Growth Mindset Is Not Enough | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    "We educators may be tempted to believe that once students develop growth mindset, they are adequately prepared to face life's challenges and changes. But growth mindset is not nearly enough by itself to thoroughly outfit anyone with all it takes to attain their full potential. Possessing a positive perspective is but one instrument in what must be a cohesive quartet that meets each child's fundamental needs. Growth mindset is indeed crucial, but not any more or less so than three other sets of readiness. Educators must nurture the whole child. The following four core capabilities are equally important and inextricably intertwined."

The 5 Keys to Educational Technology -- THE Journal - 3 views

  • It is quite important to include the modifier of "appropriate" to this component
  • use of video to bring the depths of the universe to the learner's eyes; the use of the Internet to give the learner instant access to thoughts and observations of humanity's greatest thinkers--these are examples of technology facilitating the application of our own senses, memories, and cognitive abilities
  • our educational infrastructure is based largely on the idea that the learner will progress far more quickly under the mentorship of a skilled instructor--both knowledgeable in the subject matter and competent in instructional methodologies

  • Therefore, to justify the continued experimentation with and exploration of new technologies: smart classrooms, use of podcasts, access to the Internet, laptops for every child, and on and on, we need to assess our outcomes, make incremental changes in our methodologies to address shortcomings, then assess again, closing the loop in order to evaluate the efficacy of our work.

Marble Math - App Review - Geeks With Juniors - 0 views

  • Marble Math is a fun app for practicing basic math skills. The app is best when used as a companion rather than a primary app, as it doesn't explain math concepts and merely sharpens them. Content-wise, the app is geared towards older juniors. The developers specifically mention that the app is designed for kids aged 9 to 12+, and judging from the problem sets, I agree with them. If you have younger juniors, I would suggest getting Marble Math Junior instead, which has the same gameplay but easier problem sets.

Powerpoint Schmowerpoint: Teach kids to create really engaging presentations - 9 views

  • At its core, what’s the point of tech integration? I would argue that it isn’t to teach students how to use a single tool – any tool we teach kids to use now will most likely be obsolete by the time they enter the workforce. But just like we don’t teach students to read every book they’ll ever encounter, we don’t need to teach them to use every tech tool they’ll ever encounter. Rather, we need to teach them the skills – the grammar, the phonics – that will allow them to navigate the tech tools they will eventually use.

  • “digital natives” I find that more often than not, they live in the internet shallows.
  • First, I don’t think we teach the skills of how to be a lifelong learner at all-how do you find a good book to read, a useful tutorial on fly fishing or an excellent explanation of the second law of thermodynamics?
  • What if there were an “Introduction to Life Long Learning Now” (ILLLN, for short) course that every 9th grade student takes
