PressThink: Looking for the Mouse in Media: Clay Shirky on Deploying the Cognitive Surp... - 0 views

  • One place it’s gone is into making certain that my daughter, Sylvie, doesn’t get marooned. I’m glad she has her own blog with her friend Julia Jarvis. (They’re both fifth graders and their site is about American Girl dolls.) She has a foothold on the producer side of the transaction, and understands the Web as an author’s medium

      This is an interesting article, but I think they are missing something. "The Current Labor Instensive System" is going to be the engine of disruption in online learning, not stand-alone, "smart", adaptive "Computer-Based Learning." Teachers and students empowered with smaller, quicker disruptive technologies (twitter, ustream, blog and wikis) will be the "disruptive" engine. It may not be in K-12 education either. The place to look is adult education online.

  • Our student bloggers and digital writers of all backgrounds are part of a journaling culture which America has not seen since the great age of diarists during the Transcendental movement, when Thoreau and Emerson recorded their daily lives for eventual public consumption.

    Wonderful article on using Web 2.0 to support writing and the teaching of history.

      Hard to find text to highlight. This site has a strong US bias, although some global issues. They take strong, important issues and have two experts present arguments and counter-arguments. The quality rather depends on the speaker - even on some where I'm undecided there are objections by one side that are just facile, ignorant grandstanding, but overall there is some good content and there is often links to evidence rather than rhetoric too.

    Like it suggests, a place where public debate is encouraged and supported - although some of the debate is low quality.

    Great resource for teaching critical reading and opposing viewpoints.

    The mission of the Concord Consortium is to foster equity and self-realization through improved education. The greatest and most underexploited opportunity for advancing this mission is through educational technologies. We know that students at all ages are capable of learning more, earlier, and at a far deeper level than is currently achieved and we have seen this kind of learning in well-designed schools that have creative teachers and use excellent, computer-based materials. Our goal is to make this the norm.

    Per David Warlick blog - "A recent report (Ready to Innovate/pdf) from The Conference Board and Americans for the Arts, in partnership with the American Association of School Administrators (AASA), reminds us that creativity, and integral part of innovation, is among the top five skills that will become more important over the next five years. Yet, according to their survey, school superintendents and American business executives differ in some significant ways in what this means."

      Explosive eruptions are very rare at classic shield volcanoes like Kilauea. It's generalized that shield volcanoes are effusive, not explosive.
  • Sulfur dioxide emissions at the volcano's summit have increased to a rate that is likely to be hazardous for areas downwind of Halema`uma`u crater

      Check out: http://volcano.wr.usgs.gov/kilaueastatus.php for April 2. Also describes a small ash cloud produced by Kilauea. Another rare shield volcano event.
  • Ben W on 03 Apr 08
     
    New activity at Kilauea doesn't match the "classic" shield volcano descriptions. Good chance to show that while humans try to categorize natural events as well as they can It doesn't always happen that way.

    Imagine a world in which cars can be assembled molecule-by-molecule, garbage can be disassembled and turned into beef steaks, and people can be operated on and healed by cell-sized robots. Sound like science fiction?

  • "Safer Children in a Digital World", requested by UK PM
  • a sudden outbreak of common sense.
  • To give you a flavour I quote: "At a public swimming pool we have gates, put up signs, have lifeguards and shallow ends, but we also teach children how to swim." Oh, so we don't drain the swimming pool of water, then?!
  • Jocelyn Chappell on 30 Mar 08
     
    This is just a flier introducing report requested by UK PM and authored by child psychologist. The report itself is quite long -- I dare say I will blog again when I have read it.
  • Jocelyn Chappell on 30 Mar 08
     
    Just blogged this: a new UK perspective on child safety online more objective than most -- a sudden outbreak of common sense even -- let us hope it prevails

      I am trying this out with our college juniors/seniors who are either looking for internships or permanent jobs. Normally, registration is restricted to oNLY .edu email addresses, BUT I might be able to get permission for K-12 educators to try it out IF they don't happen to have .edu addresses.
