  • Parents can involve their kids, even at a very young age, to help them not only pick their favorite works but also to assess and reflect on their learning. The reflection component, much more than the presentation element of digital portfolios, is where Barrett believes they reach their full power.

A Tech-Happy Professor Reboots After Hearing His Teaching Advice Isn't Working - Techno... - 0 views

  • Mr. Wesch is not swearing off technology—he still believes you can teach well with YouTube and Twitter. But at a time when using more interactive tools to replace the lecture appears to be gaining widespread acceptance, he has a new message. It doesn't matter what method you use if you do not first focus on one intangible factor: the bond between professor and student.
  •  
    Its very important to always remember that we are the teachers, our job is to guide children to use technology in a positive way. We have to learn how find advantages as well as disadvantages of using internet and technology in our classrooms this way we can plan ahead when something goes bad.

  • ...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
  •  
    This is an interesting article about instilling leadership skills into your students.
