The Language Of The Maker Movement: 38 Terms For Teachers - 1 views

  •  
    "As the maker movement in culture moves from MacGyver jokes and what Noah did when Allie left him in The Notebook to something with a bit more academic and cognitive credibility, it has also begun to creep in to the education space. As with any niche, there is specialized language-jargon-that may keep things murky for you. The 38 terms below by no means represent an exhaustive collection. (There are dozens of gadgets, circuit boards, and digital, robotic, and electrical wizardry we left on the cutting room flow.) But for most teachers in most circumstances, it should serve as a nice starting points."

Educating in the 21st Century: You Don't Know What You Don't Know - 13 views

  • I consider myself an open person who will always hear out others' ideas but when a colleague suggested to me that I sign up for a Twitter account, I admit some question marks flowed through my mind. Twitter? Isn't that for celebrities?
  • Sadly, what dawned on me is that as hard as I had once worked as a teacher, I had restricted myself by my own educational paradigm. I had been stuck within a paradigm of 'coverage' and in hindsight I realize that all of the improvements I had made were incremental at best. Now, thanks in large part to my Personal Learning Network, I view teaching and learning through a new paradigm...a paradigm of 'inquiry'. (more on this in a future post!)

Do iPads Have the Capacity to Change Education? - iPads in Education - 8 views

  • Professional development becomes far more valuable when it searches beyond the simple nuts and bolts of technical use and instead encourages teachers to disrupt the traditional flow of education - to dabble, experiment and re-imagine how that technology can be used to sculpt new educational horizons.

Let It Marinate: The Importance of Reflection and Closing | Edutopia - 0 views

  • In what different ways do you structure reflection and closings in your classroom?
    • Owen Fidler
       
      When working in 1:1 schools, there are so many ways to document and share bell work and end of class closings. It is even better to tie them together and gain further meaning... I.e. question for follow up is answered the following lesson.
  •  
    "I am one of those people who regularly figures out exactly what to say after the moment has passed. I will be deep in conversation with someone, sharing thoughts and bouncing around ideas. Yet, as the thoughts swirl, I'll have an unsettled feeling. Often it is not until some time later, when the ideas have marinated, that I realize what matters most to me and how to say it. I find that the flow of learning for many of my students matches my personal need for intellectual reflection. "

Will Richardson: My Kids are Illiterate. Most Likely, Yours Are Too - 7 views

  • they're not "designing and sharing information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes." Nor are they "building relationships with others to solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally." And as far as "managing, analyzing and synthesizing multiple streams of information?"
  • National Council of Teachers of English feels a "literate person" should be able to do right now
  • If we don't talk about how learning is changing first, the schools we create will continue to be places of "tinkering on the edges" instead of truly changed spaces.

  • the reality for my kids and yours is that they are going to be immersed in these spaces, potentially connecting and learning with two billion strangers, required to make sense of huge flows of information and creating and sharing their knowledge with the world. That is their reality; it wasn't ours.

Introduction to Twitter - 0 views

  • Twitter is one of the fastest growing Web 2.0 services out there at the moment. At first glance, it might seem like an enormous distraction and waste of time. In this class, we're going to take a second glance at it and focus on ways in which Twitter can help you to tune in to the larger flow of ideas about teaching with technology that you might otherwise not hear abou

Presentation Zen: Lessons from the art of storyboarding - 0 views

  • Applying the conceptsHow can you visualize your presentation like a comic? No, not literally perhaps — but something like the sequential flow of a comic or rough sketches in storyboard form. You can do this on a whiteboard, but one of the best analog ways is with sticky notes (Post its) on a wall on in a notebook (a technique Bert Decker, Nancy Duarte, and others have talked about before as well).
    • John Evans
       
      Another great use for Post-It Notes!
  • Here is a good short video reviewing the art of the storyboard as it's used in story development and production in the motion picture industry.
  • Storyboards are an effective, inexpensive way to develop the story. You can "board it up" on the wall and see if it works. Because ideas can be changed easily and quickly, storyboarding works. The key is to put down in your storyboards the minimum amount of information that gives a dynamic and quick read of the content (and the emotions) of the sequence.

  • A good storyboard artist is a good storyteller.
  • Walt Disney, they say, was an amazing pitchman/storyboard artist. Walt's great ability was his passion and vision behind the pitch. The storyboard pitch is one of the great performance arts developed in the 20th century at Disney (yet no one ever gets to see it). The use of storyboards is one of the reasons Walt Disney's early films were so remarkable; the practice was soon copied.
  • With storyboarding you tell the story in the simple form (storyboard reels) before entering the more complex form. The storyboard lets the whole team in on what's going on with the production. The storyboard is "an expensive writing tool, but an inexpensive production tool." The storyboard can cut out a lot of unnecessary work. Storyboards allow you to see what is not working (and toss the bits out that don't work).
  • Kevin Costner: "If I can make things work on paper, then I can make them work on the set."

    Very nice discussion about storyboarding.

Developing Online From Simplicity toward Complexity: Going with the Flow of Non-Linear ... - 0 views

  • the two learning systems and cultures, that of school and of the Web, are fundamentally different; one has a basis in control and structure, and the other is seemingly unstructured and chaotic. Educators, particularly those of the young, would ignore such observations at their peril. As Lee states, “most teachers, parents, education bureaucrats and politicians will not sit easily with an education they don’t control – and in many senses do not understand”
