  • they will continue to live like their parents with the same expectations
  • what students might need to do well as they leave school
  • Communication skills - delivering their message clearly without misconceptions.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • ollaborative decision-making and work strategies. Groups are vital to progress - working together to create a product is found in nearly all professions - from construction to high-tech scientific work. Up until now collaborative - group - work has been “done” but there seems to be a lack of focus on learning those essential dynamics for productive collaboration.
  • Students are mostly “me” focused, it goes with the age.
  • he system really doesn’t encourage novel ideas or divergent thinking. Instead, there continues to be a dominate frame of reference that if you “learn” enough information and can then answer the questions on a test,
  • here needs to be direct instruction on effective and non-effective collaboration
  • Presentation skills, on the other hand, are largely neglected in schools, and few people put effort into developing them. Thus, presentation skills are a primary differentiator among you and your peers.”

Pop Cosmopolitanism » Introducing the After School MMO Group - 0 views

  • This bridge, we believe, will enhance their success in life and academics, as these literacies are essential components found in the 21st Century Learning Skills (see Partnership for 21st Century Learning Skills for more information), which many schools are still trying to conceptualize, let alone implement. Although we are very early in the pilot program, our first goal has been to develop the MMO group into a “third place” for these boys to hang out and play together. As the group has begun developing cohesion, and the boys are becoming better oriented with the game, we’ve begun integrating content into our sessions that are not only valued “gamer” practices, but promote literacy practices as well (such as writing forum posts, for example).

    What are you doing in the classroom to add value to the 'digital native' students? - What do you need to learn about to be more effective in the classroom? What is confusing you? This thread is to provide teachers with professional development help in key areas. Just post up what you would like to do in your classroom (even if you're not sure of the 'buzz' word), and hopefully, someone will help you out with advice and support.

    I have a list of tools on http://deangroom.wordpress.com and Judy has a list (probably a little newer) on http://heyjude.wordpress.com. Yes you can build it here. I suggest that when someone finds a tool, or wants to post one, we tag it with 'pbltool', that way we can search by the tag in the bookmarks. You could also start a topic.

    In Google's latest TOS, they in fact say that 18 is the minimum age for all Google Services!

    I suggest that you look at http://www.zoho.com - which allows you to do similar things. Google docs used to be called Writely if I remember correctly, before Google bought it.

    I can arrange @school workshop, no problem next term. Make it an agenda item and it will happen Shane.

    I can also arrange one using Flash Meeting for an online audio/chat/video hook up - or arrange a meeting in Second Life @ Jokadia Island and get some of the Edu Residents to help out. That way we can make something happen in everyones timezone. (http://www.jokaydia.com). People would need to have a Second Life Account to use it of course. To me it's the best informal networking tool I use these days.

    If you want to Skype me Wesley, my ID is dean_groom - we could conference that too!

    Having an Edu Social Network is awesome - as you can tune it to your needs and interests. But if you are not sure what one is, how to get the most from it etc., then I'm happy to try and facilitate for all.

    It would be great to arrange a regular vid/voice/chat/SL type meeting for the PBL Group!

    If there is interest of course.
