This week our reading was on Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and the different between those and other online systems. Oftentimes, LMS's get mistaken for many other online tools and this article helped to clarify that confusion. Although the first time I read through it, I was very much taken back by all of the different abbreviations. I was lost in LMS versus LCMS and all of the other abbreviations that they threw at us. After creating my storify, this really gave me a chance to organize my thoughts and the different information that was given in the reading.
Please read my storify. I hope you enjoy it.

Wow Amy, Amazing! Can I just submit: "What Amy Said."? ;)
ReplyDeleteOf all of the many sources my favorite was the Big Data article that stated
"Big learning data can be informative from a feedback and context perspective. Because somebody often might fail at a topic but not know why he is failing, it becomes interesting when the learner can look not just at himself, but at other people who have had the same experience." Failing teaches us nothing if we don't have the opportunity to reflect and correct as students. As teachers we are pressured to collect data on every child multiple ways, many times a year. While data collection does help teachers see where student's needs and improvement in their own teaching lies, I feel we have to be very careful with data collection in the Pre-k years, especially when it is gathered in an authentic manner.
