Please join me for these free webcast discussions on the Learning Times/ICT Literacy Community:
COLLABORATIVE E-LEARNING ACTIVITIES TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING: APRIL 26 What kinds of e-learning experiences motivate learners to develop higher-order 21c. thinking skills? Higher order skills are needed to move from being a receiver of information to being a creator who generates new information and new knowledge. Skills in communication and cooperation are needed to go the next step and use information productively with others. In this interactive webcast we will discuss ways that e-learning activities can encourage learners� progression from receptive understanding to generative thinking. Bring your examples and questions! WRITING CONTENT AND ICT LITERACY OBJECTIVES: MAY 17 How can we articulate course goals and objectives to describe desired learning in both content and ICT literacy? When it comes time to explain to others the purpose and process for teaching content knowledge together with technology, what can we say? How can we frame measurable and specific goals and objectives that encompass complex knowledge and skills? In this webcast we will work through and discuss practical examples. We will look at tools such as Bloom�s Taxonomy and subsequent revisions, and ICT literacy models that define tasks in various domains. Bring your course goals and let�s transform them! EVENTS ARE OFFERED AT TWO TIMES so we can accomodate global participation: 11 AM -12PM and 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM GMT-05:00 Eastern (EST) DST Space is limited so log on to http://www.ictliteracy.info/ICT-Community.htm to register. These are synchronous interactive discussions. If you have a mic you can talk using voice over Internet, if not you can use the chat feature. I will also set up asynchronous forums so participants can discuss and share resources in addition to the live meeting. See you online! Janet Salmons VISION2LEAD, INC.
