    Students definitely need to understand that their movements, accounts, and online behavior create an identity.  As we arm our students with digital tools, are we also arming them with information on how to stay safe?

  • there’s a disparity between what principals expect from new hires and what teachers-in-training are learning.
  • Sixty-eight percent of teachers-in-training report they rely most heavily on field placements to learn about how to integrate technology into the classroom. They also watch their professors and take advice from peers.
  • Tracey Kracht on 23 Mar 13
     
    This is an interesting article about new teachers entering the field and what principals are expecting they are learning and bringing to the workplace in terms of technology integration.  Interestingly, when digital students are taught using 'old' methods, they are not much more prepared than veteran teachers to integrate technology....although they may be less fearful as they personally use many more digital tools.

    More reasons students can/should blog!  Note how other 'things' can be embedded into blogs.  In this instance, you will see popplet, but you could embed other concept map tools like padlet, or voice/video sources as well to make it more multi-media.

  • These aren’t single tools to “try,” but news ways to think about how learners access media, how educators define success, and what the roles of immense digital communities should be in popularizing new learning models.
  • None of it is really complicated—it just requires new thinking.
  • This occurs simply through crowdsourced knowledge

      I find this article interesting considering this is what we are seeing with the online students in Clay-Platte.  Online classes have to find a way to connect with students via technology to give the 'face-to-face' feeling.  Many of our students indicated that they haven't seen their teacher and don't know who they are.

      I do think we need to consider the classes that see all ie: freshman, sophomore...and find ways to scaffold helping students learn how to 'survive' in the digital world to keep up their organization, etc.
  • less than 10 percent of college students were taking at least one class online in 2003, nearly one-third of college students are now taking at least one of their courses online

      Sounds like a great idea, but how does this happen?  It makes me think about the levels of questioning we are considering with rigor and relevance...

  • 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.

      This is a very interesting opportunity to have students really think in a different way.
  • establish clear rules for voicing different perspectives
  • begin leveraging your students’ critical-thinking skills in the classroom
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Questioning is at the heart of critical thinking,
  • Pose a provocative question to build an argument around and help your students break it down
  • best way to teach that is to model.
  • uses a “devil’s advocate” card that he secretly gives to a student before each discussion, charging him or her with the role of bringing up opposing views.
  • It can be hard for a teacher to let go of the reins and let the students do the teaching.

      This is a great way to keep students grounded in what they are supposed to be learning.  It's also a powerful reminder that students need to "own" the learning goals.
  • Have students set aside specific times to consider digital feedback.
  • It commits the learner to 25 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes to consider social media feedback and e-mail. This can balance production and conversation.

      This is really key!  In the job world, we all have to find effective ways to balance productivity with the constant stream of emails, tweets, etc.  Should we be teaching our students how to achieve this balance as well?

      This is definitely something we need to consider when working with students in the digital transformation program.  There are times when they need to just focus on a project and get something done instead of bouncing from piece to piece.  Good food for thought!

  • 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.
