Robert J. Samuelson - School reform's meager results - 0 views

  • few subjects inspire more intellectual dishonesty and political puffery than "school reform." Since the 1960s, waves of "reform" haven't produced meaningful achievement gains.
  • no one has yet discovered transformative changes in curriculum or pedagogy, especially for inner-city schools, that are (in business lingo) "scalable" -- easily transferable to other schools, where they would predictably produce achievement gains.
  • The larger cause of failure is almost unmentionable: shrunken student motivation. Students, after all, have to do the work. If they aren't motivated, even capable teachers may fail.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Motivation is weak because more students (of all races and economic classes, let it be added) don't like school, don't work hard and don't do well.
  • Against these realities, school "reform" rhetoric is blissfully evasive. It is often an exercise in extravagant expectations.

Preparing Students to Learn Without Us| The Committed Sardine - 0 views

  • Personalized learning like this requires students to reflect deeply on their effort and assess their work and progress, a fundamental part of developing the skills and dispositions to continue learning after the class ends
  • technology facilitates both the learning and the assessment process.
  • Web 2.0 technologies are at the heart of personalization
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the personalized nature of the program requires teachers "to meet each child where he or she is and differentiate support and curriculum on the basis of language and learning style rather than grouping or whole class. That's a necessary shift in the role of the teacher.
  • "Autonomy is what distinguishes between personal learning, which we do for ourselves, and personalized learning, which is done for us," Downes (2011) tweeted last fall.
  • the truly personal, self-directed learning that we can now pursue in online networks and communities differs substantially from the "personalized" opportunities that some schools are opening up to students.

Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally, Andrew Churches - 2 views

  •  
    "In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, Bloom's Taxonomy. This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund."

10 Steps to Take Games Based Learning to the Next Level | edte.ch - 1 views

  • The clearest message from my experiences I can offer is to leverage the children’s enthusiasm into other areas of the curriculum.
  •  
    If you carefully choose the right sort of game it will engage the children in your class - in my opinion you have to take that as a given. It is what you do with that engaged group of children and how you make a difference to their learning that counts.
