Clark-Kozma: Debate Reemerges - 0 views

shared by Michael Stevenson on 07 Sep 08 - Cached
  • Assigning too much influence to media can lead to the design/ development of sloppy, ineffective instructional materials that are accepted by technologists and users simply because they utilize CBI, interactive video, or other 'high-status' delivery media. Assigning too little influence to media, on the other hand, may discourage reflective thinking by designers about which media can best convey the instructional strategies needed to achieve instructional objectives (p. 6).

      Ross (1994) provides a really good middle ground position between Clark and Kozma.

    One of the most powerful, misunderstood and under-utilized tools for teaching 21st century skills, is the Creative Commons. Besides providing access to hundreds of thousands of media works that can be used to augment the creative process, the Creative Commons offers a legitimate way for students to license their own creative works, be they audio, video, text or hybrid products.

      A link to an interview with a teacher who has used service learning would be good here.
  • thoughtfully organized service experiences
  • structured time to reflect
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • clear connections to academic curriculum
  • a great deal of time and learning takes place before the service even happens

  • Essential Elements of Service Learning
    • David Warlick
      David Warlick on 03 Jan 11
  • Practitioners that utilize service-learning understand that the process of identifying community needs, giving students an active role in designing, implementing, and evaluating the project and encouraging students to reflect on their learning allows young people to develop new understandings and applications beyond what they would gain from typical classroom instruction.
  • Cleaning up a river is service.Sitting in a science classroom, looking at water samples under a microscope is learning.Students taking samples from local water sources, analyzing the samples, documenting the results and presenting scientific findings to a local pollution control agency is service-learning.

      It might be interesting to stop here, and as reader to write down, from this brief explanation, what they think are the essential elements of "service-learning."

    This incredible website lets you pick all of the software you want and automatically says NO to toolbars and "junk" you don't want on the computer. I'm using it to make sure I have everything on the new computers I'm putting in at school. It is missing a few virtual world programs but overall it saves TONS of time! It even does updates! Works for Linux and PC.

  •  I believe it is ideal to invite the student to participate in understanding and creating the goals of their learning.
  • We should allow them to be an active part of the conversation and thinking around the what, how and why of their learning.
  • By always dictating the outcomes, we turn our leaning into checklist to be completed, passively learning what is expected of us and never reaching beyond the boundaries of the rubrics or standards.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • should be utilized as sign posts or maps of where learning can and might go. I personally believe that rubrics and standards can be as limiting as they are useful.
