Teacher professional learning is of increasing interest as one way to support the increasingly complex skills students need to learn in preparation for further education and work in the 21st century. Sophisticated forms of teaching are needed to develop student competencies such as deep mastery of challenging content, critical thinking, complex problem-solving, effective communication and collaboration, and self-direction. In turn, effective professional development (PD) is needed to help teachers learn and refine the pedagogies required to teach these skills. However, research has shown that many PD initiatives appear ineffective in supporting changes in teacher practices and student learning. Accordingly, we set out to discover the features of effective PD. This paper reviews 35 methodologically rigorous studies that have demonstrated a positive link between teacher professional development, teaching practices, and student outcomes. We identify the features of these approaches and offer rich descriptions of these models to inform those seeking to understand the nature of the initiatives.

Digital Pedagogy Lab Courses rise directly out of what has gone wrong in instructional design. It is a humble attempt to bring learning online through community, discussion, creation, digression, and narrative.

Comments from The Chronicle of Higher Education, May 21, 2015 by Jeffrey R. Young "An education blog whose authors believe there’s too much hype around “personalized learning” technology has posted a series of video case studies about the trend, hoping to help get beyond overheated rhetoric. The result is an unusual look at five colleges trying high-tech classroom experiments and wrestling with how new teaching methods change the role of students and teachers. The videos were produced by the education-technology blog e-Literate, with the support of a $350,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The case studies, divided into short segments covering different topics, together resemble a MOOC. That’s no accident, says Michael Feldstein, founder of the blog and a host of the videos, who hopes that some teaching-with-technology centers will use the videos in their professional-development workshops. He wants videos to provide more nuance than can be found in several recent popular books about the future of education. “It’s just hard to convey a visceral sense of what’s going on in the day-to-day educational lives of teachers and students with the written word,” he said in a post about the videos. Most projects featured in the videos are also supported by the Gates Foundation, but in an interview, Mr. Feldstein said the foundation had given him and the other host, Phil Hill, editorial independence. “We told them that if we decide that this personalized-learning software doesn’t work, that’s what we’re going to publish,” he said. “We look at what’s working and what’s not.” In addition to their blog, Mr. Feldstein and Mr. Hill run an education-consulting firm called MindWires Consulting."

Le département Communication / Hypermédia défend l’Image. L’Image avec un grand « I » au sens d’informations visuelles. Dans une société dite de l’image, ce département s’affirme en ce début du XXIème siècle au cœur de l’Europe et du Monde, au cœur des questions de ses contemporains sur la création et diffusionde données informationnelles liées aux médias numériques.
A la frontière étendue et poreuse entre le quotidien, l’entreprise, l’art et les médias, la communication n’est pas ici considérée comme un système ou un modèle mais comme une invention permanente, à expérimenter dans sa dimension critique, esthétique et professionnelle. . Associé à ce département, G-SICA, groupe interlaboratoire sur l’Image, la Communication et les Arts numériques (Université de Savoie), composé de chercheurs et d’artistes, développe une recherche volontairement interdisciplinaire. Des travaux, engagés autant sur les territoires de l’anthropologie visuelle que la communication, la sociologie des usages, les scénarios interactifs, le motion design, l’art vidéo, la réalité augmentée, les dispositifs immersifs, les installations interactives (alternate reality games), les serious game ou le documentaire, les arts numériques… interrogent la place du corps. Comment celui-ci fait signe et inversement pourquoi le signe – associé à ce dernier – devient un langage du corps ? Plusieurs nouveaux projets sont actuellement en cours de réalisation…

Primo was founded in the summer of 2013 with a view to improve the way technology and science is introduced to children through tangible play. Our first product launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign on the 22nd of November 2013. We will be forever grateful to our backers. Our growing team of creators and technologists is now working on building a new generation of open tech toys to help children learn, play and create with technology. ...

Our education system fails to amplify students' creativity and interest in learning. To continue along the current path is increasingly unscientific, unjustifiable and plain dull.

Due to Khan Academy's popularity, the idea of the flipped classroom has gained press and credibility within education circles. Briefly, the Flipped Classroom as described by Jonathan Martin is: Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious class-time for what previously, often, was done…

With Google in the classroom, teachers should reimagine lessons for the device generation.
Two years ago, Makeblock team launched the first Kickstarter project for helping makers construct their dreams; Two years later, now we come back to Kickstarter again for O.R.P.K (ONE ROBOT PER KID), releasing the easiest educational robot for helping kids learn robotics with fun.
Robotics integrate all STEM fields and always make each kid crazy. It can help kids get hands-on experience on mechanics, electronics, control system and computer science.
However, all robots on the market seem to be expensive, hard to assemble, trouble to wire and complex to program. Our goal is to create an affordable, easy-to-use and open source robot for per kid: ONE ROBOT PER KID.

Après le succès du premier Cap Digital ID (Cap Digital Inspiring Day), qui a rassemblé 200 participants autour d’une vingtaine de démonstrations, nous vous proposons une seconde édition, toujours dans cet esprit de partage et de communication, en toute simplicité.
Pour cette deuxième édition, nous avons choisi une thématique d’actualité du pôle, avec le prochain lancement de l’Educalab, structure d’innovation dédiée à l’Education, portée par Cap Digital et soutenue par la région Ile de France (inauguration prévue le 03/03), ainsi que l’actualité nationale de la Semaine de l’Industrie, qui nous permet de donner une résonance plus large au Cap Digital ID, et nous offre l’opportunité de nous rapprocher de nos voisins de l’Ecole ISCPA spécialisée en journalisme, communication et production.
Cette deuxième édition sera donc organisée autour de la thématique de l’Education au sens large (outils, logiciels et contenus pour l’éducation et la formation numérique, edutainement, seriousgaming, learning analytics, …)
