    what a typical day would look like at the NLC.  One big advantage of this program will be the integrated approach to the curriculum.  The learning outcomes from the grade 8 and/or grade 9 curriculums will be identified and over the course of the school year students will be covering the entire grade curriculum through practice and application in their project work.

    Comprehensive reporting involves assessing students using three standards: established, emerging and developing. This style of reporting has been used at the elementary school level for some time. But when students reach junior high, most jurisdictions switch to letter grades or marks.

    basic criteria - a completed application, have a laptop computer or other tablet like device, (assistance is available to those students that are unable to afford their own) and best fit based on grade level, interests, maturity, ability to show interests. The school will have a committee that will go through applications.

  • They need a librarian more than ever (to figure out creative ways to find and use data). They need a library not at all.
  • Librarians that are arguing and lobbying for clever ebook lending solutions are completely missing the point. They are defending library as warehouse as opposed to fighting for the future, which is librarian as producer, concierge, connector, teacher and impresario.
  • Post-Gutenberg, the scarce resource is knowledge and insight, not access to data.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The next library is a house for the librarian with the guts to invite kids in to teach them how to get better grades while doing less grunt work. And to teach them how to use a soldering iron or take apart something with no user servicable parts inside. And even to challenge them to teach classes on their passions, merely because it's fun. This librarian takes responsibility/blame for any kid who manages to graduate from school without being a first-rate data shark.
  • The next library is filled with so many web terminals there's always at least one empty. And the people who run this library don't view the combination of access to data and connections to peers as a sidelight--it's the entire point.

  • Face-to-Face + Synchronous Conversations + Asynchronous Interactions = Strong Online Learning Environment
  • I met with the representatives of three of the major competitors of learning managements systems for schools and tried out each interface. Each permitted transparency for parents. Each permitted me to create a bulletin board of sorts where I could load recorded lessons, upload videos, provide assigned links for homework, create a dropbox for my own handouts, post grades, receive assignments, email, etc. Pretty cool; but not enough.
  • What was missing was my own interaction with the students.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • you need to purchase additional programs in order to benefit from the grown-ups in the community.
  • I am a huge believer in distance learning and the power of online tools, but I deeply believe that by sending the message that real-time teachers are only needed as a luxurious plug-in and not a fundamental fixture of this next educational chapter, we are doing a disservice to our students and the quality of these growing programs.
  • 5 Components Needed for a Blended Learning Model
  • Dave Truss on 18 May 11
     
    The fact is that there is a purpose in protecting a level of F2F and real-time interaction even in an online program. In education, the components of online and F2F are stronger together than apart. The power is in a Blended Learning equation: Face-to-Face + Synchronous Conversations + Asynchronous Interactions = Strong Online Learning Environment
