Two quick links on Cognitive Load Theory I've been fielding lots of questions lately about Cognitive Load Theory. Here are two quick links that may be useful.

Update: I clarified the second...
Practical advice on kids and Android app development After hearing about my students' success developing an Android app, I've gotten several emails asking for more details as to how I practically worked with my kids.

Perdonad que escriba aquÃ, que quizás no sea el sitio adecuado, pero es la única manera de contactar con vosotros.
Soy un profesor de Magisterio de la Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, en Toledo (España). Estoy realizando actualmente una investigación para poder completar mi tesis. Trata sobre la utilización de los Blogs en Educación, o como prefiero llamarlo, sobre los Edublogs.
Para poder llegar a algunas conclusiones generalizables necesitarÃa que colaborarais conmigo. Y es para esto para lo que solicito vuestra ayuda. En principio simplemente se tratarÃa de rellenar un brevÃsimo cuestionario por parte del profesor creador del Blog y de sus alumnos/as valorando la influencia de su edublog en algunos aspectos educativamente importantes.
Por favor, si están dispuestos a colaborar, les ruego me escriban un email a JoseFrancisco.Duran@uclm.es para que les pueda enviar en un archivo adjunto el cuestionario y luego me lo devuelvan relleno.
MuchÃsimas gracias.
En Toledo tenéis un amigo (y aprovecho para invitaros a visitar esta preciosa ciudad).
Un abrazo.
