Why media tablets will transform education | Accenture Outlook - 48 views

-
This is if the books are brand new. School systems don't spend that much money per student per year. The books get reused from year to year.

Content can be revised and updated continuously. Textbooks no longer need to be text but can be any media. And a tablet can administer tests, enable students to engage in collaborative projects or support remote education for rural children. Since a tablet is a full-fledged computer, it can also support specialized applications that cater to children with learning disabilities or different learning styles. The possibilities are endless
-
If all this were to come true, the biggest losers will be dogs—they’ll no longer have any homework to eat.

-
“Horrible, horrible, horrible implementation from every program I visited,” he said. “All of them were about the stuff, with a total lack of vision.” His research convinced him not to move forward with one-to-one computing.
-
“Yes. Unfortunately, too often I concur.”
-
Unless we break out of this limited vision that one-to-one computing is about the device, we are doomed to waste our resources.

Learnist | Share what you know - 2 views
-
Everybody knows enough about some topic - be it English, science, yoga or bourbon - to teach other people about it. And every topic is covered by content scattered around the Web. The idea behind a new site called Learnist is to give everybody a spot to teach through curation. The site, which is also available as an app for iPhone and iPad, features user-created lessons that bring together Web pages, videos, Google Books e-books and other items on a specific topic. At the moment, only a relatively small group of people approved by the site - including some teachers - can create these "learnings," but anyone can check them out.

How Blogging and Tweeting Reinvigorated my Passion for Teaching | Canadian Education As... - 84 views
-
The worst thing that anyone can do is to get stuck in a rut. This is especially true ifyou are a teacher! This blog is the beginning of a challenge that I have made for myself (and for any other teachers): try something new!
-
Change is necessary. Clean out your binders and see your classroom with a new set of eyes. Who knows what we’ve been missing.
-
There was no way to anticipate the extent to which blogging and tweeting would change my understanding of education, but these simple steps allowed me to enhance my practice and provide a richer learning environment for my students. Reaching beyond our classroom walls has meant so much for our school, and we’ve been rewarded with learning experiences worth remembering.

nstead, we might consider constant reflection guided by important questions as a new way to learn in the presence of information abundance.

Fascinating book on a new pedagogy for the 21st century teacher and learner. Will we continue to ask students to work in an environment of scarcity, both in resources, but also in the learning process, which is locked up by testing and standards? Check it out!

I'm not a big fan of this book, but that is not why I'm commenting. Isn't it still under copyright?

Flipping Blooms Taxonomy. Great article. Every time we ask students to use a new structure to talk about themselves and then let them figure out why the sentence order is what it is, we arepracticing this. We see greater results as they move to higher levels of production making more errors but experimenting and learning from their mistakes in production.

So with all of this confusion, many ask why it is hard for people to accept change.
-
The problem with this is that people are more comfortable with what they know and have experienced, as opposed to what “could be”. The other issue here is that if we cannot clearly articulate examples of powerful learning, why would anyone buy “change” in the first place?
-
It is clear to the world that something just isn’t working with institutional education and most people say that we need to CHANGE institutional education. But to the educators of the world, I am here today to say that I disagree. You don’t need to change anything, you simply need to understand that the world is changing, and if you don’t change with it, the world will decide that it doesn’t need you anymore.
