      That Assessment portion is a critical piece to have! I hope the Iowa Department of Ed is working on it.

      The "Adjusted Start and End Time" was laid out a little differently than I have seen it before.  It interests me as it seems minimally disruptive and doable.

      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.

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

TeachPaperless: Don't Block: Educate - 0 views

  • Don't block: Educate.

      It shows something negative to students when the administration doesn't truth them (or their teachers) with the Internet.
  • Would you rather your child encounter questionable content alone in their room or in a classroom mentored by a trained professional?
    • K Wolf
       
      This brings up a great point. If we use the Internet with students from the time they are in elementary school and teach them to evaluate the text, just like we would with printed text, then hopefully they will be better consumers of online information. We need to TEACH them how to handle stumbling upon questionable content. It's about setting expectations for how to use the Internet just like you would set expectations for how to use other tools in the classroom. Students will still try to get to sites that are inappropriate, but that behavior should be equivalent to anything else they do that's inappropriate and therefore subject to consequences.
  • We are educators. Nobody said education was going to be comfortable.
    • K Wolf
       
      And who says the world is a "comfortable" place. If we choose not to use the Internet or choose not to trust students with it, what message are we sending to them? We're (as schools or educators) saying to them that we're ignoring the one type of media that they find legitimate. We're saying to them that we're going to ignore the one place where they go to first for much of their information regardless of its accuracy. How can we send them that message and claim to be effective teachers???
