New tack for OLPC: Let the students teach themselves - 0 views

    Apparently their new strategy is to "airdrop" OLPC laptops into communities and let students teach themselves. Now, I'm all for students learning by creating and constructivist pedagogy... but this seems altogether irresponsible. Also, seems like we're promoting different standards for students in low income/low resource settings vs. students in resource rich settings through initiatives like this--and not in a good way. =/

  • This pooling of professional resources to teach all the students is wonderful. What I wonder is how good the skills based curriculum in this program is at aiding students in making deep connections between individual skills, topics and disciplines. I think this type of teaching has tremendous potential.

      Very interesting point about focusing on skills to the detriment of a more holistic synthesis.  And what happens to shared synthesis when each student has a different learning trajectory
  • PD involving looking at models of this personalized learning being successfully implemented into difficult school environments may mitigate some of these fears.

      This connects to Laura's observation that teachers are not really mentioned in this part of the plan--they are another piece to be glommed on to the plan. would argue to a more holistic view incorporating the realities of teaching into the fundamental levels of charting learning plans
  • Educators who have learned in teacher-centered classrooms have more difficulty to shift their roles as facilitators. The new model is fascinating as long as it accompanies realistic implementation methods that serve all the parties involved well, at least better that how the situation currently is in terms of workload.

      Great points, Laura. Infrastructure and people--a highly overlapping pair, are core challenges to this "flip" of the learning process/system. your concerns are echoed below by your colleagues.

    The gender imbalance in the startup world, and more specifically the development world, is a frequent topic here and elsewhere. Last week I learned of a new meetup in Cambridge aimed at getting more women to become Ruby developers by simply bringing in women to teach them.

    "Good teaching was not defined by test results. Instead, its attributes were identified on a nine-item scale, which included student appraisals of how well the teacher organized material, used class time, explained directions, and reviewed the subject matter."

    This was also shared in UDL by my teaching fellow. Again, it is not just about the TECH, it is about the TEACHer!! Clearly there is a lot of buzz around iPads in schools at the moment. You can't log on to the Web without reading about another school or entire district or department investing massive coin in a sparkling set of the Wonder Tablets, excited that they will cure all the ills of the current education systems around the world.

    Interesting article on robot-teachers in Korea. Let's say there are two scenarios: 1. Creating a technology that competes with non-consumption, and 2. Creating a technology that competes with human labor Does the nature of one's advocacy change? Should it? What if it isn't your job that is on the line? What if it is indeed your job? Does this think about you you frame your discourse surrounding such an emerging technology?

      This is an example of the promise of Tech in Teaching. It promotes the Psycho/Social pedogogical reality of the learner's sphere of influences into the vital center of our concept of school. To me, it transforms academic discourse into intentional design. Because school experience is so culturally endemic, this is a change in cultural self-concept.
  • The opportunity to harness this interest and access in the service of learning is huge.

      This sentence makes me think of an explorer who has discovered a vast mineral deposit and is looking for capital investment. To persuade teachers, parents, and school boards the explorer will need to show tangible evidence that ". . . our education system [can leverage] technology to create learning experiences that mirror students' daily lives and the reality of their futures." The sixth grade teacher will need to be able to demonstrate to the parent of a student the tangible benefits of a technology infused paradigm.
  • The challenge for our education system is to leverage technology to create relevant learning experiences that mirror students' daily lives and the reality of their futures.

      Isn't this just another iteration of the general disparity in all kinds of resource allocation? This could just as well be articulated by debilitating student/teacher rations, or text book availability, or the availability of paper, or breakfast, or heat in the he building?
  • School of One uses technology to develop a unique learning path for each student and to provide a significant portion of the instruction that is both individualized and differentiated
  • Advances in the learning sciences, including cognitive science, neuroscience, education, and social sciences, give us greater understanding of three connected types of human learning—factual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and motivational engagement.

      I found the neuroscience discussion to be the most interesting part of the Learning section. It seems to me that the 21st century learner needs more emphasis on the "learning how" and the "learning why" and less focus on the "learning that." I think teaching information literacy (as described in the Learning section) is one of the most important kinds of procedural knowledge (learning how) students should master so they can access facts as they need them, and worry less about memorizing them.
  • James Glanville on 09 Sep 11
     
    "School of One uses technology to develop a unique learning path for each student and to provide a significant portion of the instruction that is both individualized and differentiated." I liked the definitions of individualized (pacing), differentiated (learning preferences/methods), and personalized (pacing, preferences, and content/objectives).
