MayÂ 2015,Â Museums are no dinosaur!Museums and New Instructional ResourcesÂ Â Weâ€™ve all experienced the museum as a place to go as a member of an elementary class or on a stormy weekend day. In the internet age, museums have an audience far beyond those who walk through the doors. Museums have a long history of creating resources to help teachers plan a class visit and materials for students that extend their visit into the classroom and home. In this show, we will explore a new generation of

AprilÂ 2015, Play to Learn Part 1: Educational Games as Mainstream Instructional ResourcesÂ It is a quite common thing to say that anything that requires work is â€œnot all fun and gamesâ€. Students often use this phrase to describe learning both in and out of the classroom. Parents responding to whining children who donâ€™t want to do their homework use it too. So, if it is not all fun and games, how much of it can be? We know that most mammals learn through play, honing the skills that they will

Play to Learn, Part I: When will educational games be mainstream instructional resources, or are they already?What is the role of play for humans? In our rather puritanical society is play a valid method to support learning or does it change the game? Will our cultural norms accommodate gaming or will communities respond by asking schools to engage in serious learning and dispense with this sort of learner engagement? Our guests on this show represent different perspectives in the business of gaming

MarchÂ 2015, Education Canaries: Can Data Rich Systems Predict and Prevent Failure? One of the significant promises of big data in education is to predict and prevent student failure. Of course we want to see learners succeed and data can help us with that as well, however, catching students before they get lost or even drop out is essential. Some visionaries see technology as driving learning through increasingly intelligent prompts, assessments of learning, and directing learners to ever more

Re-forming Summative Assessments: Blurring the line between learning and testing We will explore the following questions: What does a learning environment look like where learning and assessment are seamlessly integrated? What are the benefits and issues with this approach? Does this require technology or are there strategies that transcend the use of technology? How does this integration fit in a world of high stakes assessment? How can a content developer take advantage of this strategy to

January 2015,Â Re-forming Summative Assessments:Â Blurring the line between learning and testing What if we could make that timeless question â€˜Will this be on the testâ€™ irrelevant? In todayâ€™s mainstream educational system we clearly differentiate between assessment and learning. Even when it comes to assessment meant to inform learning (formative assessment) we tend to distinguish between learning and showing that we learned new content and skills. What if we could bring the two much

Where Art Thou?: Moving from STEM to STEAMSTEM is all the rage and rightly so. The skills our children need to learn regardless of their profession incorporate the skills that are taught in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics classes.

School is Where Your Brain is: The Home-School Connection Â Historically, learning took place throughout all aspects of a childâ€™s life. Maybe not traditionally, maybe itâ€™s in the distant past with the advent of school, but many made an assumption that that is where learning takes place as opposed to outside of school. Increasingly we recognize that learning really takes place regardless of where a child is. However, our educational institutions have been challenged to recognize learning, in

Â Â Active learning is hard to leave in the classroomâ€¦ if compelling, learners recount and rethink what they learned long after the lesson ends. The Maker movement embraces a â€œhands on, minds onâ€ approach that links the tactile nature of learning with building and knowledge.

Big Publishers: Can the Spanish Armada transform into the British Fleet? Can big publishers change enough to address how todayâ€™s students learn, educatorâ€™s teach, and shifting business models associated with both? In the US textbook market we have three very large players. Big publishers have process, coordination, and business accountability issues which are far less of a hindrance to smaller organizations. The result is that larger organizations canâ€™t change quickly. While all publishers

Privacy today looks very different than it did 20 years agoâ€¦ and the drive toward more personalized instruction from students, parents, and educators challenges privacy even further. Is it possible to build barriers to thwart data thieves and support general anonymity while providing educators with access to assessment and more nuanced qualitative information?Â The ability to balancing these demands is essential if we are to realize the benefits that personalized learning can offer.
