  •  
    "Educational Origami is a blog and a wiki, about 21st Century Teaching and Learning. "This wiki is not just about the integration of technology into the classroom, though this is certainly a critical area, it is about shifting our educational paradigm. The world is not as simple as saying teachers are digital immigrants and students digital natives. In fact, we know that exposure to technology changes the brains of those exposed to it. The longer and stronger the exposure and the more intense the emotions the use of the technology or its content evokes, the more profound the change. This technology is increasingly ubiquitous. We have to change how we teach, how we assess, what we teach, when we teach it, where we are teaching it, and with what." A most interesting site that tells us what the learner needs to know.

Education Week: Cyber Students Taught the Value of Social Skills - 0 views

  • Socialization of students is education in itself,”
  • Many cyber schools regularly use social-networking tools in their online classes and are also moving to incorporate some face-to-face interaction into their classes
  • The ubiquitous use of tools such as Skype, a free Web-based videoconferencing service, and webcams let students see their peers and their teachers, even in cyberspace.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Polling of parents often shows that socialization is a key concern
  • “The Big Think” as an alternative to Facebook, the popular social-networking site that causes angst for many brick-and-mortar schools over online bullying that can spill over from the site into school hallways. The Big Think is a closed social-networking site open only to K12 Inc., students and their parents
  • cyber students were rated significantly higher by both parents and students themselves in various areas of social skills, though teacher ratings for those students did not differ significantly from those for students in traditional public schools. Problem behaviors among online students, as rated by the parents, teachers, and students themselves, were either significantly lower or not significantly different when compared with national norms.
  • The quality of the online program is a factor in socialization, as is the type of student enrolling, she said
  • For a student already lacking in socialization in a traditional school setting, online education could be even more isolating. And for low-achieving students taking online classes, Ms. Minke said, families may not be as involved as they need to be to ensure their children are “academically progressing and to monitor their social development.”
  • From a larger, societal perspective, she said, online students may not be exposed to the diverse viewpoints or communities they might see in a regular school.
  • I’d worry that [online students] might not have the diversity of positive adult role models.”
  • Adding a layer of socialization to cyber school can make the difference in a student’s experience.
  • “This gives them the opportunity to collaborate on their work or mingle and become more invested in the educational process,
  • “We want to build a student-student relationship as well as a relationship with a teacher,”

Education Week Teacher: How Teachers Can Build Emotional Resilience - 0 views

  • "I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather."
  • in order to forge on I needed to learn more about managing my emotions. While our working conditions need to be improved, that will take time. In the interim, we can change how we experience the stress; we can increase our emotional resilience. I suspect that if I did, I’d be more effective and feel better.
  • Emotional resilience is defined as how you roll with the punches, how you handle and adapt to stressful situations. Emotionally resilient people understand what they’re feeling and why.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Our emotions are fundamental to our ability to be effective, and there’s unanimous consent that our jobs are stressful.
  • As I explored this concept, what seemed critical was the notion that emotional resilience can be developed
  • They persevere and believe that they are in control of their lives, and they are optimistic and believe in their own strength.
  • 1. Have personal values that guide their decision-making.
  • Resilient teachers:
  • If I was the education czar, I would mandate that everyone working in schools have one component of their professional development—and a certain number of hours per year and minutes per meeting—allocated to developing emotional resiliency. If we really are going to transform our system, we need to start by attending to people’s emotional experiences and well-being.
  • 2. Place a high value on professional development and actively seek it out.
  • 3. Mentor others.
  • 4. Take charge and solve problems.
  • 5. Stay focused on children and their learning.
  • 6. Do whatever it takes to help children be successful.
  • 7. Have friends and colleagues who support their work emotionally and intellectually. 8. Are not wedded to one best way of teaching and are interested in exploring new ideas. 9. Know when to get involved and when to let go.
