"1. The teacher is choosing the technology. It's not always possible, but when you can, let the students choose, and see what happens. Not all of them will be able to. Some need help; so let other students help them. 2. The teacher is choosing the function. This doesn't mean you can't choose the function, but if you students can't control the technology the use nor its function, this can be problematic: the learning is passive from the beginning. 3. The teacher is determining the process. To an extent you have to, but don't overdo it. 4. The technology is distracting. If the technology is more magical than the project, product, collaboration, process, or content itself, try to muffle the bells and whistles. Or use them to your advantage. 5. The technology isn't necessary. You wouldn't use a ruler to teach expository writing, nor would you use a Wendell Berry essay to teach about the Water Cycle. No need for a Khan Academy account and a fully-personalized and potentially self-directed proficiency chart of mathematical concepts just to show a 3 minute video on the number line. 6. The process is too complex. Keep it simple. Fewer moving parts = greater precision. And less to go wrong. 7. Students have access to too much. What materials, models, peer groups, or related content do students actually need? See #6. 8. The teacher is the judge, jury, and executioner. Get out of the way. You're (probably) less interesting than the content, experts, and communities (if you're doing it right). 9. They artificially limiting the scale. Technology connects everything to everything. Use this to the advantage of the students! 10. They're not limiting the scale. However, giving students the keys to the universe with no framework, plan, boundaries or even vague goals is equally problematic. 11. Students access is limited to too little. The opposite of too board a scale is too little-akin to taking students to the ocean to fish but squaring of

"It seems only fitting to explore the role of questions in education by asking questions about the process of doing so. I propose that we start with the customary way of framing this topic and then proceed to questions that are deeper and potentially more subversive of traditional schooling. 1. WHICH QUESTIONS? To begin, let's consider what we might ask our students. The least interesting questions are those with straightforward factual answers. That's why a number of writers have encouraged the use of questions described variously as "true" (Wolf, 1987), "essential" (Simon, 2002), "generative" (Perkins, 1992; Perrone, 1998), "guiding" (Traver, 1998), or "fertile" (Harpaz & Lefstein, 2000). What the best of these share is that they're open-ended. Sometimes, in fact, no definitive right answer can be found at all. And even when there is one - or at least when there is reason to prefer some responses to others - the answer isn't obvious and can't be summarized in a sentence. Why is it so hard to find a cure for cancer? Do numbers ever end? Why do people lie? Why did we invade Vietnam? Grappling with meaty questions like these (which were among those generated by a class in Plainview, NY) is a real project . . . literally. A question-based approach to teaching tends to shade into learning that is problem- (Delisle, 1997) and project-based (Kilpatrick, 1918; Blumenfeld et al., 1991; Wolk, 1998). Intellectual proficiency is strengthened as students figure out how to do justice to a rich question. As they investigate and come to understand important ideas more fully, new questions arise along with better ways of asking them, and the learning spirals upwards. Guiding students through this process is not a technique that can be stapled onto our existing pedagogy, nor is it something that teachers can be trained to master during an in-service day. What's required is a continual focus on creating a classroom that is about thinking rather

Collaborators should feel free to add material to these pages, to comment on existing material, and to share links to relevant external readings and resources. It may be helpful to tag your contributions with your Twitter handle. Collaborators are asked to please respect this space as a forum for open and respectful dialogue and networking. Let's fill up the pages below with great ideas!  Share the ways you currently implement Twitter in your teaching and learning: Students in my course New Information Technologies do an "Internet Censorship" project, focused on a specific country. I ask them to follow a journalist who tweets on that country as part of their research to understand the state of Internet freedom in the country they select. -- Lora Since shortly after Twitter was launched, I've experimented with various iterations of "The Twitter Essay," an assignment that has students considering the nature of the "essay" as a medium and how they might do that work within the space of 140 characters. -- Jesse (@Jessifer) In my fully online classes, I've started using Twitter to replace the discussion forum as the central location for student interaction. -- Jesse (@Jessifer) Show Tweets that have gotten people arrested and prompt discussion on whether it is fair that anyone be arrested for any Tweet in the US, who is likely to be arrested for their Tweets, what kinds of Tweets are likely to prompt arrest, etc. Students in my First Year Seminar course "The Irish Imagination: Yeats to Bono" developed a platform for digital annotation of Irish literature. Embedded in their platform was a twitter feed of relevant individuals/groups, makin

"... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

"Our new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content. Low-tech Magazine was born in 2007 and has seen minimal changes ever since. Because a website redesign was long overdue - and because we try to practice what we preach - we decided to build a low-tech, self-hosted, and solar-powered version of Low-tech Magazine. The new blog is designed to radically reduce the energy use associated with accessing our content. Why a Low-tech Website? We were told that the Internet would "dematerialise" society and decrease energy use. Contrary to this projection, it has become a large and rapidly growing consumer of energy itself. In order to offset the negative consequences associated with high energy consumption, renewable energy has been proposed as a means to lower emissions from powering data centers. For example, Greenpeace's yearly ClickClean report ranks major Internet companies based on their use of renewable power sources."

"CoRubrics, an add-on for Google Sheets helps teachers in the assessment process. It is used to assess students (or groups of students) with a rubric designed by the teacher and also allows students to assess other students (coevaluation). CoRubrics automates the entire process. First, teachers design the rubric they want to use in Google Sheets, then they add the students' names and their email address. (These can be imported from Google Classroom). Once this is done, the add-on will: Create a Google Form with the contents of the rubric. Send the form to the students by email or simply provide the link to the teacher. Process the data once the form is filled out (by the students or by the teacher). Finally, send the results to the students (each student receives only their results) with a personalized comment. In addition, CoRubrics allows: Insert comments when answered. Allow Co-evaluation, self-assessment and teacher assessment with one link."

"Dinámica Como buenos hermanos. La realización de la dinámica de clase titulada Como buenos hermanos se realizará en un aula y se llevará a cabo por parejas. Cada una de las parejas de la clase simulará que son hermanos. Cada pareja fabricará una bola de papel y se imaginará que se trata de una naranja. En este sentido, sería bueno que el tutor que realice la actividad traiga a clase el día de la dinámica una naranja y un cuchillo. Una vez hecha la bola de papel que simula una naranja, esta se colocará en el centro de los dos alumnos/hermanos. El tutor explicará que hay que imaginarse que los alumnos son dos hermanos que se llevan un año de diferencia y que, al llegar a casa, resulta que sólo hay una naranja en la despensa y a los dos les apetece comérsela. Como la quieren los dos, el tutor dará sólo 30 para que los alumnos/hermanos decidan qué hacer con la naranja que ambos desean. Transcurridos los 30 segundos, el tutor hará las siguientes preguntas a cada pareja: ¿Quién se ha quedado sin la naranja? ¿Por qué? ¿Quién ha obtenido la naranja? ¿Por qué? ¿Qué habéis acordado durante los 30 segundos? El valor de las respuestas a la hora de identificar intereses. Una vez formuladas las preguntas, llega el momento de que cada pareja dé sus respuestas. Es importante recordar que en la realización de la dinámica, los alumnos no son alumnos, sino hermanos. Con esta premisa, las respuestas son diversas: Uno de los dos hermanos aborrece la naranja. Uno de los hermanos ha ido a comprar otra. No se la ha quedado ninguno de los dos. Se la han jugado a suertes. Normalmente, los alumnos no suelen decir que uno de ellos habría obtenido la naranja por la fuerza o haciendo ejercer su papel de hermano mayor, por ejemplo. Pero, por desgracia, en una situación real, lo normal es que uno de los dos hermanos, el más dominante, consiga la naranja por la fuerza, mediante coacción, chantaje o amenaza. Además de la cu

"¿Estoy mejorando? ¿Estoy aprendiendo? ¿Son mejores mis habilidades? Como escribía en anteriores posts, potenciar la concienciación del aprendizaje del alumnado es un aspecto que quiero mejorar en mi tarea docente, y ya nos hemos puesto manos a la obra. Digo "hemos" porque de nuevo comparto distintos proyectos colaborativos con mis compañeros de departamento virtual @llalmirall y @carleszurita, en los cuales hemos priorizado la concienciación del aprendizaje del alumnado. Es decir, que el alumnado sepa en cada momento qué y cómo está aprendiendo y cómo lo transfiere a su vida cotidiana"

"Hay dos formas de impedir pensar a un ser humano: una obligarle a trabajar sin descanso; la otra, obligarle a divertirse sin interrupción. Hace falta estar muy aburrido, es verdad, para ponerse a leer; hace falta estar aburridísimo para ponerse a pensar. ¿Será bueno? ¿Será malo? El aburrimiento es la experiencia del tiempo desnudo, de la duración pastosa en la que se nos enredan las patas, del líquido viscoso en el que flotan los árboles, las casas, la mesa, nuestra silla, nuestra taza de leche. Todos los padres conocemos la angustia de un niño aburrido; todos los que fuimos niños -antes, al menos, de los videojuegos y la televisión- sabemos de la angustia de un niño aburrido pataleando en el ámbar espeso de una tarde que no acaba de morir. No hay nada más trágico que este descubrimiento del tiempo puro, pero quizás tampoco nada más formativo. Decía el poeta Leopardi que "el tedio es la quintaesencia de la sabiduría" y el antropólogo Levi-Strauss, recientemente fallecido, aseguraba haber escrito todos sus libros "contra el tedio mortal". Uno no olvida jamás los lugares donde se ha aburrido, impresos en la memoria -con grietas y matices- como en el diario de campo de un naturalista. Uno no olvida jamás el ritmo de las cosas, la finitud de los cuerpos, la consistencia real de los cristales, si alguna vez se ha aburrido. "Amo de mi ser las horas oscuras", decía Rainer María Rilke, porque las oscuras son no sólo la medida de las claras sino la pauta narrativa de unas y de otras. El aburrimiento, sí, es el espinazo de los cuentos, el aura de los descubrimientos, el gancho de toda atención, hacia fuera y hacia dentro."
