Blended Learning's Impact on Teacher Development | Innosight Institute - 0 views

  •  
    A couple of quick takeaways for me (Michael Wacker) are that it's nice to see professional development called out as something we need, but we really have to get away form the paradigm of thinking it's something we do "to" teachers or is done "to" us.  The other takeaway I have after reading this is around a question I've asked before. If we're truly "blending" our teaching and environment, what does the space look like? How can we professionally develop as teachers to be better prepared to adapt and modify our existing learning spaces to better meet the needs of a flexible, student centric, tech infused learning environment? If shifting the ENTIRE teaching model paradigm upside down is NOT an option, what is? Is this something that needs to be built, modeled, and then iterated? I culled some nuggets from the reading.

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
    •  Lisa Durff
       
      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
