EDHE 6050 - 09.01.2009
- went over syllabus
- handout: the misspellings that the human mind can easily read
- reading is visual, phonetic, and also based on context
- is education an experiment?
- yes: experience with project-based learning; seen teaching methods come and go in 10 years
- yes; we don't want to do the same old thing with the same results
- no; public education hasn't changed much--it's not just teaching methods
- no; higher education effectively hasn't changed in a century, despite huge social & technological changes (example: PhD residency requirement)
- handout: teaching and learning quotes
- (also see handwritten notes on the handout)
- the technology of your youth is what you become comfortable with, "fluent" in using
- many different learning styles
- younger generation's abillity to multitask; listen to iPod during lecture
- new trend to issue laptops or e-readers or iPhones as a textbook substitute
- "teaching naked" research: letting go of technology in the classroom and simply engage with the students
- PowerPoint can be a harmful tool to teaching (YouTube video on how not to give a PowerPoint)
- adoption of electronic textbooks is often more about finances (cheaper than print books) than about progressive adoption of technologies
- communication is complex at best (both giving and receiving ends)
- writing essay, due in class
