I want to gather the best resources for technology in learning
I wanted to test out Google Moderator, so I create two sites:
Questions about technology in learning: http://goo.gl/mod/3KXN
Ideas about technology in learning: http://goo.gl/mod/U505
Actually, I thought Google Moderator was a very interesting project, so I wanted to create something using the system. I haven't found any great resource or collection of ideas and questions of technology in learning, so I think that would be a good place to start!
I hope you like it and I hope Google Moderator will work well for this!
UPDATE: While Google Moderator is nice, I find it a bit confusing and it's difficult to find information in it. I moved over the discussion about learning technologies to my list of learning technology
Capturing your learning process
From my experience as a teacher and learner, I've noticed that information actually is not the basis of knowledge. You can never just show someone how to solve a math problem. They'll just forget it. What you have to do is help the student realize how to solve it. Usually it helps to ask the right questions for example. So that the student can have an epiphany and suddenly get it. Feels great.
This thought about learning is the basis of my Project of Capturing Learning Processes. I don't have a proper name for it yet. This is a project that's going to take a while to conceptualize, since I want to revolutionize learning from the starting point of identifying the problem. I'll call the project sparks for now.
Problem: There is a lot of knowledge lost in learning. Learning is inefficient. Let's make learning more efficient by using the web.
I'm not going to tell more about the project right now because I don't know what it will become. For now, I'm going to settle on Capturing my own Learning Process. I'm going to learn web developement on Django.
You can follow my learning process on my Django Learning Process blog
