Writing the Ed-Tech List Article

The list article is my favorite article write because it is so simple. Here are the steps I follow: 1. When writing an article for publication, I start out with an engaging question, quote, or scenario. 2. A list of follow-up questions off the main topic (these are the ones that get answered) 3. A short summary conclusion or make the conclusion the final question.

Companies, careers built or lost one conversation at time

In Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises," a character is asked, "How did you go bankrupt?" He answers, "Gradually, then suddenly."

Careers and companies succeed or fail, gradually then suddenly, one conversation at a time.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
What gets talked about in a company and how it gets talked about determines what will happen. Or won't happen. Conversations provide clarity or confusion.

The most valuable currency
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
is relationship. It is emotional capital.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
Each of us accumulates or loses emotional capital, building relationships we enjoy or endure with colleagues, bosses, customers and vendors one conversation at a time.

"This ongoing, robust conversation I have been having with my wife is not about the relationship. The conversation is the relationship."
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
The conversation is the relationship. If the conversation stops, all possibilities for the relationship become smaller and all possibilities for the individuals in the relationship become smaller, until one day we overhear ourselves in mid-sentence, making ourselves smaller in every encounter, behaving as if we are just the space around our shoes, engaged in yet another three-minute conversation so empty of meaning it crackles.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
Incremental degradation -- if we compromise at work or at home, if we lower the standards about how often we talk, what we talk about, and most important, the degree of authenticity we bring to our conversations -- it's a slow and deadly slide. Meanwhile, the organization's strategy keeps stalling. Cross-boundary collaboration isn't happening. Leaders play whack-a-mole, micro-managing versus leading. Original thinking is happening elsewhere. Employees have little or no emotional connection to the organization and its customers. Relationships steadily disintegrate, one failed or missing conversation at a time.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
It is the unusual leader who turns his or her attention to the conversations of the company; and yet, our leverage point, our fulcrum, is whatever conversation in which we are engaged at any given moment in time. While no single conversation is guaranteed to change the trajectory of a career, a company, a relationship or a life, any single conversation can.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
a careful conversation is a failed conversation because it merely postpones the conversation that wants and needs to take place.

What is the deepest issue in this confusion? Speak toward it, with firmness and concentration.

posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
Let's engage ourselves there, and tell the truth as much as we can. There is something deep within us that responds to those who level with us, who don't suggest our compromises for us. You may try to say something trivial and find that you can't do it. You must speak directly to the heart of the issue.

If nothing changes, what's likely to happen?

What's the conversation out there with your name on it? The one you've been avoiding for days, weeks, months, years? Who is it with and what's the topic?
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
When the conversation is real, the change occurs before the conversation has ended.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 05-02-2008
don't try to have important conversations via e-mail. The most powerful communications technology any of us will ever have is eye contact. The next is voice. Dead last is words on a page or a screen.

With the globalization of the economy, with the ability of workers anywhere in the world to fill even sophisticated roles in the current information and knowledge economies, and with

major segments of traditional work opportunities moving out of Texas and offshore, it is no longer sufficient to benchmark locally or even nationally our schools and the learners who successfully

complete their courses of study here. It is no longer adequate to sprinkle a bit of technology literacy on a traditional curriculum and expect that students are ready for relevant higher education or

for entry into a highly competitive workforce. And, it is no longer realistic to think that a 21st Century educator can be effective by preparing once, teaching the same thing every year for twenty-five

or thirty years, and call that a career.

Conversations

Airs Thurs., May 29 at 8 p.m.(repeats Sun., June 1 at 5 p.m.) on KLRN

Conversations is KLRN’s locally-produced program that spotlights San Antonio and the people here who make contributions to our way of life. The series raises awareness about the talent, energy and commitment of people who make a positive difference--in the social and economic well being of the city and in the prospects of the city as a place where our children will want to have careers and raise their families. It is about stories and sharing ideas with our audience. Join Don Knezek, CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and Dr. Robert Durón, Superintendent of the San Antonio Independent School District, as they discuss 21st century skills for educators and how one local district is utilizing PBS TeacherLine Capstone courses for integrating technology in

the classroom.

Great post on the convergence of 21st Century Learning Skills and Free Open Source Software development.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008

The inside of the “rainbow” is Core Content and 21st Century Skills. New information is being created at an incredible rate. However, that doesn't mean we no longer need to learn fundamentals like reading, writing and math. We still need those basic skills as a foundation for new and ever changing information and knowledge. However, those skills can be taught in a cross curricular-manner within the context of a 21st century theme such as globalization.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
questions like legal access to DVD codecs and compatibility and adoption of standards within different media players colored the conversations. It wasn't enough to know “what” to code or “how” to code it. That's the “easy” part! Developers had to take international law as well as regional and global market demands into consideration. Though we all know information doesn't exist in a vacuum, it was instantly clear just how interdependent the discipline of their training was with critical information outside of their formal training.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self direction, social and cultural skills, productivity and accountability, and leadership and responsibility. Every manager wishes his or her employees possessed each of these and launching an entrepreneurial venture without at least most of these is virtually impossible! Watching the developers of Linux employ these skills was simply amazing.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
They work across political, social, linguistic and cultural boarders. They do this out of passion, pride and purpose. Now this is not to say their work will not be identified and yield them a high paying job with companies using or supporting Linux. However, this is typically not the motivation and there are much easier ways to earn that kind of salary.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
The Linux Foundation is building an ecosystem of computing! It is not an application, a suite, or even just an operating system...they are building an ecosystem! This is not a company, it is many individuals and groups. It does not have an organizational chart, a building, merit based parking or any of the other things we associate with organizations capable of taking on such a task. Instead, brilliant and passionate individuals work, often in their “spare” time, to build this computing environment.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
This first requires the ability to communicate and collaborate. The Internet (e-mail, forums and blogs) provide the conduits of communication but people still need to be able to use those tools, and language, to collaborate and get things done. These developers not only collaborate across national and socio-economic borders, they also work across technical boundaries. What are the needs of the hardware, firmware, OS, and even (gasp!) the end user!
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
innovation and creativity. Their access to so many people across so many cultures certainly creates a hot bed of innovation.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
Developers are constantly dealing with bugs, new feature needs and upgrade compatibility issues. When things don't work, they are forced to break down what they know and develop strategies for attacking the problem. Also, because they are developing a real product that is being used by the entire Fortune 500, it is a pretty meaningful challenge. You can't just set it aside.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
It is difficult to create opportunities for your students in other major international projects capable of creating such meaningful and authentic experiences. It costs you nothing (and may actually save you money) to include your students in the Open Source community. It costs nothing to participate in an open source project and replacing a commercial product with an open source one in your school to create the environment for learning may actually lower your software budget. Not only does Linux and the Open Source community provide one of the best examples of 21st Century Skills, but its one that you have access to. How cool is that?!
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
Give students access and then point them to the community that supports it, usually found in Help menu, under “About.” Encourage them to bring questions about the software to the community. Encourage them to read the forums. After gaining some experience with a product, such as OpenOffice, Audacity, or iTalc, contact the project leader to organize a project to formalize feedback. Run the product through the paces of authentic use and have students engage in the process of evaluating the tool as a means to their productive end. Thinking about the process is a form of metacognition. By evaluating the role of the tool they are thinking about their learning and productivity process. Ask students to provide feedback on the tool based on their project steps. The project leaders will greatly value structured feedback. Also, they may make changes in the product based on your feedback and ask your students to test the changes. You can decide if you are going to build that step into your class. However, this is where the real energy happens. When testing changes, students will be working with a team of people (possibly international) to solve problems and meet standards.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-28-2008
The “secret sauce” has always been the process...the experience. Letting open source be part of that allows them to think more about that process and some of your students will take advantage of the opportunity and become regular participants in open source projects, thus placing them in the epicenter of all of the 21st Century Skills discussed above.

successful schools are places where teams of teachers meet regularly to focus on student work through assessment and change their instructional practice accordingly to get better results
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-08-2008
- Fullan's remarks here highlight the importance of teacher self-reflection on their teaching practice. Blogs present an excellent method of encouraging this kind of communal reflection on lessons, fostering the introspection needed to improve one's own practice.

clarity
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-08-2008
- Clarity does not necessarily equate to simplicity. Over-simplification of methodological approaches can leads to confusion. Simply, well-structured problems send one message, while ill-structured problems encourage inquiry and higher-order thinking. Simplify a problem and you risk removing that which is most engaging.
  
  Of course, it's easy to imagine a simple ill-structured problem. You know one?

setting goals (few in number); using data to identify areas of lowest performance; and then finding, creating, and continuously refining better ways to teach to those skills using a baseline and measuring the number of students who actually learn the specific targeted skills.

But they don't begin with the strategy. They begin with the specific standard or standards we want more students to learn. Then they choose and adapt the appropriate strategy. Being specific does not mean only basic skills, as important as they are.
posted by Miguel guhlin on 04-08-2008
- Unfortunately, this approach means beginning with curriculum standards. I think we should start with NETS for Students and adapt curriculum/content strategies/activities to that.
