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.

      Someday hope to work with SMART boards!
  • We are now in 2012, and the 21st Century is totally upon us. The 20th Century, to be honest, is not even in the rear view mirror anymore. Blogging, flipped classrooms, iPads, mobile learning- these topics dominate the airwaves of education news and technology blogs.  With the announcement of the iBooks textbook initiative by Apple, we are entering a true era of Minority Report-style media consumption.
  • Taking the time to master these tools is not something that can be done in a 30 minute prep session before school. Mastering the education tools of this century takes a commitment to breaking down the proverbial walls of what a teacher used to be. Mastering these new teacher processes takes letting go of the idea that your day will end when you leave the brick and mortar.

Beyond the Transcript: Digital Portfolios Paint a Complete Picture | MindShift - 0 views

  • Zinch, which is free for students, is designed like a social networking tool.
  • lines are blurring between social networking tools and digital portfolios.
  • Digital portfolios provide students a way to track what they’ve learned over time, compile their grades and scores and publish their completed projects. And they provide a sense of a student’s identity, one behind the transcript, when submitting their applications.

  • 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.

Education Week Teacher: Cultivating Student Leadership - 0 views

  • "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

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