Standards in education are generally developed for the following reasons: Assessment, Achievement, Accountability, Focus, and Transparency. What do you think?
I'm wondering if the items that you share here are an act of self promotion, or you really believe that they add value to the group. I personally don't find them useful. They are too general and don't really apply to "mission" of this group. I don't mean to be offensive, I just have limited time to check links out.
Kathy,
You make an excellent point, thank you! I was merely trying to spark some dialogue. I didn't realize that Classroom 2.0 at Diigo was about sharing technology, particularly Web 2.0, links.
Again, thanks for pointing that out.
Best regards,

Rybicki denied hurting the student's finger, as she alleged, but said that professors have every right to shut a laptop when a student violates class rules or is rude by surfing the Web rather than using a laptop to take notes.
A Georgia jury has acquitted Frank J. Rybicki, assistant professor of mass media at Valdosta State University, of battery charges related to his shutting the laptop of a student in one of his classes in March.
Yes... even younger and younger students can start to learn 3D modeling for computational thinking

Taylor told her teacher what she did and asked if I could bring in my
Lap Top to show her. She asked if I would show the whole class as well.
Sketchup is remarkably user-friendly! Technology in the classroom is a great
tool... it motivates students, stimulates learning, and often levels the playing
field. Sketchup is a terrific example... there were gasps of delight and
exclamations of enthusiasm as Brian demonstrated just a few of the basics. We
all wondered why we had spent so much time with pencil and paper... this looked
to be a whole lot more fun and more versatile. Needless to say, every child
wanted to try it and they were all able to quickly master a few simple steps
with Brian's guidance. I think they would have gladly designed an entire city
had we given them time!"
we need to add a truly human dimension to our educational benchmarks
First, an increasing number of people have concluded that we need to add a truly human dimension to our educational benchmarks.
if a lower school subject area like hands-on science is taught in a way that students understand, they go on to high school and college and explore biology, chemistry and physics with greater enthusiasm
the new key metrics must be whether students find school interesting; whether the material challenges them; and whether they actually like school enough to continue their studies.
there are no limitations on what children can learn
children are preparing themselves to become lifelong learners when they question, analyze, compare, collaborate and listen in the classroom
teaching must be individualized and responsive to each student's talents, way of thinking and level of understanding
teachers act as coaches who model thinking, planning, risk-taking and reflection for children
Technology is transforming how we think about education today.
practice over time, plus motivation and mentoring, yields excellence and mastery
"as we contemplate 2020, I'm certain that there won't be one model, one benchmark, one standard, one curriculum, or one teacher training program that ultimately helps us reach our educational goals. But I strongly believe that a decade from now we'll be able to look back and know that we made learning more interesting for each and every child in our country"
Ideas for progress toward reforming public education, innovative uses of technology in the classroom and making school an authentic and meaningful experience.
The students who made this clip did a great job of pointing out the limitations
of non-digital media in a very funny way. It’s so true, and although I
don’t really agree with the whole “digital natives” idea in terms of their
deeper understanding of technology, I certainly agree that our kids do just
expect things to work in a certain way. And they are right… Why shouldn’t
a picture be clickable? Or a word be linkable?
This Web site is dedicated to the idea that the very nature of information is changing, practically before our eyes. It is changing in what it looks like, where we find it, what we look at to view it, what we can do with it, and how we communicate it. Her
'Embodied learning' blends lessons with student-computer interaction In an Elizabeth Forward Middle School classroom, students in an eighth-grade math class spent a recent morning getting into their lesson-literally. Standing in their socks on a 15-by-15 game board that was projected onto a foam mat on the floor, they waved wands to move brightly colored virtual balls around the space.
