collaboration learning school education

  • If students want to learn in isolation; if they want to sit at a desk and work on their own stuff, occasionally checking in with an "expert," they have no reason to come to school.
  • For years we've talked about (or we may have even been) kids who've only come to school because of team sports, or music groups, or theatre, or even hanging out at lunch.
  • If school isn't about doing things together, just about everyone has better places to spend their day.

  • The world of work has moved on, but the educational structure, despite the efforts of many individual teachers and administrators, crawls along
  • Bill Gates favorite boy Salman Khan, believe that kids sitting alone, working by themselves, with canned, inflexible data in front of them, is the best preparation for life in the present and future.
  • So here is what your classroom, and your school, needs to offer kids:
  • 1. A learning environment in which students make most decisions.
  • 2. A time environment in which students learn and work along a schedule which makes sense to them
  • 3. A technological environment which supports collaboration across every barrier.
  • 4. A social environment where adults do not rank students according to their oppressive standards.

    If students want to learn in isolation; if they want to sit at a desk and work on their own stuff, occasionally checking in with an "expert," they have no reason to come to school. They can do a lot better at home, or at their local coffee shop or even the public library, where both the coffee and the WiFi connection will be better.

  • 1.Learners have to be at the center of what happens in the classroom
  • 2. Learning is a social practice and can’t happen alone

  • The textbook, The lecturer and the classroom are three pillars of modern-day schooling that date back hundreds of years.
  • There’s just one catch – these problems don’t exist anymore. In the 21st Century, the Internet has ushered in an online learning environment where information is abundant, teachers are plentiful and learning is global.
  • To put it simply – we need new pillars for learning.

  • Pillar #1: “I’m only one of my students’ teachers, but I’m the most important because I teach them to connect to all the others.” Implication area: Instruction
  • Pillar #2: “My students should learn from me how to learn without me.” Implication area: Curriculum
  • Pillar #3: “My students’ knowledge lies not only in their minds but in their networks.” Implication area: Assessment

  • Blogging Teachers competent in WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and other free, popular blogging platforms have an excellent (and paperless!) tool at their disposal
  • Social media: Social media doesn’t have to worm its way into assignments to prove itself educationally valuable. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn burst with teachers and other academic professionals chattering about ideas, strategies, resources and tools.
  • Interclassroom communication: More and more, teachers turn to Skype, Cisco and other communication tools to connect with other schools worldwide. Why set up international pen pals when technology allows kids to interact almost literally face to face?
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Cultural literacy: Cultural literacy has always been a desired skill in teachers abroad and living in multiethnic domestic regions.
  • Socratic seminar:
  • Community engagement:
  • Information literacy: Seeing as how information literacy is considered integral to student success, schools have little use for teachers without the relevant skills.
  • Networking: A networking teacher is, ostensibly, an open teacher.

  • 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.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • 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 soldier
  • Learning for a worker is about compliance.
  • Our education system currently does a very good job of creating workers.
  • The worker needs to remember things without understanding them.
  • They are the defenders of memory.
  • It is what Wynton Marsalis calls ‘being the thing itself’
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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

  • “Driveby teaching” happens when teachers talk while moving around the room without taking the time to see that the children make the right connections with the words being used.
