Spelling literacy research instruction pedagogy

shared by Steve Ransom on 01 Dec 13 - No Cached

  • Are all children learning to love words from their very first years at school?
  • Are they being fascinated by stories about where words come from and what those stories tell us about the spelling of those words?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • re they being excited by breaking the code, figuring how words are making their meanings and thrilled to find that what they’ve learned about one word helps them solve another word?

  • "We already have a guitar. I can learn on my own and with my friends." Me: "It seems like you should get lessons for the basics." Her: "Mom, that's what the Internet is for." It turns out she's already been practicing with the help of YouTube tutorials.
  • because of the abundance of knowledge and social connections
  • balancing the competitive pressures of college-readiness, the need for unstructured learning and socializing, and the role of the Internet in all of that
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Trends indicate that families with the means to do so are investing more and more in enrichment activities to give their kids a leg up
  • padding resumes for college
  • an arms race in achievement
  • the Internet has been a lifeline for self-directed learning and connection to peers.
  • parents more often than not have a negative view of the role of the Internet in learning, but young people almost always have a positive one
  • Young people are desperate for learning that is relevant and part of the fabric of their social lives, where they are making choices about how, when, and what to learn, without it all being mapped for them in advance
  • Learning on the Internet is about posting a burning question on a forum like Quora or Stack Exchange, searching for a how to video on YouTube or Vimeo, or browsing a site like Instructables, Skillshare, and Mentormob for a new project to pick up.
  • but I'm also delighted that she finds the time to cultivate interests in a self-directed way that is about contributing to her community of peers

    This is a great piece that captures much of the essence of how many (teens are the focus, but not exclusive to the points made) are seeing learning today... really important to understand.

shared by Steve Ransom on 20 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Speaking these words can be a way to commiserate with colleagues, or they can become “in jokes” among friends.  These exchanges can be OK when we are face-to-face with others, as we have body language and voice inflections to help us understand the meaning and context behind the statements.  Online is a different situation, however.
  • Suddenly my Twitter stream was a teacher’s lounge.
  • if we have an online presence, we must be responsible in what we say or write.  This seems simple, doesn’t it?  Nevertheless, we forget that we are not in the company of friends when we say or write the things we do.  Almost anyone can read our words, and they might misunderstand our intent.
