    For Boss's Day, my office staff at Howe Elementary in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., gave me the book QR Codes in Education by David Hopkins. In it, Hopkins describes those ubiquitous squares we see everywhere as being "like a barcode, but [containing] more data than just a number string."

    Were teenagers by-and-large rational, computer science would be an easy sell. In what other industry is a 50-person company selling for $19 billion? What other industry gives millions in financing to early twenty-somethings with almost no job experience, armed only with programming know-how and an idea that's "like Uber, but for (fill in the blank)"?

    During one of my workshops last year in Boston, Brad Ovenell-Carter (@braddo) put his visual notetaking skills to action. I took his lovely summary drawing and used ThingLink to add layers of information and elaboration. In the future I am keen to share more about my experiences of design thinking with school leaders, teachers and other organisations in blog posts here.

    Despite what Apple and Microsoft would like for us to believe, there isn't always "an app for that." Sometimes, it takes multiple tools to complete a process, and this idea becomes abundantly clear when working with mobile devices.

Does Teaching Kids To Get 'Gritty' Help Them Get Ahead? : NPR - 1 views

  • Experts define grit as persistence, determination and resilience; it's that je ne sais quoi that drives one kid to practice trumpet or study Spanish for hours — or years — on end, while another quits after the first setback.
  • When a kid struggles to answer a question, for example, teachers resist the urge to swoop in and offer hints. Instead, they let students squirm a little through an awkward silence. The idea is to get kids comfortable with struggle so they see it as just a normal part of learning.

      This here is key. I find that science teachers are often best at this...giving kids time to "ponder" as Jeff Radloff says. The main thing is having that conversation with your class so everyone knows awkward silence is ok--maybe rebrand it as "thinking silence!"

    "High-performance collaboration requires training and the development of key personal skills. For teachers, two initial steps will help foster this process. First, reframe the conversation by using the terminology of teams rather than group work. Think of your favorite sports team and now call them a group. Feel the difference? Teams focus on accountability and commitment; they form for a purpose and operate through norms and shared expectations."

    To instruct or not to instruct has been a source of controversy in the field of applied linguistics since Krashen first introduced his comprehensible input theory in the 1980s. The debate over the utility of explicitly learned knowledge in language learning has come full circle again thanks to a new crop of digital immersion platforms, including Duolingo, Lingua.ly and Bliu Bliu.
