  • The things that make a good teacher are difficult—if not impossible—to teach, he thinks.

      I have found this to be very true. While all educators should try to learn and improve, there are some personality characteristics that can't be learned if you are going to stand in front of a group and try to get them to care about something!
  • But he's totally in tune with where they are and the struggle it takes to understand physics concepts. He is right there by their side, walking them through the forest of physics."

      One of the amazing things about both of the teachers mentioned in this article is the fact that they both CONNECT with their students.  Regardless of the methods, the use or lack there of when it comes to technology, or the subject, each teacher is there with their student, being available, giving their all, and being open enough to make contact with the faces that are staring back at them.  Regardless of the course, my best professors/teachers are those with whom I connected.

    This is a good piece in the Chronicle of Higher Ed. MOOCs have definitely generated considerable buzz especially in higher ed, with both detractors and enthusiastic proponents. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. Because MOOCs are still in their very early stages, there's very little in the way of empirical research and so it seems to me there's still a lot of work to be done in sorting out the hype from reality. Also interesting in this piece is the discussion of "scam baiting" which I haven't heard too much about. Have you had any experience with this?

      These questions are important to consider. We as Americans, and more specifically as educators, must consider solutions to these difficult changes happening in the realm of education. Teachers and experts are not scarce anymore; how will our education system in the US react to this vastly changing world. 
  • I can’t imagine closing my door and having to generate all of these ideas on my own.

      This is a great quote. It's the perfect demonstration of the value of social connectivity/learning networks...sharing ideas, developing concepts, and solving problems. It's still possible (and sometimes easy) to live in a vacuum even if we are virtually connected, but operating with thin walls and an open door is what creates value from those connections.

      Collaboration is a powerful tool that propels us to be more than what we can be alone, challenges us to grow past our current levels, and assists us in developing resources to expand our own tools.
  • I’ve provided access, direction, and time, but little else. I have not had to make elaborate plans with teachers, nor have I had to coordinate efforts, parceling out contacts and juggling numbers. It is all about the kids. The kids have made contacts. They have begun to find voices that are meaningful to them, and voices they are interested in hearing more from.

      This is my definition of the new teacher. Not an expert, but a facilitator. Not a dictator, but a connector. Teachers with this philosophy will help their students thrive in an intricate and vastly connected world.

  • And here are the two game-changing conditions that make that statement hard to deny: right now, if we have access, we now have two billion potential teachers and, soon, the sum of human knowledge at our fingertips.

      I feel like in the two years since this post was written that these conditions are already here!

      This is absolutely right, but with unlimited access has come unlimited distraction. Speaking personally, I find it harder and harder to focus because my curiosity takes over and I start looking up things I want to know. Within 5 minutes, I'm so far removed from my original intention!

      While I've been teaching summer school here in low-income schools in Houston, TX, I have realized the importance of making real world connections to the students. With large networks being utilized through technology in the classroom, students will be more likely to recognize the importance of learning a concept or topic.

      I think that we need to be more open to change. The idea that learning is taking place beyond the walls of our classroom and that students will take ownership of their own learning connections is vital to the shift in how teachers should view themselves in the 21st century learning classroom.
  • And more and more they reflect the real world of learning that our students will graduate into, whether we help them get there or not.

      It's a very good point to emphasize that interactive digital learning is in many ways what lifelong learning looks like this days, so we need to start preparing students for that process.
  • in a connected world, it’s more about how much knowledge you can access.

      Sometimes, the difficult part is understanding where to find the information.  This is a huge reason why information literacy should be considered, taught, and expanded in today's curriculum.

      I totally agree with this. If learners don't find meaningful moments during learning, effective learning will not be likely to happen.

      Prior to the Week 10 assignment on Open Education and Badges, I really had very little knowledge about the research and discussions that was going on with stakeholders on badge systems.  Reading Goligoski's article "Motivating the Learner: Mozilla's Open Badges Program" education technology  reviewer Audrey Watters explained that the badges were created as a response to a sense that "institutions and organizations traditionally responsible for accreditation no longer match the realities of what learning looks like today" - this gap if it continues will become more serious  therefore I can now see the need and push for a digital badge system that is based on a "trusted, secure and portable certification process."  Reference http://ojs.stanford.edu/ojs/index.php/a2k/article/view/381/207
