Why I Gave Up Flipped Instruction - 6 views

  • And the flip’s gradual disappearance from our learning space hasn’t been a conscious decision: it’s simply a casualty of  our progression from a teacher-centred classroom to a student-centred one.
  • What was my role? I helped them learn to learn. I prompted them to reflect on their thinking and learning, while at the same time I shared my own journey as a learner.
  • The real power is when students take responsibility for their own learning.

  • . Instead, they learned how to learn, and they were able to find their own resources.
  • When we shifted to a student-centred classroom, my students took control of their learning, and I quit lecturing.

Everything you know about curriculum may be wrong. Really. - 7 views

  • We design backward from human knowledge, in other words, and we sequence knowledge in ways that suit the learner’s prior and current knowledge. What else could a curriculum be?
  • Well, this works fine if the present is just like the past; if ideas turn into competent action automatically; and if theory, not effects, matters most.
  • suppose today’s content knowledge is an offshoot of successful ongoing learning in a changing world – in which ‘learning’ means ‘learning to perform in the world.’

  • learning in a changing world – in which ‘learning’ means ‘
  • knowledge is the growing (and ever-changing) residue of the main activity of trying to perform well for real.
  • The point is to do new things with content, not simply know what others know
  • the point of learning is not just to know things but to be a different person
  • but I learn based on the attempts to perform and feedback from trying
  • Conventional views of curriculum and instruction have no good explanation for it.
  • What is the aim of any curriculum?
  • In games (and in life), I begin with performance challenges, not technical knowledge. I receive no upfront teaching
  • Knowledge is an indicator of educational success, not the aim. Thus, the conventional view of curriculum and the process of conventional curriculum writing must be wrong:

Technology Integration Matrix | Arizona K12 Center - 1 views

shared by anonymous on 27 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students
  • The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal directed
  • The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Within each cell of the Matrix one will find two lessons plans with a short video of the lesson. Each lesson is designed to show the integration of technology in instruction and classrooms as well as the Arizona Educational Technology Standards.

PA Institute for Instructional Coaching: October 2010 - 6 views

    "Becoming accustomed as a coach to not having your own classroom or your own students was probably challenging. I am sure, however, you quickly engaged in conversations with your colleagues about offering to demonstrate or co-teach some lessons to those teachers willing to share their students with you. Although alien at first, I'll bet it was very rewarding to work with students again and feel that great "high" that a teacher feels when the lesson worked well. "

Top News - AASA hears what's about to disrupt schools - 0 views

  • Until now, it has been very expensive to teach to students' individual needs, he said--and yet, research shows that's how students learn best. One reason online learning is attractive is because it allows for more of this customized approach to instruction than can be found in many classrooms.

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad ©? - 10/1/2008 - School Library Journal - 0 views

  • As a result, there are intellectual property laws that are so routinely ignored that they have become meaningless—and enforcing them makes librarians appear to be martinets.
  • Making free copies of copyrighted online materials and passing them out to students, downloading digital videos (such as YouTube’s) onto a local hard drive, and converting analog materials to digital formats to be used with an interactive whiteboard or slide-show software for whole group instruction are all regularly done by teachers. These uses have either no or minimal impact on a copyright holder’s profits. Overly strict enforcements of the letter of copyright laws will lead to creating scofflaws of not just students, but teachers, and make all copyright restrictions suspect.
  • Until something is proven illegal, assume it’s legal.
  •  
    Few subjects spark more disagreement and confusion than copyright.
