As we consider the readings from yesterday we see that they each take a different approach to the social impact of technology. Further investigation this today revealed similar perspectives on the technology revolution and its effects on our society. As a whole, these articles take a cautious approach to technology, and it’s artifacts and introduces a bigger picture when it comes to how technology controls our lives. The theories suggested seem to imply that we must not be glamorized by the ease and expediency of technology lest we run the risk of allowing those in positions of power to control our everyday lives further. Below I have highlighted several articles I researched this week and discuss how these connect with our previous readings. First, the 14th International Scientific Conference eLearning and Software for Education in April of 2018 presented the article,  Visions of Robots , Networks, and Artificial Intelligence: Europeans’ Attitudes Towards Digitisation and Auto...

In today’s age of technology and the immediate access to all types of information, Connected Learning is learning with consideration of one’s personal interests and social environment. It allows the individual learner the opportunity to experience information and learning in a way that is relevant to them. It also ties the educational world and the social world in a way that inspires learning and creates participatory learning, not just a passive student. “To “learn from experience” is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence. Under such conditions, doing becomes trying; an experiment with the world to find out what it is like; the undergoing becomes instruction— the discovery of the connection of things” (M Ito et al.) As it relates to digital media, Connected learning allows the learner to “connected” to the material in a meaningful way through the use of technology. This technology connects student...

David Brodosi Each year folks from around Florida gather at the annual Synapse Summit.  This year's event was held at Amalie Arena in Tampa Florida. This event is a great place to meet others and share resources and innovative ideas.  One of the best crowdsourcing events I have ever attended.  For two day I was able to meet with USFSP graduates who are working some many innovative projects right here in the Tampa Bay area. Below are a few photos from the event.

Here are my notes from reading and researching Active Learning classrooms. David Brodosi In the case of active learning tasks, the pupils are often asked to express their thinking explicitly, which means that the trainers can also assess the pupils' learning.  Although most of the literature on active learning has focused on STEM disciplines, research suggests that active learning can benefit students in all areas, especially students with fewer educational opportunities or encounters with active learning in high school.  Several studies have shown that students in classrooms with active learning have a lower error rate and perform better in assessments than students in a traditional lecture.  Students indicated that this knowledge would be helpful in understanding how to approach active learning.  Since the success of active learning depends crucially on the motivation and commitment of the students, it is of the utmost importance that students appreciate...
