Historical Scene Investigation (Hsi): Engaging Students In Case Based Investigations Using Web-Based Historical Documents, Kathleen Owings Swan, Mark J. Hofer, Lauren Gallicchio
Articles
The Historical Scene Investigation (HSI) project builds upon the work of a number of scholars to facilitate the application and acquisition of historical thinking skills in the K-12 classroom. Through a structured yet flexible approach, HSI exercises attempt to provide scaffolding for the analysis of a variety of historical documents to simultaneously develop an understanding of the content focus of the investigation and the historiography skills embedded in their work. HSI exercises are designed to be “interpreted” and edited by classroom teachers in either a low- or high-tech approach. This article explores the background and structure of the model and …
Emerging Definitions Of Leadership In Higher Education, Pamela L. Eddy, Kim E. Vanderlinden
Emerging Definitions Of Leadership In Higher Education, Pamela L. Eddy, Kim E. Vanderlinden
Articles
The higher education literature suggests that alternative leadership styles are replacing the traditionally held definitions of leadership and provide new and different (and possibly superior) ways to understand leadership. This article looks for parallels within the current leadership literature to see if community college administrators use the alternative language or emerging definitions of leadership to self-describe their own leadership or if their self-descriptions fit the more traditional hierarchical ideal of the positional or "hero" leader.
Digital Campaigning: Using The Bill Of Rights To Advance A Political Position, Kathy Swan, Mark J. Hofer
Digital Campaigning: Using The Bill Of Rights To Advance A Political Position, Kathy Swan, Mark J. Hofer
Articles
Educating students to understand overt, subtle, and erroneous claims made by partisan advertisers is no small feat. Often students are passive consumers who need to learn how to become critical listeners, viewers, readers, and producers of all types of media. Because of this, media literacy--the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and produce communication in a variety of forms--is growing in importance in schools across the country. This article documents one exercise in which preservice teachers at two universities assigned a project of creating digital advertisements as a mechanism for understanding the Bill of Rights and partisan politics. Specifically, using Windows …
Reinventing Powerpoint: A New Look At An Old Tool, Mark J. Hofer, Robb Ponton, Kathleen Owings Swan
Reinventing Powerpoint: A New Look At An Old Tool, Mark J. Hofer, Robb Ponton, Kathleen Owings Swan
Articles
Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful, yet often underutilized, orchestration tool for learning. While its most common use may be no more powerful or effective than an overhead projector, the multimedia capabilities of the software open up powerful means to connect with diverse learners in the classroom. In this piece, we explore how PowerPoint can be used in ways that connect with Universal Design for Learning principles and make teacher and student presentations more engaging and effective. We offer several concrete examples of “thinking outside the slide” to leverage the unique potential of PowerPoint in the classroom.
Standards, Firewalls, And General Classroom Mayhem: Implementing Student-Centered Technology Projects In The Elementary Classroom, Mark J. Hofer, Kathleen Owings Swan
Standards, Firewalls, And General Classroom Mayhem: Implementing Student-Centered Technology Projects In The Elementary Classroom, Mark J. Hofer, Kathleen Owings Swan
Articles
Educators are simultaneously bombarded with both calls to integrate technology in meaningful ways into their teaching and to promote more student-centered activities which combine both content learning and higher-order thinking. This is no small task given the range of student abilities and interests, the increasing emphasis on state standards and testing, and the persistent challenges regarding reliability and ubiquitous access to the necessary technologies in the classroom. In this study, the authors attempt to work towards a research-based model to connect student-centered technology pedagogy that teachers can effectively replicate in the classroom. They came to this project as educational technologists …
Nested Leadership: The Interpretation Of Organizational Change In A Multicollege System, Pamela L. Eddy
Nested Leadership: The Interpretation Of Organizational Change In A Multicollege System, Pamela L. Eddy
Articles
College leaders serve important roles as guides for campus understanding during times of change. Within multicollege districts, campus members deal with several levels of leadership, ranging from department chairs, to the college president, to the system chancellor. These leaders may send conflicting messages regarding change, or have competing end goals for change. The research reported here sought to investigate the influence of the system chancellor on change initiatives at the individual colleges within the system. Findings from this investigation concluded that leadership within the system was nested, whereby the overall direction of change came from the chancellor, and was replicated …
