Blinded learning

Blinded learning

hi all
this is my coment




The first generation of e-learning or Web-based learning
programs focused on presenting physical classroom-based
instructional content over the Internet. Furthermore, firstgeneration
e-learning (digitally delivered learning)
programs tended to be a repetition or compilation of online
versions of classroom-based courses. The experience
gained from the first-generation of e-learning, often riddled
with long sequences of ‘page-turner’ content and pointand-
click quizzes, is giving rise to the realization that a
single mode of instructional delivery may not provide
sufficient choices, engagement, social contact, relevance,
and context needed to facilitate successful learning and
performance.
In the second wave of e-learning, increasing numbers of
learning designers are experimenting with blended learning
models that combine various delivery modes. Anecdotal
evidence indicates that blended learning not only offers
more choices but also is more effective

Hi all =)

How r u ??

Today we gonna talk about

Blinded learning

Blended Learning is learning which combines online and face-to-face approaches. The following material resulted from an ANTA-funded project which set out to investigate blended learning through a series of interviews with teachers.

A blended learning approach can combine face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction. It also applies science or IT activities with the assistance of educational technologies using computer, cellular or Smart phones, Satellite television channels, videoconferencing and other emerging electronic media. Learners and teachers work together to improve the quality of learning and teaching, the ultimate aim of blended learning being to provide realistic practical opportunities for learners and teachers to make learning independent, useful, sustainable and ever growing

Why we use the Blended Learning because students  need to benefit from technology seamlessly into the curriculum has become of paramount importance and they have an expectation of blended learning A vision of students today (YouTube video - opens in a new window)

Blended Learning Models

By Purnima Valiathan

The term blended learning is used to describe a solution that combines several different delivery methods, such as collaboration software, Web-based courses, EPSS, and knowledge management practices. Blended learning also is used to describe learning that mixes various event-based activities, including face-to-face classrooms, live e-learning, and self-paced learning. Unfortunately, there's no single formula that guarantees learning, but here are some guidelines from NIIT on how to order your learning activities.

NIIT categorizes blended learning into three models:

skill-driven learning, which combines self-paced learning with instructor or facilitator support to develop specific knowledge and skills

attitude-driven learning, which mixes various events and delivery media to develop specific behaviors

competency-driven learning, which blends performance support tools with knowledge management resources and mentoring to develop workplace competencies.

Safety internet and children

Saftey internet and children

Hi all

This is the most funny class we had
^^
Thank u teacher =)

.....

The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.

But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs"is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material.

Hello
These are tools to help protect children from the dangers of the Internet

Online tools are available that will let you control your kids' access to adult material and help protect them from Internet predators. No option is going to guarantee that they'll be kept away from 100% of the risks on the Internet. So it's important to be aware of your kids' computer activities and educate them about online risks.

Many Internet service providers (ISPs) provide parent-control options to block certain material from coming into a computer. You can also get software that helps block access to certain sites based on a "bad site" list that your ISP creates. Filtering programs can block sites from coming in and restrict personal information from being sent online. Other programs can monitor and track online activity. Also, make sure your kids create a screen name to protect their real identity.

Getting Involved in Kids' Online Activities

Aside from these tools, it's wise to take an active role in protecting your kids from Internet predators and sexually explicit materials online.

 To do that :

•Become computer literate and learn how to block objectionable material.

•Keep the computer in a common area, not in individual bedrooms, where you can watch and monitor its use.

•Share an email account with your child so you can monitor messages.

•Bookmark kids' favorite sites for easy access.

•Spend time online together to teach your kids appropriate online behavior.

•Forbid your child from entering private chat rooms; block them with safety features provided by your Internet service provider or with special filtering software. Be aware that posting messages to chat rooms reveals a user's email address to others.

•Monitor your credit card and phone bills for unfamiliar account charges.

•Find out what, if any, online protection is offered by your child's school, after-school center, friends' homes, or anyplace where kids could use a computer without your supervision.

•Take your child seriously if he or she reports an uncomfortable online exchange.

•Forward copies of obscene or threatening messages you or your kids get to your Internet service provider

Internet Child Safety

As most people know the internet can be an amazing resource and provide hours of fun for kids, but there is a side to the internet that can be worrying for any parent.

Chat rooms have been a main cause of concern for years, with adults posing as young children and chatting to unsuspecting kids, and in extreme cases trying to organise secret meetings with the child. Things are changing slowly and a lot of chat rooms are starting to monitor their sites more closely, but unfortunately not everyone is following suit.

Websites with explicit images are another problem that children may be exposed to, a few of these websites have a warning on their homepage alerting the user to the fact that the site contains this sort of material, but unfortunately not all of them.

Another major worry for a parent is spam email containing explicit images, most of this type of spam gets sent from countries where any type of law is not easily enforced and therefore the culprits can go on sending, hopefully one day we will see the end of this type of marketing but unfortunately at the moment it is here to stay.

There are things that can be done to protect your children from this type of exposure on the internet, and below we will cover a few of these things

Internet is concerned as a whole environment for people from all ages . It make the whole world as a small village . It has its advantages and disadvantages . It can be a wonderful in many different ways , getting researches for school  projects , communicating with others all over the world , playing interactive games . But this technology may become very dangerous for kids . when they chat with others  kids do not know it these people are good or bad . Also the websites are not the same . Some are good others are not . The interactive games may contain terror games these are dangerous for kids. So the parents must be aware of what their kids see , hear , need and play or the internet . The parents must talk with their kids about taking advantages of resources to protect them and keep a close eye on their activities ..

Education technology in early childhood years

Hi Girls =)How r u ? Hope U all Fine ^^today we gonna talk about

education technology in early childhood  years

^^ enjoy !!

Early Childhood Today: Are young children's brains (ages three through six) well suited to the use of technology? (We define technology as children using cameras, computers, tape recorders and video cameras in classroom projects.) If so, how? Are some forms of technology better than others for these specific age levels?

I see technology doing the same things today. The brain clearly could not have a "genetics" specific for the use of a joystick. Nor could the brain have a genetics specific for continuous attention to a two-dimensional moving image such as those in the television. Yet external symbolic representation such as the written word, visual images on television, and complex three-dimensional videography are all sensed, processed, stored, and acted on by the human brain. Because the brain literally changes in response to experiences, these "new" (from a historical perspective) experiences (the written word or television) cause changes in brain development, brain organization, and brain function that were never expressed hundreds of generations ago.

Modern technologies are very powerful because they rely on one of the most powerful genetic biases we do have — the preference for visually presented information. The human brain has a tremendous bias for visually presented information. Television, movies, videos, and most computer programs are very visually oriented and therefore attract and maintain the attention of young children.

The problem with this is that many of the modern technologies are very passive. Because of this they do not provide children with the quality and quantity of crucial emotional, social, cognitive, or physical experiences they require when they are young. The developing child requires the right combination of these experiences at the right times during development in order to develop optimally. This cannot happen if the child is sitting for hours passively watching television.

Hi Girls =)How r u ? Hope U all Fine
Thank for you Lamya My comment is :-http://www.findingdulcinea.com/docroot/dulcinea/fd_images/guides/Education/Early-Childhood-Education/guides/0/image.jpg

Most experts believe computers are not developmentally appropriate for children under the age of three. Others believe that children of three years old and older can begin to use computers and get benefit from them . Children at an early age are naturally curious . They like exploring world around them . They are interested in using newly things . they are also active . To evaluate whether computers are appropriate for children over age three , we need to know the needs of these children .They need frequent changes in learning modalities , they need variety of physical play , claiming &sports . Many of these needs match up well with appropriate use of technology in classroom , The danger, however, is that computers will be used only to reinforce the national trend toward earlier and more academic skill acquisition, and that other important developmental needs will be ignored. Further, there is a danger that developmental needs not met through technology will be ignored or radically compromised: physical play, outdoor exploration of the community and of nature; art, music and dance; learning specific social skills and moral values, and experiencing diversity in a myriad of ways. Some also believe the easy access of information through computers will prevent our children from developing the persistence, ingenuity, tenacity, social adeptness and hard work needed to survive in the world .These are all realistic fears, based on the pressure of politicians and most parents, and the ever-present reality of very limited resources in most early childhood programs and elementary schools. And, finally, there is the reality that, all too often, computers are used in ways that are simply developmentally inappropriate - most often used for drill and practice purposes. So, how can we implement computers into the curriculum in a positive way?This is a video about Technology Integration in an Elementary School Classroom

Hello all
How are you?Thank you, dear Lamia, share your opinion in your words, but not all technology should be made available to our children, there are good and others good, modern technologies are very powerful because they rely on one of the most powerful genetic biases Us - preference information presented visually.There are a variety of methods of education according to the changed perception of the nature of the learning process after that was based on the simple things widened to include the knowledge levels of cognitive abilities, which requires a positive learner education in order to demonstrate the capabilities of prospective students of modern and upgrading of traditional methods of education in line with contemporary life, and therefore Many theories have emerged to assist the breeding of many acquisition of social skills and mental and motor function of the teacher talk according to the methods of the present opportunity for learners to gain knowledge about Thimcilvis

hi girls :)my coment :\Computers in the Classroom

“In developmentally appropriate settings children make many choices regarding when and how long they use learning resources. Computers should be no different (Haugland, 2000, p. 17). Preschool and kindergarten children should first be introduced to computers one at a time, or in small groups. Every child should have an opportunity to experience ample hands-on opportunity to explore 4-5 different software programs. Once each child has had this hands-on experience, the computer center becomes one of many equally important learning centers. It should have several chairs close by, to encourage children to work together, and to encourage the more advanced students to act as peer tutors. This also develops cooperative learning activities. Teachers and other adults should resist interfering or helping the children. The maximum number allowed for the center should be determined, and a waiting list established. Children should place their name - or name tag if they can’t write - on the list.This approach cannot be implemented with only one computer in the classroom. Haugland suggests a ratio of one computer to seven students, the best situation being one to five. If there are not enough computers to go around, it’s better to have two or three in one classroom for a month or two, and then move them into another classroom, than to have one in each classroom all the time (Haugland, 1999). To fully integrate computers into the curriculum teachers should take the goals of the curriculum and find ways these can be implemented. Further, since it takes time and effort to this, it is advisable to start with one curriculum area, such as language art, or social studies, and adapt that curriculum to include computer integration, before moving one to another.The use of computers in a fully integrated classroom is endless. Software can be used to create books, with dictated tests and illustrations; photos of children and the community can be taken with digital cameras and then combined with text and pictures to create journals, biographies, wall newspapers, school/home communications, and neighborhood documents. Older children can use scanners, font selection, and various graphics application, to develop power-point presentations to show the rest of the class and parent gatherings. And, of course, Internet sites can be accessed to do research on almost all topics. There are also wonderful opportunities for correspondence activities with children throughout the world.this is a link

Hello girls.I want to add to this interesting add.Contribute to developing the skills of information technology and telecommunications in the early childhood years in one form or another child to develop technological skills and understanding of the evolution of teachers and parents interested in the culture of technology.The beginning I'll explain the concept of the development of technology skills in the early childhood years that help children to identify the range of products which are used for information processing, storage, retrieval, transfer, or access to and knowledge of reading and writing e is a new form of knowledge, we must accept it now on an equal footing with the arts and sciences and music.Information technology and communications and how to regulate people's access to information. So that it is sometimes considered to reading and writing as a matter of technological issues of citizenship. In the early years of life. Says Dr. Salimon: The use of information technology in the early years of life involves enhancing educational opportunities for young children and can be applied in a manner developed in order to encourage them to play exploratory, useful, and encourage them to debate and innovation, problem solving and addressing the risks and flexible thinking. And the achievement of the enjoyment of all require well-trained teachers and the necessary skills to use information and communication technology when dealing with children. And therefore the writers and educational officials and caregivers should seek to develop their skills in this area, using the most appropriate research and references.
