    This article is from the journal of U of T's School of Information Science. Based on research in public libraries, it speaks about the importance of promoting play, discovery, and collegiality in makerspaces. It offers some encouragement re: letting students mess around, after at least a little guidance!

  • that's the essence of "real" teaching—the transformative kind that sends a young person forward on a journey they understand to be their own
  • It's about a teacher intending to see beauty—what is invisible to the eye—in the child who passes by.
  • It's about knowing that establishing ties must start the learning journey
  • John Hattie (2009) points to positive teacher-student relationships as one of the most potent catalysts for student achievement.
  • ne of the great satisfactions of teaching is that those of us who teach are the primary beneficiaries of the process. We are re-made each year

    This page gives an overview of a framework for 21st century skills and learning. I like how it values all of the academic disciplines and gives links to different sites that focus on broader interdisciplinary themes, innovation skills, information, media, and technology skills, and life and career skills.

  • explains some of the individual differences that influence problem solving
  • psychologist David Jonassen
  • Given the reality of all these differences, how can I even dream of a functional classroom in which every student is learning at their own learning edge?

  • I believe that inquiry helps tremendously in reaching learners on different levels at the same time
  • work at their own pace
  • students know pretty well how they compare to other students and that they don’t like having to fit in and be the same all the time
  • Ok, by now I know that it is impossible to find one particular task that will be just at the right level for all my students.
  • Another way of bringing in differentiation into your class is by letting students work on two different topics simultaneously. The students choose when they are ready to switch tasks for a while and then come back later to pick up the first topic again.
  • This is kind of funny because whole class discussions actually help make knowledge more equal which makes the classroom experience less differentiated. So while this is not really a tool to help students at their individual learning edges, it is a tool to bring out the differences and spread ideas and questions around the class.

      This is a puzzle - how do we democratize input? This is why I like the idea of Twitter in the classroom - can be a way for reluctant speakers to particpate.
  • Assessment and differentiation is a tricky subject,

    I am not a math teacher, but I really like the ideas here. I am working at getting a handle on differentiation and inquiry-based learning for my subjects and classes (Our classes typically have 5-10 students with assessments and IEPs)..
