      These apps are really useful for teachers of all disciplines. Some of these apps require using an iPad. Is that in our near future?

      Using web2.0 tools to motivate students
  • the biggest enemy of effective learning can’t be taken away by applying those strategies because it’s something that is fundamental and essentially more important than having a strategy: motivation or or in other words the lack of motivation many learners experience.
  • learning in school or college was based on tradition and lesson plans and undoubtedly some well-respected methods but without real scientific evidence that the way we learn is actually the best way we could learn. It’s just the way some people decided on and we have always done it ever since.

  • In 2010, legislation defIned full implementation of the Iowa Core as "accomplished when the school or district is able to provide evidence that an ongoIng process is In place to ensure that each and every student is learnIng the Iowa Core standards for ELA and Mathematics and the Essential Concepts and Skills of Science, Social Studies and 21st Century Skills. 
  • "If district leaders (administrators, teachers, and the school board) and other educators monitor and increase the degree of alignment among the intended, enacted, and assessed curriculum, then the quality of instruction will improve and student learning and performance will increase."

    I am sharing this because I think it is important for teachers outside of special education to recognize. Sometimes kids need a little extra something to keep them busy. To often teachers see it as a toy and take it away, but these kids need something in their hands to keep them from getting so much built up energy.

  • There are no federal funds tied to the Common Core, so no money is at stake for Iowa.
  • Core also includes requirements to teach such skills as finance and technology literacy.
  • The Iowa Core is similar to the Common Core, with higher standards in some areas. The Iowa

    Great idea for ICC. There is no reason for all teachers to reinvent the wheel for each lesson. Great form of collaboration!

      Have you read Friedman? I have a little...there's also plenty of push-back on this guy's ideas.

      I think these are all great...but think back to the '5 essential characteristics' and formative assessment, etc. How will we be able to "assess" these skills? It's tough to assess these soft skills, in my opinion.

      Yes, these are definitely broad topics. What underlying, assessable skills make up these survival skills?

      I'm interested to see the opinions of those in the ICC group regarding this book. I have not read it, but I know Gladwell had one of the keynotes at NECC this year and Outliers is brought up fairly often by my colleagues. It's definitely a book I'd like to read at some point, if only for the sake of seeing what all the fuss is about.

      Formative assessment needs to be used throughout a unit to check student progress.
    • Russ Goerend
      Russ Goerend on 10 Jun 09
       
      Definitely! I would argue that just as important as checking progress is adjusting instruction based on that progress.
    • Matt Townsley
      Matt Townsley on 10 Jun 09
       
      good point, Russ. It's a big shift from "assessment to report learning" from "assessment to improve learning." I see this difference as one that will be tough for the masses to understand due to the tradition of summative assessments.
  • In turn, it allows the educator to amend their Instruction and content before they admInister the summative assessment.
    • Russ Goerend
      Russ Goerend on 10 Jun 09
       
      This is also important!

      I think this is key with students of today. As we (educators) realize that students are learning differently today b/c of the way they use technology, I think we will see that using MORE formative assessments and giving students MORE immediate feedback will be even MORE effective than we think. Students receive immediate feedback all the time from their peers; I think it should be the same with their teachers.
