Most Teachers Don't Live There… | Teacher Reboot Camp - 3 views

  • Technology is not the enemy and ignorance is not bliss. If we don’t show students how to use social media and technology, then we cannot complain when they use this in unhealthy ways.
  • I love my personal learning network. I love reading and commenting on their blogs, interacting with them through Twitter, Skyping with their principals, collaborating through nings, attending conferences with them on Second Life and on e-learning platforms! If I never participated in social media, then I would not be the educator I am today! Now, it is time for me to begin to spread the word.
  • Make a goal to introduce the value of a personal learning network to at least one educator. I find most educators actually enjoy the value they receive when introduced to blogs.

Trouble with Rubrics - 0 views

  • “we need to look to the piece of writing itself to suggest its own evaluative criteria” – a truly radical and provocative suggestion.
    • Jo Richards
       
      Wow, nice concept. Getting further into subjectivity though. Where do we get an understanding of how to determine a pieces distinct 'evaluative criteria'
  • Thus, the dilemma:  Either our instruction and our assessment remain “out of synch” or the instruction gets worse in order that students’ writing can be easily judged with the help of rubrics.
  • In fact, when the how’s of assessment preoccupy us, they tend to chase the why’s back into the shadows.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • We have to reassess the whole enterprise of assessment, the goal being to make sure it’s consistent with the reason we decided to go into teaching in the first place.

The report tells the story of Gospel for Teens, a non-profit arts organization created in Harlem, NYC by the radio broadcaster, publisher and theatre producer, Vy Higginsen. Her original goals were modest; teach kids to sing gospel music so that this important African American art form endures. The lessons Ms. Higginsen, the teenagers and the 60 Minutes audience learn are much more profound and life-altering.
