  • In schoolhouse lingo, I could only declare teachers and students 'absent' from the board of P21. And until that absence is rectified, the board will only symbolize the top-down old-fashioned 20th century style of management that's gotten us into so many of the problems that as a nation we currently face.

      Collaboration is so key to the world our students will grow up in. I feel there is a mentality that collaboration = cheating with the kids I've learned with (and when I was in high school). It will be important to change the connotation of the word.

world languages 21st C Skills global awareness

shared by Susan Sandholm-Petersen on 10 Apr 10 - Cached
  • Mastery of world languages and the weaving of global awareness into core subject areas are key components of their definition of success. Yet too often, as in President Obama's call to arms this week, the notion that part of a world-class education includes knowing something about the world gets left out of the reform rhetoric. It's time to include global competency—knowing how to compete, communicate and collaborate with the world—as a core 21st century skill that all students, indeed, have a right to learn

      One of the best ways to learn global competence and to develop global literacy is to learn another language. Communication and collaboration are embedded and experienced via the target language
    • Susan Sandholm-Petersen
      Susan Sandholm-Petersen on 10 Apr 10
       
      Although World Languages is listed as a key 21st Century Skill (second on the list of key competencies, after English, reading and language arts), World Languages instruction is currently not part of the Iowa Core Curriculum. Will our Iowa students be fully prepared to work on a global level without this competency?

      We also need to be very supportive of each other during this process. It will definitely be a change for many (most?) teachers. We need to celebrate our successes and build upon them. We also need to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it when things do not turn out how we hoped/planned.

    With the research that shows the importance of building student creativity, it is concerning to see so many districts eliminating or de-funding arts programs.
  • Steph Groathouse on 05 Jun 12
     
    While watching the video, I had kind of an a-ha moment (many of you have probably reached this point years ago). I imagined the schools of long ago -- think one room prairie school houses. For many kids this was the only place they would see books or be exposed to anything beyond merely existing. At some point, school and home began switching places. As stated in the video, without allowing the new available technology into the classroom and teaching them how to manage it, school will become a one room schoolhouse and home will be the place they can explore the world and expand their intellect. What we need to work for is a seamless meshing of the two. They come to school to get inspired and motivated to continue learning on their own time.

      When it comes to educational technology, the great teacher isn't the one who merely uses technology in education. The great teacher is the one who experiments and who teaches the spirits within students to experiment. It's sad to see many teachers still thinking they are using technology with their classes but are still not getting it into the students hands.

      I think it is very hard for teachers to trust new technology and give it to the students to use. The students are most likely ready and willing to try the technology, now we just have to jump on board.

      I think the districts need to provide more technology in the classroom in order for teachers to take advantage of the new technology to go paperless. I currently have two computers in my classroom and we do not have a computer lab.
    • Jennifer Rawlins

      I know my district is in need of providing technology to teachers and students so that we can use technology more. It makes it more difficult when you only have two computers in the classroom and no computer lab for students to experiment.

    Articles like this make you think. Paperless? Is that the goal? I believe the goal is to help our students become better learners. Learners that can discover, adapt, create, communicate, lead and follow. Technology has a huge role in this. More than time to jump on board.
  • Julie Collison on 04 Sep 11
     
    At the company I work at - we are paperless in handling claims and I do have to say it is nice. The system we use - you can mark pages, highlight, attach sticky notes, and several other options. It is a great system and can fax and email right from your desk - so if the paperless in school can correlate - it could be a great addition. I do think that when it is in teaching - you can lose the benefit of face to face, etc as well as penmanship could become a lost art.

    Some times we forget that technology items - computers, overhead, SmartBoard - are all tools to help us help our students. There is a whole new realm of literacy as mentioned, technology literacy, for both teachers and students. One overarching literacy principle is how to decide which tool to use when and what skills are needed to carry out the work.

    It is a very broad range to cover with the words "technological knowledge and skills to learn effectively and live productively" because we know that that will look so different for each individual student. With that in mind, I feel the 'process' becomes the important thing and as educators we need to try to 'open the doors' and 'help each other go through them' - teacher to student, student to teacher, student to student and teacher to teacher.
  • Michele Arman on 11 Apr 10
     
    I like this vision that we are striving for. Today's students need technology knowlege and skills. All students will be able to make individual contributions if we keep this goal. Tehnology has changed the way we work today and how we have our relationships.
  • Julie Schwertley on 14 Apr 10
     
    I totally agree. We always need to be looking at the big picture because the tools in our tool box change so often.

      I am wondering when this award was given because the article says "Today...." but there's no date. It is so good to see that SOMETHING is working in Iowa's Education system. The news in the special education arena received in August 2011 from Marty Ikeda was nothing short of disappointing and frankly, a big let down, with the information that Iowa is LAST in the nation in regards to the gap between special educaiton and regular education student achievement. So, this article reinforces my long-standing belief that Iowa is a LEADER in education. I am pleased to see that Iowa continues to pursue forward-thinking opportunities!!

  • Does this jettisoning of time-honored titles mean that the paperless classroom is also lacking a creator, controller and grader?  Is the paperless classroom also a teacherless paradigm?  The answer is in some regards, yes.  I have removed myself from center stage.  I have relinquished the need to control every class.  I have stopped seeing work as stagnant…completed and submitted by students and then graded by me.  I have let go of my need to pre-plan months at a time, in favor of following the path that unfolds as we learn together.  My classes are not, however, teacherless, just less about the teaching and more about the learning.  The students know that I am ready and willing to be student to their insights, that they can teach, create, control and even evaluate their own learning.  This shift has inspired a true spirit of collaboration, critical thinking, and communication in B304–it has been an amazing semester and has changed the course of my career for good!

      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.

      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.
