    this might be another arrow in the quiver supporting open testing

    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?

    The focus of this guide is on emerging practice rather than emerging technology. The examples and case studies in the section, Exploring emerging practice, show different perspectives and different approaches that reflect the naturally different stages institutions and departments will be at in using technology to enhance learning and teaching. They describe a series of exploratory journeys using a range of technologies to address particular needs or ambitions.

  • 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

    a lot of these ideas are applicable to k-12
