“When we have a rich meta-strategic base for our thinking, that helps us to be more independent learners,” said Project Zero senior research associate Ron Ritchhart at a Learning and the Brain conference. “If we don’t have those strategies, if we aren’t aware of them, then we’re waiting for someone else to direct our thinking.”

this article talks about the importance of how children think and learn. the author stresses on the fact that for better learning, students need to have a better structure for learning, hence the title. the author states students often do not have a good structure for thinking. students tend just to memorize things and don't know how to do deep learning. the author states that teachers only teach one part of this structure. which is thinking about thinking. the structre for better thinking is not only thinking about thinking though, there is more to it. the only part of it is to monitoring and directing thinking. " When a student is reading and stops to realize he’s not really understanding the meaning behind the words, that’s monitoring. And most powerfully, directing thinking happens when students can call upon specific thinking strategies to redirect or challenge their own thinking." monitoring is being able to check up on yourself and regulate your own learning and directing is when students can take charge of their learning and direct it to what works for them in their self learning. this article talks about the importance of deeper thinking and learning and then switches to how educators can help with the process. i chose this article because i think that it is an important thing for students in K-12 grades. in my highschool, my graduating year, they had put in place a program called common core, which emphasizes this specific topic in student learning. sadly i was not able to partake in it however i do think that it is important for incoming students learn how to think and learn deeper.

I agree with what this article says and I consider that education in public schools in Colombia must have into account the theory and the strategies proposed by Ritchhart. It is very important teach students to think by themselves, to take decisions in their learning, to have critical thinking skills, is more useful and meaningful for their learning, that just provide information for them to memorize it. They would not know what to do with this information, and there will be no learning.

Jackie GERSTEIN: I absolutely love planning lessons from scratch. I just got a job teaching technology units for a summer camp for elementary age students. I can design and teach whatever I want – planning for a different theme each week. Some of the themes I am planning are: Expanding and Showing Your Personal Interests Through Blogging, Photos, and Videos; Coding and Creating Online Games; Tinkering and Making – Simple Robotics; Hacking Your Notebook; and Creating Online Comics, Newspapers, and Magazines. I have begun the process of planning these classes through reflecting on what the lessons will look like.

[…] the authors set forth an initial set of architectural entities that describe and define a network of individuals associated together in order to collectively achieve some goal. As the title implies, these associations are focused on learning but in a very broad sense that includes formal education, informal and professional learning, and social action. The structures that we devise and sustain to support this learning are referred to as networks – aggregations based upon connections of people and resources, that in this context are focused on learning – and of course doing so productively.

The scooped article reviews a book edited by Lucila Carvalho and Peter Goodyear. It contains a collection of stories on networked learning that share the intention to look at learning networks as designed entities. As one of the contributors to the book I should say no more about it and let Terry Anderson’s review speak for itself. However, if his review does wet your appetite I should perhaps confess that I myself am quite enamoured with the collection of articles that has emerged. I genuinely belief this book, to which I only made a very small contribution, marks an important step in the efforts to come up with a theoretical foundation for networked learning. @pbsloep

Calendars come in all sorts of forms, from the purely functional apps on our smartphones to the propped-up desktop ones that are mostly just a means of delivering a new Far Side joke every day. The Units of Measure Calendar Poster, as its name suggests, isn’t the most straightforward one to categorize. Or even one that’s easy to recognize as a calendar at all.
It doesn’t leave any room for you to jot down appointments, though it does include all 365 days, which you can notch off one by one. Mostly, it’s just an exquisite graphical compilation of 12 different units of measurement, a tightly packed collection of diagrams and conversion tables and other neat looking things of the sort.

Programs like Photoshop and Illustrator prompt perfection by bringing mathematics to bear on our inexact lines, make perfect circles out of our warbly loops, and create the exact #xxxxxx for our pixelated palettes. While technology plays a big role in the data visualization world, it can come at a loss of variation: the unique stories that only our own hands can tell. For designers and journalists, there are a number of good reasons to design by hand... Last week, Pratt-educated street typographer Pablo A. Medina gave a lecture at New York’s Type Directors Club. His fonts — Cuba, Vitrina, North Bergen — are as irregular as the signs from which they hail. It’s an irregularity Medina acquiesces to in his artwork, in which he paints new messages using old, found fonts. Handmade designs are more personal, more expressive, more fun. He’s not the first to notice. Famous artists like Greg Lamarche and Margaret Killigan, as well as underground grafitti artists around the world have all realized the beauty of creating by hand. It’s not perfect — and that exactly is the point.
In general, creating graphics the old-fashioned way is great for those who have not yet mastered software, and it enables more freedom of movement and, by extension, expression. Even if you are too afraid to let a little bit of yourself out when designing data visualizations, mock up creations by hand. Designing visualizations this way can still be faster and have fewer limitations...

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, L'UMOOC est de retour en 2017. D'une part pour vous souhaiter ses meilleurs vœux pour 2017 et toutes les années à venir Ensuite pour vous faire part de la liste des 20 infographies mises en avant par vos pairs. Avant de délivrer le classement, nous tenons tout d'abord à mettre en évidence que la réussite du MOOC est tout d'abord la vôtre, celle que vous aurez définie. Tout ce à quoi vous aurez contribué, chaque petit pas ou toute plus grande avancée possède son mérite et doit être valorisée. Vous savez ce que vous avez appris, ce que vous avez produit, ce que vous avez échangé, partagé, réfléchi, imaginé... selon vos contraintes et vos ambitions, vos qualités et vos limites. Tout cela possède une valeur que nous reconnaissons même si elle est parfois invisible pour certains yeux. Donc, félicitations à chaque participant : la richesse du MOOC est aussi celles des différences qui s'expriment et s'acceptent. Après, certains sont venus parce qu'ils devaient (!) suivre le MOOC, d'autres parce qu'ils voulaient bénéficier d'une attestation, certains se sont pris au jeu, d'autres s'attendaient à plus de ceci ou à moins de cela... Nous avons proposé des activités, contraignantes ou plus libres, convergentes ou plus divergentes, individuelles ou collaboratives, créatives ou plus classiques. Voici donc venu le temps de mettre en évidence certaines des productions. Nous ne pensons pas qu'elles ont plus de valeur que d'autres, elles rentrent simplement dans un cadre organisationnel particulier. Dans les jours qui viennent, nous allons mettre en évidence quelques résultats et productions : Ce jour, les 20 infographies mises en évidence par vous, ceux et celles qui avez voté pour les infographies de vos collègues que vous avez pu visionner parmi la masse énorme des productions réalisées (nous avons réceptionné 274 infographies de la part des 911 groupes qui se sont constitués. Vous avez été 206 votants à prendre le temps de regarder, analyser et compléter le questionnaire de vote qui vous a été proposé.) Nous vous présentons donc les 20 infographies mises en évidence par les participants eux-mêmes. La présentation des infographies élues est organisée selon les numéros des groupes (par ordre croissant). Il n'y a donc aucune hiérarchie entre ces 20 "choix". Même si un nombre leur est associé, c’est celui de leur position dans l’ordre de leur numéro respectif. Toutes sont à égalité : elles font partie des plus choisies par vous, les participants du MOOC. Un deuxième vote aura lieu parmi les 20 infographies mises en avant par les responsable et organisateurs du MOOC dont vous êtes le héros. Ce comité élira un TOP 5 qui sera communiqué la semaine prochaine. Nous commencerons par le 5eme, etc.. et ainsi de suite chaque jour jusqu'au 1er plébiscité par le comité scientifique et organisateur. Ensuite, nous souhaitons aussi mettre en évidence quelques résultats exceptionnels aux QCM.... 4 participant(e)s ont en effet atteint le score de 100 % au test final. Nous les en féliciterons spécifiquement dans le courant de cette semaine. Et, enfin, nous ne le répéterons jamais assez, le grand bonheur de ce MOOC se niche dans la qualité des interactions que vous avez pu avoir entre vous et avec nous. Merci de cette aventure d'un dispositif massif qui met bien en évidence qu'au-delà du nombre c'est la richesse en humanité qui est et reste essentielle. Et c'est bien cela que nous retenons. Nous souhaitons et espérons que, vous aussi, ce MOOC vous ait apporté l'une ou l'autre satisfaction. Merci à toutes et à tous en tous les cas.

A personal learning environment (PLE) is a solution for keeping up with the rapid pace of knowledge change. Some say it is a concept, while others say it is a technology. I think a good definition is this: a self-directed and evolving environment of tools, services and resources organized by a person seeking a way to accomplish lifetime learning, to create, and to connect with others of similar interests. Because it is personalized, everyone’s PLE will be unique. Because it is collaborative, information may be continually created and shared. In the workplace, designing a personal learning environment has the potential to partially replace conventional courses.

Design Thinking has led to many of the innovations we have become (very) accustomed to; think the computer mouse and almost anything turned out by Apple Inc.

Designing processes, services and even whole organizations from a user-oriented mindset can lead to innovation as well as cost savings and competitive advantage. But what does design thinking look like? And what does it involve?
