Why We Need a Moratorium on Meaningless Note-Taking - Getting Smart by Susan Lucille Da... - 0 views

  • 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
       
      This is so true.  Reminds of the idea that students should be able to make notes, not just take notes. 
    • Tracey Kracht
       
      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
       
      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?
    • Sara Wickham
       
      These are great questions!

  • 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
       
      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.
    • Sara Wickham
       
      Great ideas here on how note-taking can become more meaningful in a digital world.

Benefits of Being a Connected Educator - EdTechReview™ (ETR) - 0 views

  • Students live and will work in an increasingly highly connected and collaborative world, and we have to understand what this means for learning, working, and living in order to provide a more personal, self-directed and more effective learning environment for the students.
    • April Adams
       
      Reason enough to do it! 
  • Increased exposure to more diverse ideas, learning experiences and techniques. Increased networking which helps educators to know other educators and their practices across the world. It provides educators with opportunities to collaborate on a variety of research, projects, techniques for teaching and more. It allows educators to stay up to date with all the current things happening in educational organizations all over the world. Educators can easily learn about the best practices for teaching globally and share them with others. It keeps their literacy flowing and evolving on the tools of 21st century . Educators can make their students experience high-quality virtual classes (with MOOCs) and blended classes where learning occurs even outside the schools. Through this educators can make masses of people understand the relevance of education that students are receiving presently and how they can make positive amends to it.

  • This will create for you a ‘Personal Learning Network’ (PLN).
    • April Adams
       
      Goal in the CE series?
  • Taking the connections and turning them into lessons that can impact students is really one of the keys to being a connected educator.
    • April Adams
       
      Great way for teachers who are struggling to see the validity of the connectivity.
  • Since educators can reach out and connect with educators from all over the world, they will witness a wonderful change in their teaching that will make a positive impact on their students.
    • April Adams
       
      Could the PLN plan to be make a connection with  1. someone outside of this district teaching your content. 2. someone outside of this state teaching your content. 3. a professional whose research you believe in?
  • The ‘connected educator’ is not just a reader or viewer, but an active participant in ongoing discussions and planning efforts.
