Choosing the Best Technology - An eLearning Technology Compass

Choosing the Best Technology - An eLearning Technology Compass | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From iteachu.uaf.edu - December 8, 2014 10:57 PM
Beth Dichter's insight:

This eLearning Technology Compass provides another way to help you choose technology tools. Working from the inner circle towards the outer circle you will find

* Goals

* Competencies

* Performance Assessments

* Ring of Technologies

Under this visual you will also find a detailed table that lists:

* Desired Competencies

* Rationale

* Related Activities

* Potential Technologies

And the site also provides tutorials on many of the tools.

This is like a one stop shop that will help you find great tools to help students grow skills in the desired competencies.

'Can we fix it' is the right question to ask - Telegraph

'Can we fix it' is the right question to ask - Telegraph | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.telegraph.co.uk - March 30, 2012 3:11 PM
Business leaders should follow Bob the Builder's example and ask themselves if they can achieve their goals – research shows it will increase the chances of success.

In a nifty set of experiments, three social scientists explored the differences between what they call "declarative" self-talk (I will fix it!) and "interrogative" self-talk (Can I fix it?). They began by presenting a group of participants with some anagrams to solve (for example, rearranging the letters in "sauce" to spell "cause".) But before the participants tackled the problem, the researchers asked one half of them to take a minute to ask themselves whether they would complete the task – and the other half to tell themselves that they would complete the task.
The results?
