    Awesome webquest on MLK, Jr. for middle school students - relates to SOL VUS.14 The student will demonstrate knowledge of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s by a) identifying the importance of the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the roles of Thurgood Marshall and Oliver Hill, and how Virginia responded; b) describing the importance of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the 1963 March on Washington, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

      I don't think Play is a magic fix for all the problems in US education, but I think it's a step in the right direction.

      Couldn't agree with this more.  Assessment and standards for Pre-K?!?  Get real, America.  Let the kids play.  
  • For more than a decade, NCLB has pushed education into mediocrity, opting for a homogenized system to pass tests. We’ve taken the play out of learning, and as a result, children have disengaged in a flawed process to the tune of over a 35% dropout rate.

  • The "children's garden" was to be a place that valued a child’s enjoyment, creative process, and intuitive investigation of materials. This is not what many kindergartens look like today. Too often they are worksheet driven in preparation for testing.
  • Today, free play to learn how to socialize, invent, and imagine is rare; instead, child's play is organized. Add in diminished recess, limited physical education, and worksheet-driven classrooms and we have a recipe for unimaginative kids who lack a passion for learning. It is no wonder that we have trouble getting kids to think creatively. If they can’t play, they can’t learn and certainly not innovate.
  • We need to promote play, passion and purpose for it and break free of fixed silos of learning. Creating innovators is not part of mainstream, conventional education that is too focused on measuring assessments through one-right answer tests.

  •             A digital citizen is one who knows what is right and wrong, exhibits intelligent technology behavior, and makes good choices when using technology.

    Awesome first sentence that could be used in an elementary school classroom in the beginning of the year to define a digital citizen.

    Right now, teachers can download Storia & five e-books for free on Scholastic's website. Many books have interactive elements with the text and I think they can all also be read to you. It also keeps a Reading Report of time spent reading, what books were reading, how many words were looked up, etc.

  • 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!
