CUNY-NYSIEB focuses on improving the education of emergent bilingual students in New York State. These students are often referred to as English Language Learners. In New York State they are designated as such by the Language Assessment Battery-Revised (LAB-R) initially, and the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) thereafter. We refer to these students as emergent bilinguals because, in learning English, they are becoming bilingual and thus joining the growing ranks of American bilinguals in New York State and elsewhere. We consider bilingualism as the desired norm for all American students and not as the exceptional quality of a few. That is, we view bilingualism and biliteracy as an asset that all students in New York State should possess to meet the demands of the 21st century. Furthermore, our use of the term emergent bilinguals conceptualizes these students as much more than learners of English only, since they are developing proficiency and literacy in academic English from the base of home language practices. Furthermore, the term emergent bilinguals acknowledges that the education of these students must go beyond simply English language learning, to include a challenging curriculum in the content areas that also meets their social and emotional needs.

In the future, education will aim to learn the art of filter . No need to show where Kathmandu is or who was the first King of France, because that is everywhere. In return, we should ask students to analyze fifteen sites to determine what is for them the most reliable. We should teach comparison technique.

"Si leí bien, hay un objeto de perfección que es el libro, el libro de papel tal como lo conocemos. ¿Por qué? Es hasta el momento la manera más segura de conservar y transmitir la información. Por tres razones. En primer lugar, creo que es el más práctico para leer, aunque ahora haya jóvenes que dicen: “No, yo leo mejor en el iPad”. Después, está el amor por el objeto. Si voy a mi sótano y veo mi “Pinocho” de cuando tenía 8 años y en el que había escrito cosas, me vuelven emociones que no encuentro en un disco que contiene el texto de Pinocho. Por último, teniendo en cuenta mi edad y si hubiera existido, no podría recuperar el disco de Pinocho porque se habría desmagnetizado. Eso es un problema: las computadoras cambian tanto que no sabemos cuál es la vida útil de un disco…"

Earlier this year, a couple of contributions to The Teaching Professor (Haave 2014) and Faculty Focus (Weimer 2014) discussed the place of learning philosophies in our teaching. The online comments to Weimer’s blog post (2014) made me think more about how we as instructors need to be careful to bridge instructivist and constructivist teaching approaches for students not yet familiar with taking responsibility for their own learning (Venkatesh et al 2013).

Most modern organisations invest in corporate training programs. But in the age of all pervasive technology, BYOD, next generation cloud computing, is it enough to leave training programs behind in the classroom? Do you need to revamp your learning program and implement strategies that can enhance reach, appeal and impact? In short, should your learning program move to a “Blended Learning” mode?

True Blended Learning is implemented as an enhancement of classroom or face-to-face delivery, rather than as a replacement for some of the face-to-face delivery time that would have been allocated otherwise . Blended Learning is a strategy for learning reinforcement and enhanced engagement by revising classwork (but not just rehash and repetition, engagement with the material in an alternate or as yet unfamiliar scenario), linking and extending onwards from classwork into the "next step" of the material, and/or attacking the coursework from another angle entirely, linking to what they learned in class, and looking at it in another way - for example, trades based training such as electrical workers where there are important aspects of the material to be learned in both the practical hands-on side of the training, as well as a strong requirement for integrating these hands-on skills with a significant theory component. Blended learning can be very effectively employed in a scenario such as this, where the practical aspects are taught face-to-face and the theory aspects, and how they directly relate to the practical, are taught via online learning.

In 2012, most students preferred to do their online study at an institution in their home state. Undergraduate students at historically black colleges and universities were more likely to complete part of their education online than were students in general. West Virginia was the only state where students taking face-to-face courses didn’t make up at least half of the total student body. These and other data points are now available for analysis from the National Center for Education Statistics, which on Monday released the clearest breakdown of students enrolled in distance education courses in the United States to date. The statistics themselves are not new, but the findings according to region, sector and state are. The NCES, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, maintains the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, which collects data from the institutions eligible for Title IV financial aid. In 2012, the system for the first time asked colleges and universities about online enrollment, and earlier this year, the center began to tease preliminary data.
