Why Obama Can't Ignore Education Tech - BusinessWeek - 0 views

    • Uche Amaechi
       
      Somewhat simplistic article. If you build it they'll come attitude. it's not the technology, but knowing how to use the technology, properly...i.e not in a sustaining manner.. that will improve schools and learning...

    Obama should put more money into educational technology. This seems like a very one sided and simplistic view of how technology can be used to improve education. Only at the end of the article do you realize that the author is selling something: he's an officer at a company that works with educational technology

Web 2.0: Good for Education? -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  •  - Gap between upper-echelon institutions that are able to adapt to Web 2.0 trends and the rest of higher education
    • Uche Amaechi
       
      I'd argue that mass production schools like phoenix are leading the on-line charge in education, embracing web 2.0 and other technologies to better compete against the old guard and other younger institutions. Sure the old guard have more resources, but are they reaching more students? Will they always have more resources?

  • Openness: overall open attitude toward sharing, networking and transparency. 2. Peering: removing corporate command and control hierarchies and promoting self-organization.

      Openness is a disposition. Peering can be a skill, disposition, or as posited here, a structural affordance, or obstacle presented by the institution.

  • Those in formal leadership roles must set a tone for building trust and working together through authentic collaboration

      Trust and collaboration. Trust is definitely a disposition; collaboration can be both a disposition (to want to collaborate, because of trust and otherwise) and a skill
  • In describing Roca’s organizational shift, executive director Molly Baldwin pointed to peace circles as a defined space where staff can find common ground and “where we can see the world together” (personal communication, February 20, 2009).

      This would argue that collaboration and sharing is a skill. But is it a skill alone? Obviously you can influence people's dispositions. But does knowing whether you're trying to teach/influence a disposition or a skill make you a more effective leader?

Roca : Strategy - 1 views

  • 1) Pre-contemplation: The young person is not thinking about or has explicitly rejected change; 2) Contemplation: The young person is now thinking about change and perhaps seeks out a youth worker or some other program; she or he may respond to some suggestions from staff; 3) Planning: The young person and case manager talk about what it would take to make change happen and what the young person wants for the future; 4) Action: The young person begins to take positive steps toward improving his or her life through practice (trial and error) in the context of a plan that has been discussed in detail between the young person and case manager; and, 5) Sustaining: Through continuing staff support during difficult times and new cooperative efforts, the young person is able to achieve concrete improvements in his or her life, move demonstrably toward achieving a self-sustaining lifestyle, and is living in safety.
