Worldview: U.S. must compete with China in the classroom - Philly.com - 4 views

  • f we are concerned about competition from China, we should look beyond Beijing's growing military - and economic - might. Far better to focus on China's progress, and our lag, in educating our future workforce.
  • And despite the current recession, the U.S. economy is still powerful and innovative. But we are failing to produce the educated manpower we need to compete in a globalized world.

Emotion and Hope: Constructive Concepts for Complex Times - 33 views

  • Technology and the Problem of Change
  • The more powerful technology becomes, the more indispensable good teachers are.
  • In brief, research shows that schools that only restructure (change the curriculum, add new roles, reorganize) make no difference in teaching and learning. However, schools that reculture (as well as restructure) do make a difference if they (a) focus on student learning; (b) link knowledge of student learning to changes in instructional practices; and (c) work together to assess teachers and school leadership to make improvement.

  • Assessment literacy is the capacity to examine student work and student performance data and make critical sense of this information; and to develop instructional and school improvement plans to make the kinds of changes to get better results — doing all of this on a continuous basis. Technology, of course, (as in the above examples) is absolutely crucial to this entire process.
  • A third change learning is that teachers and schools are inundated with a continuous torrent of fragmented and unconnected policies, innovations and other demands.

  • Innovations in technology so far have been part of the problem not the solution
  • First, the combination of teacher learning through assisted professional development, organizational learning through the development of collaborative cultures, and program coherence are essential. No one or two of these will make an impact. Second, these changes in combination are exceedingly deep and complex to achieve.

    Amazing how this article is from 1999, goes hand-in-hand with CFF and still we question how teachers, students, and technology work together!

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 4 views

  • In the fourth slot was nothing short of the "fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment," specifically, as the authors described it, "resistance to any profound change in practice."

      Whoa! What do you think of this?
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I think it's spot on. The big change our administration is pushing for is a new lunch schedule. Although it would be better for our students, he has met resistance...from the cafeteria manager, who claims it will cost more in labor for her.
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      We always deal with this - we are one of the top high schools in the state so, why mess with excellence?
  • The authors said that as long as the thrust of education support is on maintaining the existing system's "basic elements," meaningful change will face resistance.
  • The lack of congruence between what students are learning outside of school and what they're being taught in the classroom is causing a disconnect in educational practices.

  • The existence of a wealth of online tools and communications tools is allowing teachers to "to revisit our roles as educators."

      Can't argue with this, but the question is DO they revisit their roles?
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      Good question, Jim. I get frustrated with teachers that seem to just teach day in and day out but don't explore what is changing in their content area or in the world of their students. Teachers don't have to jump on every bandwagon that comes along but they should be aware of possibilites and be carefully choosing where they are going to focus their time and teaching methods.

      This is great - as long as the bandwidth is there.
  • "The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education
  • Digital literacy will also play an increasing role in career advancement, according to the report.
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills."

      I like how this is phrased, too
  • Innovation is valued at the highest levels of business and must be embraced in schools if students are to succeed beyond their formal education
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I hear fairly frequently from students who resist technology. They have been brought up to copy notes from the teacher and spit info back, so meaningful tech integration means more work for them. I think we need to stress with them that their future may be enhanced if they have this knowledge.
  • "It has become clear that one-size-fits-all teaching methods are neither effective nor acceptable for today’s diverse students," according to the report. "Technology can and should support individual choices about access to materials and expertise, amount and type of educational content, and methods of teaching."

    Hearing loss is a common problem that can affect people as they age, but there are steps you can take to train your hearing and prevent it from disappearing over time. Regular exposure to different sounds and frequencies can help keep your ears active and healthy, so it's important to make an effort to engage in activities that stimulate your hearing. Additionally, taking care of your overall health by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding exposure to loud noises can also help protect your hearing and reduce the risk of age-related hearing loss. https://foresthillsaudiology.com/
