  • "Leadership is the wise use of power. Power is the capacity to translate intention into reality and sustain it.
  • One way to have power is by feeling a strong sense of self-efficacy—a strong belief that you can accomplish your goals.
  • helping them learn to categorize information instead of just listing data.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • We can help our students gain the capacity to tackle unforeseen problems by emphasizing comprehension
  • We can also introduce students to what community organizers call "relational power" when we use cooperative learning activities and invite as much participatory democracy in the classroom as possible.
  • we can build relationships with students so we can learn their self-interests, hopes, and dreams, and be better prepared to more explicitly connect lessons to them. We can praise effort and specific actions more than intelligence. And we can encourage cooperative learning.
  • Good leaders also teach others.
  • "We learn 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see, 50% of what we see and hear, 70% of what we say or write...[and] 90% of what we teach.”
  • Teaching others not only requires students to reread and return to learned material but it also enhances self-confidence and provides good modeling for peers.
  • When peers teach one another, they develop respect for each others’ judgment and expertise.
  • We can also develop student leadership by creating opportunities for students to take collective action to improve their community

    I don't think blogging is part of their social lives, but academically they like it. I've used it several times for projects, to share ideas, to recommend websites and they really know how to use it and take advantage of it.

  • With Skype, teacher mentors can deliver personalized training directly to the classroom on subjects teachers need.
  • Skype can double as a quick connection to a teacher, librarian, or even a traveling parent for a child in the midst of a homework crisis.
  • One important way to inspire children to read is by reading aloud to them. Schools can arrange to have an author read a story over Skype so that the entire class can enjoy a favorite book and then ask questions for an author study

  • Mobility offers the ability to engage learners of all ages with anywhere, anytime access.
  • The presence of socially connected, multitasking students in the classroom urges educators to move away from an "information-dissemination" role toward a more interactive, collaborative process in which they guide learners in the skill of evaluating and assessing available information.
  • creating innovative and interactive learning activities that fully engage learners in experiences they perceive to be both interesting and relevant to their interests and future.
