    Nice Slideshare by Lyn Ross. teacher, of New Zealand, September 2013. Slide 9/29 distinguishes between 18th 19th 20th centuries and 21st century on learning and teaching focus (teacher led vs. student centered), approach (content driven vs. process driven), emphasis (knowing that vs. knowing how), and teacher role (expert and boss contrasted with fellow learner and facilitator). Are you the sage on the stage or the guide on the side?

How Dropping Screen Time Rules Can Fuel Extraordinary Learning - - 0 views

  •  
    Article on how the idea that screens are bad for kids is out dated, but deeply entrenched. Instead of screen time hours, using apps such as Rescue Time, which tracks time spent on specific applications and websites, leads to discussions on time management and productivity. Citing studies on digital parenting by Alicia Blum-Ross and Sonia Livingstone, focusing on context, content, and connections is a better way to engage with kids. The article goes on to list strategies on how to do this. Linked to this from Bron Stuckey's FB page.

Teachers May Be Ceding Too Much Control in Quest for Student-Centered Learning - Teachi... - 0 views

  • Not that this was necessarily the takeaway from a recent interview that the OECD Education Today blog did with economist Tyler Cowen, but still: 'There are two things people need to learn how to do to be employable at a decent wage: first, learn some skills which complement the computer rather than compete against it. Some of these are technical skills, but a lot of them will be soft skills, like marketing, persuasion, and management that computers won't be able to do any time soon.' Cowen, a professor at George Mason University, in Va., is more focused on higher education than K-12, but the teaching of soft skills has become a big factor in discussions of college and career readiness. As important as soft skills, though, Cowen said, is the ability of people to be able to learn new things, especially without the formal structure of school to support them: 'Twenty to thirty years from now, we'll all be doing different things. So people who are very good at teaching themselves, regardless of what their formal background is, will be the big winners.'

4 Online Survey Tools for Companies - 0 views

  •  
    nice quick assessment by Ross Beard but hardly unbiased, he recommends Client Heartbeat (whom he writes for) and Google Forms (free, no competitor to Client Heartbeat because of challenge of using and limits)--5 points each--of Survey Monkey, Survey Gizmo, Client Heartbeat, and Google Forms. Still useful though.
