    I'd like to hear more about who's bridging the gaps between traditional skills and students' new habits ;)  Great missed opportunities to connect Vishal's love of film with the English curriculum, for example.

    "Intrigued by the technology curriculum the principal had developed (digital filmmaking by second grade), Ms. Black quickly zeroed in: had she modeled it after stellar programs elsewhere? Could it be scaled up?"

    Authors say these applications are, "technology every educator should know." Some new applications... I was impressed that the authors include alignment to NETS-T for each tool. We can share the NETS alignment along with the tool.

    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.

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.
