  • Some areas that Instructional Coaches can assist schools with are referred to as the Big Four: Classroom Management, Content, Instruction, and Formative Assessment. While the presenters facilitated dialogue around the topic of formative assessment the analogy was made to video gaming; and specifically Angry Birds.
  • ‘formative assessment
  • it is an integral part of the learning and teaching process; and assessment evidence is actually used to: modify teaching to meet the needs of pupils; and improve learning.”

    This is an awesome proof of the connection between writing and close reading. If you can read closely you can also be aware of the connection between that and being an audience member. In other words close reading helps you connect to the idea of what it means to have an audience. Close reading for revision means you are an audience member for your writer and it also means that you can empathize with your audience--a necessary element in writing for that audience.

  • What is a Twitter hashtag?
  • Hashtags are getting more and more popular (despite the fact some people are against them wishing their Twitter stream to be metadata-free and “as human a form of communication as possible”).
  • Twemes.com is another useful resource for discovering new hashtags and tracking those you are interested in. It has a hashtag cloud and also offers RSS subscription to any hashtag stream:

  •   The Story-Centered Curriculum by Roger Schank. 2007. In high school, this state of affairs is even stranger. In the "subject-centered" curriculum model in place at most schools, students move from subject to subject, spending 45 minutes a day at each. The subjects they are taught were decided upon by a curriculum committee in 1892 who were certainly not interested in, nor capable of, imagining the world we live in today. The school experience they created in no way mirrors what student lives will be like after graduation, nor does it take into account any modern theory of how students learn best. The experience is passive, fragmented, unmotivated, and generally dull. And, not surprisingly, it usually does not work. Drop out rates in high school are astoundingly high.

      I love this idea. It is more in keeping with the developmental models we understand in an intuitive way--we love our own story and we love the stories of those around us.

Unboxed - Yes, People Still Read, but Now It's Social - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “THE point of books is to combat loneliness,” David Foster Wallace observes near the beginning of “Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself,” David Lipsky’s recently published, book-length interview with him.
  • other readers have highlighted the passage on their Kindles, making it one of the more “popular” passages in the book.
  • Thanks to e-mail, Twitter and the blogosphere, I regularly exchange information with hundreds of people in a single day: scheduling meetings, sharing political gossip, trading edits on a book chapter, planning a family vacation, reading tech punditry. How many of those exchanges could happen were I limited exclusively to the technologies of the phone, the post office and the face-to-face meeting? I suspect that the number would be a small fraction of my current rate.

  • high-level thinking when the culture migrates from the page to the screen.
  • Mr. Carr’s original essay, published in The Atlantic — along with Clay Shirky’s more optimistic account, which led to the book “Cognitive Surplus”
  • The intellectual tools for assessing the media, once the province of academics and professional critics, are now far more accessible to the masses.
  • The question is not whether our brains are being changed. (Of course new experiences change your brain — that’s what experience is, on some basic level.) The question is whether the rewards of the change are worth the liabilities.
  • Quiet contemplation has led to its fair share of important thoughts. But it cannot be denied that good ideas also emerge in networks.
