    The teacher could have 30 students, all doing the same thing at the same time on their iPads, but this doesn't make sense either. The students have a powerful information tool in their hands, and as The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics require students to think critically and problem solve, there is no way that a teacher can get students to become independent learners in sync.

  • The very people who embody the problem — teachers — are also the ones charged with solving it.
  • the apprenticeship of observation
  • The research showed that Japanese students initiated the method for solving a problem in 40 percent of the lessons; Americans initiated 9 percent of the time. Similarly, 96 percent of American students’ work fell into the category of “practice,” while Japanese students spent only 41 percent of their time practicing.

  • I think that the U.S. school system would benefit from a dual system in high school where young people who are interested in doing or making things with their hands, for instance, could have high quality vocational programs or schools that would equip them with the skills they need to find jobs or employ themselves.
  • First, curriculum in vocational schools was adjusted closer to the standards of academic high school.
  • Second, a significant proportion of vocational studies was shifted to real work places where students are able to learn in practice the knowledge and skills they need in their future jobs.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Third, vocational and academic high schools were required to design and provide instruction that enabled students more flexibility and choice.
  • One scenario is that schools will race after technology and align core instructional operations to rely on digital and other technological solutions.
  • A second scenario views schools merely as places for facilitation of study and checking of achievement.
  • A third scenario would be to elevate schools as places for social learning and developmental skills. Cooperative learning, problem solving and cultivating the habits of mind would be at the heart of school life.
  • First, I am not saying that Finland has the best education system in the world and that others should imitate what we have done.
  • Second, I make it very clear that the Finnish school system cannot be transferred anywhere else in the world.
  • There are some concrete lessons that American educators and policymakers could learn from Finland.
  • First, a universal standard for financing schools, so that resources are channeled to schools according to real needs
  • Second, a universal standard for time allocation in schools, allowing pupils to have a proper recess between classes and a balanced curriculum among academic learning, the arts and physical education.
  • Third, a universal standard for teacher preparation that follows standards in other top professions.

  • Technological change is not additive; it is ecological, which means, it changes everything.
  • That means rethinking classrooms to focus on individual passions, inquiry, creation, sharing, patient problem solving, and innovation
  • ut we must be willing to consider that in a world full of access to knowledge and information, it may be more important to develop students who can take advantage of that knowledge when they need it than to develop students who memorize a slice of information that schools offer in case they might need it someday.

    "Video game designer Jane McGonigal argues that games are not a waste of time. In fact, she argues, "we need to look at what games are doing for gamers, the skills that we're developing, the relationships that we're forming, the heroic qualities that we get to practice every time we play, like resilience, like perseverance, and grit, and determination, like having epic ambitions and the ability to work with other players, sometimes thousands of other players at the same time."
