Sputnik Moment: 21st-Century Rocket Boys & Girls | edtechdigest.com - 2 views

  • What we are missing in the 21st century is the view that technology is not the gadgets and the hardware and the software. It is not the atoms or the photons or the electrons pulsing through the Internet or our home appliances. Rather, the technology is us. According to Dr. Kane, “Technology is human creativity and artistic expression… it is knowledge in action… knowledge with a purpose… it is the art in science and engineering…” According to this view, “technology is the space between our minds and our hands.” It is our imagination, our ability to tell stories, our drive to exist and make the world a better place. For Dr. Kane, “…this space is where the speed of light generation operates.”

Evernote for iPad | Evernote Corporation - 4 views

    Watch the video at the bottom. Evernote also syncs with your online account to work on your pc or smartphone. Great productivity tool if it fits your world. Free plenty of ideas for teaching & Learning. T&L

    Still don't think the iPad is good for Teaching & Learning (T&L)... these tools can be implemented into our world seamlessly, and more importantly, more intuitively. BTW - I'm going to use T&L anymore instead of education... too stuffy for me. ;)

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.

      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?

DIALOGUE DRAFT -- "My Brother, My Keeper" - 3 views

  • Dr. Townshend: What the hell's this all about? Dr. Kelso: Nothing! I was, uh, just looking over your files and, um...well...your osteoporotic patients aren't on Bisphosphonate; your diabetics aren't on ACE inhibitors. Doug, a lot of your treatments are pretty out of date. Dr. Townshend: Come on, Bob, I'm--guys like us, we're set in our ways. Dr. Kelso: Well, this is not an age thing, Doug. Hell, these days if you've been out of med school five years, half of what you learned is obsolete. Why do you think I spend every other weekend at a seminar in some two-star hotel ballroom that still stinks of last night's prom vomit? I do it because I have to keep up. Dr. Townshend: Also, it gives you two days away from the missus, right? [laughs] Once again, I am sorry I was the one who introduced you in the first place! Dr. Kelso's expressions remains serious. Dr. Townshend: Look, Bob, I just...I don't have the energy for all that stuff. Dr. Kelso: Well...then we got a problem.

    This is the part of the dialog thati's important. Down the, "Then we got a problem."

At Waldorf School in Silicon Valley, Technology Can Wait - NYTimes.com - 6 views

  •  
    " Schools nationwide have rushed to supply their classrooms with computers, and many policy makers say it is foolish to do otherwise. But the contrarian point of view can be found at the epicenter of the tech economy, where some parents and educators have a message: computers and schools don't mix. "
