  • U6: E-portfolios - Supporting Distance Learners in the 21st Century

    Using e-portfolios for assessment

    The use of computers in distance education creates many opportunities for learners to record their progress through a course. In many institutions, tutors are using e-portfolios as a method of formative or continuous assessment. E-portfolios can be produced and published on the Web using some of the simple tools that were discussed in Unit 4, such as wikis, blogs and Google Docs. In addition, some learners might choose to add multimedia elements such as video or audio recordings, if they have the basic equipment – and the inclination – to do so.

    As the following illustration by Helen Barret (2007) shows, it is possible to create quite an elaborate, multimedia portfolio system using only freely available tools on the Web.

It has established a defense fund to provide first-line legal assistance to teachers threatened with actions that violate this freedom. Social Education , the official journal of NCSS since 1937, is an outstanding organ of information and commentary. The Social Studies Professional is a newsletter of resources and opportunities. Social Studies and the Young Learner is a quarterly journal devoted exclusively to elementary social studies education. In addition, the NCSS publications program features a wide variety of bulletins, special publications, and standards. The program of the NCSS annual meeting provides major speakers, clinics, sessions, tours, a major exhibit of instructional materials, and several awards honoring those who have contributed to the advancement of social studies education.

  • DHQ: Digital Humanities Quarterly: Published Yet Never Done: The Tension Between Projection and Completion in Digital Humanities Research

    The case of the Orlando Project offers a useful interrogation of concepts like completion and finality, as they emerge in the arena of electronic publication. The idea of "doneness" circulates discursively within a complex and evolving scholarly ecology where new modes of digital publication are changing our conceptions of textuality, at the same time that models of publication, funding, and archiving are rapidly changing. Within this ecology, it is instrumental and indeed valuable to consider particular tasks and stages done, even as the capacities of digital media push against a sense of finality. However, careful interrogation of aims and ends is required to think through the relation of a digital project to completion, whether modular, provisional, or of the project as a whole.

    Technology Mapping

    With today’s technology it has become easy to integrate the concepts of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as part of learning activities. Integrating GIS technologies to add exciting and interactive spatial elements into a variety of activities. Using tools such as Google Maps, librarians, teachers, and students can easily create interactive digital maps that relate spatially to books, stories, and other readings. Students can use Web 2.0 tools, such as EditGrid, to collaborate online in the development of interactive maps, which then can be used to reduce the transactional distance that distance learning students may feel when taking courses online.

KCSS Annual Conference

  • KCSS Annual Conference

    I'm gratified that Barry Leonard of the Kentucky Council of Social Studies has invited me to speak at their 2009 Annual Conference,  September 23-24 in Bowling Green, KY.  The theme of the conference is "Social Studies: Relevance in the Age of NCLB" and I plan to speak on "nurturing" 21st century social studies educators. I'll call for increased "textured literacy" in history and social studies classrooms; why multimodal communication needs to play a more prominent role in our instruction.
