1. Computer Rooms
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  True but classroom teachers should not be deprived of this special when they have a free period for planning, PD, contacting parents. COWS with a specials tchr to reinforce classroom instruction + classroom integration might work better.

4. Banning phones and tablets
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  These are routinely banned by administrations - they have not seen the every student response without district paying one red cent - that might change minds.

7. Schools that don’t have Facebook or Twitter
- Lisa Durff on 02 Jan 17
  
  Love communicating with grandson's superintendent on Twitter - I know before the 'official' notification sources when school's are closed. Wish principal and teacher had Twitter too OR let me into the school's Edmodo.

Libraries that only contain books and chess tables are obsolete.

  I have a beef with this blanket statement. Libraries with books ARE invaluable for primary students. Once they are hooked on reading, then introduce digital reading. Libraries could have free hot beverages though....

"Both Friedman in Thank You For Being Late and Kevin Kelly in The Inevitable make an optimistic case that as technology displaces workers, it also creates new jobs requiring new skills. But Friedman also noted that when the Industrial Age displaced the Agricultural Age, it took about a generation for old ways to die off and new ways to surface. While the rate of change has accelerated since 2007, will our rate of adaptation - both as individuals and as educational systems - match that change rate? Audrey quoted Neil Selwyn, who identified three contemporary ideologies intertwined with the technological ones - libertarianism, neoliberalism, adnd the ideology of the new economy…to which she added a fourth - technological solutionism. These four align with concepts of venture capitalism, the gig economy, the shared economy, the attention economy…all happening fast, free, easy for you, and accelerating."

That means students in PBL classrooms are spending more time learning about important content through experiences that emphasize critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication
- Lisa Durff on 13 May 12
  
  My research question (for course project) is does PBL in high school influence college/university enrollment rates?

Cultivate a global perspective among students—their “competitors” are not the people sitting next to them in class, or even nearby, but people sitting in China and India and Brazil studying hard and working hard and learning how to collaborate.

leadership passion collaboration

shared by Lisa Durff on 25 Aug 12 - No Cached

A purpose needs to be real. Here are four relevant elements: “A good purpose is ennobling.” There needs to be a level of inspiration; it delivers meaning to the people in the organization and the work they do. “A good purpose puts a stake in the ground.” It defines what the organization will be and not be. It is about trade-offs. “A good purpose sets you apart; it makes you distinct.” It is not about generic descriptions – software company or non-profit organization. It is what makes the organization different from others and what may drive innovation and approach. “Above all, a good purpose sets the stage for value creation and capture.” It must create good economic outcomes. The ultimate question: “If your company disappeared today, would the world be different tomorrow?”

I am going to be trying this tool out soon. I know some of my colleagues will be excited about this. I especially like that the designers built it on top of HTML5 which in the long(er) run it will make it a viable tool to train folks on how to use because it will be relevant. It also plays nicely with vis.io which is a plus, too.
