Creating brief instructional videos (and more) with Jing
Cool free app for combining screen shots or screen motion with audio, to create instructional presentations.
This week I got my Jing on! I recently heard about Jing (found on the web at jingproject.com), and after a quick visit to their web site I knew that this might be the type of tool I’ve been thinking about trying out for creating some brief instructional videos. The fact that it was free made it a no brainer to go ahead take for a spin (there is also a paid version, with a little more functionality – more on that below).

How College Students Seek Information in the Digital Age | EDUCAUSE
A report of findings from 2,318 respondents to a survey carried out among college students on six campuses distributed across the U.S. in the spring of 2009, as part of Project Information Literacy. Respondents, while curious in the beginning stages of research, employed a consistent and predictable research strategy for finding information, whether they were conducting course-related or everyday life research. Almost all of the respondents turned to the same set of tried and true information resources in the initial stages of research, regardless of their information goals. Almost all students used ourse readings and Google first for course-related research and Google and Wikipedia for everyday life research. Most students used library resources, especially scholarly databases for course-related research and far fewer, in comparison, used library services that required interacting with librarians. The findings suggest that students conceptualize research, especially tasks associated with seeking information, as a competency learned by rote, rather than as an opportunity to earn, develop, or expand upon an information-gathering strategy which leverages the wide range of resources available to them in the digital age.

Verandering, creativiteit en aandacht
Een trend die steeds meer op komt zetten is de aandacht voor creativiteit. Via de Internetpagina's van TED is een serie presentaties te downloaden die allemaal gaan over de 'creative spark' en wordt creativiteit steeds meer in relatie gezien tot onderwijs en de veranderingen die daarin nodig zijn om studenten voor te bereiden op de toekomst. Een aanrader hierin is volgens mij de presentatie van Ken Robinson: 'schools kill creativity'. Toch verwacht ik niet dat creativiteit het centrale thema wordt voor 2010.
Het thema wat in 2010 opduikt is Aandacht. Persoonlijk, voor leren, voor elkaar ....
