    Gallagher's Essay 'The Year Of The Moocs'

    Out of the three college students, Mendoza, Gregory and Gallagher I think Moocs are right for Gallagher specifically. I chose Gallagher because of what he wrote about in his essay, and I related what he wrote to The Year of the Moocs. I think Moocs are right for Gallagher because his essay stood out, Gallagher wrote a fantasy essay which is very risky and something no one else to do. Gallagher is different, like Moocs.…

For example, when counting, students must remember what numbers to verbalize next in the oral string of words.…

Although, "sending students home with final grades of F would force most parents to deal with the realities of their children's failure..." think about all the negative effects giving an F might have.

    Common Core Curriculum Analysis

    The Common Core Curriculum dictates the standards that need to be achieved by students and taught by teachers. The adoption of this curriculum means all should be uniform. Teachers should be teaching the exact same content, relatively at the exact same time. I believe this article brings up a great question; is the underlying objective of the Common Core, to make teachers teach to the test? Many of us believe so. I feel this article points out other issues that have a serious impact on a student’s performance. Poverty is one of the factors mentioned in the article that has an even greater impact to a students learning than memorizing facts would (Krashen, 2014).…

    The Potential of Learning Analytics to Create a Competitive Advantage for ABC University

    ABC University’s vision is to be “a national leader in innovative teaching and interactive technology -- one that engages students in creative problem-solving for the Information Age.” In order for ABC University (ABC) to remain competitive, it will be important for educational leaders within the organization to identify key trends that will either positively or negatively impact higher education learning. The recent 2014 NMC New Horizons Report examines the potential impact of key emerging technologies on teaching, learning, and innovative inquiry within the environment of higher education (Johnson, Adams Becker, Estrada, & Freeman, 2014). Learning analytics (LA) is one of the near-term strategies outlined in the report. LA is defined as the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their milieus, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Learning analytics would allow ABC to leverage student data to gain insight and knowledge on every layer of their organization. In addition, LA would allow ABC to deliver personalized learning, enable adaptive learning methodologies and practices, and identify learning issues proactively. Lastly, ABC could use learning analytics to gather data on their students' academic progress and focus on making sense of student learners activity (through clicks, social network analysis, etc.). With the rise in available educational data, it’s projected that learning analytics will become a prevailing technology leveraged by teachers and higher learning institutions to better understand and predict personal learning needs and performance of student learners. As such, learning analytics has the potential to create a competitive advantage for ABC University and differentiate it from its competitors.…
