An interesting video about people who post educational videos online. Some are teachers, some are not. It's exciting that people and students are learning through these videos, but is this the future of education? What do we as trained teachers offer that untrained video educators don't? Anything? What is going to be the role of the classroom with 4 walls in the future?

Education Week Teacher: Getting Students to Think Like Historians - 1 views

shared by Emily Wampler on 07 Oct 12 - No Cached

Just as students in a shop class use the materials, tools, strategies, and vocabulary of real-life woodworkers, students in a history class need exposure to the materials, tools, strategies, and vocabulary of historians. Such exposure is especially needed at a time when the Internet makes available to all readers a wide range of sources of varying credibility. Students must be equipped to analyze and evaluate such information.

One of the ways is to be a little tolerant. All technology breaks down. When our cars break down, we don’t immediately get back on horses. And we don’t teach horseback riding in school. When technology breaks down, we fix it and move on.

The “higher” needs, levels 5 to 7, focus on the cultural cohesion and values alignment; mutually beneficial alliances and partnerships with other schools and the local community; and a strong focus on social responsibility. The emphasis at these higher levels is on enhancing the common good of all stakeholders—students, employees, parents, the local community, and society at large. Abraham Maslow referred to these as “growth” needs. When these needs are fulfilled they do not go away. They engender deeper levels of commitment and motivation.

For better or worse, our high schools in the US have many extracurricular opportunities for students to feel that sense of culture with each other.

Focusing on performance and results should happen, but in order to take a school from “good to great”, the focus has to eventually change. Once stakeholders realize that their school is judged by more than test scores, real change can happen.
