Christine Brockmeyer’s story about her personal (non) experiences with computers in education

I strongly recommend reading this blog post by Christine Brockmeyer on her personal (non) experiences with computers in education. Dat Erliefniss mam Computer am “Communication visuelle” Kuer wat d’Christine eis héi beschréift, weisst ganz schein, dass de fait de Computer als creation tool anzesetzen direkt, quasi automatesch och eng aaner sozial form vu léieren mat […]

Using a Visual Metaphor to Illustrate the BScE1 Internship

I’ve been thinking about using a set of visually rich illustrations to graphically represent a metaphor of the requirements we ask our BScE1 students to fulfill (BScE1 = 1 Semester of the Bachelor in Educational Sciences study program). We actually want them to develop into “reflective practitioners” combining two different (maybe even seemingly incompatible) developmental […]

Meng Äntwert op “vb 118: A. Lulling mat Reaktioun op Uni Lëtzbg (Kies) a Mme Rachida Dati (25-09-09)”

My comments to Madame Astrid Lulling’s Video Blog 118: Dat kann an därf een als chercheur net einfach onkommentéiert loosen… an dofir hun ech och der Madame Lulling meng Meenung geschriwen… d’ailleurs den Titel vun hierer Sendung ass misleading… si gréift d’Uni.lu guer net un, mee ee Fuerscher an dann och nach am selweschten Otemzuch […]

RE: Vergleich Texte 1-6 und persönliche Meinung | Elisa Bucarini’s blog

Die meisten Texter handelten darüber, wie es zum Behaviorismus gekommen ist, welcher die Gründer davon waren und wer was bewirkt hat. Auf der anderen Seite gingen verschiedene Texte mehr ins Detail, z.B. wie Behaviorismus eingeteilt ist, welche Unterkategorien es davon gibt. Dann gab es noch die Zusammenfassung des Buchs von Alfie Kohn, der ganz kritisch […]

William Kamkwamba: How I harnessed the wind

via ted.com The world needs more humans like William, who have the spirit to build, to create new things, instead of simply sticking to copying things that somebody else tells them to re-produce! I think this should be a truly inspiring story for schools and teachers in my country, Luxembourg, one of the richest countries […]

Réactions à MAJERUS (2009): Pourquoi “Réfractaire” n’est pas seulement un film ennuyeux

J’ai eu la chance de lire un excellent, et court, article de mon ami Benoît ce matin… Dans cet article Benoît Majerus fait la critique “historienne” d’un récent film à la frontière entre le documentaire historique, la fiction et le film pédagogique. Je suis, en tant qu’enseignant-chercheur actif dans le domaine des “Educational Technologies”, évidemment […]

Blogging Students

I’ve instructed half of my BScE students that they will have to use their “professional” blog @ blog.bsce.uni.lu for their assignments, autonomous studies, homeworks and other tasks… and I’m very curious to see how they will manage to learn how to use this technology tool and how they will make the thing and the writing […]

EdTech1 – Seminar 1: The Tech Breakdown

Today I started a newly redesigned course in our Bachelor in Educational Sciences study program called 1.6.2 Introduction to Educational Technology. And I had prepared two very nice and beautiful keynotes with inserted movies, etc. But, in a very tragically comical way (this year again), I had some technical issues, problems and mishaps… It’s somewhat […]
