    Just thought I would share this, it's an actual book but I found it on Diigo for one of my other classes and it's really interesting information on emotional literacy.

  • But I am saying my kids don’t (won’t) need teachers any more to get them to pass the test.
  • If nothing else, the new iPhone’s integration of Siri is a clear indicator of how far technology has come in terms of understanding semantic cues and interactions.
  • If it’s all about test scores and “student acheivement” measured by test scores, immersing kids into Knewton-type environments is by far the easiest, cheapest, path of least resistance for the system’s current definition of “learning.”

  • This is why we should all be feeling an acute urgency right now to take back the definition of what “learning” really is in a world filled with content and teachers and personalization.
  • Knewton doesn’t develop learners. It develops knowers.
  • We’re in serious trouble if that’s all we value.

  • The why of education should be the first question that we answer in any discussion in the field.
  • Sadly, it seems to be very difficult to say anything about “what learning is” and “why we educate our children”.
  • but it’s pretty tough to create a system that both trains people to do what they are told and to also critically assess their culture.

  • Memory is the representation of the things that we ‘know’ as a culture
  • The worker was the original goal of the public education system.
  • The worker needs to remember things without understanding them.
  • Learning for a worker is about compliance.
  • Our education system currently does a very good job of creating workers.
  • The soldier
  • They are the defenders of memory.
  • They are the ones who establish what things we currently know that the worker should remember, and then establish the system by which we will measure that knowing.
  • They decide which parts of the past will be valued
  • soldiers really can decide what they want to have valued.
  • Soldiers defend the status quo
  • The nomad is trying to do what I call ‘learning’.
  • Learning for the nomad is the point where the steps in a process go away.
  • It is what Wynton Marsalis calls ‘being the thing itself’
  • In order to create an educational system that allows for nomads we can’t measure for a prescribed outcome.
  • Rhizomatic learning
  • It is designed for a world where there aren’t ‘things people should know’ but rather ‘new connections to be made’.
  • If we want a society of innovators, of creatives, we can’t think of success as an act of compliance
