  • t is hoped, to succeed in college and flourish in their futures.
  • standards
  • there is little substantial difference between Race to the Top and NCLB.
  • ...27 more annotations...
  • Einstein also said, “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” The purpose of this essay is to explore what “counts” in education but can’t be counted, as well as possible ways to measure those aspects of becoming educated that I believe are more significant than what we now measure—especially as we experience the world of the 21st Century.
  • Our current approach to education hasn’t changed in over two hundred years.
  • What qualities and characteristics enabled them not only to learn the essential skills, but also to be creative, determined people who lived significant, productive lives?
  • My concern here is the emphasis our schools place on measuring what is easily measured at the expense of developing those qualities that many self-educated people learn outside of school
  • Can we learn to count what can’t be counted?
  • Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to its secret.”
  • Carnegie Unit—
  • a system of breaking down knowledge into lessons that if dispensed for a certain number of minutes each day, five days a week, could, by the end of the year, produce the desired results.
  • Tom Friedman’s, The World is Flat or seen Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”
  • The awesome power and potential of the Internet is transforming how we communicate and collaborate, while at the same time we are on a collision course with destructive environmental issues the results of which are impossible to calculate.
  • we must consider the research on how the brain works.
  • They learn by doing and solving problems, figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and pursuing what is relevant to them in the moment. It’s amazing to watch children learning so spontaneously and proficiently while mostly having fun.
  • Our schools, however, take an approach opposite
  • the original meaning of the word school is schola
  • Bailing out our banks and Wall Street without really changing how they do business and expecting different results is a form of Einstein’s insanity.
  • Why are our schools so stuck?
  • So what is the alternative?
  • a problem-based curriculum
  • A good question is a quest and can be the beginning of important journeys into the unknown.
  • A problem-based approach to learning is as natural as breathing. It could dramatically change how schools are structured and how teachers teach, and ultimately enable students to develop the abilities that really “count.” Problem-based learning is built on the assumption that the most effective learning takes place when students are using their knowledge to solve real life problems that concern them. It encourages them to work either individually or collaboratively on problems that are relevant to their lives in order to create and propose solutions as opposed to the traditional approach of reproducing information. Through analysis, strategizing, and the gathering of data and information, student learning is deepened because it is being used to solve real problems. Imagine students exploring the causes for global warming and proposing solutions or analyzing our current food distribution system that has a billion people hungry and suggesting how these problems can be remedied.
  • the four Cs: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
  • The role of the teacher changes from dispenser of information to model, guide, facilitator, and more experienced learner. I like to think of the teacher as a consenting partner in the learning process and of the relationship between teacher and student as a loving, collegial friendship, as opposed to the authoritarian style that is now the norm.
  • different standards that can be achieved with a problem-based curriculum
  • is it possible to “count” what can’t be counted?
  • a problem-based curriculum by Mark Van Ryzin
  • Mary C. Clark’s seminal book, In Search of Human Nature,
  • Comparing the growth in these areas as students transition from a traditional to a problem-based approach with the results of standardized tests of academic achievement would provide significant information that could encourage more schools to adopt a problem based approach and radically change how schools look and operate.

  • “do-it-yourself learning management systems.”
  • Components in my conception of DIYLMS include·         A wiki portal for course information and organization, with links pertinent to course content and management, and other relevant resources, such as screencasts and tutorials·         Google Docs for student submission of assignments, and teacher feedback on student writing·         Blogging, to showcase student work·         Etherpad clones for group collaboration tasks·         Jing and Screenr to create and annotated screen-capture and screencast tutorials·         A back-channel tool such as Twitter, Skype group chat, or Edmodo·         In teacher training, I also use these synchronous learning tools o   Skype group chat as a synchronous AND asynchronous forum o   Google Hangout for live webcam and voice-enabled interaction o   WiZiQ

    Growth in private cloud Numerous associations are thinking about the best strategies to assemble and deal with their private cloud usage. As indicated by the 2016 Cloud State Survey, isolated cloud reception expanded from 63 percent to 77 percent in the previous year, with 31 percent of organizations running in excess of 1,000 virtual machines in their private mists, an expansion of 9 percent during the past year. Building a devoted foundation with the dexterity, adaptability and productivity of an open cloud, while getting a charge out of more significant levels of control and security, can assist organizations with expanding nimbleness and improve operational effectiveness.

    Thirty to forty minutes of work and that too with a cell phone. Assuming I let you know this work is duplicate glue and it doesn't actually require your investment and I will show you this work in this blog article. To realize, this is an extraordinary chance for you. I guarantee you folks will begin bringing in web-based cash.
