Getting ready for TED
Posted by: ashleytan on: November 10, 2011
I am getting ready for my TEDxYouth@Singapore talk on 19 Nov. The event details are here. I hear that registrations have closed. Source I am sharing my presentation as a sneak preview (higher quality Google Presentation is here). Like most of my material, you will not get the full story unless I tell it. Truth [...]
Open presenting
Posted by: ashleytan on: November 9, 2011
Source The first thing an audience of a talk, seminar or conference asks for is a copy of the presentation. Whenever I can, I share my SlideShares, Google Presentations or Prezis as openly as possible. This simple presentation is for the Japan Association for Promotion of Educational Technology (JAPET) delegation which visits NIE tomorrow. In the [...]
Essential elements of digital literacies?
Posted by: ashleytan on: October 13, 2011
Source This SlideShare probably raises as many questions as it does answers on digital literacies, but that is not a bad thing. After all, what counts as “digital literacies” is as emerging or as amorphous as “21st century skills”.
What is good e-learning?
Posted by: ashleytan on: September 21, 2011
Source I could probably look at John Connell’s revised slides on “Good eLearning and Bad eLearning” and pick up something a bit different every day. For example, there were lots of quotable quotes, mostly by famous people, but my favourite was probably the simplest one in slide 63: Young people across the world today are possibly [...]
Letting go
Posted by: ashleytan on: September 5, 2011
SlideShare source Many thanks to @hychan_edu for sharing this on Twitter. This is probably the best SlideShare I have seen on the impact of social media on modern life. How anyone can ignore this in the educational context is beyond me!
More QR
Posted by: ashleytan on: August 15, 2011
This semester I am including QR codes in my ICT course in a more basic way. In semesters past, I have used QR codes for station-based learning and scavenger hunts. This semester, I am simply adding QR codes to presentations in SlideShare. The QR codes lead to resources that are relevant to the content on a [...]
The future is now
Posted by: ashleytan on: February 14, 2011
Source Here are some reused and rehashed slides from Steve Wheeler about The Future of Learning. Not that reusing or rehashing is a bad thing. Things worth saying need to be repeated and sometimes said slightly differently before others get it. I get it. I am excited by it. Don’t know what “it” is? Process [...]
Same message, different forms
Posted by: ashleytan on: December 14, 2010
Embedded below is an excellent Slideshare on Why Technology is Failing in Schools. (Spoiler: The leadership, administration and pedagogy has not kept up.) Source For any change to take place effectively, there must be shifts in leadership, adminstration, pedagogy and a whole host of other factors. But if there is one factor that can forge [...]
Handmade thinking
Posted by: ashleytan on: August 14, 2010
Here is a learning approach that is about as old as when Man started cave drawings, but I think that it is just as relevant today. Now consider how this approach might be empowered with collaborative tools like Dabbleboard or MindMeister.
Why social media?
Posted by: ashleytan on: July 24, 2010
My simple answer would be: Why not? In the context of education, I’d add that the fact that our learners are already using them is another reason. Leslie Bradshaw has a longer and better illustrated answer. SlideShare source
