    "Online classes are easy to understand. You can move onto the next thing much faster," Christianne says. "I have a friend in regular public school who says that they like FLVS courses better because they don't have to wait around for the other students to get it - or get frustrated when they don't get it themselves. But it's not easier because it's of a lower quality. The better quality makes it easier."

Seth's Blog: The future of the library - 0 views

  • 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.

    I do think it works for any type of kid. People always say, 'It has to be for the highly motivated.' No. That is our job as teachers. I don't care if you're a virtual or a brick-and-mortar teacher. We all have to help motivate our students across the board to be an effective instructor.

  • Stage 7: Creation Activities: plan, make, create, innovate, originate, construct, produce, invent, direct, program... Bloom's taxonomy was developed during a time when the tools, pedagogy and social impetus for students to create original work were rather weak. Thus the highest rung in the Bloom ladder was evaluation. Fast forward to the digital age, when creativity tools are abundant, and the new ISTE standards promote innovation and creativity figure prominenty, and the ability to create becomes an important high end cognitive function. This applies to all phases of media development.
  • Stage 8: Publication, presentation Activities: show, publish, present, communication... This is a direct result of Stage 7: Create. In the digital age, creativity does not happen in a vacuum. Presentation is very much about creating student work with an expectation of audience. Doing so raises quality standards, and expectations of public involvement. Again, in Bloom's time, there was very little opportunity for public involvement in terms of seeing or evaluating student work. Now, the venues for showing work on the web are copious, international and flexibile in terms of the kind of work they facilitate, including text, video, images, media collages and so on. This directly correlates with Phase V of media production.

    For those not familiar with Edmodo, in a nutshell it is a microblogging system designed specifically for teachers and students. Using Edmodo teachers can create a microblogging network for their classes. Edmodo allows teachers to create a group specifically for their students and exclude those not invited to the group. Edmodo provides teachers with a place to post assignment reminders, build an event calendar, and post messages to the group. Just as with any good microblogging service users can share links, videos, and images.

    A culture of critical collaboration reframes the concept of failure. In the design studio, mini "failures" are endemic--but they are known by less pejorative names: prototyping, modeling, tinkering, discovery. The real secret of design is that (shh!) we never get it right the first time.

    While there is an obvious range of student-centered models of education, Barraket lays out the common understanding of student-centered teaching as being a process where students are given more autonomy and control over: * the choice of subject matter * the pace of learning * the learning methods used Contrasted with the central notion of student-centered classrooms, that students should have greater autonomy over the subjects matter and pace they choose to study, I've recently been impacted by the notion of "liberating constraints"

  • By making the students ultimately accountable for their learning, the students remain the active constructors of their knowledge rather than passive recipients of some other’s knowledge.

  • 1. Teacher-advisors take an active role in the goal setting and monitoring of student progress. In getting to know their advisees’ needs, interests and academic and personal history, the teacher advisor becomes a student advocate.
  • 2. Subject area specialists develop learning guides which are the first level of engagement between students and the content of the subject areas. Learning guides lay out suggested learning activities in which students may become involved in order to meet course objectives.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 3. Instructional assistants are non-certified personnel (see Differentiated Staffing) who possess expertise and training in a subject area field. They offer one-to-one assistance to students in their area of expertise.

  • the student learns how to learn.
  • there is no master schedule. Instead the teacher advisors and students, in consultation with the parents, design a schedule that meets the student’s unique interests and needs.
  • The teacher advisor of these students is charged with the responsibility of helping them balance their out-of school commitments with in-school expectations to facilitate a successful realization of all of their goals.
  • Individualized control of their learning keeps them accountable for their learning. However, the input of the teacher advisor in the construction of the schedule gives the student the security that the process is overseen by someone who really cares. 
  • Independent study and individualized instruction are strengthened through continuous progress. Simply put, continuous progress insures that students have open access to all learning activities at any time throughout their high school career.

    Teacher advisors are given considerable time in their regularly scheduled day to fulfil their role. Teachers, on average, spend about one and one-half hours in their individual offices meeting with their advisees

    A walk through the new Inquiry Hub in Coquitlam is a bit like walking into a school of the future even through it's located in historic Maillardville and the school is more than 100 years old. There are few desks, and those there are on wheels. Project tables line walls topped with with fish tanks and bits of other projects, and kids sit together or work alone on laptop computers while listening to music on headphones. While Inquiry Hub isn't for everyone, it is worth exploring for any student who is looking for a more self-directed style of learning.
