Using Feedback in Moodle for more than student evaluations & Using Padlet
The first in our series of CITFLN TeacherNet Show and tell sessions went well with Jo Whitfield sharing some ideas about using the Feedback tool for more than student evaluations and I presented Padlet, an embeddable interactive wall.
Here are the videos from these presentations
Digital Research – a double edged sword (infographic)
Allison Morris has shared a very interesting infographic that she worked on about digital research with regard to U.S college students.
She discusses this image in a blog post at Infantium – http://www.infantium.com/blog/2013/05/25/students-and-digital-research/
It clearly illustrates the challenges that both teachers and learners face as our digital literacy and information management skills struggle to keep up with emerging technology.

Taking a test is better than studying, even if you just guess: We need to flip the flipped classroom | Computing Education Blog
This article looks at some interesting research that suggests that getting your learners to take a short test on the content in your course before they’ve learned about it will actually help them to retain it later. At the very least I guess it gives them an overview of what they will be learning and what they do and don’t already know about it.

3 powerful ideas you should steal from marketing for your training design
Cathy Moore is one of the smartest writers about training and education design going around.
She simply gets that we need to focus on what we want learners to be able to do and that we need to tailor everything that we do to support that.
This post touches on an idea that I’ve been thinking a lot about recently – the fact that we should be taking lessons from marketing and advertising (yes, evil marketing and advertising) about designing messages that appeal to our audience. After all, this is what they exist to do and these people spend obscene amounts of money and time finding ways to reach people who long ago learned to ignore or resist their messages. (It’s also a pretty funny and well made ad)
