    Wonderful GoogleMap related to the explorers of the New World!  Related to SOL 3.3 The student will study the exploration of the Americas by a) describing the accomplishments of Christopher Columbus, Juan Ponce de León, Jacques Cartier, and Christopher Newport; b) identifying the reasons for exploring, the information gained, the results of the travels, and the impact of the travels on American Indians.

Virtual Schools: From Rivalry to Partnership | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Most students still push through a seven- or eight-period day, 45-day quarter and 180-day school year. Unfortunately, mandates, physical plant limitations, local political pressures and institutional traditions have limited even the best intentions of rethinking the traditional school calendar and schedule. This is why the flexibility found in virtual schooling environments (1) should be so attractive to educators, students and parents alike. Not bound by the constraints of physical space or out-of-date school calendars, virtual schools can provide opportunities for students to take courses at a time and place that meets their needs
  • oo often, independent virtual schools might be no more than diploma mills openly competing against local schools.
  • Instead of competing, virtual schools need to partner with local schools and allow individual students to create what Staker and Horn (2) call a "self blend model."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • schools need to investigate how virtual options may provide multiple pathways for their students to earn credits, recover learning, explore an interest or follow a passion, all while taking control of their education through a variety of modalities
  • We've reached a point where multiple pathways are, should and can be available to any student, anywhere at any time
  • t's time for schools to unite and break the barriers of time, place and tradition so that each student can be empowered to develop his or her own learning path, a path which can include a blended mix of brick and mortar, virtual, experiential and personal learning options.

  • The public perceives education as of the government. The public is demanding better education options. The public is asking for real progress in the way of education reform. And yet, the government is now sitting on the sidelines waiting till next year.
  • To those lawmakers who claim to be education advocates and committed to real change in education -- take education off your lipservice list and put it on your to-do list. Stop using education and education investment as a bargaining chip to get your other deals done.
  • However, without a concerted effort to "place bets" on the ideas that have the potential to transform education, how can we ever expect to "hit it big" when it comes to education technology?

  • Edhtena is a technology platform that's focused on schools. And yet, schools sometimes don't have the right technology upgrades to support technology like Edthena.  Sure, the computers are powerful enough. Sure, the internet bandwidth is there. But the software -- mainly the browser -- that users have may not deliver the best experience.  This is why we're so excited by Microsoft's announcement to automatically update Internet Explorer for all users. LOTS of schools are still running LOTS of computers with Windows XP with old versions of IE. Now, teachers won't have to worry about what version software they have. And IT departments won't have to worry about capacity to update everyone over time.  Everybody wins here. Thank you, Microsoft.

    I'm biased because this blog is from my childhood best friend's older brother (whew), but he has a really cool start-up company that is focused on educational technology and, further, on using technology to provide teachers feedback. Adam is a TFA alum, originally from Virginia Beach, who is passionate about teaching and helping teachers improve their craft. Worth checking out!
