This report is part of the study "Furthering Innovative Education" (InnovativEdu) launched by DG Education and Culture (DG EAC) and JRC-IPTS IS Unit2 in December 2014, and it will run until June 2017. Via Ana Cristina Pratas

Main findings
"The key finding of the study is that a common conceptual approach at European level, capable of supporting the development of digital capacity in educational organisations, is both desirable and attainable.
The DigCompOrg framework has seven key elements and fifteen sub-elements that are common to all education sectors. There is also scope for the addition of sectorspecific elements and sub-elements. For each of the elements and sub-elements of DigCompOrg, a number of descriptors were developed (74 in total). Diagrammatically, the elements, sub-elements and descriptors of DigCompOrg are presented as the sectors of a circle, with an emphasis on their inter-relatedness and inter-dependence."

"Even more than other types of education, eLearning must struggle to attract learners' attention: the Internet is full of distractions, and adult learners are both busier and more free to indulge in distractions. Helping students to pay attention is a primary concern of training professionals, so here are some optimal methods to win the attention game in eLearning." Via Beth Dichter

We’ve been tracking some of the more interesting new technology products thanks to the new(ish) Global Education Database. It’s a helpful tool to help you find the best products for your classroom, and figure out how to implement them.
Alfredo Corell's insight:
There are tons of different apps, web tools, books, events, and more in the database, and the list is growing as people add their favorite products and offer reviews of other products. In the interest of sharing as many tools as we can (since we know they’ll be useful to at least some of you!) we’ve selected five at random from the GEDB’s Product Reviews section. Below are snippets of the listings you’ll find including how to use each tool in education.

The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century. Via Nik Peachey

Twenty-first century standards, assessments, curriculum, instruction, professional development and learning environments must be aligned to produce a supportsystem that produces 21st century outcomes for today’s students.

This is a useful resource as it explores further into the framework for the 21st century learning. It combines a discrete focus on the outcomes, specific skillsa and content knowledge that should be gained through the learning program. The diagram helps understanding further into the support system and how it all collaborates. This is benefical to me as a future teacher as it gives me a clear understanding of how i can manage my time effectively and make sure i am always covering aspects that are relevant to the 21st century learning.

Robin Good: Must-read article on ClutterMuseum.com by Leslie M-B, exploring in depth the opportunity to have students master their selected topics by "curating" them, rather than by reading and memorizing facts about them.
"Critical and creative thinking should be prioritized over remembering content"
"That students should learn to think for themselves may seem like a no-brainer to many readers, but if you look at the textbook packages put out by publishers, you’ll find that the texts and accompanying materials (for both teachers and students) assume students are expected to read and retain content—and then be tested on it.
Instead, between middle school (if not earlier) and college graduation, students should practice—if not master—how to question, critique, research, and construct an argument like an historian."
This is indeed the critical point. Moving education from an effort to memorize things on which then to be tested, to a collaborative exercise in creating new knowledge and value by pulling and editing together individual pieces of content, resources and tools that allow the explanation/illustration of a topic from a specific viewpoint/for a specific need.
And I can't avoid to rejoice and second her next proposition: "What if we shifted the standards’ primary emphasis from content, and not to just the development of traditional skills—basic knowledge recall, document interpretation, research, and essay-writing—but to the cultivation of skills that challenge students to make unconventional connections, skills that are essential for thriving in the 21st century?"
What are these skills, you may ask. Here is a good reference where to look them up: http://www.p21.org/storage/documents/P21_Framework_Definitions.pdf (put together by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills)
Recommended. Good stuff. 9/10

We often ask our students to create annotated bibliographies, and this focuses on their capacity to evaluate and make decisions about the validity, reliability and relevance of sources they have found. using Scoop.it, we can ask them to do much the same thing, but they will publish their ideas for an audience, and will also be able to provide and use peer feedback to enhance and tighten up their thinking. This is relevant to any curriculum area. Of course it is dependent on schools being able to access any social media, but rather than thinking about what is impossible, perhaps we could start thinking about what is possible and lobbying for change.

Por Fernando Santamaría González:
Los codirectores de FLEFF, Patricia Zimmermann y Thomas Shevory, describieron ampliamente la definición de microtopías en el sitio web oficial de FLEFF: Las microtopías nos piden que imaginemos el mundo de otra manera, sin restricciones ni limitaciones, para mejorar el entorno inmediato … Si la utopía reside en ninguna parte, las microtopías surgen por todas. Si la utopía sugiere perfección, la microtopía define la adaptación.

Excelente post de Fernando Santamaría (Universidad de León) Cualquier conversación sobre aprendizaje eficaz o auténtico debe comenzar con una consideración de cómo aprenden los estudiantes. Sin embargo, los instructores pueden encontrar una diferencia entre los recursos que se centran en la investigación técnica en el aprendizaje y los que proporcionan estrategias prácticas en el aula. Este libro intenta crear un puente para tal brecha. Via Fernando Carías , Labtic.Unipe, Elisa Hergueta

How Khan Academy and other advances in educational technology are changing the role of teachers.
Via Yasemin Allsop
Alfredo Corell's insight:
So, to come back to the original question: can technology replace teachers? The short answer: not quite. While the need may differ between adult and children learners, I think everyone can benefit from the right mix of teacher and technology. What that right mix is will differ for each individual student, depending upon their learning style.

Alfredo Corell's insight:
Mobile Learning is about self-actuated personalization. As learning practices and technology tools change, mobile learning itself will continue to evolve. For 2013, the focus is on a variety of challenges, from how learners access content to how the idea of a “curriculum” is defined. Technology like tablets PCs, apps, and access to broadband internet are lubricating the shift to mobile learning, but a truly immersive mobile learning environment goes beyond the tools for learning to the lives and communities valued by each individual learner.
