How a Radical New Teaching Method Could Unleash a Generation of Geniuses | Wired Busine... - 6 views

  • Decentralized systems have proven to be more productive and agile than rigid, top-down ones
  • And yet the dominant model of public education is still fundamentally rooted in the industrial revolution that spawned it, when workplaces valued punctuality, regularity, attention, and silence above all else.
  • We don’t openly profess those values nowadays, but our educational system—which routinely tests kids on their ability to recall information and demonstrate mastery of a narrow set of skills—doubles down on the view that students are material to be processed, programmed, and quality-tested. School administrators prepare curriculum standards and “pacing guides” that tell teachers what to teach each day.

Bans Stifle Social Media's Potential - 3/2/2009 - NSTA Reports-Lynn Petrinjak - 0 views

  •  
    ames Gates, a recently retired computer science teacher, thinks simple ignorance lies behind many school districts' decisions to block access to social media sites. (...) he notes most school districts in his area of south central Pennsylvania block all blogs. (...). Other administrators may point to the potential for inappropriate contact between educators and students. "Some teachers can take 50 kids over to Europe for 10 days, but they can't [communicate with students through social networks]. It drives me crazy."
