    A spectacular (yet-to-be-named) game for teaching formal logic!
  • Robert Ryshke on 26 Jan 12
     
    Looks like an interesting game. All the information is there so the students need to use the cards to come up with an "answer" to a problem OR construct their own problems. I like this kind of game for learning. Are you familiar with SET. Not the same, but similar idea. Bob

    Absolutely! SET rocks. Lots of possibilities with that. As long as we're posing excellent games, I think Blockus is magnificent!

Is Google Making Us Stupid? - Magazine - The Atlantic - 1 views

  • media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought.
  • what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation
  • Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet, not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. But it’s a different kind of reading, and behind it lies a different kind of thinking—perhaps even a new sense of the self. “

  • “For us, working on search is a way to work on artificial intelligence.”
  • In the quiet spaces opened up by the sustained, undistracted reading of a book, or by any other act of contemplation, for that matter, we make our own associations, draw our own inferences and analogies, foster our own ideas. Deep reading, as Maryanne Wolf argues, is indistinguishable from deep thinking.

Dear Governor: Lobby to Save a Love of Reading - SchoolBook - 0 views

www.nytimes.com/...obby-to-save-a-love-of-reading reading testing elementary standardized
shared by Chris Harrow on 22 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • By asking young students to spend time taking tests like this we are doing them a double disservice: first, by inflicting on them such mediocre literature, and second, by training them to read not for pleasure but to discover a predetermined answer to a (let’s not mince words) stupid question.
  • Literary texts, whether by A.A. Milne or Leo Tolstoy, always admit multiple interpretations — and the greater the work, the more robust the tension among these readings, and the graver the loss in trying to reduce the work to a single idea.
  • Chris Harrow on 22 Jan 12
     
    While focused on teaching reading to elementary students, the points raised here apply also to mathematics teaching ... reducing everything to a single way and a single answer is stifling, minimizing, and counterproductive.

  • “One stereotype we have not been able to break in the United States is that ‘faster is smarter,’ ”
  • “Sometimes it’s the person who is more reflective and introspective about thinking through the problem and might take a little longer to get to the answer who illustrates more understanding of the mathematics involved.”
  • students learn math best when the focus is on exploration and understanding, not just regurgitation and computation

    Since Google created its new image search, I've been really frustrated. To do an advanced search, you now have to scroll to the bottom of the page, go back to "basic search", and then choose advanced search. Typically, I look for this feature because I want Creative Commons licensed images that can be reused on either my blog or the EdTechTeacher blog. While I feel like I heard about Photo Pin before, I'm glad that I rediscovered it today - thanks to Richard Byrne at Free Technology for Teachers. This is a great resource for searching for images licensed for reuse.

    Ever get stumped by a question? Explania may have the answer. Animations range from the history of football to the inner workings of the human heart. This is definitely a good resource and could be a good model for student technology projects requiring them to demonstrate understanding of complex topics.
