In recent years I have developed a reputation nationally and internationally in the field of education as an, '...exemplary user of Information and Communication Technologies in the modern classroom'.
The speedy evolution of technology over the past 30 years has often outpaced our ability to use it to transform teaching and learning in real and meaningful ways. Much of that time we just tried to keep up, with new technologies often simply bolted onto traditional curriculum practices. However, today, with three decades of digital experience under our belt, the time is ripe to begin instituting true change.
In middle school, science fair projects are typically still required — and, teachers lament, all too often completed by parents.
In many schools, science fairs depend on teachers who shoulder the extra work. They supervise participants and research, raise the money for medals and poster boards, and find judges — all on their own time.
Sad statement of the lack of sufficient time to really get into science that leads naturally to the display of learning... on class time, not extracurricular time. The US DOE is really not interested in deep learning at all...
Food and grocery stores definitely plays an important role in this community. There were also an unexpected amount of African art and music stores. I think diaspora communities like this have a lot of meeting and community aid establishments to help immigrants navigate the American system of living.
I honestly didn’t see too many advertisements outside of the West African diaspora context. The ads that I did see were not billboards or real advertisements. There were mostly posters or small signs showcasing the sales in each of the stores.
As a native New Yorker, who grew up in an Indian diaspora community, I felt like a lot of the sights resonated with my childhood. And to make things even more familair, I lived in Niger for a few months and did feel a certain connection to the area.
I also didn’t see that many women walking around, it was mostly men who were hanging around local hot spots. The women that I did see, were going somewhere specific and not really hanging out outside.
2011 has seen the proliferation of iPad trials in Australian schools and Universities.In most of these cased the iPad has been adopted as much for the Apps available as for its e-reading tools. Here are some sites and reports to look at.
We have math teachers doing online skill-based type of things and online quizzes,” Robinson said. Students use a site called, Glogster where they create digital posters, and upload photos and music for reports.
“At our house, there are signs, 'No Facebook from 7 to 9:30,'” Angus King said. “Part of it is supervision, he said. You don't hand the keys to your car to your teenager without rules.
Get passed it. This isn't an elementary school conversation and we don't know the context before the question was asked. Let's not forget that reporters provoke to get the sound bite.
But it's a little muddy now because Matt was rude. And we applauded.
Where were all the other educators at the Save Our Schools March? I am guilty, and feel guilty for having not attended, but really, where were we all?
No, Matt Damon isn't, and shouldn't be our poster child for education reform. You cannot fault him for representing us and using a naughty word. Instead of poo-pooing Matt, I applaud his courage to do so, to tell it like it is, and for defending our profession. I will not put him on a pedestal as if he speaks for me as one of my own, however, he did defended teachers. I appreciate that, a lot.
Don't make this more than what it is, even if you think he did it in a shitty way.
