What Kids Should Really Learn in Science Class - Newsweek - 1 views

  • Ignorance about regression to the mean can fool us about why we recover from illness.
  • The most useful skill we could teach is the habit of asking oneself and others, how do you know?
  • If knowledge comes from intuition or anecdote, it is likely wrong.

  • In one neat experiment, participants rewarded students’ punctuality or punished tardiness for 15 days, then evaluated whether carrots or sticks worked better. Verdict: punishment. Unbeknownst to the “teachers,” the exercise had been rigged: students arrived at random times (generated by computer) unrelated to what teachers did. Yet the teachers believed their intervention had an effect. (A nickel says parents fall for the same illusion.)

Educators need learning advocacy, not technology advocacy | Dangerously Irrelevant - 0 views

  • We should connect our kids to readers around the world so they begin to understand the connective nature of writing.
  • We should connect our kids with other schools around the globe so they can have diverse conversations and learn with instead of learn aboutnother cultures.

      Which one are you?
  • My students need better ways to transparently revise and share their work with more than just one partner in the classroom.

  • I agree with Russ that we “technology advocates” should be focused on selling the learning, not just the technologies. But I’m more skeptical than he is, perhaps, that those learning outcomes will be strong pulls - pulls that are strong enough to drive urgency and change practice - for many (most?) educators. What do you think?
  • t’s actually the reason I stopped doing Tech Tuesday midway through last year.
  • Having conversations about tools is what gets us to the point where 90% of respondents to T&L’s poll think they’re good to go. Now, as a commenter pointed out on that original post, they’re comfortable. Learning those tools is easy. EASY. The conversation is short. The use is simplistic. The learning doesn’t change.

      Excellent point! Once the tool conversation is over, that's it. Often the glamor of the tool dies out and there is no progress on using it more effectively for learning.

    Great comment by Scott McLeod and even better comments from readers. How do we balance "Tech Advocacy" with "Learning Advocacy"?
