    "Going back to school, for both teachers and students, can be a nerve-wracking and difficult process. Students probably don't know one another. Teachers don't know the students. Everyone is just looking to carve out their own niche and perhaps make a few friends. That's the old way of doing things. There's a new and better way to get students and teachers to engage with one another. Not surprisingly, it's because of a new piece of social media!"

    Are your students collecting RSS feeds in Google Reader, bookmarking sites as a group in Delicious, blogging, interviewing content area experts they found through Google Scholar, and teaching the section of the course for which they are responsible? Wendy Drexler's students are doing all of this. This is a must listen for those of us who dream of the day when education is a more active, accountable process for students and teachers.

    The most profound impact of the Internet, an impact that has yet to be fully realized, is its ability to support and expand the various aspects of social learning. What do we mean by "social learning"? Perhaps the simplest way to explain this concept is to note that social learning is based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we are learning but on how we are learning….

    The purpose of this course is to provide "Just in Time" training through an online interface for K-12 educators based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). These standards are the basic technology skills every educator should possess. In the process, educators will develop their own skills and discover what students need in order to meet the NETS for Students, as well as the new MMC Online Experience requirement. Participants who fulfill all of the requirements have the opportunity to earn SBCEU's. To learn more about the session, look under the tab "The 21 Things". We hope you take advantage of this unique opportunity.

    When assessment drives instruction, students learn more and become more confident, self-directed learners. Assessing Projects helps teachers create assessments that address 21st century skills and provides strategies to make assessment an integral part of their teaching and help students understand content more deeply, think at higher levels, and become self-directed learners.

    The latest effort by the New Humanities Collaborative to tell the story of how reading and writing have been transformed by the web. What does it mean to write? to read? to publish? The answers to these questions, once obvious, must now be reimagined. Can the educational system rise to the challenge of preparing students to live, work, think, and thrive in an environment of ceaseless change?

    Gives you a lot to think about in the area of change. It has to happen. That is how I want my students to learn. We have to teach collaboration. That has been difficult this year with our fifth graders. They do not know how to compromise.

  • The results showed that the podcast viewers did considerably better than those who attended the lecture in person. The podcast group averaged nine points (out of 100) higher on the test than those in the live audience. Moreover, those who took notes during the podcast scored even higher, averaging 15 points higher than their live-lecture counterparts.

    It's not often that a professor tells her students to skip class. But that's what SUNY Fredonia Psychology professor Dani McKinney did to support a recent study - and its results have thrust her into the national spotlight, with stories appearing in media ranging from the "New York Times" to "New Scientist" magazine.

    "Rubrics can be used in many ways. Once created, an established rubric can be used or slightly modified and applied to many activities. Reviewing, reconceptualizing, and revisiting the same concepts from different angles improves understanding of the lesson for students. Think of a writing rubric - good writing does not change with the project. Because the essentials remain constant, it is not necessary to create a completely new rubric for every activity. This five-part series explores how one teacher designs, refines, and implements rubrics in a variety of subject areas."

Engagement v. Empowerment -- Some Early Thoughts... - Practical Theory - 0 views

Empowerment vs Engagement

shared by Diane Kasaczun on 29 Dec 09 - Cached
  • mpowerment feels better to me. It, in the end, is the word -- the idea -- that sets us up for a more student-centered classroom because it is about what the students get from the experience once the class is done, not what happens during the class. It also allows us to do away with the notion that the classroom is always fun. It's not. Let's look at coaching for a moment... a coach who is worried about engagement as the goal lets the kids scrimmage most practices because it is engaging and fun. But an empowering coach puts the kids through smart drills that allows them to play their best basketball during the games. Those days when you walk through the offenses and the defenses 100 times aren't always engaging... in fact, they can feel like a lot of work. But they pay off. And that's what we want in our classes. It's o.k. if there are days when the work that kids do feels like work. We have to be o.k. with that. And we have to understand that school is work... but that it can be meaningful, powerful, empowering (and even engaging) work. And that the work we do together in school means that kids can apply that work to their own lives in ways they see fit and that allow them to thrive.
  • This brings to mind a few other pieces in play with the coaching/sports analogy. -Common vision -Knowledge by all of the common goal they are reaching for -Choice to be present and selecting the team or sport they are playing (usually, one that plays to strengths/abilities of players) -The necessity to ensure all members are working toward the good of the whole, because you're only as strong as your weakest link -Gender specific-does/should this play more of a role in the classroom -Knowledge that if you don't show up or work hard, you're off the team
