    by David Bornstein, Opinionator commentary, New York Times, April 19, 2011. Author discusses a successful new elementary school level math curriculum, Jump Math, in use in Canada and England. The founder of Jump Math, John Mighton, believes the key is in teachers working with students to break math problems down into steps, that can be further broken down. When students are successful at mastering a step they have the confidence to go on.

    Posted by Tony Bates to his blog on August 1, 2011. Bates, who runs a consultancy to teach about e-learning, argues that online learning is ever more important in post-secondary education (he writes from Canada, but his statistics are for all of North America), but that most post-secondary teachers have been trained very little in pedagogy and "teaching" at all, less so in online teaching and learning. He seeks comments and feedback to his argument.

    By Anya Kamenetz in the Education column of GOOD magazine (Online), August 29 2011. The idea behind the Edupunk concept is a DIY approach to education in order to make education truly student-driven, and to make good use of the great variety of resources available on the Internet. To that end, Kamenetz, author of The Edupunk's Guide (a free ebook) offers these ideas regarding online research.
  • KPI_Library Bookmarks on 01 Sep 11
     
    Much as the Edupunk movement fails to value the importance of a good teacher to guide and support the student's learning experience, this post fails to take librarians and libraries into account. That said, there are some great sites and sources on this list, though no mention of how students should evaluate the accuracy, currency, or authority of these sites. What do you think?

    No author or date listed, published on Edudemic. This post promotes a guide to Google+ for educators, written by Steven W. Anderson. I bookmark this post for two reasons. First, obviously, the opportunity for educators to learn more about Google+ and it's potential educational applications. But also the format, LiveBinder, is an interesting way to present and share resources.

    Posted by George Siemens on his blog elearnspace, September 5 2011. Siemens argues that instructors can't provide "coherence" for knowledge just by "broadcasting" a course. He suggests that coherence is about how "*we* connect information elements and how we use artifacts and narratives to share that coherence." I am interested in the idea of "information foraging," especially in the context of content curation.

    By Alexia Tsotsis for TechCrunch, August 18 2011. Kibin, a new startup, runs an editing "community" where users can edit each other's work for free (earning points for editing others' work; paying in points for having your own work edited). Users can also buy Kibin credits (rather than bartering) in order to have their work edited.

    R.A. posted this as she is "wondering what role the teaching of grammar and mechanics will play in our future curricular decisions. Will we be focusing on critical thinking and rhetorical strategies instead, as areas where computers and online editors will be less useful?"

See especially #9: US Education vs. The World: Education Spending (and performance) and #10 - 10 Shocking U.S. Education Statistics, which includes stats on high school dropouts, math anxiety, and how education impacts earning potential. Unfortunately, the graphics are not well cited (sources are not clearly indicated).
