This was a thought-provoking article with a lot of interesting ideas around how to use the "back-channel" in the classroom. I was especially taken aback by all of the comments that essentially lambasted these teachers for integrating 21c learning experiences into the classroom. One commenter said: "It needs to be explained to teacher Erin Olson that teachers should be encouraging students to extricate themselves from all the electronic gadgetry and to pay attention." Ah yes, wouldn't it be nice if all of students sat quietly in their desks and listened attentively with their hands folded, ready to take in the sage wisdom of the instructor standing in front of the room. Unreal.

I am intrigued by this idea, but worried that it will lead to a focus on math procedures over conceptual understanding. I think the latter is possible, just harder. Does anyone know if this is actually a school or if any schools are doing this? The article just refers to a summer school experiment.

New Journalism could be applied to most student writing. It benefits from intense reporting, immersion in a subject, imaginative scene setting, dialogue and telling details. These are the very skills most English teachers want students to develop. What’s odd is how rarely such literary nonfiction appears on English — or other class — reading lists.

The international strategy is inextricably linked with the Department's domestic priorities to advance two goals simultaneously: to strengthen U.S. education and to advance our nation's international priorities. By working to increase the global competencies of all U.S. students, learning from other countries to improve our education policies and practices, and engaging in active education diplomacy, we will help to advance these two strategic goals. The strategy is firmly based on the belief that a world-class education for all—both domestically and internationally—is a win-win.
