Protecting Your Search Privacy: A Lesson Plan

Each year search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo, complete trillions of search queries online. Students are especially dependent on these search tools because of their popularity, convenience and accessibility. However, what students are unaware of, by choice or naiveté is the amount of personal information that is collected during each search session, how that data is used and who is interested in their online behavior profile. Privacy policies are frequently updated in favor of the search companies but are lengthy and often are perused briefly or ignored entirely with little thought about how personal web habits are being exploited for analytics and marketing. As an Information Literacy instructor, and a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, I believe in the importance of educating college students and web users in general that they have a right to privacy online. Class discussions on the topic of web privacy have yielded an interesting perspective on internet search usage. Students are unaware of how their online behavior is recorded and have consistently expressed their hesitancy to use tools that disguise or delete their IP address because of the stigma that it may imply they have something to hide or are engaging in illegal activity. Additionally, students fear they will have to surrender the convenience of uber connectivity in their applications to maintain their privacy. The purpose of this lightning presentation is to provide educators with a lesson plan highlighting and simplifying the privacy terms for the three major search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo. This presentation focuses on what data these search engines collect about users, how that data is used and alternative search solutions, like DuckDuckGo, for increased privacy. Students will directly benefit from this lesson because informed internet users can protect their data, feel safer online and become more effective web searchers.

Um caso multimédia na formação inicial: contributos para o conhecimento sobre o ensino exploratório da Matemática

Este artigo tem como foco o uso de casos multimédia na formação inicial de professores e procura analisar o seu contributo para o desenvolvimento do conhecimento didático de futuras professoras acerca do ensino exploratório da Matemática, bem como apreciar as suas perspetivas sobre as mais-valias do caso multimédia utilizado como recurso formativo. Analisam-se questionários e relatórios de treze alunas do Mestrado em Educação Pré-Escolar e Ensino do 1.º Ciclo da Universidade de Évora, que trabalharam sobre um caso multimédia que retrata a prática de ensino de uma professora de 1º ciclo. O caso inclui recursos diversificados, sendo os vídeos de sala de aula complementados com o plano da aula, as resoluções da tarefa pelos alunos, as reflexões da professora sobre a sua prática, um quadro de referência sobre o ensino exploratório da Matemática e artigos teóricos sobre ensino de natureza exploratória da Matemática. As alunas em formação apreciaram conhecer e explorar o caso multimédia, ressaltando a possibilidade de através dele conhecerem uma nova prática real de ensino da Matemática; sublinharam a importância de ouvirem as reflexões da professora para dotar de sentido a respetiva prática, revelando as intenções das suas ações; aprenderam também conhecimentos relevantes para pôr em prática o ensino exploratório, nomeadamente relativos ao conhecimento do processo instrucional, tanto no diz respeito à planificação, como à condução da aula.

A aquisição de competências musicais no ensino da Técnica de Dança Clássica no 2º ano no Conservatório de Música da Jobra

Relatório Final de Estágio apresentado à Escola Superior de Dança, com vista à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ensino de Dança.

A diferença evolutiva de alunos do projeto Orquestra Geração e das escolas vocacionais de música: a importância dos agentes de motivação

Resumo I (Prática Pedagógica) - Nesta secção do relatório de estágio pretende-se expor e caracterizar todos os elementos referentes à prática pedagógica, integrada no estágio, que ocorreu em parceria com a Escola de Música do Conservatório Nacional (EMCN) e o Projecto Orquestra Geração realizado no ano letivo de 2014/2015. Este tem por objetivo, a abordagem dos aspetos pedagógicos, as metodologias de ensino, a eficácia do trabalho, a motivação e os agentes motivacionais. Para a elaboração deste relatório, foram observados e devidamente analisados três alunos de forma peculiar. Porém, é de realçar que um dos intervenientes pertencia à EMCN e as aulas apenas eram observadas. Ao longo do ano letivo foram elaborados individualmente para cada aluno, vinte e dois planos de aula e ainda realizadas três gravações de aulas que foram vistas pelo professor orientador. À posteriori serão caraterizadas as duas entidades que fizeram parceria, contribuindo para a possível realização do relatório de estágio. Será abordada a sua contextualização histórica, os parâmetros de ensino, o contexto sociocultural. De seguida, será apresentada a caraterização dos três alunos, abordando nomeadamente, o seu meio envolvente, os métodos de estudo e a evolução motora, expressiva e auditiva. Serão analisadas e descritas algumas das práticas de ensino, desenvolvidas quer ao longo das aulas individuais, quer da observação das gravações e da análise constante dos planos de aulas e das planificações. Para finalizar o relatório de estágio, será elaborada uma reflexão crítica, acerca do desempenho como docente e respetiva prática pedagógica trabalhada com os alunos.

An after-school literacy program : investigating the experiences of students with literacy difficulties, their volunteer tutors, and the tutors' transition into the teaching profession

This research responds to a pervasive call for our educational institutions to provide students with literacy skills, and teachers with the instructional supports necessary to facilitate this skill acquisition. Questions were posed to gain information concerning the efficacy ofteaching literacy strategies to students with learning difficulties, the impact of this training on their volunteer tutors, and the influence of this experience on these tutors' ensuing instructional practice as teacher candidates in a preservice education program. Study #1 compared a nontreatment group of students with literacy difficulties who participated in the program and found that program participants were superior at reading letter patterns and at comprehending the elements of story grammar. Concurrently, the second study explored the experiences of 19 volunteer tutors and uncovered that they acquired instructional skills as they established a knowledge base in teaching reading and writing, and they affirmed personal goals to become future teachers. Study #3 tracked 6 volunteer tutors into their pre-service year and identified their constructions, and beliefs about literacy instruction. These teacher candidates discussed how they had intended to teach reading and writing strategies based on their position that effective teaching ofthese skills in the primary grades is integral to academic success. The teacher candidates emphasized the need to build rapport with students, and the need to exercise flexibility in lesson plan delivery while including activities to meet emotional and developmental requirements of students. The teacher candidates entered their pre-service education with an initial cognition set based on the limited teaching context of tutoring. This foundational ii perception represented their prior knowledge of literacy instruction, a perception that appeared untenable once they were immersed in a regular instructional setting. This disparity provoked some of the teacher candidates to denounce their teacher mentors for not consistently employing literacy strategies and individualized instruction. This critical perspective could have been a demonstration of cognitive dissonance. In the end, when the teacher candidates began to look toward the future and how they would manage the demands of an inclusive classroom, they recognized the differences in the contexts. With an appreciation for the need for balance between prior and present knowledge, the teacher candidates remained committed to implementing their tutoring strategies in future teaching positions. This document highlights the need for teacher candidates with instructional experience prior to teacher education, to engage in cognitive negotiations to assimilate newly acquired pedagogies into existing pedagogies.

Noticing, exploring and practicing: functional grammar in the ESL classroom

This book introduces six general procedures for teaching grammar to learners of English as a second language. The procedures are designed to encourage learners to notice, explore and practice grammar in context. Each description and discussion of a procedure is followed by two sample lesson plans together with sample texts and worksheets. Teachers can either use these 'as is' or adapt them for their own students. The lessons are suitable for a wide range of students from beginning learners to advanced learners. A final chapter provides examples of lessons in which several procedures are combined. In addition, before each sample lesson plan, the grammar focus of the lesson is briefly explained for the teacher. These procedures all illustrate how grammar can be taught through texts, and they are based on an understanding of the latest research on pedagogical grammar and the role of language awareness and discovery in second language learning and provide teachers with principles they can apply in developing their own teaching materials and activities. The grammar explanations preceding each teaching plan provide a fresh look at English grammar drawing on work in systemic functional linguistics.

HQtrônica: atividade programada e curso de extensão

This Final Course Work’s main subject comes from a study made on my previous Final Course Work titled “Artemídia Preferente: Fenômeno ‘Jogar&Ler’ nas Histórias em Quadrinhos Interativas (HQI) com os games do RPG”, and it is fed by the shortage of Electronical Comic publications, classes, courses and activities that could suit for educational purposes and experiences for a capable kind of audience to learn it and do it. Specific issues about Electronic Comic will be presented, based on Célestin Freinet’s Pedagogy, on some books about Methodology and on the Brazilian Curriculum Guidelines required for graduation. After that, a Lesson Plan will be developed for a 14 year-old-or-older kind of audience where they will be capable of making their own Electronic Comic, being it educational-themed or not. This study also cares about the participants’ influences on their lives to be completed. Furthermore, this work is inserted in the line of the research “Artistic Processes and Procedures” of the Department of Fine Arts from the Art Institute of UNESP, whose methodology used was the Freinet Educational Cybernetics, developed in the research group “Media Arts and Videoclip” leaded by the leading advisor for this Final Course Work. The result and discussion of artistic and scientific research were reported in monographs such as this that I present, with the following versions: PDF version for dissemination in the virtual repository of the Institute of Art’s Library; hardcover version for physical collection at the Institute of Art’s Library; the printed version for the board of examiners, and an appropriated template version for submission to the International Scientific Congress in the area of Arts.

Formação inicial docente: o estágio como espaço de aprendizagens

The study presented here aimed to understand how the traineeship supervisor can act for this moment to be a valuable learning for future teachers, with a view to her operations to expand the knowledge of students. For this, we analyzed the pedagogical actions that occurred during the supervised training of a pedagogy course at a public university situated in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Supported in qualitative research this investigation shows that the supervisory actions, in the view of interns, favored teacher education: respect for the supervisor to people; her orientation to the importance of reflecting on aspects recognized as negative, her help in the preparation of interdisciplinary lesson plan and the need for a flexible lesson plan; her presence in moments of interventions; feedback given and appreciation of the role of the educator in the teaching / learning.
