14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools | Ingvi Hrannar - 0 views

  • 14 things that are obsolete in 21st century schools
  • 1. Computer Rooms
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      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.
  • 2. Isolated classrooms
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      Parents are not welcome in child's school much less classroom for 'security' reasons. This must be dealt with 1st.

  • 5. Tech director with an administrator access

      My biggest beef - IT ppl with no educational degrees making decisions on which software teachers will use.
  • 4. Banning phones and tablets
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      These are routinely banned by administrations - they have not seen the every student response without district paying one red cent - that might change minds.
  • 3. Schools that don’t have WiFi
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      PUBLIC WiFi - not just teacher connections but ALL devices should be able to go online.
  • 7. Schools that don’t have Facebook or Twitter
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      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.
  • 8. Unhealthy cafeteria food
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      Many schools are doing much better - at least in MD.
  • 13. One-Professional development-workshop-fits-all
  • 9. Starting school at 8 o’clock for teenagers
  • Research has shown over and over again that teenagers do better and feel better in schools that start later.
  • 10. Buying poster-, website- and pamphlet design for the school
  • 11. Traditional libraries
  • Libraries that only contain books and chess tables are obsolete.
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      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....
  • 12. All students get the same
  • 6. Teachers that don’t share what they do
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      Collaborative PD and PLN's are the wave of the future.
  • 14. Standardized tests to measure the quality of education
