WNY Education Associates » Goomoodleikiog: Transforming Teaching in Plain English - 1 views

  • Maybe good teaching and good use of the web is about all about crafting the way we live our verbs and our adjectives. It’s about paying attention to what kids are doing: where they can engage and how they can connect. Maybe our job is simply to study them in action, determine which of those skills need further support, provide feedback, and shift our position and the support we provide in response. Teachers who wonder how the web can revolutionize teaching and learning might appreciate this Common Craft-style video by Leigh Murrell and Heidi Beezley:

Digital Education: Malcolm Gladwell: Lessons from Fleetwood Mac - 0 views

  • The first is that effort is more important than talent
  • In fact, almost every successful individual or organization puts in at least 10,000 hours of practice first, which averages out to about four hours a day for ten years, he estimates.
  • The second lesson educators could learn from Fleetwood Mac's success is the importance of a compensation strategy, rather than a capitalization strategy. In other words, instead of building on successes, the band became better and more successful because they put their energy into compensating for their weaknesses, he said.

  • And the last lesson educators can learn from Fleetwood Mac? The path to genius is often riddled with experiments involving many different methods and strategies over a long period of time, said Gladwell. Learning does not happen in one big burst of genius, he said. "Sometimes the struggle to learn something is where the actual learning lies."

Overdrive Online Marketing Blog: Is Generation Y Experiencing a Technology Burnout? - 1 views

  • The baby boomer results don't surprise me. What does jump out at me is how the most technologically savvy generation we have seen to date is slowing their adoption. Could they be suffering from social fatigue or do they have enough technology in their lives already? Perhaps they are returning toward more face-to-face venues, which anecdotally, I have heard. It will be interesting to see how this progresses next year.

Report Finds Online Threats to Children Overblown - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • The Internet may not be such a dangerous place for children after all. A task force created by 49 state attorneys general to look into the problem of sexual solicitation of children online has concluded that there really is not a significant problem.
  • But the report concluded that the problem of bullying among children, both online and offline, poses a far more serious challenge than the sexual solicitation of minors by adults.
  • “This shows that social networks are not these horribly bad neighborhoods on the Internet,” said John Cardillo, chief executive of Sentinel Tech Holding, which maintains a sex offender database and was part of the task force. “Social networks are very much like real-world communities that are comprised mostly of good people who are there for the right reasons.”

Twitter CHATTER - Winnipeg Free Press - 2 views

  • Best of all, many of these links connect to legitimate media websites, where reporters still adhere to the quaint, time-tested practices of checking facts, attributing quotes to sources and engaging in first-hand reporting, all of which generally involves talking to human beings.
  • more to prove the value of conventional journalism than any innovation by the mainstream media itself.
