Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! | Video on TED.com - 4 views

  • The fundamental shift that Sir Ken is talking about is more similar to discovery based education. Just like google which allows its employees to use 20% of their time to pursue any pet project, I think the education system should have 20% time free time for kids to to pursue any idea or vision or dream maybe within school or outside the school. This is one way to balance the rigid structure of the current learning against total flexible system where its easy for kids to be lost without learning some valuable knowledge. So the main question is should we allow 20-25% of time as free time to pursue their dream ? I think it is yes

Education Week Teacher: Teaching the iGeneration: It's About Verbs, Not Tools - 1 views

  • "It's not about the tools, Bill," Sheryl pushed back. "It's about the behaviors that the tools enable."
  • we need to spend our time and energy focusing on the kinds of essential skills that students can polish, explore, and master with the help of tech-driven learning experiences.
  • most schools are investing their professional-development technology budget in training teachers to use computers for non-instructional purposes even though new tools allow for a significant shift in pedagogy.

  • Moving learning forward, then, begins by introducing teachers to ways in which digital tools can be used to encourage higher-order thinking and innovative instruction across the curriculum
  • today’s students can be inspired by technology to ponder, imagine, reflect, analyze, memorize, recite, and create—but only after we build a bridge between what they know about new tools and what we know about good teaching.
  • As a result, schools sprint in new digital directions with little thought, spending thousands on technology before carefully defining the kinds of learning that they value most. The consequences are high-tech classrooms delivering meaningless, low-level instructional experiences
  • Instead of recognizing that tomorrow’s professions will require workers who are intellectually adept—able to identify bias, manage huge volumes of information, persuade, create, and adapt—teachers and district technology leaders wrongly believe that tomorrow’s professions will require workers who know how to blog, use wikis, or create podcasts.
  • refocusing our instructional attention requires a dedicated effort to separate nouns from verbs in conversations about teaching with technology
  • Verbs are the kinds of knowledge-driven, lifelong skills that teachers know matter: thinking critically, persuading peers, presenting information in an organized and convincing fashion. Nouns are the tools that students use to practice those skills
  • five skills that I believe define the most successful individuals: The ability to communicate effectively, the ability to manage information, the ability to use the written word to persuade audiences, the ability to use images to persuade audiences, and the ability to solve problems collaboratively.
