We must lead the shift to a way that maximizes opportunities for investigation, problem solving, and collaboration while maintaining assurance that each child is gaining knowledge, and is able to apply it both alone and with others.
Kirsten Wilson's insight:

Excellent argument and validation for Instructional Leaders to be at the forefront of the cutting edge in instruction.  That involves conceptual learning, instructional technology that redefines the learning, and quality instructional implementation both in classrooms and in professional development.

Why Infographics are Good for ELearning

Why Infographics are Good for ELearning | Blended Technology and the 21st Century Classroom | Scoop.it
From www.learndash.com - February 18, 2015 10:43 AM

"Graphics can often make or beak an online course. Rarely today do you see a course that doesn’t contain any relevant images – although I have unfortunately come across some. Luckily most elearning will make use of graphics, but sometimes they are not implemented properly."


Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Kirsten Wilson's insight:

As we consider different types of platforms of writing and communicating, infographics are a form that should consistently be modeled and created by students. If we are preparing our students with the ability for future success infographics will be one of the main ways information will be shared and conveyed.

Empathy: The Big Reason College Professors Should Take A MOOC | Blended Technology and the 21st Century Classroom | Scoop.it
From www.edudemic.com - September 4, 2014 10:55 AM
A common joke among college teachers is that our students “get younger every year.” This fall we will marvel that our students were born in the year Bill Clinton ran for a second term, Madeleine Albright was appointed the first female secretary of state, the Unabomber was arrested and Dolly the cloned sheep was born. …

Understanding our students and the world they live in is imperative.  As we are using technology as a platform to deliver content it is more important than ever we be able to empathize with the students who utilize the courses we provide.

The best point being that we rarely consume what we offer after we are done with our own education.  Good to put ourselves in our students shoes to learn something outside of our comfort zone again.

Pamela Alaniz's curator insight, May 13, 2019 8:50 PM
When I created an assignment for one of my Master classes I experimented with Goggle Forms as one of my assessments and as a means of getting back feedback fro my learners and boy was it fun. Google forms would be a perfect fit in building tests, quizzes, and questionnaires to get your students work automatically graded therefore saving you more time. My mom is a 1st grade teacher and one of the things she struggles with is to stay up to date with her Read Naturally data sheet, and using a google form that is already built into her Google classroom would really help her keep track of her student's progress much easier. However, my mom is an old school, traditional teacher and doesn't use other devices except for her projector and document reader for classroom instruction. She has never assimilated into the new technological innovations and as she nears retirement she believes it is to late for her to learn, however it would make her life in the classroom much easier. This would be a great article for her to read so she could see the benefits of using Google apps to transform her classroom.
