      Gosh, this is truly overwhelming with so many ideas. Just reading through this makes my head swim. The challenge of the day is to find just one idea that might hold promise. I bet like potato chips you can't eat just one.

      Here is the most important part....I could not disagree me. 
  • I believe the potential of smartphones, supported by a strong classroom management system, can be summed up with what I call “The Five C’s.” Collaborate, communicate, create and coordinate/curate. Of the forty-four ideas below regarding smartphones, twelve can be accomplished with a simple cellphone. Take a look below at this enormous potential.

  • I could not disagree more with the above quotation. Although there is no doubt the very same scenarios mentioned in the above article are occurring in various classrooms around the globe, I now encourage all students to bring their cellphones or smartphones to class. Just a few years prior, my colleagues and I were struggling mightily with how to integrate the crafty handheld tools.
  • The potential damage stemming from heightened cell phone use during class casts a pall on the entire educational system, on the school atmosphere, on the educational achievements of the class, on the pupil’s own learning experience and on the teacher’s burnout having to cope with discipline problems in class.’”
  • Write on-the-go during a field trip or active lesson on campus with Tripline.
  • Send students reminders in-class/after-class through ClassParrot and Remind 101.
  • Have a silent discussion via Todaysmeet.com.
  • Establish a Twitter class account to share class assignments and reminders. If students do not want a Twitter account, make it easy. Embed the Twitter feed on your teacher page.
  • Create a mini-presentation, skit, or formal response to a prompt and e-mail the video to teacher’s Posterous blog spot.
  • Use the stopwatch and timer apps to manage class time.

    Yes, Educreations for iPad and Screen-Cast-O-matic for PC. Each school system promotes one platform or another and rejects research creation in the other. That is too bad. What you use depends on what you have. Marketing is the enemy.

  • equal prior math achievement to determine how a fixed mindset (the belief that intellectual abilities are fixed) compared to a growth mindset (the belief that intelligence can be developed) impacted math achievement.
  • The results of the study showed that the treatment group -- the students who embraced the belief that intellectual abilities can be cultivated and developed through application and instruction -- had marked improvement in grades and study habits compared to the control group. By the end of the fall term, the math grades had jumped apart and continued to diverge over the next two years
  • Dweck’s mindset theory goes hand in hand with the Common Core's Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) in conveying a growth mindset in the classroom. The key difference between fixed mindset and growth mindset teachers is in how they view struggling students. The fixed mindset teacher perceives these students as not sufficiently bright, talented or smart in the subject, whereas the growth mindset teacher sees struggling students as a challenge -- as learners who need guidance and feedback on how to improve. Growth mindset teachers see the challenge as an opportunity for students to learn when their efforts and mistakes are highly valued.

    Growth mindset teachers supports the success of ALL students. Facilitating a risk free, growth mindset community develops students' problem solving abilities.

      Students need to know that everyone can do math. There are not "math people" or "non-math people."
  • I tell all students alike that math requires perseverance and a willingness to take risks and make mistakes
  • Math requires effort, patience and time
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • You have to believe that eventually, you will be able to understand. You have to sort through what you understand and what you don’t. You have to then formulate a good question and be courageous enough to ask the teacher to answer the question in front of a classroom, admitting that you don’t understand something in front of your peers
  •  those who think of themselves “math people” can suffer from overconfidence
  • Our educational goal should be to help all students learn as much and as deeply as they possibly can, and to instill in them a love of learning.
  • people perform poorly on difficult cognitive tasks when there are extrinsic rewards for the successful accomplishment of those tasks. 
  • Standardized testing disregards the effort students have exerted and they deemphasize the processes of math
  • Focusing on the process of math helps both low achieving and high achieving students learn true mathematical logic and not get discouraged because they can’t reach a right answer, or bored because reaching the right answer is too easy. Many students know how to get the right answers on standardized tests but don’t know how to think about math.
  •  Our job as role models is to give our students the freedom to make their own choices, including lucrative choices in fields that require math.  In my education courses, we were always told that modeling is more powerful than teaching.  Adults are modeling this self-defeatist attitude.
  • Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years. If students learn confidence, flexibility and that they’re good at learning, they’ll be ready for anything.

    Oh my goodness. This is exactly the encouragement we need. Each shared comment could be for our class. I particularly like your idea...."Education needs to be about personal growth and teaching students to enjoy and revel in their knowledge, not on grooming students and sorting them for a job market that may be entirely different in 10 years. If students learn confidence, flexibility and that they're good at learning, they'll be ready for anything." My father use to say, "Now we are cooking with gas!"
