    So it may come as a surprise that according to a 2010 study, only 66.5% of students take notes. And of those students, there is often no structure or strategy.

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.

      This is so true.  Reminds of the idea that students should be able to make notes, not just take notes.

      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.

      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.

      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.

  • 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.
