  • Laptop carts do not change teaching and learning in the classroom the way that one to one does.

      One concern expressed regarding this is that parents in Edina may not like a pilot that gives 1/4 the students at a grade level this privaledge. We need to be open to the idea that while this may be an ideal way for us to pilot, we can still gain valuable information from designing lessons and units in which each student has a laptop, albeit from a cart.
  • If you were starting this from scratch...Start at the middle school. Plan how you will grow.
  • Teachers must embrace change in the role of teacher, and of students!

      Society has changed at a much faster pace than most schools.

      What are the reasons that schools would not block Facebook if it is such a management issue?

      They want to be on the cutting edge, and maybe they have lots of tech support or not many students.

      It should depend on the different grade levels if facebook is blocked in school or not.

      Doug Johnson is a big believer that blocking Web content is a lot like banning books. He would rather teach kids proper use as opposed to say "You can't use it here."
  • As we look at education in the 21st century, we need to take these things into account.

      I agree, yet the method for accountability needs to change as well. Schools will respond to where the carrot or the stick is....right now that focus is on testing....the pendulum will need to swing more towards performance based assessment. What did MN learn from grad. standards of the 1990s? The grassroots of that movement came from the business community and addressed these exact issues...yet, education became bogged down with the accountability of it all.

  • Our learning environment must be innovative, where we create, distribute, access and collaborate with information.

      Our classrooms have changed so much in the last 15 years. It is hard to imagine what an innovative classroom will look like in the next 5 years.

      Hmmm...Interesting quote. With our technologies, can't we look up everything? Is there anything worth memorizing? This will radically change how we teach. Memorization is a time-saver in the long run. We'll need to consider what information we teach is "worthy of memorization".

      I think this would be a great conversation! I see a huge difference between memorizing your math facts and memorizing the capitals of states. Where do we draw the line?

      If NCLB/MCAII's require students to memorize facts for standardized tests, can we instruct at a higher level than Knowledge on Bloom's? Scott McLeod has an interesting video on that here: http://www.dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2008/08/whats-the-best.html Though you will need to view it at home because our filter blocks Vimeo, the site he uploaded the movie to.

      Hmm. . . . I don't buy it! Isn't a knowledge base necessary for the higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy? Am I old-fashioned to think that there are certain things that educated people should KNOW?

      What was the rationale for the difference in how they treat these sites? How does the administration in Edina feel?

    An innovative and collaborative environment is an exciting thought. Technology has changed so much in the last 15 years. It is hard to imagine how our classrooms will change in the next five years.
