Disrupting Class: Student-Centric Education Is the Future | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Current Classrooms -- Teacher Centric: Standardization, which replaced personalization as public school enrollment rose in the late 1800s, still dictates the way subjects are taught
  • Future Classrooms -- Student Centric: This model utilizes the teacher as mentor, problem solver, and support person
  • Students partake in interactive learning with computers and other technology devices; teachers roam around as mentors and individual learning coaches; learning is tailored to each student's differences; students are engaged and motivated.

  • the computers have not transformed the classroom, nor has their use boosted learning as measured by test scores

      Do test scores measure what has been added or transformed?
  • How can we start down the path to transform the classroom?
  • The classroom of today doesn't even look that much different from the classroom of thirty years ago
  • An organization's natural instinct is to cram the innovation into its existing operating model to sustain what it already does
  • target those who are not being served -- people we call nonconsumers. That way, all the new approach has to do is be better than the alternative -- which is nothing at all.
  • disrupts that trajectory by offering a product or service that actually is not as good as that which companies are already selling.
  • the disruptive innovation extends its benefits to people who, for one reason or another, are unable to consume the original product
  • Instead, we must find areas of nonconsumption to deploy computer-based learning where it will be unencumbered by existing education processes.
  • For computer-based learning to bring about a disruptive transformation, it must be implemented where the alternative is no class at all.
  • online learning is gaining hold in the advanced courses that many schools are unable to offer

    http://t.co/PAo3nYtm *looks* like a powerful #infographics generator for class projects. More thinky, less clicky? Will need to test it out.

The Innovative Educator: You can never replace the teacher. Or can you? 10 ways to learn without teachers. - 0 views

  • 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.

  • Unlike Jon and my friend though, many of us learn more effectively without teachers and there are more and more ways to do just that.

    An interesting post about whether a teacher is really useful. There are issues with this argument (student motivation being one) but it likely sums up the experiences of many and prompts the need for more individualized learning.

    The cut-off marks for SNAP 2013 will be declared during the result of the exam. Each participating institute will declare their individual SNAP 2013 cut-offs.
