    This is a good site for improptu meetings (chat only) that need to be set up in a hurry. Some teams may want to use it, if only part of the team has access to other synchronous meeting tools (Skype is blocked at some institutions, I think).

Forget grade levels: Schools try something new | Curriculum | eSchoolNews.com - 0 views

  • Students who progress quickly can finish high school material early and move forward with college coursework. Alternatively, in some districts, high-schoolers who need extra time can stick around for another year.
  • Students, often of varying ages, will work at their own pace, meeting with teachers to decide what part of the curriculum to tackle. Teachers still will instruct students as a group if needed, but often students will be working individually or in small groups on projects that are tailored to their skill level.
  • During the first two weeks of school, pre-K to sixth grade students in five schools will take reading and math assessments to determine their mastery level. The students then will be leveled and moved into groups according to their abilities,

    What do you think of the idea that classes should be set up according to skills, not age?

Weblogg-ed » What Does "Getting It" Mean, Anyway? - 4 views

  • Each year at the GLEF meeting, George Lucas spends about 45 minutes with us talking about education and answering our questions. What he said this year was in that Level 3 area. To paraphrase, schools as we know them are going away. Not that we won’t still have physical spaces and teachers, but that the way we do school is going to have to change, will be actually forced to change by the Web and other technologies. That the questions we should be asking (and these are the ones I got listening to him talk, not words out of his mouth) are should we still be sorting kids by age or by discipline? How do we truly individualize instruction around kids’ interests and passions? How do we redefine the school day? What do we really want to assess and how do we assess it? Why should we bring kids together for physical space learning when much of what they can now learn doesn’t require it?

    This is an interesting comment by George Lucas (as quoted by Will Richardson in his blog) on how education is being changed by social networking via the Internet.
