    "A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work.m4v" wow I have never seen anything like this before.. It looks like she has become so accustomed to using an iPad that she doesn't know/forgets how to flick through a magazine. What are your thoughts on this?
  • djplaner on 14 Mar 14
     
    For me - as I think you can probably guess from how I used it - this talks to me about how technology becomes mythic. This child's schemas are such that she assumes everything has a touch interface. While she's currently wrong, it may not be that long before that is the case. From there lots of implications and questions flow.

    I found this to be quite fascinating and I can relate to what he is saying. I find it interesting how he explains how the governments try to change education and control it from the top down. By putting in leaders, directors or principals, then expecting everyone else down the ladder to conform. He also talks about adaptability and creativity, and how our current systems do not foster these qualities. I am keen to find out what other people think! I have also shared this on my blog. http://rachelyates82.wordpress.com/

  • From the 1890s until World War II homework was consistently highly controversial, with laws against it (California 1901 among many others),

      For me, this is an illustration of "technology becoming mythic". i.e. today, many parents/teachers assume homework is a given.  And yet 100 years ago there were laws against it.
  • omework is a link from school to home that keeps parents informed about what the school is teaching, gives them a chance to participate in their children's schooling, and helps to keep the schools accountable to parents. Not to assign homework is to exclude parents from playing an active role in their children's academic development."

      I hear this quote so often but I really believe if the parents want to be involved in the children's learning, they need to spend time in their child's learning environment.

      Here, here, I so agree with you Jackie so often parents only find themselves in school to make a complaint or the like never have I seen a parent just wanting to spend time in their childs classroom just to see. It would be beneficial for all if there were time when this could happen.

      Connections with parents is important. In fact, it's one of the AITSL professional standards. But I wonder why parents don't spend more time in their child's classroom? I'm sure there would be many parents (but perhaps not all) who want to be more involved with their child's education, but who can't for various reasons.  I wonder if we can make it easier for them to be involved?

  • Our students deserve more imaginative thinking than that. And all of our students deserve an educational environment which moves us toward equality of opportunity, not further away from that.
    • Justene Webb
      Justene Webb on 13 Aug 13
       
      Equality is something that would be missed in a flipped classroom. With the cost of living increasing not all families are going to afford the technology that a flipped classroom requires students to have access to at home.
    • Colleen Lenehan
      Colleen Lenehan on 14 Aug 13
       
      Wouldn't lack of equality be bridged if the students who didn't have access to the internet went to school early or stayed back a bit later to listen to the videos. If there was supervision, what difference would it make being at school or at home for the video presentation?
    • Nicole Hunter
      Nicole Hunter on 18 Aug 13
       
      I agree with a comment made above too, that maybe the school day needs to be re-arranged if a flipped classroom pedagogy is going to be introduced - give students time during normal school hours to watch the videos then have the classroom discussion

    I just watched a TED talk in the last week about slowing down and taking the time - it was really very true but as I watched it I did keep checking the time bar at the bottom of the page..........thinking about all the other things I should be doing! I do though find watching TED talks, reminds me often of what I already knew but they are usually great reinforcements that remind me of my goals, work / life balance or bits of inspiration that provide a little "pick me up".

  • while students coming through the schools system in this always on world benefit from instant access to a wealth of information from numerous sources, their attention span and desire for in depth analysis is consequently diminished. The current generation of internet consumers live in a world of "instant gratification and quick fixes" which leads to a "loss of patience and a lack of deep thinking".

      Possibly one of the biggest hurdles we will encounter as educators - shorter attention spans and limited patience for learning.

  • At Woodside, as elsewhere, students’ use of technology is not uniform. Mr. Reilly, the principal, says their choices tend to reflect their personalities.
  • The technology has created on campuses a new set of social types — not the thespian and the jock but the texter and gamer, Facebook addict and YouTube potato. “The technology amplifies whoever you are,” Mr. Reilly says.

  • “Today mixing music, tomorrow sound waves and physics,” he says. And he thinks the key is that they love not just the music but getting their hands on the technology. “We’re meeting them on their turf.”

    Well this made me smile how people let the world into their refrigerators! However when I think about the class setting you could use it to investigate where products originate and the process they go through before they arrive in our refrigerators.

The Myth of Learning Styles - 3 views

learningstyles myths

shared by djplaner on 23 Feb 15 - No Cached
  • So in claiming that learning styles do not exist, we are not saying that all learners are the same. Rather, we assert that a certain number of dimensions (ability, background knowledge, interest) vary from person to person and are known to affect learning. The emphasis on learning styles, we think, often comes at the cost of attention to these other important dimensions.
  • However, when these tendencies are put to the test under controlled conditions, they make no difference—learning is equivalent whether students learn in the preferred mode or not. A favorite mode of presentation (e.g., visual, auditory, or kinesthetic) often reveals itself to be instead a preference for tasks for which one has high ability and at which one feels successful.
  • However, in order to persuade us to devote the time and energy to adopt a certain kind of differentiated teaching, the burden of proof is on those who argue for the existence of that description of students' cognitive strategies

  • “I don’t buy into the fact that we can get a system – and this is not a popular belief – that can do the full analysis of what students need,” he said
  • “I value the teaching profession and I think they need to look at the data that’s put out in front of them, the information that’s cut in different ways and use their ‘neck top computer’ [brain] to make some sort of valued judgement as to what the data is saying.
  • “Information can give black or white positives or negatives, but without the analytical mind of the teacher over the top understanding the student, what’s happening at home and in the classroom, they [IT] actually miss some of that analysis.”

  • Your approach to writing lesson plans will depend on various factors: how well you know the material you're teaching, how long you've been teaching, the kinds of teaching you've done, and the students you expect to have in your class. There is no single formula for writing lesson plans, but this guide will help you think through some of the processes that other instructors have found valuable to their own lesson planning.
