elearnspace › Collective Intelligence? Nah. Connective Intelligence - 0 views

    "He makes the point that people do not think together in coming to certain conclusions, but rather than people think on their own and the value of the collaborative comes in the connection and combination of ideas. Each person retains their own identity and ideas, but they are shaped and influenced by the work of others. The concept here is related somewhat to Stephen Downes' discussion of groups vs. networks. At stake in these discussions (Surowiecki, Downes, de Kerchove) is how we are to perceive the individual in a world where the collaborative/collective is increasingly valued. Collective intelligence places the collective first. Connective intelligence places the individual node first."

Polyphonic Teaching with Digital Learning Tools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • To understand the framework, it is important to be aware that no form of teaching per se is better than the others. When the teacher plans her teaching, she must choose which of the three forms she wants to practice, based on pedagogical reflections on educational philosophy, the overall purpose of education, the learning objectives and the teacher's and students' prerequisites.
  • In the polyphonic form, the objective is for students and teachers to gain mutual understanding and knowledge through dialogue and collaboration where both parties act as co-learners.
  • Communication within this form of teaching thus becomes polyphonic, and is initiated and controlled by both teacher and students.
  •  
    "assess whether a digital tool is suitable for a monological, dialogical or polyphonic form of teaching. "

  • Research shows that professional learning can have a powerful effect on teacher skills and knowledge and on student learning. To be effective, however, it must be sustained, focused on important content, and embedded in the work of collaborative professional learning teams that support ongoing improvements in teachers’ practice and student achievement.
  • the type of support and on-the-job training most teachers receive is episodic, often fragmented, and disconnected from real problems of practice.
  • Most states and districts are still not providing the kind of professional learning that research suggests improves teaching practice and student outcomes,”

  • Workshop overload. Research shows that professional development should not be approached in isolation as the traditional “flavor of the month” or one-shot workshop but go hand-in-hand with school improvement efforts. The report finds that teachers still take a heavy dose of workshops and do not receive effective learning opportunities in many areas in which they want help.
  • But fewer than half found the professional development they received in other areas, such as classroom management, to be of much value, despite the fact that they want more support in this area.

      Seems to me that coaching would be what teachers need. Implementing a structured coaching program would help this situation.
