relationships uncertainty

Ruth Howard liked it
  • Brooks is arguing for a teaching that prioritizes inquiry, analysis, and process rather than mastering basic skills and learning the classics
  • inquiry based approach where students discuss and debate ideas, understand the importance of critically examining accepted wisdom, seek out new information and new sources and put them into the mix, construct their own answers and put them into play against other perspectives, deepening their understanding as they build their cases and accumulate more evidence for their point of view, yet still respectfully recognizing the possible validity of other points of view.
  • any environment where students and teachers are on the same inquiring side, exploring ideas and making meaning together.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • school effectiveness is measured solely by test scores on multiple choice tests, and not on whether students are deeply connecting with teachers or whether they are developing deeper understanding, a sense of nuance, a respect for multiple perspectives, a creativity that finds and then assesses many possible right answers.
  • how can we reconcile this January 2010 New Yorker Brooks with that December 2008 New York Time Brooks?
  • Tony Searl on 21 Jan 11
     
    She stressed the importance of collecting conflicting information before making up one's mind, of calibrating one's certainty level to the strength of the evidence, of enduring uncertainty for long stretches as an answer became clear, of correcting for one's biases.

  • It’s not what you shoot, but how you shoot videos that matters.
  • The key is to mix it up, experiment and see what happens. Don’t be afraid to bend the rules. The more you work with video, the more you’ll come into your own style.
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 09 Mar 11
     
    "Ever wondered how Alfred Hitchcock would have used YouTube? Many of his techniques work well with video, for example, the sharp editing, cutaways, sudden sounds and pacing. These nine ways will jazz up your videos and turn the most ordinary scenes into more compelling videos."
  • Roland Gesthuizen on 09 Mar 11
     
    Good resource that explains with some examples, how to jazz up your videos.

  • useful to the functional needs of school administration and proof of action

      the same as it is for any systemic ICT (intranet, MAANG, email) It is NOT outward from student/teacherr, it is heavily "down to" them. Hence uptake is poor at best, ignored completely at worst but admin is happy because it is available.) What happened to those simple ICT/saas/paas audits?
  • The project, as always, needs to make a product, and a case to an audience.

      as do the echo chambers of walled garden hell, but because this is provided as expertise, what is dished up is not questioned sufficiently, let alone updated/audited for functional use. Designers/providers rarely use what they perceive as "offered" as the end consumers using those same consumer's metrics of time, space, function with all associated limitations.

      LDN's also don't face the tyranny of unschooling. Tabula rasa is a great strength of emerging design in LDC's. Government's will eventually respond to this closing gap for economic reasons not educational ones. Unfortunately

  • Best of all it takes the case to the people who make decisions, policy and rules about the use of phones
  • very high numbers of students simple do not respond to anything

    students simply don't respond to using a learning management system, (not that it is an LMS, but it includes edmodo BTW)
