Day 12 Agenda

Code

Think of it as layers, we usually only see the top layer when we use web-based things, but many layers exist below.

Don't really need to know how to code but doesn't hurt to know a few things like embed codes or map layers.

Like the embed code for Google Docs. Doesn't really work, it's too small and you can't resize it like other embedded objects.

Need a different iframe Get iframes from W3Schools and go on to teach yourself anything you want.

As the computer world develops things get more and more complex. Moore's Law. Tech increases in capacity every 18 months and the price goes down 50%.

Theories of Learning with ICT

What is a theory?

A collection of related, testable concepts that explain and predict patterns of behavior. Elements of theories are stated as hypotheses for the purposes of testing. Most often hypotheses (and theories) cannot be proven, only disproven.

When a theory is proven, it becomes a fact or a law, eg law of gravity.

A good theory must still be able to explain and predict patterns of behavior even when context changes or more data is introduced.

If a theory no longer provides adequate explanatory or predictive power, it must be adjusted or discarded.

Legacy theories of learning

Behaviorism
Cognitivism
Constructivism

Add social

Social behaviorism
Social constructivism
Social Constructionism

All useful theories but many of them are untestable and unreplicable.

Why is it important for teachers to understand theories?

Pedagogy

Theories of learning ( and teaching and education) shape the interventions used to bring about change, ie. learning.

Need to be consistent and coherent.

The academic study of teaching, learning, and education.

How do we study it?

Day 9 Review
I only got 15 minutes using the Google Hangouts recording so I put together a couple of videos to review what we did.

The first thing was to set up the iPad (or iPhone) to create and share screencasts.

One thing I missed in the video was directions for turning on the microphone to record audio when doing a screencast on the iPad. Click the button below the box to select Microphone on.

Day 9 review continued.
This video was recorded using an application called Snagit by Techsmith. I pay for this one but there is also a free version from Techsmith called Jing. The video is the rest of the review of Day 9 including a demonstration of screencasting using a browser extension called ScreenCastify.
