    "As I wrap up my first month of consulting, I have one overarching takeaway: in every building, in every district, in every city, in every state, there are administrators, teachers, and students who are so passionate about learning that you can feel the positive energy in the room. It's humbling. It's heartwarming. It's inspiring. Yet, what I also see are lots of educators and students who frequently second guess themselves, continuously ask for permission to do anything, or who render themselves silent in large groups and appear to have "given up." However, behind closed doors, these are the same educators and students who are overflowing with enthusiasm and have a wealth of knowledge. Naturally, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the strikingly similar behaviors both adult educators and student learners demonstrate in our current educational system. What causes passionate learners to become apathetic toward their passion? Why do students and adults alike ask for permission to learn? And, I keep coming back to one simple conclusion.

Brandon Busteed: In Education, Technology Changes Everything and Nothing - 3 views

  • Gallup has spent decades studying great teaching and the innate talents of the best teachers. The fundamentals that make for a great classroom teacher are the same fundamentals that make for a great online course or gaming experience. Here is what the best teachers do: They are relational: They develop student-to-student, student-to-educator, and student-to-parent relationships. They are hopeful: They inspire students with energy and enthusiasm for the future. They are insightful: They see each student as an individual and get to know his or her unique identity and nature. Simply put, great teaching is about emotionally engaging the learner in a way that is individualized.
