How to Integrate Tech When It Keeps Changing | Edutopia - 0 views

  • how do you coordinate knowledge, instructional practices, and technologies in order to positively influence academic achievement?
    • Sean Nash
       
      The real question that leads to a need for understanding TPACK...
  • William Gibson: "The future is already here -- it's just not very evenly distributed."
    • Sean Nash
       
      A quote I have used in discussions such as these since about 2006. It just won't go away.
  • Meanwhile, those of us whose skills in tech integration are not quite Olympic class may find the SAMR model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) more helpful for locating ourselves along the continuum of maximizing the transformational impact of technology.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Absolutely... and the main reason we moved to also using SAMR in most every conversation with teachers from that point on. Referencing both SAMR & TPACK seems to allow everyone in on the analysis at their level.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • What won't work is waiting for technological change to stabilize. "The only way to make sense out of change,” said Alan Watts, “is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
    • Sean Nash
       
      Yes. Yes yes. This could not be more true. Again, "no one jumps a 20 chasm in two 10 foot leaps." Immersion is key. Jump in and get under the hood of everything you can. Is that sustainable over the long haul, perhaps not? Certainly not for most. However, once you've truly immersed yourself in a world of new tools and new procedures -new ways of doing things- when you eventually hit the wall and need to scale back... you'll know what you cat ditch and what you can't afford to now lose.  Get in.
  • By 2015, 80 percent of people accessing the Internet will do so with mobile devices.
    • Sean Nash
       
      How does this statement impact your future decisions regarding student and teacher technology purchases?
  • You'll never keep abreast of every technology innovation, so allow yourself to be a curious learner that doesn't know it all.
  • "If children's only interaction with an IWB is to come up one at a time to answer a question," says researcher Sandra Linder, "then it is not being used in the most effective manner."
    • Sean Nash
       
      I have rarely seen an "interactive" whiteboard used in any way that does not, at the core, reinforce a rather old and busted instructional paradigm. And don't get me wrong, we need explicit instruction. We need it. We just don't need to pay $2500 for a tool to do so when we have more pressing needs for technology funds.
  • Interact with Students via Tech
    • Sean Nash
       
      Just don't forget to interact with them face to face!

How and Why to Annotate a Book - AP Central - 10 views

  • they laboriously start over, re-notating an earlier reading.
    • Sean Nash
       
      This is frustrating at times, for sure. However, do you think there is ever a situation where a FIRST reading without annotation is a good idea?
  • only when cramming for a test
    • Sean Nash
       
      Proaction is better than reaction. Always.
  • and can be completely personal
    • Sean Nash
       
      After the teacher models his or her preferred way... what is the best way to go about granting permission to diverge?
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • You can deliberately engage the author in conversation and questions
    • Sean Nash
       
      And when using Diigo to annotate online text, a simple invite can engage an author in a very real way with not only one student's connections, but potentially those of an entire class.
    • skantola
       
      Test comment
    • Julie Moore
       
      Julie's comment
  • much like having a teacher or storyteller with you in the room
    • Sean Nash
       
      What if one of the emerging roles of a teacher in the 21st Century was to enlist other expert "teachers" beyond the assigned teacher at the front of the room? Would this be a good thing? How so?
  • Annotate any text that you must know well, in detail, and from which you might need to produce evidence that supports your knowledge or reading, such as a book on which you will be tested.
    • Sean Nash
       
      This is very close to the metric I use for deciding whether I will buy the book in digital form or paper copy. What is the percentage of digital texts vs. paper texts you currently find yourself purchasing?
  • if you're relaxing with a book, well, relax. Still, some people—let's call them "not-abnormal"—actually annotate for pleasure.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Amen on: not annotating when reading for pleasure. That said, I found it liberating to be labeled "not-abnormal" for considering books that I WOULD annotate (nearly all of them) something that is actually pleasurable for some. I'm a fan of non-fiction, and I cannot, for the life of me, remember a text I have recently read that didn't teach me something that I would want to be able to recall at a moment's notice if I wanted/needed  to.
  • Don't annotate other people's property, which is almost always selfish, often destructive, rude, and possibly illegal. For a book that doesn't belong to you, use adhesive notes for your comments, removing them before you return the text.
    • Sean Nash
       
      This is the first statement made that in perhaps fundamentally different about using Diigo to annotate a text. This is truly a "best of both worlds" situation where you can simultaneously share annotations, "aha! moments" and reflections... and yet still read the text without any of the markup showing. At this point in the text, allow me to pose this question: what are positives/negatives of this approach in your opinion?
  • blue and pink and fluorescent colors are even more distracting.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Here is disagree completely. Color allow differentiation of thought. I'm better the author was never introduced to a strategy that allowed this for online text. Imagine the metacognitive power added when students are encouraged to not only log process their takeaways in the text... but to also categorize their thoughts along the way. There is a body of research providing a nod to categorizing reflections & questions.
    • Lisa Fletcher
       
      I agree. Highlighting in different colors helps me organize my thoughts.
  • view highlighting on sample pages
    • Sean Nash
       
      Check out the following link and take a look at how much additional work this teacher had to do in order to make his thinking visible for his students/colleagues. This capability is baked right into Diigo.
  • Even geniuses make mistakes, temporary comments, and incomplete notes.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Is there value in being able to see thoughts before they are fully formalized? Is this something a teacher to act upon as formative information?
  • Create your own system for marking what is important, interesting, quotable, questionable, and so forth.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Yes. This is exactly what is allowed by use of this tool.......
  • Inside the front cover of your book, keep an orderly, legible list of "key information" with page references.
    • Sean Nash
       
      This is no longer needed when using Diigo to annotate. All markup is catalogued right along with tags, etc. for every article read. Not only does it save this categorization to a central and personal space, it is now possible to share this with an entire community of learners in the same boat.
  • that's useful idiosyncrasy.
    • Sean Nash
       
      ...and reading this closely is perhaps the only way to make such rigorous text reachable for the students we teach.
  • Nick Otten has taught for nearly 40 years—the last 20 at Clayton High School—specializing in American literature, creative writing, and student publication. He has also been adjunct professor at Webster University in St. Louis for 30 years, specializing in teacher training in the Master of Arts in Teaching graduate program. He has published widely on reading, written an editorial column in English Journal, and presented workshops for teachers in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China.
    • Sean Nash
       
      A pretty solid set of credentials that adds authority to the words within this article.
    • Sean Nash
       
      Sticky notes can also float beside the text which is valuable for big-picture takeaways, reflections, and overall question to the teacher or all classmates.

    Most serious readers take notes of some kind when they are carefully considering a text, but many readers are too casual about their note-taking. Later they realize they have taken notes that are incomplete or too random, and then they laboriously start over... AP Central - How and Why to Annotate a Book http://t.co/0hCZX0Gegr
