      We write more now -- on paper and digitally -- because we can. 
  • Humans “write” because it is our distinctive character

      I'm thinking of shared purpose here in connected learning - working in teams to create, revise, and share in  collaboration that ripples onward to others to remix. Is this notion of, "what will someone else do with this" an incentive to quantity? quality? community?
  • Let writing go to edge of consciousness.

      The edge - this could take time though, with writers struggling to think they can write. But finding the one gem in the work is important to build the confidence needed to become so is important.
  • write until we find this for ourselves, how can we expect it in our classroom?

      At least, do this for the kids. Those students who love to write may teach the teacher. :)
  • Can’t find time?  No easy solution here, but try buying yourself out

      I laughed. I do this. Someone else takes care of the yard. :) Now I love gardening, but don't garden. My garden is of words blossoming into ideas and images and inspiration.

  • At the heart of the Maker Party campaign, Webmaker tools/resources, and Hive Learning Network is the Web Literacy Map which outlines what we think are the important skills and competencies needed to be literate on the web
  • Hive Learning Network, a project of Mozilla, is comprised of organizations (libraries, museums, schools and non-profit start-ups) and individuals (educators, designers,  community catalysts and makers). Together, they create opportunities for youth to gain digital and analog skills to learn within and beyond the confines of traditional classroom experiences, design innovative practices and tools that provide opportunities for greater impact, and contribute to their own professional development within an active community of practice.

  • Building on the Web
  • Open Educational Resources (OER)
  • The Web is a massive, shifting repository of human knowledge. We should empower learners to engage this ecosystem and make the Web they want to use. Mozilla developed the Web Literacy Map to help you do just that.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • The Design Process
  • authentic assessments
  • experiential learning
  • In "Design Challenges" learners select a problem, conduct research with users, prototype a solution, give and receive feedback, and iterate to produce a final project.
  • Feedback is the glue of the Web
  • Constructive Criticism
  • Feedback is the basis for open source culture
  • Giving constructive criticism (and receiving it) is something that takes practice. We adhere to “if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all” because we don't believe that our opinions are necessary. We forget that criticism doesn't have to lead to complete redesign or reformulation.
  • delivering feedback
  • We also tend to spend time focusing on our own things, rather than looking at other people's ideas and thinking about making them better.
  • We ask for feedback and expect to get some, but we rarely give our feedback freely – we wait until our specific feedback is requested or until the work directly affects our own. We all know how fantastic it is to get good, constructive feedback on something we're working on. What if we all took more time to give feedback like that to others? What would happen?
  • the Web is, by its nature, collaborative
  • the power of the open Web comes from our ability to share. In the learning experiences we design, when we create spaces to share our work with each other, we model the way the Web works. These complex social spaces encourage freedom of expression and honesty.
  • Collaboration builds empathy

Penn & Teller's Teller on How to Be an Effective Teacher - The Atlantic - 0 views

  • The first job of a teacher is to make the student fall in love with the subject.

  • the teacher has a duty to engage, to create romance that can transform apathy into interest, and, if a teacher does her job well, a sort of transference of enthusiasm from teacher to student takes place.
  • “If you don’t have both astonishment and content, you have either a technical exercise or you have a lecture.”
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Teller’s educational philosophy is rooted in the philosopher A.N. Whitehead’s “rhythm of education,” a theory that asserts learning happens in three stages: romance, precision, and generalization.
  • Romance, argued Teller, precedes all else.
  • What I have, however, is delight. I get excited about things. That is at the root of what you want out of a teacher; a delight in what the subject is, in the operation. That’s what affects students.”
  • It’s easy to disregard the entertainment of your students as pandering, but it’s not, Teller stressed, citing Frances Ferguson’s The Idea of a Theater: The Art of Drama in Changing Perspective. “In the art that lasts, there’s always a balance: purpose that is action, passion that is feelings, and perception that is intellectual content. In Shakespeare, for example, there is always a level that is just action, showbiz. There is always a level that's strongly passionate, and there’s always a level that’s got intellectual content.”
  • Learning, like magic, should make people uncomfortable, because neither are passive acts. Elaborating on the analogy, he continued, “Magic doesn’t wash over you like a gentle, reassuring lullaby. In magic, what you see comes into conflict with what you know, and that discomfort creates a kind of energy and a spark that is extremely exciting. That level of participation that magic brings from you by making you uncomfortable is a very good thing.”
  • When I go outside at night and look up at the stars, the feeling that I get is not comfort. The feeling that I get is a kind of delicious discomfort at knowing that there is so much out there that I do not understand and the joy in recognizing that there is enormous mystery, which is not a comfortable thing. This, I think, is the principal gift of education.
