    " "What risks to take on, how much money is too little or too much, are all judgment calls we help entrepreneurs with. Even which technology risk to take, building the right gene pool of a company, is a delicate balancing act between science, innovation, experience, burn rate, and many other factors that are seldom appreciated by people who have not built large, successful companies starting with small ones. Transitions and uncertainty are difficult to intuit." "

A New Pedagogy - Fullan - 0 views

  •  
    "LEARNing Landscapes | Vol. 6, No. 2, Spring 2013 23 Michael Fullan , University of Toronto ABSTRACT There is currently a powerful push-pull factor in schooling. The push factor is that school is increasingly boring for students and alienating for teachers. The pull fac - tor is that the exploding and alluring digital world is irresistible, but not necessarily productive in its raw form. The push-pull dynamic makes it inevitable that disruptive changes will occur. I have been part of a group that has been developing innova - tive responses to the current challenges. This response consists of integrating three components: deep learning goals, new pedagogies, and technology. The result will be more radical change in the next five years than has occurred in the past 50 years. T here is currently a volatile push-pull dynamic intensifying in public schools. The push factor is that students are increasingly bored in school"

8 Steps To Flipped Teacher Professional Development - 0 views

  •  
    "Whatever you do the first year will be a trainwreck (compared to the nice and tidy sit-and-get PD). So from the beginning, everyone should be aware that it's all a work in progress-just like the profession itself. Perhaps the greatest potential here is in the chance to personalize professional development for teachers. The above ideas are too vague to be considered an exact guide, but an "exact guide" really isn't possible without ending up with something as top-heavy and standardized as the process it seeks to replace-or at least supplement. Instead focus on the big ideas-personalizing educator training through self-directed and social media-based professional development."

This Is Why You Should Take Notes By Hand Instead Of With A Laptop - 0 views

  •  
    "Our brain uses two different types of cognitive processing when doing these two operations: typing and writing. As tested on a group of undergrads, the research proved that laptop users type almost everything they hear without processing the meaning or devoting much thought to what it is they're taking notes on. Basically, when you type, all you're doing is mindlessly transcribing, and that does not require much cognitive activity."
