The Chapter 18 Project | Thomas L. Friedman - 0 views

  • As I put it in the book: “In some ways, the subprime mortgage mess and housing crisis are metaphors for what has come over America in recent years: A certain connection between hard work, achievement, and accountability has been broken. We’ve become a subprime nation that thinks it can just borrow its way to prosperity..."

      You see evidence of this all the times - just watch TV commercials. Companies always offer interest free, until ... or no down payments ... this is encouraging to "buy" things they have not worked hard for. For something like a house, borrowing money is reasonable, as long as your taste in homes matches what you can pay off. It is not economically responsible to buy thousands of dollars of new furniture just because you don't have to pay until 2012, knowing that you will not be able to pay it off in time.

    The author of "Flat, hot, and crowded" continues his discussion with the readers in what is titled 'Chapter 18.' In true web 2.0 fashion he encourages the readers to become the writers with frequent posts requesting response. He plans on using the best posts to create the real Chapter 18 for the second edition of his book.

    Great resources for teachers - some are free, some have a small fee, some are pricey. But at least you're paying a teacher!

    The Center for Teaching History with Technology is a great tool that uses resources that we have worked with in this course including Google Docs, Wikis, blogs, and more. The Social Studies resources include games, activities, plans, and mores. While I am not an educator, I think it is important to implement these types of tools in the classroom.

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • "If you're in higher education and you're developing a strategic plan or making investment decisions based on conversations you're having with the students currently in your classrooms--or even high school students--you're talking to the wrong audience," she warns. "You really need to be talking to third-graders. The high school kid applying to your school today is just not as 'native' as the kids further down the pike."

Four Pillars of Technology Integration | nashworld - 0 views

  • Think transformation of the way teaching and learning is done in your district, as opposed to integration into it as it exists.
    • L Butler
       
      The success comes when new lessons are created creatively utilizing the technology. It feels awkward when technology is just tacked on to an old lesson - just so there is technology.
  • Learn what they learn.
    • L Butler
       
      Unless people learn / play with the technology, they can not possibly understand the potential power in the classroom.
  • The fourth pillar of “instructional model” is more than a quick soundbyte allows.  I see three levels of this notion with increasing value as follows:  1) You have thought about and encouraged good instructional practices in your building/district.  2) You have a well-articulated plan for effective instructional practice that is building or districtwide.  3)  You have a true learner-centered instructional model in place in grades K-12 that credits the constructivist nature of human learning.

      Love the wording of this ... sadly it is so true
  • At this point, the vast majority of school systems are behind the curve in this area.  Being this far behind might just have one distinct advantage.  If there is no way to see any of the individual trees in a forest, you are likely going to be forced to start your mission with a whole-forest view to begin with. 
  • You don’t need a flashlight.  It’s not that dark in there anymore.  Trust that there are others who have proceeded down this path before you, and they have learned many important lessons.  Collaborate.  Learn from their successes and failures.  Do not go it alone. 
  • Ask yourself: what can we do with these new tools available today that we couldn’t do before?  If we could remake our curriculum any way we wanted, how would we do it? 
  • All systems need what I will call an “innovation engine.”  Whatever the system, whatever the setup, schools and school systems need pockets of sponsored innovation.
  • Soon after access is all around you, it doesn’t even feel like “technology,” it just feels like the way things are done.  This is a good thing, for when technology becomes invisible, we can finally focus on the value added from new uses of these tools. 
  • So where does all of this leave you?  How many of these pillars have been already constructed around you?  What have you done to help in that construction? 
  •  
    Interesting blog which addresses technology integration from the perspectives of all the parties involved - admins, technology coaches, teachers, students, etc. Worth the reading.

    Doesn't sound like the feds plan to do anything too soon to advance digital learning in the near future. SAD! What about having grants BEFORE kids drop out of school. Be proactive instead of reactive!

100 Best Social Sites for Students, Academics and Educators | Associate Degree - Facts and Information - 0 views

  • Educators Social networking has certainly made students’ lives easier. Students share homework, notes and test information before teachers and school administrators even know about it. Grade books and lesson plans have been digital for a while but teachers (much like older people in general) have been slower to visit social sites. These social sites for teachers are going to change some outdated thinking.
