      Is a brain that's wired differently a bad thing?
    • Jon Perkins
      Jon Perkins on 10 Jul 11
       
      It seems at times that "wired differently" is being used as an excuse for a growing inability to stay on task. When the need for immediate gratification leads you to think that 6 minutes of YouTube is a substitute for reading Vonnegut, I get a little worried. The social world of the teenagers may center around multitasking, but that seems to suggest that we need to have them work on focused concentration in the classroom ... rather than reinforcing skills that they are mastering on their own.

    Jon- I totally agree that we should still make them read Vonnegut and can't use new culture/brain learning styles as excuses- how to reconcile the new ways students are and our teaching styles is where we need to research more so we can implement instructional practices that meet them where they are at and get them to the place we need them to be.

    An interesting post coming from Gavin Dudeney on why he felt it was time for his twitter to close -food for thought? the opposite side of the coin? Let's discuss!

    I read this post, and then looked at what he has to say about PLNs. I must confess that I can't imagine when I will have time to regularly check Twitter (much less tweet) once school starts. And his points about PLNs match mine, too. I guess I am considering new things in this class primarily as vehicles to promote student learning and engage students.

    Jan - I had doubts as whether to add Dudeney's post here - but I decided to do so -to see other people's views-and especially those who have been using twitter for some time now (I am a new user myself). I have the same concerns as you and I happen to respect Gavin's work a lot (I am a little bit biased) as I have had the opportunity to meet him online in courses, read his books etc.

    I will check out his books now that you mention that he has some. He seems to be quite commonsensical, which appeals to me. thanks.

  • You’ll find students learn more, are more motivated and their writing improves faster when they’re allowed to write posts.  And the best way to get them started is by writing posts on the class blog.

    I originally signed on to this blog (and downloaded the e-book) because I was so interested in teaching with technology. But Matt is a foreign-language teacher, and I'm really intrigued by the way he organizes his curriculum around Performance-Based Learning and questioning.

      I was expecting something totally different when I clicked on this article. Teaching at a community college, I thought it might be about online behavior on a discussion board assignment or something online and collaborative. Even though it was about something else, I found this tool to be fascinating and thought if I taught in the K-12 system, this would be a great tool.

  • ClassCharts uses html 5 so should run in any modern browser whether it’s a laptop, iPad or Android tablet, so the teacher can use an tablet during the class to instantly update behaviours.
  • This is quite a complex tool and creates a lot of data, so I think it’s going to take a bit of getting used to for teachers and perhaps a bit of training too.

      This is a script you can install on a google doc. I could spend time explaining it, but the demo is very clear.  It will save you a ton of time! We use Google Forms with flubaroo to do common formative assessments in our department as well as a homework assignment to get data for flexible groupings the next day.  If you have not used Google Forms before I would strongly recommend playing around with them, and then learn how to Flubaroo to save yourself some time!

      From what I understand, Google Docs exist within one's Google Drive in the same manner as your files and applications exist within your hard drive. I think Google is trying to make a distinction between a larger body and the parts within it. For example, I have an icon on my laptop's menu bar that takes me to my Google Drive. In my Google Drive are "My Drive" which contains my files and folders. I can also access my email, files that are shared with me which I have no ownership of and cannot move to "My Drive" folders, I can also access any Google Groups from my Google Drive, but they are not part of my Google Docs. That's my take on it.

      Thanks for that analogy. That helps a bit, but my head still swims with the amount of vocabulary bounced around in this tech world. I am trying to understand my OneDrive, SharePoint and things like that, with work having switched to Office 365. I am not liking it so far, because of the learning curve.

  • This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.

      This is protocol in my classroom-they may as well learn it right the first time rather than the hard way later. When using Google images: go all the way to the cog wheel pull down on the right side of the toolbar; 2) go down to Advance Search; 3) inside Advanced Image Search, all the way at the bottom is a pulldown for usage rights, select "free to use or share" or, if you need to alter the image in anyway "fee to use share or modify." 
  • That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.

      Just yesterday I was watching a webinar from a national organization, and on one of the PowerPoint pages I saw a picture of one of my district's students with his PE teacher. I was shocked and wondered how it came to be in this webinar. I can only guess that there was a newpaper article with this picture in the local paper, and that put it out there on the web, and it was found and inserted into this PowerPoint. I also thought it was pretty cool - one of ours in something like that. It was crazy just happening upon it like I did though.

      This is a biggie! I know of some teachers who upload all their homework handouts in .pdf format. I can think of only one who might have asked permission to do so. But, why bother buying that textbook's workbook if I can download it from another district for free. I can certainly see publishers having issue with that.
