  • In a world of online distractions, the person who can maintain a long obedience toward a single goal, and who can filter out what is irrelevant to that goal, will obviously have enormous worth.
  • The giant Internet celebrities didn’t so much come up with ideas, they came up with systems in which other people could express ideas: Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia,

  • One of the oddities of collaboration is that tightly knit teams are not the most creative. Loosely bonded teams are, teams without a few domineering presences, teams that allow people to think alone before they share results with the group.
  • he voracious lust for understanding, the enthusiasm for work, the ability to grasp the gist, the empathetic sensitivity to what will attract attention and linger in the mind.
  • Unable to compete when it comes to calculation, the best workers will come with heart in hand

  • The Innovations class is deliberately open-ended, which means students have to propose their own project ideas and the standards they plan to meet.
  • "The mentor can't be their dad or their dad's buddy," Wettrick says. "It has to be an expert in an arena, and it has to be somebody who makes a commitment to help them."
  • Students benefit from honest critique along with positive attention for their projects, Wettrick says. "They don't need to hear, 'Good job!' They're better off when an expert tells them, 'That's not bad, but have you considered this, or you might want to look at that.'
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Wettrick encourages teachers to make their good ideas public so that others in education can learn from their examples. "It's not bragging," he says. "It's sharing best practices."
  • The Buck Institute for Education has produced a feedback form (6) to help audience members think through their role.

  • “If you wouldn’t say it, do it, or watch it with me in the room, it’s not okay.”
  • Sit down with your kids to create an “acceptable use” policy for your own home—they’re much more likely to follow the rules if they’ve had a say in writing them
  • Even if you enable restrictions, however, this isn’t a “set it and forget it” situation.

      Might be a bit overkill here, but keep the password from the kids might be a good idea.  Still, they can operate off of 3G or 4G on their phones.
  • Do they know, for example, how to ensure that only their friends can see what they’ve posted on Facebook? Do they understand that tweets live on in cyberspace forever?
  • One popular idea is to change the Wi-Fi password for your home network daily, and only give it to your kids when they’ve earned it via whatever rules you’ve determined.
  • ar too many parents don’t bother to check on what their kids are doing online—and the results can be disastrous.
  • Don’t let your teens sleep with their phones or computers
  • keeping desktop computers out of bedrooms.
  • The key to this is that Mom and Dad also have to follow the rules, because kids will always do as you do, not as you say. Try establishing a daily device-free time of just 10 or 15 minutes at the breakfast or dinner table, and see if you feel it has a positive impact on your family.

shared by Jill Bergeron on 10 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • We live in a culture that does not always encourage or support expressions of loss and, frankly, expects people "to get over" grief fairly quickly
  • For example, in language arts, students can be told that they will be writing about someone they remember and they can focus on what they miss about that person or how they remember that person in their lives now
  • In the visual and performing arts, a similar assignment to make the focus of students' products someone they miss or remember.
