MyWeb4Ed: Diigo- A regular educators look at why Diigo is a teacher's friend - 55 views
-
I sat today using Diigo to bookmark, annotate, highlight, capture pages and pictures, and do just about anything I needed to do effortlessly. Ya'll, this is straight from this educator's heart: Diigo is amazing! Now look, my thinking about tech tools is that they have to serve everyone: teachers --administrators, students, parents -- basically all stakeholders to be truly of value. I'm into the reality of teaching which means if it is not going to improve the outcome for students academically by supporting their learning, most teachers just don't have the time to deal with it. But, I'd like to think I'm a realist and if there's a tool that makes a teacher's life easier, then preparing for lessons, classes, professional developments and, yes, our other life is easier, and that translates to a happier educator who has more time to work on supporting those students learning

Transformation in Education - 12 views
-
"What Is Transformational In Your Educational Vision? Part of the challenge in educational reform is that not everyone defines learning or education the same way. Sure, we all refer to things such as literacy, college and career ready, 21st century skills, etc. However, what is the core purpose of one's education? Beyond specifics related to employment skills, literacy skills and standards mastery, I offer up this idea: Education is meant to transform one's life. In other words, education has to dramatically, or even radically, transform the person into a new, improved person that is more emotionally, socially, and intellectually ready for any challenge the world has to offer."
