  • "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

pbl projects critique

shared by Steve Ransom on 09 Jun 13 - No Cached
  • In short, we seem to have students who believe that projects are for assessment purposes only.
  • he gave the project the highest praise a teenager can give anything: he stayed up until 2:00 AM working on it.
  • if learning isn't accompanied by the psychological stress of an exam, then they're somehow "let off the hook" and can devalue the content.

    How sad that we've coopted the "project" in such ways. We can change this.

NCTE Position Statement on Machine Scoring - 0 views

ncte writing computer scoring grading machine automated

shared by Steve Ransom on 21 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • Conclusions that computers can score as well as humans are the result of humans being trained to score like the computers (for example, being told not to make judgments on the accuracy of information). 
  • Computer scoring systems can be "gamed" because they are poor at working with human language, further weakening the validity of their assessments and separating students not on the basis of writing ability but on whether they know and can use machine-tricking strategies.
