Now this is not to say that the Australian paper was a forerunner worldwide; important in Australia for sure, but probably representative of the thinking in many governments and educational institutions at the time.

"We, as human beings, think that through social networks, we've somehow become more social creatures. The problem with this theory is, the more we "connect" online, the less actual human interactions we have, making us actually fairly unsocial. A new video breaks down exactly how the social aspects of human beings have evolved and transformed, showing how we've regressed from a social standpoint."

I think it actually gets harder the more times I teach it, as I constantly add more information and rarely take things away.
-
I hadn't thought of this before but I bet it's true for all educators that as we refine things we add more. I wonder if we don't also get better at organizing information and presenting it so that it's sometimes easier to learn?

No grades! For the first time in his life, he felt, he could devote his full attention to learning rather than wasting time and energy, as he put it, on meeting the expectations of his professors.

Other times, however, and before I get into the groove, I’m easily distracted. Email, facebook messages, ongoing projects such as updating my online photo portfolio tend to break my concentration and lead me on tangents which are time-consuming to return to the task at hand. Sometimes I never make it back.

I know what you mean. I sometimes have to keep asking/reminding myself what my purpose is and how important or unimportant what I'm actually doing is.

My aunt sent me the rules: no last names, girls must correspond with girls, and boys with boys; under no circumstances would the students be allowed to exchange personal email addresses.

Shaping Tech: The Medium is the Message | Aaron Paulson's COETAIL Blog - 0 views

“If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.”

What a great quote for this course, Aaron! It speaks to the tension I, too, have felt between truly knowing something and knowing where to find it.

She cites one study in which peer grading and self grading closely correlate with teacher grading.

I find with most of my students their self-assessments are within just a point or two of my own. Rarely are we out of the same descriptive band.

this approach is fraught with many hiccups.

I can appreciate this and at the same time can see that free applications like the google suite offer some potential solutions for frontrunners like you in the system.

-
Students seem less likely to engage in independent learning related to a course outside of class and spend a very limited amount of time in preparation for classes.
-
Occasionally I see the same pattern in even younger (middle school aged) students who come from the Japanese schools to international school. They can find a student centered approach quite inaccessible due to their limited skills as learners.

digital applications for each category of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating are suggested.
-
This was one of the most influential readings I took away from the COETAIL course, too. It has stuck with me and continues to be a lens I evaluate my lessons through.
-
-
the aim of the course is not to teach these digital applications
-
There is a fine balance here isn't there. On some level we want to use the best tools available for the ideas we have but on the other they can't become the focus.

this was not true--the materials handed out in class and on the wiki were different--a point they realized when they received below-passing scores the final test)

Ed Visionary - I'm wondering if based on what I've seen happen at YIS and other schools in the Kanto region and the tone of discussion at the GAFE Summit at ASIJ recently, if we aren't now finally progressing beyond this point. I'm thinking collaboration is happening more and more on line these days. We are creating together now not just passing docs around.

I found the date published at the bottom - 2005. Are we beyond this now in 2012?
