Formal and Informal Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Malcolm Knowles is generally considered to be the originator of the term "informal learning" through his book published in 1970: Informal Adult Education: A Guide for Administrators, Leaders, and Teachers. Allen Tough was probably the first to really study how adults use informal learning.

We can't let educators off the hook | Dangerously Irrelevant - 0 views

  • I think most teachers don’t even realize that there’s a decision to be made. It’s not a matter of choosing the red pill or the blue pill… if you don’t know that there are even two pills available as options
  • Every day that I present for educators, I have a greater appreciate for how distorted the view is as seen through the eyes of a typical EduBlogger.
  • Rather, it's that their priorities don't always line up with those of other progressive educators in and out of the blogosphere.

  • You can’t ‘firmly believe in life-long learning’ and simultaneously not be clued in to the largest transformation in learning that ever has occurred in human history. Those two don’t co-exist. Being a ‘life-long learner’ is not ignoring what’s going on around you; you don’t get to claim the title of ‘effective educator’ if you do this.
  • Changing inertia into momentum, not waiting for someone to hand us the answer, taking responsibility ourselves rather than blaming others for our own inactivity - that’s what life-long learners do. That’s what effective educators do. That’s what we owe our children.
  • t’s not about us. It’s not about our personal or professional priorities and preferences, our discomfort levels, or any of that other stuff that has to do with us. It’s about our students: our children and our youth who deserve at the end of their schooling experience to be prepared for the world in which they’re going to live and work and think and play and be. That’s the obligation of each and every one of us. No educator gets to disown this.

SpeEdChange: If school isn't for collaborating, why does anyone come? - 0 views

  • 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.
