Nevertheless - the situation is not hopeless and people are capable of change and are often willing to do so. You are likely to achieve the desired success, if you consider the following four "change levers":


Attitude & Motivation


Knowledge & Skills


Structures & Processes


Role Models & Culture

Blogger teilen sich nicht nur gerne mit, sie haben auch etwas zu sagen. Trotzdem kommt es vor, dass du gerade nicht den richtigen Einfall zu fassen bekommst. Oder gar keinen hast.

 

Vor allem diejenigen, die nicht für sich selbst bloggen, sondern das im Auftrag tun, die Corporate Blogger kennen das Problem. Schließlich gibt es Termine, Auftraggeber und Vorgesetzte. Da kann man sich schon mal schwertun.

 

Trotzdem kann der Bloggerblues jeden von uns überkommen. Dann sitzt man da, bläst Trübsal und wünscht sich eine Idee herbei. Eine Idee wäre jetzt die Rettung – oder eine Methode.

When using advanced eLearning authoring tools we are sometimes tempted to follow a mechanistic approach to designing feedback. It is easy to use templates or just to copy and paste automatic feedback comments in quizzes. 


However, we should remember that proper feedback can be a very influential mechanism with an ability to improve people’s competencies. To use the full power and potential of feedback in eLearning we need to spend much more time on designing it and just forget about doing simplified work on it.

6 Rules to Break for Better, Deeper Learning Outcomes

6 Rules to Break for Better, Deeper Learning Outcomes | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
As educators, we know when students tune in -- and we know when they tune out. The more elusive question is why. There is emerging consensus that the 20th-century approach to education, which favors methods such as lectures and rote learning, is standing in the way of making school relevant to more students.

Fortunately, research is catching up with our intuition and validating the practices that we know work in the classroom. One vision in particular, about what students should be able to do and know, is picking up steam. It's called deeper learning.

The Benefits
Deeper learning is a set of learning outcomes for students that include:

Mastery of core academic content
Critical thinking and problem solving
Productive collaboration
Effective communication
An ability to direct their own learning and exhibit a strong academic mindset.

How to write engaging tweets in 280 characters | #SocialMedia #Twitter #Communication #Publishing #DigitalMarketing #Press #Journalism 

How to write engaging tweets in 280 characters | #SocialMedia #Twitter #Communication #Publishing #DigitalMarketing #Press #Journalism  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

If you want to be a successful digital marketer, then you should be aware of the latest updates related to social media. Being one of the most widely used social media platforms out there, Twitter keeps on redefining itself. A while back, it announced the latest update regarding the 280 character limit for tweets. The update was certainly a big relief to many as almost all the marketers used to struggle with the previous 140 character limit.

Now, you can easily level up your social media marketing game on Twitter and reach out to a wider audience for sure. To make things easier for you, I have come up with some expert suggestions that will help you make the most of the Twitter’s latest update.

Details of Twitter’s new update (in a nutshell)
For almost a year now, there have been speculations about the Twitter’s new character limit. It was in the last quarter of 2017 when Twitter finally announced the 280-character update for posting tweets. For languages except Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, Twitter has increased the character limit for tweets from 140 to 280 characters. The attached photos, GIFs, polls, etc. won’t be counted as characters. Though, if you will include a URL, then it will increase the character count. Therefore, it is still recommended to use a URL shortening service while including website links in tweets.

12 ways to make the most of Twitter’s new update
Now when you can tweet in 280 characters, you don’t need to double-check every word you write. Furthermore, it can help you answer customer queries or explain a product to your audience. Here are some interesting ways to use Twitter’s new update.

THINKING CLASSROOM PHILOSOPHY IN 4 QUESTIONS

 

What ?

Teach learners how to think and learn Discover, value and use learners' strengths and interests
Combine the best new educational practices with the best traditional ones
Build and enrich learning relationships
Develop growth mindset characteristics and grit

 

Why ?

Because learners need knowledge, flexible skills and grit to succeed
Because future economic & life success depends on skills and creativity
Because everyone learns in a unique way
Because education must continually prepare learners for an exciting but uncertain future
Because of Article 13a, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

 

How ?

By continually increasing the effectiveness of teaching
By teaching for character as well as content
By valuing each learner for what they do well
By educating for skills, character and values as well as knowledge
By preparing learners for their futures not our pasts
By valuing, supporting and resourcing all educators

 

What if...

All learners were engaged, excited and interested in their lessons?
'School' evolved to match different lifestyles and different learning styles?
Teachers had time to enjoy their profession and real opportunities to thrive?
There was only one initiative and it was called "Learning"?

Does the average person even know or understand what a blog is? Do professionals understand how blogs influence their profession? Are teachers using blogs as both relevant reading and writing tools? Are students using blogs to create their voice? Do people in general see any importance in blogging to reflect, question, criticize, or improve the world in which we live?

Do blogs have a value in our world today that is at least understood, if not appreciated, by those who should? Does the access to blogs require too much tech savvy, critical thinking, and a mindset different from the 20th Century to prevent the acceptance of blogs as a change force in our 21st Century world?

 

Will a large enough group of people even read this post to make a difference or will people need to print it out to share copies with others?

Teachers' Guide to Using Blogs in Class

Teachers' Guide to Using Blogs in Class | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In an earlier post here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning, we argued that setting up a class virtual space in the cloud is an indispensable task for today's teachers. This space can preferably be a website, a blog, or a wiki or, if possible, all of them. The educational benefits of having such a space for students include:
  • Improve students writing skills through posting and commenting
  • Helps students have a voice 
  • Promote the notion of independent and personalized learning
  • Promote a spirit of collaboration among students
  • Engage parents in the learning taking place in the classroom
  • Connect with students from other schools and exchange with them learning experiences.

Potential Power of Blogging for Pedagogy

Potential Power of Blogging for Pedagogy | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
I believe in the potential power of blogging. I believe it can be harnessed to be a powerful pedagogical tool in the 21st Century.

 

4 Benefits of Integrating Blogging into Pedagogy

1. Blogs promote participation and collaboration of knowledge and skills. There are a myriad of resources available on the internet that can help students become creators, and not merely consumers of different texts and bodies of knowledge.

 

2. Blogs promote global communication and collaboration. Teachers can facilitate interactions with diverse cultures, ethnicities, and religions, and social contexts. Students can be helped to challenging their thinking by considering other viewpoints.

 

3. Blogs promote the critical analysis of pedagogy and literacies.

 

4. Blogs create the potential for interactive spaces for authentic exchanges. Strategies including reading logs, book reviews, parental communication, encouraging reading and writing and responding around a particular theme or focus.

If we can harness this power, we have a strong pedagogical tool on our hands. As with other areas in education, we can begin to harness this power by asking ourselves the right kinds of questions that can bring about the results we want to see.

The Critical 21st Century Skills Every Student Needs and Why

The Critical 21st Century Skills Every Student Needs and Why | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Our Big List of 21st Century Skills
The Global Digital Citizen Foundation has given hundreds of presentations to educators and administrators in several countries over the years. Each time we’ve spoken, we have asked them what they feel are the most important 21st century skills students need above all others.
The answers that we’ve recieved most often are narrowed down below. This list comes from our book Literacy is Not Enough (Crockett, Lee et. al.; 2011). You’ll be able to see that these points correlate rather well with both the New Zealand’s capabilities list and the IB Learner Profile. They certainly cover the Common Core’s bases, too. It’s good to know we’re all on the same page, isn’t it? That’s great news for our students!
So, according to the folks we’ve asked, the consensus is that students need to acquire transparency-level skills in the following areas:


Problem solving
Creativity
Analytic thinking
Collaboration
Communication
Ethics, action, and accountabillty
