    Test your grammar savvy. It presents the most common grammar errors. This would be good for students to do as well.

    This recent talk by Gary Stager is well worth your 20 minutes to chew on. He pushes and challenges the notion of school and learning... as should we all.

bullying prevention gr8

shared by Steve Ransom on 09 Oct 13 - No Cached
  • Policies, programs, protocols, etc., can be useful tools for people to use, but they don’t change people — only people can change people. Bullying prevention must also start from the ground up — the ground of changing people’s hearts and minds towards greater respect and caring. Bullying prevention should not just be about stopping a negative behavior; it should be about how the members of the school community treat each other.
  • Compliance is a poor, ineffective substitute for a community’s commitment to creating the type culture and climate needed for learning — one that is incompatible will all types of bullying.
  • If people can’t see their culture, they will not be able to change it. Unfortunately, people can become easily habituated to ways of interacting that are often not respectful.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Regardless of how they might appear, all educators think they are doing a good job and suggesting the opposite will only make them more defensive and less open to any recommendation for changing.
  • Fear freezes people into place and prevents meaningful change.
  • Most bullying-prevention efforts emphasize what shouldn’t happen:“Don’t bully others.” The implicit message is that the schools themselves don’t have to change; they just have to make sure that bullying doesn’t happen.
  • many students who bully learn to do it under the radar of adult supervision. Traditional rewards and consequences have little if any impact on bullying behavior in schools.
  • Tell a different story.
  • Stand on principles.
  • Translate principles into specific words and actions.
  • Get adult behavior aligned with principles.
  • All students can lead.
  • Becoming a more caring and respectful school community is the means and the ends towards preventing and reducing bullying in schools.

  • Learning and play are one and the same to kids; it’s we adults who have been conditioned to believe that play is the opposite of work, a time-waster. In fact, the opposite of play is not work but depression
  • Joy is a much a sign of learning as concentration. Look for how much joy is involved in what they’re doing

ipads technology administrators decision purchase integration it

shared by Steve Ransom on 23 Jun 13 - No Cached
  • Rather than building instructional technology into regular budgets, schools and districts seem to constantly fall into this kind of big burst, headline-making, "special occasion" spending. Why do they do it that way? Simple. Administrators, along with many teachers, parents, and other voting members of the community continue to view computers as a nice-to-have extra, something to play with after we finish all that regular school stuff.
  • We don’t help kids at all by teaching them specific software, except for the few in specific vocational certification programs. Instead, how about helping kids understand how to use and be productive with any technology they might encounter? The flexibility to adapt to whatever new tools enter that workplace is a far more valuable skill than learning PowerPoint inside and out.
