Welcome back! I hope everyone had an excellent weekend and that your week is off to a great start! Today we begin with Eric Patnoudes at Edudemic with a post entitled,"How Technology Changes Student-Teacher Interaction." In the article, Patnoudes discuses the changing role of the teacher in technology-rich classrooms.
Next up, if you've spent any time over atGetting Smart before, you're probably familiar with Tom Vander Ark. He's an absolutely impressive educator, author, and tech-enthusiast. On October 1st, he will be hosting a webinar to "help administrators understand how to deploy blended learning in Special Education." The event will be co-hosted by PresenceLearning (an online speech therapy service) and will no doubt be incredibly informative. You can register here.
Free Tech for Teachers has five new posts to check out:
Australian Education blog 2and2 and two posts from the past week or so. First up, Leon Young writes about "Tablets for Education." Young discusses the growing trend of using tablets in education as well as tablet deployment in Thailand, China and Japan. The second post delves into the idea of using game-based learning for skills that, whether we like it or not, require some amount of repetition to be acquired. Young closes with some nice questions to consider.
If you've been reading the Roundup for a while, you might be familiar with Educade. I've talked about it a few times, and we have a review of the service as well. Basically, it's an awesome site to find, share, and rate lessons for all subjects and grade levels. The news today, is that Educade just partnered with Storybots, another excellent site that aims to bring tech-rich learning tools to pre-K and elementary students. They're partnering up to bring even more great digital content to schools. Both sites are worth checking out!
Katrina Schwartz atMind/Shift has a thought-provoking new post about a new computer school in Paris entitled,"A School with No Teachers, Where Students Teach Themselves." Around 4,000 applicants will live at the school for a month and be "challenged with computers problems for 15 hours a day." Out of those 4,000 around 800 will earn a place in the school.
