The Most Important Lesson Schools Can Teach Kids About Reading: It's Fun - Jeffrey Wilhelm & Michael Smith - The Atlantic - 42 views

  • pleasure is not incidental to reading—it’s essential
  • experience the pleasure of entering a story world
  • The pleasure of play is what readers experience when they become lost in a book
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • not privilege intellectual pleasures, the characteristic province of school
  • You can sort of help yourself change in that way, and when you really admire a character in a book who’s really brave and stuff, you kind of can idolize them and become more like them. So it’s not really learning about yourself, it’s learning about what you could be.
  • teachers of reading and literature need to make pleasure more central to our practice. 
  • Our data also convinced us of the importance of choice
  • Students should have regular opportunities to behave the way adult readers do and choose their own reading.
  •  
    Suggests that when we over-emphasize the intellectual pleasures of reading, we kill the needed joy of reading in many students.

My Weekly Reflections: My Weekly Reflections: My Portfolio - 19 views

  • I appreciated this perspective because I feel that one of my challenges in learning a topic is staying focused.  Focus doesn't just entail a conscious selection of important vs irrelevant information/ideas/experiences, but also the ability to persevere on a task when it becomes boring
    • David Masuda
       
      This is interesting. When learning is "fun", focus is easy. So when is learning NOT fun? I would say it is when you do it for an intrinsic motivator - a test, for example.
  • an important part of learning is sticking with a topic long enough to let it's nuances manifest.
  • my banjo

  • Is it important to face "drudgery" in lifelong learning.

Crumbles - 90 views

  •  
    Lifehacker: Sure, you can record a video or send email to say what's on your mind. That's boring. A new web site lets cartoon and movie characters speak on your behalf. The site takes clips from TV and movies and creates a short video with a different clip for each word. If they don't have a clip for the word you pick, Crumbles uses a computerized voice. It's a little silly, but pretty fun. . .
