    A big study by TNTP on teachers' professional development basically conceding defeat on helping teachers improve their classroom practice, especially once teachers pass the 5 year mark of experience. Sounds to me like the measures they are using to evaluate teacher improvement are too big and inflated so that individual progress cannot be observed much less evaluated for effectiveness from a reliable starting point. The other problem seems to be in recruiting teachers who are good to start off with.

  • Algorithms have become one of the most powerful arbiters in our lives. They make decisions about the news we read, the jobs we get, the people we meet, the schools we attend and the ads we see. Yet there is growing evidence that algorithms and other types of software can discriminate.
  • The people who write them incorporate their biases, and algorithms often learn from human behavior, so they reflect the biases we hold.

  • The tech world is notoriously resistant to regulation, but do you believe it might be necessary to ensure fairness in algorithms? Yes, just as regulation currently plays a role in certain contexts, such as advertising jobs and extending credit.
  • Should computer science education include lessons on how to be aware of these issues and the various approaches to addressing them? Absolutely!

  • The self-confident founders of Kreditech lend money through the Internet: short-term mini-loans of up to €500, with the average customer receiving €109. Instead of requiring credit information from their customers, they determine the probability of default on their own, using a social scoring method that consists of high-speed data analysis. "Ideally, the money should be in customers' accounts within 15 minutes of approval.
  • Kreditech also requires access to Facebook profiles, so that it can verify whether a user's photo and location match information on other social networking sites, like Xing and LinkedIn -- and whether his or her friends include many with similar education levels or many colleagues working in the same company.
  • All of this increases the likelihood that Kreditech is dealing with a real person.

Why Your Department Needs Social Media - Advice - The Chronicle of Higher Education - 0 views

  • Social media is crucial not only because it provides a fast way to share information, but also because it makes faculty workloads more transparent.
  • What’s also crucial about Facebook and Twitter is that they make clear the fact that faculty workloads stretch beyond teaching. Announcements of the talks we give, the articles we write, the exhibits we organize, the fellowships we win, and our media appearances emphasize that some of us work on contracts in which about half of our time is supposed to be devoted to research.

  • It is, essentially a closed messaging service. Messages can be organized according to channels using hashtags, and team members can also direct message each other, or create closed categories for only certain members working on a particular problem. The app is cloud-based, so it can live simultaneously on your smart phone and desktop as well as the web.

    "Updated February 2013 Adopted by the NCTE Executive Committee, February 15, 2008  Literacy has always been a collection of cultural and communicative practices shared among members of particular groups. As society and technology change, so does literacy. Because technology has increased the intensity and complexity of literate environments, the 21st century demands that a literate person possess a wide range of abilities and competencies, many literacies. These literacies are multiple, dynamic, and malleable. As in the past, they are inextricably linked with particular histories, life possibilities, and social trajectories of individuals and groups. Active, successful participants in this 21st century global society must be able to Develop proficiency and fluency with the tools of technology; Build intentional cross-cultural connections and relationships with others so to pose and solve problems collaboratively and strengthen independent thought; Design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes; Manage, analyze, and synthesize multiple streams of simultaneous information; Create, critique, analyze, and evaluate multimedia texts; Attend to the ethical responsibilities required by these complex environments."

National Assessment of Adult Literacy (NAAL) - Definition of Literacy - 0 views

    "NAAL defines literacy as both task-based and skills-based. The task-based definition of literacy, used in both the 1992 and 2003 assessments, focuses on the everyday literacy tasks an adult can and cannot perform. The 2003 NAAL adds a complementary skills-based definition of literacy that focuses on the knowledge and skills an adult must possess in order to perform these tasks. These skills range from basic, word-level skills (such as recognizing words) to higher level skills (such as drawing appropriate inferences from continuous text). New information provided by the 2003 NAAL is intended to improve understanding of the skill differences between adults who are able to perform relatively challenging literacy tasks and those who are not."

  • How you gain followers
  • How you engage with followers – will you be producing content which can spark discussion, or will you be curating content? You should consider too how many times you post a promotional post as opposed to an educational/fun one. We’re so accustomed to marketing messages now that these go right over the heads of our followers if they’re posted too often, so do bear this in mind.

    Although from 2006, this is an interesting take on preparing students to really engage in online discussion. The faculty, Edward J. Gallagher, creates scaffolds for student engagement principles and practice, has students read the course constitution, and structures the course around the discussion vs. content.
