Are You Behind? - 3 views

  • Second, do you have the spaces?  If your vision does include learning online, you have to have school-supported digital spaces.  It can be anything really, but you have to have something.  And I’m not talking about individual teachers putting something together, because that doesn’t make sense for kids or from an organizational standpoint in terms of support and dedicated growth and development in concert with the vision.  I also don’t believe this should be something left to students to self-organize around-if its part of the vision, the school has to be intentional about it and provide a common landscape for all.

      Great paragraph. It's not going to happen accidentally or without critical mass. It's also not just about providing the tool but about providing a vision and supporting that vision. 
  •  
    David Jakes does a great job of laying out a vision of what should be expected for classroom interactions through a digital platform but still isn't. I love his thinking about it not being a happy website with mission/vision but a place to collaborate and inform.  The 21st century is now not tomorrow!

    Problem-based approaches to learning have a long history of advocating experience-based education. Psychological research and theory suggests that by having students learn through the experience of solving problems, they can learn both content and thinking strategies. Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method in which students learn through facilitated problem solving. In PBL, student learning centers on a complex problem that does not have a single correct answer. Students work in ollaborative groups to identify what they need to learn in order to solve a problem. They engage in self-directed learning (SDL) and then apply their new knowledge to the problem and reflect on what they learned and the effectiveness of the strategies employed. The teacher acts to facilitate the learning process rather than to provide knowledge. The goals of PBL include helping students develop 1) flexible knowledge, 2) effective problem-solving skills, 3) SDL skills, 4) effective collaboration skills, and 5) intrinsic motivation. This article discusses the nature of learning in PBL and examines the empirical evidence supporting it. There is considerable research on the first 3 goals of PBL but little on the last 2. Moreover, minimal research has been conducted outside medical and gifted education. Understanding how these goals are achieved with less skilled learners is an important part of a research agenda for PBL. The evidence suggests that PBL is an instructional approach that offers the potential to help students develop flexible understanding and lifelong learning skills.

    Diigo does it again. A great tool for students to use to create a presentation of material or for a teacher to use to create a reading list/discussion board for students. Already one of the best web2.0 sites on the internet, Diigo makes sharing/discussion/synthesis of material easy and interesting.

    We expect our students to use higher level thinking, but too often we don't explain to them what that means. Showing them how easy it is to use critical thinking skills will assist them in using those skills throughout the year.
