The 14 Most Destructive Millennial Myths Debunked by Data - The Mission - Medium - 6 views

  •  
    ""My generation sucks." "Embarrassing to be apart of the "handout" generation offended by everything." "I'm a millennial and I'm NOT proud, my generation is so brainwashed and could easily be conditioned to losing America they way we know it." "We are the laziest piece of crap lol" "As a millennial myself, I absolutely hate my generation." This is how you feel about yourself when you've been told for the past 15 years how bad you are at life. This would be comical if people didn't actually believe it. But since they do, it's disturbing. Look for yourself. What do you get when you google, "Millennials are.." "

The Myth of 'I'm Bad at Math' - Miles Kimball & Noah Smith - The Atlantic - 2 views

  •  
    "Is math ability genetic? Sure, to some degree. Terence Tao, UCLA's famous virtuoso mathematician, publishes dozens of papers in top journals every year, and is sought out by researchers around the world to help with the hardest parts of their theories. Essentially none of us could ever be as good at math as Terence Tao, no matter how hard we tried or how well we were taught. But here's the thing: We don't have to! For high-school math, inborn talent is much less important than hard work, preparation, and self-confidence."

The Myth Of Digital Citizenship And Why We Need To Teach It Anyway | EdReach - 3 views

  • “I get that it’s new technology. But aren’t we talking about basically the same behavior? We’ve just shifted from an analog to a digital method, right?
  • if we teach clear and comprehensive expectations about behavior we have pretty much all our technology bases covered in regard to digital citizenship.
  • digital citizenship. It’s just citizenship. The rules don’t change just because you have a screen in front of you.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • instead we teach responsible cell phone use consistent with our other behavior expectations.
  • The real way technology challenges us is the impact of misbehavior. The scope and reach is immediate and vast. An infraction that in the analog world would constitute a small gaff can become a full blown media incident in our digital age. What technology has done is taken the social consequences and amplified them beyond the capacity of many of our students to comprehend.  It’s taken what historically has been pretty low price tag infractions and inflated them at a rate many of us are unprepared to deal with. Consequences we engineer should teach.  The consequences brought about by the ramifications of misuse of technology often do not teach. They often do damage. We really have very little control of the coarse reaction the world drops on our children.

  •  
    "Having integrated coding into my math classes, many teachers have asked me how to get started.  I am happy to help.  In talking to many teachers and parents, it seems there is considerable misunderstanding of how coding really fits the elementary school classroom.  Hopefully these points can help us out and generate discussion."
