  1. Online Learning Growing students online and on task. http://betsynorris.com

  2. Today’s Learner • Mounting evidence indicates that a student born after 1982 has a different relationship with information and learning than previous generations. This is a direct result of computer-enabled technologies. • Despite their young ages 27% of 4 to 6 year olds use a computer daily.

  3. Today’s Student A 21st Century student is a • Multi-tasker who uses sound and images to convey content (creators) • Text is needed (or wanted) only if technology does not support something better (such as chat rooms). • ROTFL, B4, LOL, POS, CD9, GNSTDLTBBB, CUL8R, Text Dictionary • <3, *$, 182, ;),:P, emoticons Text answers

  4. So how do we teach these students? • Less emphasis on memory • More weight on connections • Thinking and solving • Move beyond absorbing information • Life long process of coping with change. • Manipulating resources. • Learning how to learn • Recognize traits: Digitally literate, social, technology is a part of them, crave interactivity, strong visual-spatial skills, inductive discovery, short attention span • Process more information in 24 hours than the average person processed in a lifetime. • Prefer hands on activities over listening.

  5. Difference between teacher and student: • Teacher’s role • Provides multimedia • Facilitates • Teaches less faster, less sequential, and provides greater random access to knowledge.

  6. Instructional Methods • Online learning • Blended courses • Continuous and formative assessment • Greater flexibility to customizing course content to meet learner needs • Classroom is a virtual space • Online quizzes, forms for feedback, voting, games, creation and publication, message boards, forums and discussion boards, multimedia • Immersive and collaborative activities • Connecting, creating, active participation

  7. Moodle – Online, open source LMS. Fall……..184 students….70% successful!

  8. Khan’s Academyhttp://www.khanacademy.org/

  9. Yes, you Khan! • Their library of videos covers K-12 math, science topics such as biology, chemistry, and physics, and even reaches into the humanities with playlists on finance and history. Each video is a digestible chunk, approximately 10 minutes long, and especially purposed for viewing on the computer.

  10. Flipped Classrooms • Flipped classrooms use technology — online video instruction, laptops, DVDs of lessons — to reverse what students traditionally have done in class and at home to learn. Listening to lectures becomes the homework assignment, so teachers can provide more one-on-one attention in class and students can work at their own paces or with other students. Source

  11. Flipped Classroom • It might not be the answer to all pedagogical prayers, but some educators say that flipping is an effective way to teach a generation that’s grown up on YouTube. • There is a type of "blended learning" that is a combination of online and face-to-face approaches.  Source

  12. Flipping Your Classroom • Using screencasting technology is not a one-size fits-all methodology to be rolled out on a large scale because it would be foolish to use this tool when it is not appropriate to do so; it is tool in the toolbox of education that prevents a teacher from wasting class time lecturing. This tool spends class time meeting the individual needs of students." • It allows the teacher to maintain the use of appropriate direct instruction.

  13. Technology is the key ingredient in flipping a classroom, because students must have Internet access after school hours in order to watch the lessons that educators record and upload. There are many flipped class facilitators online as well as social networks for flipping, like the Flipped Class Network. Instead of creating videos, teachers could assign Internet video tutorials that are already available. One of the most widely watched online teachers is Salman Khan, who founded the Khan Academy, which now offers over 2700 instructional videos online.

  14. Show me the data!

  15. So how do you record your videos and where do you store your them?

  16. Making a video can be as simple as an iPad and iTunes. • Pressed for time and struggling to reach a generation raised on YouTube, a growing number of teachers are digitally recording lessons with a tablet computer as a virtual blackboard, then uploading them to iTunes and assigning them as homework. In class the following day, a teacher helps students work the exercises and answer questions.

  17. Jing (free) and Snagit (educational vs is $29.00) The easiest way to post a video is through Jing,captures anything on you see on your computer screen, as an image or short video (with or without audio), and lets you share it instantly. Snagit is an enhanced Jing. You can actually import Jing movies into Snagit.
