses as research projects where students take on researcher roles. It describes a case study where a master's course on communication was turned into a research laboratory. Students were divided into research teams, given research questions from professors, and performed case studies and analysis. They presented their results as mini-conference papers. The course engaged students in the role of researchers and produced high-quality output. However, it faced obstacles from students' and universities' preconceptions about traditional learning. The document argues for learning communities and breaking hierarchies to facilitate collaborative knowledge production instead of knowledge acquisition.

Inclusive_Education_Community

This document discusses user collaboration to develop tools for universal web design. It proposes a user testing tool (UTT) to test websites for accessibility alongside an existing automated checker. The UTT would use crowd-sourcing to have many users test websites and provide feedback on barriers and solutions. Test results would be linked to a frequently asked questions database on accessibility. An open-source, collaborative approach is advocated to continuously improve the tools and accessibility of websites through multiple testing cycles with user input.

The document discusses the PERCEVAL project, which aims to evaluate the perceptual and cognitive effects of audiovisual quality degradation over long durations. It describes an experiment using a single stimulus continuous quality evaluation (SSCQE) method where participants adjusted the quality of a 30-minute video while automatic quality drops occurred every 3 minutes. The results showed that time did not influence quality expectations, reaction times to changes were consistent, and participants were less sensitive to external quality changes than self-adjusted ones. The conclusions were that long-term viewing does not impact quality expectations and degradation can be noticed at a consistent rate.

Sharon Mandler

Technology is evolving in such a way that previously distinguishable digitalized information formats, services, applications, networks, and business models are blending in ways that reduce distinctions. Furthermore, the lines are being blurred between on and offline activities—technology, specifically that which is based on social interaction, is merging with every facet of life As the way in which we consume and interact with information continues to evolve, brands and retailers in particular, must establish and maintain engagement with consumers at multiple information intersections. (For example mixing business/marketing content with personal/user generated content, or building campaigns that are screen agnostic)
