5 Reasons To Allow Digital Devices In Your Classroom

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/blog_landing/public/Screen%20Shot%202011-12-12%20at%2012.29.48%20PM.png?itok=ITDqfJNPBy Natascha Chtena. Amidst reports of Steve Jobs and other Silicon Valley CEOs imposing extremely strict technology rules on their children, the debate around technology use in the classroom has caught fire once again. One of the strongest arguments for banning technology in the classroom came earlier this fall, from media pundit Clay Shirky in a piece titled “Why I Just Asked My Students To Put Their Laptops Away.” Read more...

Open Thread Wednesday: Favorite Higher Ed YouTube Channels?

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy . Today I am/will be in New York at something called a YouTube Educator Lab, in order in part to learn more about building out YouTube channels for my college. But that led me to realize that I don’t think I subscribe to any explicitly higher-ed related YouTube channels myself. There are a couple of topic-specific ones I follow, but otherwise I rely on search. Read more...

How to Start or Improve a Podcast

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy . The New York Times has inferred from the success of Serial that podcasts are now officially a thing. We have been writing about podcasts for years: Ethan posted guides to recording and editing lectures as podcasts ; Evan Cordulack wrote a guest post on “Four Mistakes I Made When Assigning Podcasts<"/a>; and Chuck Tryon wrote one on “Recording and Hosting Podcasts Using the Internet Archive.”. (And, of course, every six months or so we ask people for new podcast recommendations.) But now that the Times is on it, the time may be ripe for exploring podcasts as a way to reach new audiences for one’s research or community work, or for engaging with students. Read more...

Who Will Log You Out When You’re Gone?

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/profhacker-45.pngBy . I long ago exceeded my capacity to remember passwords, especially for my institutional accounts which require password changes at regular intervals. As a result, I use a password manager to keep up with all my passwords. As it happens, I use 1Password, which syncs everywhere, generates and keeps track of preposterously complex passwords, and keeps other kinds of information, such as credit card numbers, passport information, and more secure yet available. It’s a neat thing. Read more...

Today is Cyber Monday. And so is tomorrow and the next day and the next…

By Andrew Wyckoff. Today is Cyber Monday – although the term is less than ten years old, so you may not have even known it. Like its better known cousin ‘Black Friday’, ‘Cyber Monday’ is a marketing term to mark the kick-off of the holiday shopping season, right after Thanksgiving, in the US. Unlike Black Friday though, Cyber Monday is all about e-commerce: the New York Times sanctified the term in 2005, with the observation that “millions of otherwise productive working Americans, fresh off a Thanksgiving weekend of window shopping, were returning to high-speed Internet connections at work Monday and buying what they liked.” More...

6 Myths of Digital Technology

The home of Mark AndersonBy Mark Anderson. I cannot take credit for these 6 myths of digital technology – I’m lifting them straight from what I thought was a well known and received investigation in to the impact of digital technology on education. It would appear that a lot of the research however is not well known and in an attempt to do for others as I do for my students in terms of making the implicit explicit; this marks the first of a series of posts which will look in to the evidence behind digital technology and its links to learning. In this post I will be looking at an investigation undertaken by Professor Steven Higgins, ZhiMin Xiao and Maria Katsipataki from the School of Education at Durham University, published for the Education Endowment Foundation.
To summarise their findings, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s not about technology, it’s about pedagogy. They also state very clearly that  “the use of technology needs to be informed by context and research“. Hear hear. More...
