  • It's a great question and one that I've had to answer as an assistant superintendent for instruction.
  • I used to believe that "Content is King" and prided myself in trying to get as much material covered as possible. Now I realize that content is ubiquitous, what we do with it is much more important.

    "Could a recent study by neuroscientist Simone Kühn reveal new ways of stimulating early brain development as well as a cure for the aging brain in later life? A study conducted at Max Planck Institute for Human Development and Charité University Medicine in Berlin unveils the latest findings for video gaming."

  • Why are you penalizing the 95% for the 5%? You don’t do this in other areas of discipline at school.
  • There’s a difference between a teachable moment and a punishable moment. Lean toward the former as much as possible.

When Lifting a School Cellphone Ban Is a Win for Poor Students - The Atlantic - 0 views

    "New York City's public school district is gearing up to scrap a controversial policy forbidding its 1.1 million students from having cellphones on campus. The thing is, plenty of students are already ignoring the ban. It turns out some of the poorest kids in the city are the ones who will notice the change most. The decision to lift the ban was prompted by safety concerns. Mobile phones aren't just for snapchatting but a way for kids to let parents know where they are. And with teen cellphone ownership rates so high, an ongoing ban increasingly seemed impractical-if not impossible. Civil rights activists call the move inevitable and long overdue."

    Of all the topics that can be discussed around Education, homework is possibly the one most likely to cause heated debate. It is either an essential component of learning, the foundation of positive behaviours for learning as an adult or a waste of time and energy that robs students of valuable time with family and friends. But can we make homework something that benefits everyone?

    "This coming summer I am getting the opportunity to teach a maker education camp for three weeks, half-days at a local elementary school.  The descriptions for the three one-week workshops are: Circuit Crafts: Build glowing, sensing, and interactive circuit projects; make electronic stickers, circuit sketchbooks, circuit cards, and sewn circuits. Sweet Robotics: Make simple robotics using Popsicle sticks and LED lights; play with and build some robots with Makey Makey, littleBits, Hummingbird, and Modular Robotics. Toy Hacking: Take apart simple electronic toys to see how they work & then put them back together again creating a new toy; make an operation game."

screen time worry

shared by Phil Taylor on 02 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • By modeling how and why people use digital media (e.g., to express ideas and connect with others), adults—parents, teachers and family members alike—can help students think about the purpose of their behavior and the possibilities within their reach, and then consider those little glass interfaces in a more robust and authentic context. Then screen time becomes less of a problem, and more of a consumption strategy for a human being trying to understand the world.

  • Wolfram Programming Lab has a step-by-step introductory programming course built right in. Written by Stephen Wolfram himself, An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language teaches you the basics of the Wolfram Language in a straightforward, accessible way—even if you've never coded before
  • The Wolfram Language concept: make the language do the work, not you! Automate as much as possible, so you write a tiny piece of code, and the computer figures out everything else.

What's the Difference Between Coding and Computational Thinking? | EdSurge News - 1 views

coding computer science computational thinking CT scratch

shared by John Evans on 07 Aug 16 - No Cached
  • Let’s get into a simple, but longer definition. When given any problem, can we formulate it so that it can solved using the power of computers? A computational thinker is one who collects data and analyzes it to understand the problem. That person then decomposes (breaks it down) into simpler problems. Instead of solving only that problem, you look for patterns, remove details and abstract so you can solve all problems of that type. You define the steps to solve the problem (the algorithm) and if possible, build a model to simulate, test and debug the solution.

    "In my last EdSurge article, "Computer Science Goes Beyond Coding," I wrote about the difference between coding and computer science, to help us understand what we mean by phrases like "Teach kids to code" and "Computer science for all." In that article and in many other articles, there is another term that appears often: "Computational thinking." Well, what is Computational Thinking (CT), and how does it differ from Coding and Computer Science-especially when it comes to classroom practice and instruction?"

The most important skill of the 21st century - 1 views

  • The internet is still young, and it is still learning to organize itself. But until it does, the most important skill in the 21st century will be the ability to rationally refine the sense-making apparatus of our mind.
  • The first is to do the work to figure out which information should be consumed and which should be discarded — consciously, beyond our personal biases, and ideally, from as many diverse perspectives as possible; the second is to just step away from it all to simply think about what is consumed and how it all connects.
  • If we don’t effectively use our tools, our tools end up using us. In the 21st century, the difference will be determined by how we manage information.
