  • Technology is a false god, unlikely to do much for children unless schools focus on learning and make huge investments in professional development.
  • The question is one of purpose and skill
  • new technologies only improve learning when a school makes professional development a priority

  • Teachers must have a chance to see how these technologies can support different kinds of thinking, creation and expression. Pedagogy and strategy are paramount, the technologies secondary.

    This is a really good reminder and addition to the conversation the coaches were having the other night.  Technology is great...but what are we doing differently?  That is a question we all must ponder as we walk down this digital path.

      I still would like to see what the outer circle would look like if the students were on Today's Meet - discussing in real-time what is happening in the inner circle.  That is a group I want to help dissect the thinking while it is occurring.  It would be a great way to model and help students stay engaged.
  • So challenge them to communicate back to you.

      Perhaps this is where video comes in - they can communicate either face-to-face or process and then submit commentary electronically.  One way is not better than the other and you need both to be successful in life.

  • If none of it is ever real to them, if it’s only in books, it lacks interest
  • Blameworthy failure is when the student just decided not to participate in a project. But praiseworthy failure is quite different: kids take risks and experiments knowing that they might not get it right the first time.
  • The less educators try to control what kids learn, the more students’ voices will be heard
  • Get them curious enough in the subject to do research on their own.

note-taking 21st Century Skills

shared by Tracey Kracht on 07 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Instead, students should be learning note-taking as a way of organizing data and curating information they need for a defined purpose.  Students should sift and cull, summarize and synthesize. Students should learn how to take notes in ways that correlate with real-life situations. Finally, students should master the skill of making meaning from their notes and finding the best ways to share that meaning with others.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      This is so true.  Reminds of the idea that students should be able to make notes, not just take notes. 
    • Tracey Kracht
      Tracey Kracht on 09 Sep 13
       
      Absolutely agree - this is so important! Simple strategies would be really great for taking time to have students think and add to their notes.
  • When does our note-taking have a real purpose? When we are collecting field notes, listening to a webinar or YouTube training video, scanning a book for nuggets of wisdom. When we attend workshops or conferences, or even when we meet someone for a networking lunch.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      These are great examples of why we take notes in the professional world.  These would be great examples to share with students.
  • What are the actual skills students need in order to organize the vast amounts of information they must cull through to make meaning and solve problems? Is note-taking from the Internet, from Twitter, or from texts really a different kind of animal? Won’t students buy into the note-taking process if they understand that it matters for something more than spitting back a professor’s lecture notes that haven’t changed in the last twenty years?

  • I have a theory that teachers do this because students refuse to read the boring textbook (another issue), so the teacher digests it for them and then conducts a forced walk through the material. Many teachers, unfortunately, think this is what they are supposed to do; sadly, they think it’s what teaching really is.
    • Sara Wickham
      Sara Wickham on 07 Mar 13
       
      How often do we do the thinking for our students?
  • But at the very least, such notes should include hyperlinks, should be posted in a shared digital space, and should be open to amendment and annotation by the students themselves.
  • Likewise, we need to think of note-taking as something more than the traditional Cornell style. Note-taking should include brainstormed lists, diagrams and drawings, photographs, and other artifacts of learning. We should rethink note-taking not as outlined material for the test, but as blogs, wikis, backchannels, discussion forums, and status updates. The form of the notes should suit their purpose; the tool for taking the notes should do so as well.

Why Should We Connect Students? - 0 views

  • teachers seem to be happy when students publish their work for purposes of grading, but don’t do anything with it afterwards. I think we’re seeing symptoms of what I call “The Keillor Effect” coined by Garrison Keillor in this quote:  “I think that book publishing is about to slide into the sea. We live in a literate time, and our children are writing up a storm, often combining letters and numbers…. The future of publishing: 18 million authors in America, each with an average of 14 readers, eight of whom are blood relatives. Average annual earnings: $175.”

      I love the idea of challenging ourselves to think about how we can think about publishing and its ramification beyond just points in the grade book.
  • As a warm up in the beginning of class, I took standards and turned them into the following questions: Could you use the work that this group to solve a similar problem? Give an example. What problem strategies did this group use when solving this problem. Can you suggest another? Did the makers of this video “leave out a step” or go into “too much” detail? Explain. Can you suggest a different approach to solving this problem? Did this help you learn? Why or why not was this effective or ineffective?

      I love the idea of giving students prompts based on the standards for adding comments to blogs.  This could be done on a class blog or other public blogs that students are engaging with as part of the content.
