Comment créditer les images ? | Formation et culture numérique - Thot Cursus | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Lors de la publication d’une image sur internet, certains crédits sont à porter pour respecter les droits d’auteur. Si c’est une évidence pour le papier, le web ne déroge pas à la règle, malgré un laisser-aller général en la matière.

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work for students or teachers

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work for students or teachers | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

 In discussions around education reform, we have begun to recognize that a one-size-fits-all model doesn’t work for all of our students, yet there’s little conversation about differentiating PD for teachers, despite differences in experience, content areas taught, and learning preferences.

Teachers Inspiring Teachers in a New Age of PD - Getting Smart

Teachers Inspiring Teachers in a New Age of PD - Getting Smart | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
A major shift in the force of education has emerged as teachers have become self-directed, independent designers of their own learning.

Via Mary Perfitt-Nelson
Gust MEES's insight:

THE "Self-Directed" (autodidact) is very important, learning at its own pace and by own design; curation plays a big role there and I recommend to any Learner!

 

Curation together with Social Media Twitter and a PLN (Personal Learning Network) are an unbeatable Trio!

Imagine getting all of the key notes of the thought leaders in the conference pushed to you in real time. That is why we love Twitter with our conferences.

 

We have found twitter to be a great learning augmentation and support tool for conferences and key leanring events. We use a hashtag and then produce a tweetbook post conference and share with attendees. These community notelbooks are great to recap conferences in blog posts, share learning with people unable to attend, and extend the insights from the conferences.

Gust MEES's insight:

You can ONLY give BEST and QUALITY courses when knowing about the latest knowledge in a 21st Century Education. But ===> HOW TO know this? <===

 

That’s a question I am getting asked very often from Teachers and Teacher-Students around the world through my Social Media presence on Twitter and I must say what I see on a global base doesn’t make me feel really happy!

 

Lots of teachers around the globe are tweeting, which I encourage to do as much as possible by joining ALSO a so called “PLN“, a “Personal Learning Network“, but ONLY a few shows a real understanding, competencies, about what they are doing; even the so called “Edu-Stars” in certain countries!

AZk12 - Professional Development for Educators

AZk12 - Professional Development for Educators | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it


The Arizona K12 Center at Northern Arizona University has developed aTechnology Integration Matrix (TIM) designed to help K–12 teachers understand whether they are “doing it right” when it comes to integrating technology in the classroom. The matrix aligns five levels of technology integration—entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and transformation—with five characteristics of meaningful learning—active, collaborative, constructive, authentic and goal directed. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.Click Here to Access Free Matrix

The Real Value of Understanding Communication Styles

The Real Value of Understanding Communication Styles | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

As a leader, communication skills rank near the top of our list of important skills.  Because of their importance, these skills are talked about and written about a lot.  Much training takes place every day, designed to help leaders get better at these important skills.

 

One of the reasons communication is difficult is that not everyone communicates in the same way, with the same tendencies or styles.  This isn’t news; you already knew that.

Cool Cat Teacher Blog: 10 Ways to be a Terrible Teacher

Cool Cat Teacher Blog: 10 Ways to be a Terrible Teacher | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Teaching is a noble calling. That is why when a teacher doesn't behave nobly it breaks trust and we get upset. I have to admit that I've had days as a "TT" (Terrible Teacher.) If we're honest with ourselves, we all have. It is usually when we're tired, grumpy or were woken up by a parent calling to complain about something we don't really agree with. But there are no excuses. As I've been teaching 10 years, I believe I have few days as a TT if any but there are certainly things I can improve upon

So, today, I'll share a few of the things I think make a teacher terrible.
