Edu Change & Advocacy: Let's Transform Education By Focusing on Tranformation - 0 views

  •  
    "What Is Transformational In Your Educational Vision?      Part of the challenge in educational reform is that not everyone defines learning or education the same way.  Sure, we all refer to things such as literacy, college and career ready, 21st century skills, etc.        However, what is the core purpose of one's education?  Beyond specifics related to employment skills, literacy skills and standards mastery, I offer up this idea: Education is meant to transform one's life.  In other words, education has to dramatically, or even radically, transform the person into a new, improved person that is more emotionally, socially, and intellectually ready for any challenge the world has to offer."

Student Blogs: Digital Portfolios | Primary Tech - 7 views

  •  
    Although this is written with younger students in mind, there are some good ideas of the skills all beginning bloggers need to learn, how to organize posts in a spreadsheet and track posts using Feedly, an RSS reader. Some good ideas for the classroom teacher. If 4th graders can blog, why not older students?

"Reimagining a Library Without Printed Books: One Year Later at Cushing Academy" - 2 views

  •  
    SLJ Summit 2010: Tom Corbett, Cushing Academy on Vimeo - several interesting points, including seeing the library as not so much as the repository, but the portal to books, information and training users in digital literacy, which is a new skill set. I liked his illustration re: what is must've been like when the transition going from the horse-drawn cart and the first automobile took place, and the similarities with print to digital, etc.

Resta, viator, et lege....: Content vs. Creation in the Classroom - 2 views

  • Content is important.  Creativity is important too.  I think that there's should be some ideal mix of the two that will look different in different classrooms.  I also think that educational literature that is quick to dismiss tradition and content-based learning, however broken, is ultimately unhelpful and only serves to widen the gap between sides.  Likewise myopic is the claim that using technology to create more opportunities to play can only be accomplished at the expense of content.  Ultimately, it's not the content or the creative technology that matters.  The single most important factor in quality education is the teacher, and I fear that too much of the pedagogical literature being shared right now fails to focus on this fact (cf. ASCD "21st Century Skills" for a good assessment of this).

    "Content vs. Creation in the Classroom" - both are needed. Can't really have creative learning without the content. Read his thoughts on how to capture that in classroom pedagogy.

Portfoliogen - Create a Free Customized Teacher Portfolio Webpage in Minutes! - 3 views

  •  
    Online portfolio for teachers - FREE. I would encourage especially pre-service teachers to consider using a tool like this to help provide something more engaging than the standard resume. One of my goals this summer is to use something like this or a blog resume to document my work, experience, skill sets, and learning.

Using Pre-Needs Assessment for Effective PD | Edutopia - 2 views

  •  
    "I've had the pleasure to deliver and be part of countless sessions and workshops, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that there is nothing worse than a presenter who doesn't know his or her audience. Adult learners carry with them a very diverse set of skills and needs. To prepare a one-size-fits-all (or most) session does everyone a disservice. Whether you work in a district as an instructional support staff or you provide ancillary development as a contractor, the three tools and tactics featured in this post will provide an effective means to gauge the needs of your audience and chart your course to effectively support them."

Multicultural + Global Education - 0 views

  •  
    As the population of the United States becomes more diverse and globally more interdependent, it is critical that universities prepare students to become engaged multicultural global citizens and leaders. Whether it's preparing students on essential job skills, the capabilities of citizenship, or the moral imperatives of the 21st century, we all agree on the importance of understanding differences.
