What makes a brilliant teacher? - 0 views

  •  
    While watching a brilliant teacher in action, you too may have wondered: "What is it that makes them excellent?" Do we, as an educational community actually realise what makes a true teacher?

Information is Beautiful Awards: Shortlist #2 - 2 views

  •  
    Be sure to follow the 3 links in the 4th paragraph. These are interesting displays of information. I haven't looked carefully at all of the graphs or their accuracies/biases, but many of these do draw you in to what they're trying to communicate--the point of data charts after all. What a refreshing break from staid bar charts.

Seth's Blog: The new lazy journalism - 1 views

  • The hard part of professional journalism going forward is writing about what hasn't been written about, directing attention where it hasn't been, and saying something new.
  •  
    The great challenge for journalists is also the challenge for educators. We do need to look for the new ways to learn and share and reach each of our students. We cannot afford to teach the same old stuff in the same old way and expect that to be sufficient for our new students in this new time. Thanks to Bo A. for the lead to this article.

Asking good questions, is the practice relevant - 1 views

  •  
    While this research is interesting and may have something to say to all educators, I can't imagine teaching without the art of "asking good questions." Good questions ignite critical thinking on the part of students.

10 Children's Books About Math | Delightful Children's Books - 0 views

  • The theme here is fun math books. Thus, if a book says something like “this is a division sign,” you will not find the book on this list. These books get kids thinking about numbers and problem solving in neat ways without realizing that they are learning math.

  • Do we structure school in such a way that we truly promote and achieve that intricate balance between: 1) wanting to know and to understand and 2) keeping perspective that we have to be wrong quite a bit in order to gain deep knowledge and understanding?

The Problem With Lectures : Uncertain Principles - 1 views

  • What's this have to do with lectures and my students' complaints? Well, far too often, lectures and recitation sessions are just like the conversations Steve and I had with Paul. When somebody else is presenting a detailed explanation of how they solve some problem, it's very easy to nod along and say "Yes, yes, of course, that's the thing to do." You leave the room perfectly convinced that you've understood everything, but when you try to apply what you think you know by explaining it to someone else, you find that you didn't really understand a thing.
  • That's the problem with good explanations: they're incredibly seductive, convincing you that you understand things that you don't understand at all.
