  • "Allowing students to decide which grade they wish to strive for, which activities they will engage in, and how they will demonstrate that they have satisfactorily completed their studies permits a teacher to seize upon powerful motivating forces within individual students ... This notion shifts responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student, but at the same time offers an incentive by insuring success under known conditions. Students are challenged without being threatened." (Frymier, 1965)

    "A learning contract is a collaboratively written agreement between a student and a faculty member that delineates what is to be learned, how it will be learned, and how that learning will be evaluated. There are many different ways to design a learning contract, incorporating as many or as few elements as you wish. Despite this flexibility, there is a general format which the majority of learning contracts follow: Identify what content will be learned Specify the methods and strategies that will be used to learn the content Specify resources to be used in order to learn the content Specify the type of evidence that will be used to demonstrate learning Specify how the evidence will be validated, and by whom"

  • this new literacy, beyond text and image, is one of information navigation
  • Today's students get on the web and link, lurk, and watch how other people are doing things, then try it themselves.
  • the web becomes not only an informational and social resource but also a learning medium where understandings are socially constructed and shared. In that medium, learning becomes a part of action and knowledge creation.

  • The Web helps build a rich fabric that combines the small efforts of the many with the large efforts of the few. By enriching the diversity of available information and expertise, it enables the culture and sensibilities of a region to evolve. It increases the intellectual density of cross-linkages. It allows anyone to lurk and learn

  • “Immediacy is a perception of physical or psychological closeness” (Richmond, 2002, p. 65). It
  • If students like you, you are probably using immediacy behaviors, as immediacy in part determines power and liking (affect) of students for their teachers.
  • Teacher immediacy correlates with affective learning outcomes (attitudes, beliefs and values toward learning) and (slightly) with cognitive learning outcomes (recognition, recall, understanding content).

  • “we” or “us”
  • Richmond’s (2002) advice is to “dress formally for a week or two until credibility is established. Then dress more casually to project the image that one is open to student-teacher interaction” (p. 71).

  • Yes, we hardly master a technological tool that another version of it or another one is already in the market!! oufffff. Can you keep up with the pace??? You have to be both a marathon runner and sprinter at the same time What should  teachers do then to be able to follow the pace. The teachers who are themselves geeks are finding it so tiring, let alone those teachers who are reluctant to adapt to the new IT era.  How prepared are our educators? This is a legitimate question. A post by Andrew Marcinek describes this situation and suggests that teachers (and students) should be allowed to adapt to new tech at their own pace:
  • echnology now is everywhere. We don’t know where it will take us as teachers, but also as citizens of the world. It will surely help us build connections and provide new information even more faster; it will save us a lot of time searching for what we want. We cannot and should not miss the benefits. But we must also bear in mind that human beings are born to engage in real face-to-face warm interactions. Without this very characteristic which is exclusively human nothing can be gained!!!
