      Love the speculation here. It'd pretty brash, but also plausible.

    Be interesting to use this in a class discussion on the viability of the iPad or other similar devices as content consumption and/or creation devices along side the debate that has to do with how textbooks are changing.

  • Every year, our failure rates have been through the roof.  
  • To watch this happen every day, where it is your responsibility to try to provide the very best you can for the students, is beyond frustrating. It’s heartbreaking.

  • they’ve already learned about the material and can spend class time working on math problems, writing about the Civil War or working on a science project, with the help of their teacher whenever they need it.
  • Teachers record their lectures using screen-capture software (we use Camtasia) and post these lecture videos to a variety of outlets, including our school website, and YouTube. Students watch these videos outside of class on their smartphone, in the school computer lab (which now has extended hours), at home or even in my office if they need to.

  • work and learn from each other.
  • To change the learning environment even further, we’ve used Google Groups to enable students to easily communicate outside of class, participate in large discussions related to their school
  • from someone who is a recognized expert in each area. So we decided to team with other schools across the country and world.

  • In September of 2011, the entire school began using the flipped instruction model, and already the impact is significant.
  • Our schools have long been structured so that students attend class to receive information, and then go home to practice and process this information.
  • understand
  • This model allows students to seek one-on-one help from their teacher when they have a question, and learn material in an environment that is conducive to their education.
  • technology
  • that are not capable of supporting their learning needs.
  • As we continue to expand and improve the flipped school model, it’s important for educators to come together and work with each other toward a common goal of fixing our education system through teamwork and collaboration, so all students can have access to the best information and materials. Instead of placing blame on each other, we need to recognize the solution, which has been right in front of us the whole time.

    Great description of how things work when we look at how we're doing things and decide to completely change and challenge the model of instruction that's been widely used and accepted for so long. Idea for class instruction: have students ID the various ways in which this particular article helps to address the ISTE NETS-T standards.

Apple Just Incentivized Every College Kid To Get An iPad. As For High Schoole... - 0 views

  • wow, Apple just incentivized every college student to get an iPad
  • The problem is that the cheapest iPad is still $500. What high school student is going to buy that? Basically none — their parents will have to. And that’s fine for some students, but not all. Not even a high percent, I’d imagine. In the inner-cities — again, where education is even more of an issue — it’s probably even less likely of a purchase.
  • That goes against Apple’s stated mission that students should now buy (or get via redemption code) all iBooks textbooks and keep them forever, keeping their notes, highlights, etc.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • absolutely needs fixing,
  • The education system in this country
  • next iPad is announced, the current model drops in price to something like $400 — or even $300 — that’s still an expensive sell to high school students and/or their parents and/or their schools. If every kid in the world already had an iPad, this would be the most brilliant program ever. Unfortunately, Apple needs to sell at least a few billion more iPads to get to that point.
  • But we need to get the tablets in their hands to get to that future.
  • Dave Eveland on 22 Jan 12
     
    Another great article on how technology continues to change how education is done.  While the product specific in iPads may not be around for ever, generationally, it may be what provides the type of revolution in a watershed way, that helps transform education the way that mass production of books did with Gutenberg.

    These resources tend to spring up overnight, so it's always interesting to see which ones will really be viable in the future, which one are sustainable, and which ones teachers can/or should really use in their own classrooms or professional development.

    Interesting overview of what the Internet could have been if it'd launched in 1983. It's really interesting given that it 'talks' about what the Internet currently is... from the stand point of what the Internet could be.

    Ever wonder what they imagined the Internet would look like, before we had it?

      After all, isn't this part of what the learing process is like? The fact that mastery comes with clarifying our concepts and understanding - from successes and from mistakes?
  • Find out what they really don't know. Ask them to verbalize the big idea. Ask them to explain what part they always get stuck on. Ask them if they have context.

      I'd love to do this in my own class, but having the time is so difficult in a course that seems to need to pack so much into it in such a short time.
  • I asked the students why they were so excited, and one turned to me and said, "This is for a town in the Philippines. We Skyped with them last week, and we found some of the same grass they have. We want to help them make ethanol. Regular gasoline is a really high cost of farming for them, and they have a lot of switchgrass."
