Unlearning How to Teach - 1 views

  •  
    The shift from 'sage on the stage' to 'guide on the side', while it has served an important function in shifting the focus from the teacher to the learner, does not capture the fullness of the implications of this shift. We have been hearing about the importance of 'lifelong learning' for some time now in formal education. If, as Bauman asserts, 'unlearning' will be as important to social success in the 21st millennium as learning has been in the 20th millennium, then the habit of 'lifelong learning' will need radical re-thinking in terms of the nature and purposes of pedagogical work. Put simply, we will need to see a further shift from sage-on-the-stage and guide-on-the-side to meddler-in-the-middle (McWilliam, 2005).

21st Century Learning: Learning2.0 - 0 views

  • 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.

List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • List of cognitive biases From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search A cognitive bias is a pattern of deviation in judgement that occurs in particular situations (see also cognitive distortion and the lists of thinking-related topics). Implicit in the concept of a "pattern of deviation" is a standard of comparison; this may be the judgment of people outside those particular situations, or may be a set of independently verifiable facts. The existence of some of these cognitive biases has been verified empirically in the field of psychology, others are widespread beliefs, and may themselves be a consequence of cognitive bias.

    Yikes. This one might provoke some pain. It would be a great start with students and for faculty self-reflection. Not techy at all.
