This is excellent homework! This comment on Jason's blog post is fascinating, and it is so appropriate to MYP ATL skills. "The fact that I can meet with a needs-based group and say to them after a mini-lesson, "Find an app or something that will help you learn, practice, and transfer this skill or process," highlights this. Sometimes that is my homework. We speed share it in the morning, and everyone in the group uses it for independent practice and homework the next night. I'll make sure that this page on my blog gets priority before the end of our break. This is some of what our phenomenal Tech Director is helping us to find: http://elearning.sis.org.cn .

I never learned anything I was tested on. After I was forced to memorize and regurgitate onto the paper, the uninteresting, disconnected facts, stayed on the test.
-
I don’t blame myself though. I did as I was told and I excelled in the game of school.
-
The reality for me is that I would have been much better off without the teachers in my life weighing me down and wasting my time.

I would bet that the education community's use of technology follows a "Two C's 10-90" rule: TEN percent to create, and NINETY percent to control. I mean 'control' broadly, everything from keeping the school's master schedule, monitoring attendance and grades, tracking teacher performance, and imparting the knowledge we believe kids need to have.

When my 2nd grader needs to know the meaning of a word, I tell him to use my iPhone to ask Siri, an artificial intelligence program that's always happy to look it up for him. Siri, in turn, uses the free online program Wolfram Alpha, one of the most powerful data analysis tools in the world. If you enter into the Siri (or Wolfram Alpha) search box, by text or voice, "arable land in world divided by world population," in less than a second the phone or computer will find the relevant data; do the calculations; provide the answer—in square miles, acres, square feet, and hectares per person—and cite you its sources.

The only way to do almost all science today is with technology. No human can handle or analyze the volumes of data we now have and need. Ditto for the social sciences. The research study of the past focusing on 10 graduate students has been replaced by sample sizes of millions online around the world. Being perfect at language translation, spelling, and grammar is becoming less important for humans as machines begin to understand context and can access almost every translation ever done. Those who laugh at the mistakes that machines make today will no longer be laughing in a few short years.

I've watched this before - very good. Today I read Larry Ferlazzo's posting on the effects of praise on motivation http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2013/01/20/video-carol-dweck-on-the-effect-of-praise-on-mindsets/. Stresses the big differences and impact that praising intelligence vs. effort have on what people are willing to do and how they feel about themselves.
Blogs vs. Term Papers - NYTimes.com - 0 views

blog writing has become a basic requirement in everything from M.B.A. to literature courses. On its face, who could disagree with the transformation? Why not replace a staid writing exercise with a medium that gives the writer the immediacy of an audience, a feeling of relevancy, instant feedback from classmates or readers, and a practical connection to contemporary communications? Pointedly, why punish with a paper when a blog is, relatively, fun?
-
Because, say defenders of rigorous writing, the brief, sometimes personally expressive blog post fails sorely to teach key aspects of thinking and writing. They argue that the old format was less about how Sherman got to the sea and more about how the writer organized the points, fashioned an argument, showed grasp of substance and proof of its origin. Its rigidity wasn’t punishment but pedagogy.
