Really interesting article shared by Krista Giordano, who
teaches online Expo 12 at Murrieta Mesa.
It explores the changes universities are facing as online learning takes
off, as well as the trepidation this is causing with regard to what happens to
the quality of learning. In this
article, he focuses on how important quality pedagogy, student-to-student and
teacher-to-student learning will be to make online learning. It affirms the three R's we are trying
to infuse into our district online learning programs: rigor, relevance, and
relationships. NOT just computer
assisted instruction! As the
article states, the brain is NOT a computer: The Campus Tsunami.
I recently had an opportunity to listen to Michael Horn speak at this year's Curriculum and Instruction Leadership Symposium at Asilomar. I have since become a huge fan of his Disrupting Class blog on Forbes. Check out his latest post: Making Education Innovation Come to Life.
If you haven't discovered Google Books, I highly encourage you to check out the Google Books: Search and Embed from the EdTech team. Nice way to quickly see the usefulness of this resource for teaching and learning.
Finally, as many of you continue to explore applications for the iPad in your classrooms, this is a nice roundup of resources from ZDNet: 50 Resources for iPad Use in the Classroom.
