State's graduation exam passes latest test - 4 views

  • The regulation calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other English, math, science and social studies subjects being phased in through 2016-17.
  • School districts would be required to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use other options, including validated local assessments or Advanced Placement exams instead. Districts also could set up a project for students who failed exams.
  • Opponents of the exams told the regulatory commission that the testing program would cost too much to administer and be unfair to otherwise good students who perform poorly on standardized tests.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • We understand the system now,
  • Some have said that the exams would discourage students who have a hard time taking tests and would prompt them to drop out.
    • anonymous
       
      What do you think of that concern?
  •  
    This is HUGE. There will eventually be ten end-of-course exams, each counting for one third of a student's final grade. Some will argue that this means that there will be no time for "21st Century T&L" concerns. Others will argue that those concerns are exactly what are needed to ensure true mastery of the subject. Where do YOU fall in that debate?

100 Extremely Useful Search Engines for Science - Online Courses - 7 views

  •  
    Students of the past spent most of their academic time in the library, pouring over encyclopedias, and sifting through pages of data. It's easy to get lost in a text-heavy reference book, amidst numbers and figures; this is especially true for science majors, whose art and skill revolves around specific numbers and very precise information. Fortunately for today's scientist, much of the information that was once found only inside the walls of a library is now available online. These awesome science search engines will help you find what exactly what you're looking for, as well as remind you how much fun research can really be.

Our great new comments feature - 6 views

  •  
    "Comments let you apply notes, questions, or observations to a passage on a wiki page - it's kind of like slapping a Post-it note onto the wiki page. Because they're linked to a specific part of the page, comments show you exactly which words they're about (unlike with an email or discussion post). And because the comments can be revealed or collapsed, they let you look at a page as either as an appreciative audience or a critical editor, depending on your needs."

Computers in schools: money well-spent, Concordia University study says - 2 views

  • Where technology does have a positive impact is when it actively engages students, when it's used as a communication tool, when it's used for things like simulations or games that enable students to actively manipulate the environment."
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      Exactly!
    • anonymous
       
      Then this would seem to support the use of ipads, since that's basically what you do when you "work with" apps.
  • Grumberg said she can't see how the school can meet the needs of today's children if it doesn't teach them in the way they need to learn - "and the way they learn is through the manipulation of these technologies."

Drape's Takes: Barriers That Hold Some Back - 4 views

  • Barriers That Hold Some Back
  • I think that if we're really going to progress in transforming traditional institutions of public education into systems capable of enabling technology-facilitated student-centered learning, then we need to gain a better understanding of exactly what's been holding us back all along.

Connecticut District Tosses Algebra Textbooks and Goes Online - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “With all that is expected of teachers and students today, building a mathematics curriculum that has the depth to meet the needs of all classrooms is a very hard thing to do
    • Anne Van Meter
       
      But, if a teacher or a school is creating the online material, then it doesn't need to be good for "all classrooms" just the ones you are creating it for! And the teacher(s) can alter it every year if it's available and editable online.
  • “They’ve sidestepped the math wars because they have a rational curriculum, well-taught, and they get great results, so how can you argue with that?
    • Anne Van Meter
       
      Exactly, how can you argue with a program that helps students achieve at high levels?

  • But the word reform is particularly slippery and tendentious.
  • The clarity of language be damned: They come to bury a given institution rather than to improve it, but they describe their mission as “reform.”
  • It’s a very clever gambit, you have to admit. Either you’re in favor of privatization or else you are inexplicably satisfied with mediocrity.
  • there’s plenty of room for dissatisfaction with the current state of our schools. An awful lot is wrong with them: the way conformity is valued over curiosity and enforced with rewards and punishments, the way children are compelled to compete against one another, the way curriculum so often privileges skills over meaning, the way students are prevented from designing their own learning, the way instruction and assessment are increasingly standardized, the way different avenues of study are rarely integrated, the way educators are systematically deskilled .
  • To that extent, even if privatization worked exactly the way it was supposed to, we shouldn’t expect any of the defects I’ve just listed to be corrected.
  • Making schools resemble businesses often results in a kind of pedagogy that’s not merely conservative but reactionary, turning back the clock on the few changes that have managed to infiltrate and improve classrooms.
  • ut an attack on schooling as we know it is generally grounded in politics rather than pedagogy, and is most energetically advanced by those who despise not just public schools but all public institutions.

More Schools Embrace the iPad as a Learning Tool - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • teach Kafka in multimedia, history through “Jeopardy”-like games and math with step-by-step animation of complex problems.
    • anonymous
       
      Finally! We couldn't do that before. And we all KNOW the higher order thinking that goges on in Jeopardy games. Ugh!
  • The iPads cost $750 apiece
    • anonymous
       
      $750 EACH? They couldn't get a laptop for that? One that could do all that this ipad can do AND MORE??
  • Educators, for instance, are still divided over whether initiatives to give every student a laptop have made a difference academically.
    • anonymous
       
      And the reason is that we buy toys and only allow our students to do what they always did before, yet we expect different results. Notice what they say these kids will use these ipads for. Revolutionary? Hardly. Sound education? Not even close.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • “IPads are marvelous tools to engage kids, but then the novelty wears off and you get into hard-core issues of teaching and learning.”
    • anonymous
       
      Exactly! When they see that they can't add apps or use it as a personal learning deice (locked down, it's still learning that's direted by the teacher and not by the student) the novelty will wear off VERY quickly.
  • $56,250 for the initial 75
    • anonymous
       
      How many regular laptops could they have bought for that amount? Machines that can do all the ipad can do AND MORE!
  • 32-gigabyte, with case and stylus
    • anonymous
       
      They need 32 gig? I'll be willing to be they don't fill HALF of that. NO music. NO photos. Just apps? This decision was made by someone who thought more is better. Oh, and.. stylus? HUH?
  • play math games, study world maps and read “Winnie the Pooh.”
    • anonymous
       
      Did you hear me screaming on this one? OH BOY! They can read Winnie the Pooh! And finally study world maps. And THEN what?
  • “I think this could very well be the biggest thing to hit school technology since the overhead projector,
    • anonymous
       
      And we know how much the overhead projector raises the level of Bloom's and fosters student-centered environments. It allows the TEACHERS to do things. Not the students.

      Economic recession? WHAT economic recession? Oh my. I hope that folks revisit these 'investments' in two years. There will be NO improvement and they will again blame the technology instead of the fact that it was the WRONG technology!
  • “If there isn’t an app that does something I need, there will be sooner or later,”
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, but students won't be able to install it.
