      pretty interesting infographic on teachers today - will we really have to spend 2,000 to 3,000 dollars to be a teacher of the year? 
  • smsanders on 16 Sep 12
     
    I can believe it, espeically since the schools often only give you $100 or so to spend on things for the whole year. I know my CT used about 3/4 of that buying construction paper alone.

    that's crazy! amazing how congress has no problem scraping up a few extra billion dollars for a few new fighter aircraft, but can't seem to manage to help fund public education....

    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.

      This is hard to swallow; seems very pessimistic about human nature.
  • It makes far better sense to reshape ourselves to fit a finite planet than to attempt to reshape the planet to fit our infinite wants.
  • What can be said truthfully is that some knowledge is increasing while other kinds of knowledge are being lost.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.
  • But capitalism has also failed because it produces too much, shares too little, also at too high a cost to our children and grandchildren.
  • First, all education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded we teach students that they are part of or apart from the natural world.
  • The goal of education is not mastery of subject matter, but of one’s person.

      Wow.  Love this quote, and agree whole-heartedly.
  • knowledge carries with it the responsibility to see that it is well used in the world.
  • Each of these tragedies were possible because of knowledge created for which no one was ultimately responsible. T
  • we cannot say that we know something until we understand the effects of this knowledge on real people and their communities.
  • In this instance what was taught in the business schools and economics departments did not include the value of good communities or the human costs of a narrow destructive economic rationality that valued efficiency and economic abstractions above people and community.
  • What is desperately needed are faculty and administrators who provide role models of integrity, care, thoughtfulness, and institutions that are capable of embodying ideals wholly and completely in all of their operations.
  • Process is important for learning.
  • My point is simply that education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom.
  • he modern drive to dominate nature.
  • Ignorance is not a solvable problem, but rather an inescapable part of the human condition. The advance of knowledge always carries with it the advance of some form of ignorance.

    This article was written 20 years ago, but still holds interesting and relevant information about the purpose of education.

Digital Literacy Includes Learning to Unplug - NYTimes.com - 1 views

shared by Stephanie McGuire on 05 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • The new digital divide isn’t between children who have access to computers and devices and those who do not. It’s between kids whose parents are saying “turn that thing off” and those whose parents don’t limit their access — because they don’t know how, or because they’re not available to do it.
  • Instead of closing the achievement gap,” said the author of the Kaiser study, “they’re widening the time-wasting gap.”
  • The F.C.C. is considering creating a “digital literacy corps” to teach productive uses of the computer and Internet to students, parents and job seekers

    A problem lies also in the time wasted on technology. Education needs to include WHEN to use technology for learning purposes.

    "A study published in 2010 by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children and teenagers whose parents do not have a college degree spent 90 minutes more per day exposed to media than children from higher socioeconomic families"... why is this? Parents busy working? Lack of resources (e.g. books)? Home environment (e.g. no yard to play in outside)?
  • Stephanie McGuire on 06 Sep 12
     
    Thank you for sharing the original article, very interesting and well written! What a difference in time wasted per day. I would agree with your ideas of why that might be. So I certainly think a digital literacy core could be a helpful and useful investment! I also think education for parents is just as important as students to learn to use the Internet to learn new information and be creative.
