LASD and Khan Academy Pilot - 1 views

  • I overheard the following conversation. Student #1:  “Hey, come over here. I just discovered a cheat.” Student #2: “I know that one. Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone.” Student #3: “I already know about that one, but look, I think there might be another one.”
  • We have started to group our students based on their individual needs and are modifying our text book instruction to match.
  • achieve a fluid classroom where students are moving between Khan Academy, small group instruction, and project work, with working groups that vary based on each strand.

Least Restrictive Environment - Practical Theory - 2 views

  •  
    I've been thinking a lot about Least Restrictive Environment quite a bit in terms of internet filtering. If we are truly going to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship, we must be preparing them within as authentic a "real life" learning environment as possible.
  •  
    Couldn't agree with you more. All the worries (inappropriate, controversial, miss informational sites, etc) are exactly what students will face in the "real life" environment. In fact, they already do. They need to experience this in school as well, as this is the place they will begin to establish a set of values and acquire the skills to discern what information is valuable to them. In our efforts to "protect" students, we are robbing them of these needed skills. I would argue that the Viagra adds during the Super Bowl are just as bad. Let's move away from a fear-based model of filtering to a more pro-active model of educating.
  •  
    Hey Matt, a very interesting take on access! My argument has been that in locked down environments, kids can't develop ethics or appropriate use habits which are critical in life. You have to allow the possibility of misuse to test whether the ethic is in place, so this skill can't be demonstrated and is not developed in some systems. Nothing like developing internal locus of control.... much like intrinsic motivation.

: In Praise of Risk-Taking - 0 views

shared by Rob Reynolds on 02 Apr 10 - Cached
  • Somehow we keep confusing technology use in the classroom with negative outcomes rather than seeing and understanding the exponential expansion of learning possibilities and the positive advantages our student will have in navigating the world of new jobs still unknown to us because of their familiarity with technology.
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      This fear factor reasoning not only denies students access to the tools that will aid their learning, but it it also sets them up for troubles and potential failure in that they don't learn cyber responsibility in a guided way, but are left to the very "wolves" we think we are protecting them from.  "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"  that's our current motto in education.
  • Errors of omission consist of not doing something that should have been done.
  • Of these, errors of omission are usually the most costly because it is harder to correct a missed opportunity than to correct something that has been done.

  • Thus, those who want to avoid errors in an organization that define mistakes as a bad – if not punishable – thing find that to maximize their job security they should do as little as possible.” (Ackoff & Greenberg, p.7575)
  • There are and should be no more excuses, just swiftly planned action to put technology in the hands of every student for use whenever there is a need.

Khan Academy, Bringing Creativity to Class Time (by Sal Khan) - 1 views

  • Not only would it provide for deeper, more motivated learning, but a portfolio of meaningful projects is vastly more interesting for a prospective employer than a GPA on a transcript (we know because Khan Academy’s own hiring process cares a lot more about what someone has creatively produced than their GPA).
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      Students who are looking for jobs with new innovative companies better stop worrying about their GPA and start thinking much more seriously about what they produce.
  • This liberates the rest of class time for peer tutoring, higher level interactions between teachers and students, and truly creative projects.
    • Rob Reynolds
       
      Don't think that Khan, or any other tech tool can ever replace a teacher.  It just changes their job.  
  • We played a variation of freeze tag where we changed the size of the playing field and the number of “freezers”.  Students predicted and observed how the dynamics of the game changed as more freezers were added and the threshold needed to freeze everyone.  They were quick to draw analogies to other areas of science.
  •  
    make projects the primary mode of learning (as opposed to something that just complements lectures and exercises)
