  • The survey found that student who felt supported — that their professors cared about them as individuals, that professors made them want to learn, that they had a mentor — were three times more likely to thrive as those who did not feel supported. Only 14 percent of college graduates answered that all three of those qualities were present in their college experience.
  • Even fewer college graduates found their higher education experience to be relevant to life and work after college.
  • Feeling connected and mentored makes a difference, just as understanding how learning is relevant and applicable makes students feel prepared for life after college.

  • 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.

      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.
