    If we have wireless everywhere, the ability to project onto the mind's eye, the ability to control a computer with our thoughts, and the ability to implant that computer in our body, how far away are we from having a bio-chip that gives us always-on access to the web? What will education do when children can recall facts they have never learned merely by thinking about the question? What skills do we teach then?

  • Independent school culture is such that teachers need to make certain they build on the rich heritage of what works and yet make room to rethink delivery of AP courses and such so that these kids not only get into some of the most prestigious colleges around, but they are fluent in the new literacies when they arrive.
  • Web 2.0 – and ultimately School 2.0 -- is all about this two-way or group communication. The Web is no longer just a place to search for resources. It’s a place to find people, to exchange ideas, to demonstrate our creativity before an audience. The Internet has become not only a great curriculum resource but a great learning resource. The second generation Web is in fact, laying the foundation for ideas such as Classroom 2.0, Teacher 2.0 and Learning 2.0.

  • Above all, they say, partners must come together and agree not just on common goals, but shared ways to measure success towards those goals. They must communicate on a regular basis. And there must be a “backbone” organization that is focused full-time on managing the partnership.
  • war rooms” in each school. Teachers have meetings every two weeks, where they closely monitor students’ progress
  • the network can engage in continuous learning based on evidence.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • In education, data has traditionally been used for punitive purposes, not for improvement
  • “The key to making a partnership work is setting a common vision and finding a common language. You can’t let people get focused on ideological or political issues,” says Edmondson. “You need a common language to bring people together and that language is the data.”

  • they are expected to graduate with the habits of mind—curiosity, skepticism, compassion, wonder—that will prepare them to be better physicians
  • About half of all medical knowledge becomes obsolete every five years. Every 15 years, the world’s body of scientific literature doubles.
  • better integration of formal knowledge and clinical experience and a learning process that is individualized, not one-size-fits-all
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • One of the goals of this whole model—of having students do a lot of the learning themselves rather than passively listening—is that they need to be lifelong learners
  • Gone is the traditional 50-minute lecture. (Also gone is paper, for the most part.) The students have completed the assigned reading beforehand and, because they’ve absorbed the facts on their own, class time serves another purpose. Self-assessment tests at the start of class measure how well they understand the material. Then it’s time to do a test case, to reinforce their critical thinking and push their knowledge and skills to another level.
  • The room’s interactive technology allows her to link to students’ laptops; it also enables their work to be broadcast onto the big screens. Instead of a blackboard, she can use a document camera, which is like an overhead projector, allowing her to write or draw a diagram that will project on the screens. Absentees can view a podcast of the session.
  • We’re trying to create a situation in which they are thinking as a physician working with a patient, not as a professional test taker,
  • Immediately following the exercise, students move to a separate room where, still highly energized, they watch the video and reflect on their decision making as physicians in that particular situation.
  • studies in modern learning theory indicate that hour-long lectures are not the best way to teach students because the average attention span for listening to one is about 12 minutes.
  • The circular learning studio, Pollart notes, is designed for learning, not teaching.
  • There was some initial resistance. Some faculty felt a little offended

    Other ideas come to mind when thinking of how Hangouts can be used in school administration: a school's technology help desk can leave a Hangout open all day to allow teachers and students to jump in and out as needed with questions, and an admissions office can offer online panel discussions for perspective parents and students (especially good for boarding schools where families may not be local).
