  •  
    "We've entered Facebook's maze of privacy options and came out on the other side bruised, battered, but with 10 essential settings in our hands. Disregard them at your own peril!" Accurate as of Feb 2011

    Share this post with your preservice student teachers (and current teachers on FB as well). The maze of privacy settings can be a challenge to negotiate. This post helps.

  • the day is growing nearer when quality higher education confronts the technological disruptions that have already upended the music and book industries, humbled enterprises from Kodak to the Postal Service (not to mention the newspaper business), and helped destabilize despots across the Middle East.

Think You're An Auditory Or Visual Learner? Scientists Say It's Unlikely : Shots - Heal... - 119 views

    Fascinating view on learning styles that goes against much of what is being suggested to instructors and students.  Suggests variety rather than different learning styles is what makes multi-modal teaching successful.  Curious to see if there is more out there on this viewpoint.
  •  
    I've never really bought into the one student-one style approach, especially when I hear junk like "I'm a visual learner, so I really don't write many of my essays" or "I'm not assigning writing to him; he processes kinesthetically." To me, MI has always been a prompt to include different things across a unit.

shared by anonymous on 30 Mar 11 - No Cached
  •  
    "Fakebook" allows teachers and students to create imaginary profile pages for study purposes. Looks pretty realistic. Would be a suitable substitute for Facebook without the concerns associated with the real site.

    I have been wanting something just like this! It's sooooooooo authentic looking and functioning... I LOVE IT!!!!

    Cool idea for using with authors/characters.

Game-Based Learning Units for the Everyday Teacher BY ANDREW MILLER 9/26/11| The Commit... - 157 views

  • One common myth about GBL is that it requires high-level technology. Another is that it is simply using games, whether physical or on the web, in the classroom. These ideas are not entirely true. Yes, GBL can be more rockstar when using technology, but it is not a requirement.

Leaders Don't Hide Behind Data - 6 views

    • Martin Leicht
       
      Staying busy is not the same as being productive.
  • A/B testing is a trap because it insulates us from A/J testing. A/B testing is an asymptotic stroll toward a local maximum.
  • And busyness is a trap because it allows us to believe that we’ve actually created value.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • What you’re not doing is inspiring your team to level up. What you’re not doing is inventing a new game. Instead, you’re playing someone else’s game.
    • Martin Leicht
       
      Creating a mechanics, dynamics, & aesthetics (game) comes with risk(s). And one can understand why we stick to creating value and management.
  • There are two traps
  • First, it’s easier than ever to do A/B testing
  • Second, it’s easier to stay busy.
  • Leadership is the art of doing things you’re not sure of, and doing them with enrollment instead of authority.
    • Martin Leicht
       
      Leadership = uncertainty + enrolment.
  • On the other hand, leadership is voluntary. Those who follow you must be enrolled in your journey and persuaded to follow (and contribute to) your vision.
  • Digital charisma doesn’t feel like management, and it requires alternative channels. Human channels. Channels that involve actually showing up, not hiding behind a system.
  • how can you possibly listen back?

      How do we listen back?
  • We can learn quite a bit from how the modern cultural leaders of Instagram and Facebook use their platform, despite so many of their habits we’d prefer to avoid.
    • Martin Leicht
       
      Through FB and IG modern cultural leaders affect change because they have "chosen" to do so. Not because anyone game them the authority. They chose to tell a different story.
