  • In the 1990s, the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association established national standards for English language arts learners that anticipated the more sophisticated literacy skills and abilities required for full participation in a global, 21st century community. The selected standards, listed in the appendix, served as a clarion call for changes underway today in literacy education.

Weblogg-ed » Personal Learning Networks (An Excerpt) - 0 views

  • But, what happens when knowledge and teachers aren’t scarce? What happens when it becomes exceedingly easy to people and content around the things you want to learn when you want to learn them? What happens when in the next decade or so, almost everyone gains access to these profoundly different learning spaces, filled with teachers and content outside the walls through the devices they carry in their pockets? What happens when we don’t need schools to manage the delivery of content any more, when we can get it on our own, anytime we need it, from anywhere we’re connected, from anyone who might be connected with us?

ASCD Express 6.11 - A Futuristic Vision for 21st Century Education - 2 views

    "# We need to participate in face-to-face learning and build deep relationships with other people who we trust and with whom we can take learning risks and share and demonstrate what we know and care about. # We need to learn through global communities of inquiry. These are communities we find or create for ourselves that are populated by others who share our commitment to work and learn together over an extended period of time, mostly in virtual space. These diverse communities expand our understanding of both commonalities and differences. They are places where we test our ideas and challenge ourselves and others to question, reflect, and grow. # We need to build a personal learning network (PLN). A PLN is a resource for do-it-yourself learning, a revolving and evolving virtual web of not only human experts but also objects and resources that are all accessed through the power of web-based networking tools and mobile technologies."

Robert Siciliano: Managing a Digital Life: Teachers Friending Kids - 0 views

  •  
    "Ultimately, the teacher-student relationship is all about guiding the student through a set curriculum involving reading, writing, arithmetic, and so on. This is and has always been a professional relationship, not a social one. Social media facilitates a social relationship. Call me "old school," but it doesn't seem right for students and teachers to connect in this way."

Why "I Don't Do Technology" Isn't Acceptable :Quisitivity - 1 views

  • Technology advances give all of us—doctors, forensic scientists, teachers, and students—the ability to make better decisions and solve more complex problems. Do we have the right to say, “I don’t do that”? Perhaps if it were only an individual decision. But educators have accepted responsibility for the growth of the students in their care, and choosing to avoid technology for themselves leaves their students with no choice.

    "Imagine the audacity of thinking that we can impart knowledge on our students that will really make a difference in 10 years. Just consider how much has changed in our world in the past two weeks-let alone the last two years. It has become cliché, but creating life-long learners must be the primary objective of our school systems. Our students need a new skill set in order to succeed-knowing things isn't enough, they must be adept at reviewing information and generating their own knowledge. "

  • That's the strategic mindset that allowed Ray Davis to "find the revolution" in his industry. Do you have the right strategic mindset to find the revolution in your industry?
