    I find that I cry just about every day as I prepare to send my son to college in 8 weeks. This helped me meet my quota for today.

    I teach the same students for many years in a row and grow to know them well. I wish I had read this a few weeks ago to share with my graduating seniors.

    Why wait? I hear myself giving the advice, "pick your battles," almost everyday. I rephrase number 27 to , "how's that working for you now?" And number 21, is the advice I give myself.

    Great advice. And I agree with kgrill, why wait for some of it! #12. Leave things better than you found them? I hear my self saying that several times a month.

    These thirty things are inspirational. Thank you.

    I wish I had these earlier today when I had to say goodbye to a student heading back to public high school! I actually agree that we shouldn't wait - I am thinking of putting some of them up on a bulletin board for inspiration! Thanks for sharing, Carole!

How I Help All My Students to Be Good at Math - The Atlantic - 1 views

      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.

      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. 
    • Carole Redline
      Carole Redline on 21 Sep 14
       
      Here is the most important part....I could not disagree me. 
  • 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.’”
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Send students reminders in-class/after-class through ClassParrot and Remind 101.
  • Have a silent discussion via Todaysmeet.com.
  • Write on-the-go during a field trip or active lesson on campus with Tripline.
  • 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.

    Way cool and can be an app,too.  Fun way to make teams. Be sure and choose options. I think next time I will use birds of prey. I don't like the idea of numbers or letters as names of teams.

Using Pre-Needs Assessment for Effective PD | Edutopia - 2 views

shared by Carole Redline on 26 Jan 15 - No Cached
  • Before fine-tuning content for a particular session, I start out with a Google Form and a list of suggested topics (e.g. Google for Research, Nearpod, Kahoot, Student Projects with iPad, Workflow with eBackpack) that I perceive to be campus or department needs. Based on this initial feedback, I begin crafting pre-needs assessments for particular courses. Even within a workshop focused on a specific tool or technology, you will find both novice and advanced users, so that's where the pre-needs assessments really pack a punch.

      Did you know that both Canvas and Blackboard have free access to creating several online classes. I am teaching in one of those free options. I teach a different class in the free Blackboard. I like these tools better than any other I have tried but I respect that others have different ideas.
  • 2. Ensure that both students and teachers have internet access at home. If not, try to work with parents and budgets to provide special tools or dispensations for disadvantaged kids. If nothing can be done, abandon the e-learning program.

      Please also check to see which internet access comes from smart phones. You will be amazed at how many families have access to at least one smart phone that can do what a computer can do. Don't assume this is not so, ask.

    I find this article very affirming. It's hard to know when to respond to students especially when they have been taught to be teacher dependent. But I firmly believe students need more experience in collaboration and problem solving without teacher intervention. In the beginning this is very hard on both the instructor and the participants. Tell me how? Work together to figure it out? Make choices and decide which of these resources is right for you. This is NOT the way our instructors have been taught but it is time they experience it.

      This article brought to mind the concept of "users" verses "creators" in the digital world.  I have recently been exposed to messages that seem to imply that "using" is valued less than "creating".
