Wire Library

This library allows you to communicate with I2C / TWI devices. On the Arduino boards with the R3 layout (1.0 pinout), the SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line) are on the pin headers close to the AREF pin. The Arduino Due has two I2C / TWI interfaces SDA1 and SCL1 are near to the AREF pin and the additional one is on pins 20 and 21.

As a reference the table below shows where TWI pins are located on various Arduino boards.

 

BoardI2C / TWI pinsUno, EthernetA4 (SDA), A5 (SCL)Mega256020 (SDA), 21 (SCL)Leonardo2 (SDA), 3 (SCL)Due20 (SDA), 21 (SCL), SDA1SCL1

 

As of Arduino 1.0, the library inherits from the Stream functions, making it consistent with other read/write libraries. Because of this, send() and receive() have been replaced with read() and write().

Reasons to link learning to the real world

Linking learning in a classroom has further benefits. It will engage the learner by giving them a real reason to have this skill or knowledge. It should not just be for a test that they will have to do! Let’s face it, for a lot of students this will automatically dis-engage them from the subject. On a side note; if learning is always based around having to learn it for the exam then I can say that take up in that subject later in life will become less likely… We all know the students who say that they are not doing this subject or that subject because it is boring! So make it interesting… As a teacher pass on that passion you have for your subject and engage the young person. Again, this can easily be done through a real world context.

Another positive side effect of a young person being engaged in learning is that they will demonstrate a positive behaviour for learning. As a teacher you will start to notice that they are now starting to ask questions (inquire) about the subject or learning outcome. Why not take this further? What about rewarding the learner for asking questions about the real world context, rather than for what they get right? I liken this to being a fisherman. You use the hook (real world context) to catch the fish (learner). Then in order to reel them in you get them to ask questions and then reward them for the question that they ask. All the time that this is happening the fisherman (teacher) is bringing the fish (learner) closer to the shore (learning outcome) through the deep waters (inquiry led deeper learning strategy). This thinking can form the basis of many lesson activities in the classroom.

This is how learners demonstrate deeper learning and it will ultimately ensure that they do not forget that learning. Learning stays in their mind because it has a purpose for them, a real reason to have it. It also creates the spark for them to want to know more.

10 Indicators Of Efficient Teaching | #LEARNing2LEARN #ICT #PracTICE

10 Indicators Of Efficient Teaching | #LEARNing2LEARN #ICT #PracTICE | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Notice that we didn’t use the more vague “good teacher” phrasing.

That’s an important distinction, because here we’re talking about something a bit more clinical. Not entirely scientific and analytical and icky, but not entirely rhetorical and abstract and mushy either. Something somewhere in the middle–human, efficient, and hopefully happy and sustainable as a result.

10 Indicators Of Efficient Teaching

 

1. You make frequent minor adjustments.

2. You have access to “good” data.

3. You don’t teach, you design.

4. You plan backwards.

5. You don’t do what you’re told.

6. You’re a learning feedback machine.

7. You prioritize endlessly.

8. You change your mind.

9. You see each student individually.

10. Your students are changing–all of them.

The Nobility of Working Ourselves Out of a Job in Education | Retirement

The Nobility of Working Ourselves Out of a Job in Education | Retirement | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
When it comes to the education sector, there is an important nobility to aggressively striving to work ourselves out of a job.


 At the same time, be a champion for advancements and developments that promise to address some of our greatest educational challenges. I tend to believe that skilled, adaptive and committed people in education will always have something to contribute, even if their current role is no longer needed.
