- Pre-record a presentation on open education concepts. Do you have an inspiring presentation about open education?

52 nouvelles écoles labellisées écoles internet
Comment les écoles peuvent-elles s’engager dans des usages d’internet reponsable ? C’est l’objectif de les y aider que poursuit l’association écoles-internet, qui décerne chaque année son label à des écoles dont l’action en matière de Tice et d’Internet vise particulièrement à éduquer les enfants à des enjeux scolaires et sociétaux.
En 2011, ce sont 52 nouvelles écoles, qui ont reçu ce label, portant ainsi à 257 le nombre total d’écoles actuellement labellisées. La labellisation s’obtient pour 3 ans, en remplissant un formulaire d’inscription sur le site et en déposant au moins une initiative correspondant au projet de l’école.
Douze d’entre elles étaient présentes à la cérémonie de remise des labels, effectuée le 22 novembre à Educatice par Jean-Loup Burtin, chargé du développement numérique du 1er degré à la Degesco et Florence Durand-Tornare, déléguée de l’associations villes internet, en présence d'Anna Angeli, chef du projet ecoles-internet.
Les écoles présentes ont toutes insisté sur l’importance de la collaboration école-commune-familles et ont en général envoyé des délégations mixtes pour expliquer leur projet, puisque la mutualisation et le partage d’expériences sont au cœur du dispositif écoles-internet. Le label, déclarent souvent les enseignants, est une bonne occasion de reconnaître le travail des responsables communaux de l’éducation et des familles, et de valoriser les partenariats. Les initiatives sont très diverses, mais reflètent remarquablement l’engagement des acteurs et des élèves.
On a pu ainsi découvrir l’activité de l’école Saint-Germain de Bourgueil qui, depuis 5 ans, forme des reporters internet dans la classe de CE2, avec rédaction d’un journal d’école, agenda en ligne, charte de bonne conduite, création de blogs … L’école Carlepont, dans l’Oise, donne accès à un ENT et distribue un Netp@ssport, l’école Cadirac de Foix a réalisé sur son site déjà bien développé un aide-mémoire synthétique pour les élèves, fort utile en cas de maladie ou d’absence, l’école des Jonquilles à Montpellier réalise une grande fresque historique, …
La campagne de labellisation 2012 s’ouvrira en mars et se terminera en septembre. Le formulaire d’inscription est disponible sur le site, qui décrit également en détail les initiatives des écoles. Un montage video de la remise des labels et des interviews de participants y seront en ligne dès la semaine prochaine.

NMC Horizon Report: 2011 Museum Edition
The NMC Horizon Report: 2011 Museum Edition, is a coproduction with the Marcus Institute for Digital Education in the Arts (MIDEA), and examines emerging technologies for their potential impact on and use in education and interpretation within the museum environment. The international composition of the advisory board reflects the care with which a global perspective for the report was assembled. While there are many local factors affecting the adoption and use of emerging technologies in museums, there are also issues that transcend regional boundaries and questions we all face. It was with this in mind that the report was created.
