Sharing our bookmarks with teachers/schools - 3 views

Great point, Rhys. I would say that it's best to keep this site internal for our own team. However, it might make sense to use this site as a model to support the growth of an school wide Diigo group.

21 Things for the 21st Century Educator - 4 views

    Excellent! Takes a while to search through, but there is something for everyone here and it's a good resource for us to find good new tools to use for in-school PD sessions. It's one of those sites you need to revisit every few months.

  • The vertical axis on the left is Complexity, with explicit reference to rigor or new Bloom’s taxonomy from basic on the bottom to higher order at the top.  The horizontal axis is Instruction from teacher centered or didactic instruction to student centered or constructivist instruction.  The diagonal axis ranges from more abstract, artificial activities to authentic, real world or relevant activities.
  • The goal of CFF is to create more learning opportunities that are where the three axes meet in the upper right hand corner of the chart.
  • To make these changes, teachers and school leaders participate in extensive professional development on how to best harness the power of technology to increase student achievement and ensure students are ready for college and the high-tech global job market.

Enemy Lurks in Briefings on Afghan War - PowerPoint - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • PowerPoint’s worst offense is not a chart like the spaghetti graphic, which was first uncovered by NBC’s Richard Engel, but rigid lists of bullet points (in, say, a presentation on a conflict’s causes) that take no account of interconnected political, economic and ethnic forces.
  • behind all the PowerPoint jokes are serious concerns that the program stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making.
  • “I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,” Lieutenant Nuxoll told the Web site. “Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a microgrant? Make a storyboard.”

      Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.  Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused.  
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • hierarchical ordering of a confused world
  • the slides impart less information than a five-page paper can hold, and that they relieve the briefer of the need to polish writing to convey an analytic, persuasive point
  • “Dumb-Dumb Bullets,
  • vague PowerPoint slides
  • oes come in handy when the goal is not imparting information

    Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand-in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.   Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused as a replacement for rigorous critical thinking around complex issues.  It's a visual aide, not a complete platform for stand-alone communication.
