  • "If only there were some sort of device that was connected to a network of information and resources..."
  • search for information well on the Internet.
  • Even my most tech-savvy colleagues will occasionally give me the opportunity to use the Let Me Google That For You Web Tool.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • More importantly, though, the Internet is a social space where you can ask a question directly to human beings. My favorite method for this is to ask a question on Twitter or in one of the Google+ communities that I belong to.
  • Creating environments in which students can safely take on the role of problem-solver is the focus of many of the most compelling initiatives in learning, including Project-Based Learning, Design Thinking, and the Maker Movement.

    I gave a final exam designed to do just that - provide the opportunity for students to see, touch, and feel that information is cheap and freely available and therefore, there is little inherent value in finding it and especially in spitting it back!. Either my mission was flawed (no surprise), or the deck is seriously stacked against the effort. The result: MUST FIND ANSWERS! Wow, look at me, I have the answers....Couldn't apply it if my life depended on it, but man, just look at my answers! I was preaching the Problem Solver, PBL mantra in a recent conversation and was told bluntly, providing that opportunity in the real isolation of 1 45 minute period out of 7 is a complete waste of time. Man, that stung and I continue to resist it, but there is a very large kernel of CAP T Truth present there.

      Read Classroom Habitudes for some ideas of actual skills students need to be successful!

    "The first thing we attempted to clarify was what exactly is a grade? If I were to look in my grade book and see that Johnny has a B, what picture does that actually paint? That B should tell me that Johnny is pretty proficient. He obviously has some flaws, but I would venture to say he is fairly well-versed in the subject at hand. The question is, however, what actually went into that B? "

      Again, key. However, in thinking abou the book "Quiet" by Susan Cain, this might look and feel very different, depending upon the kid.
  • They must encourage questioning and discussion, challenge them and offer support and guidance. They must use carefully selected curriculum and use formative assessments to measure and support students’ progress.

      Again, this MUST be done overtly, and kids must have a chance to practice these skills in the classroom setting. Where else will they be "social" in their learning?

  •   I useScreenr in conjunction with my iPad and the app Air Sketch to record the videos.  The students go to my website to view.
  • I know as I'm teaching, I get direct feedback from my students by looking at their faces and gauging comprehension. I, as a teacher, don't get that feedback as I'm designing and creating my videos.”
  • Helps kids who were absent, stay current.•Helps kids who don't get the lesson the first time in class.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Can attach Google spreadsheets or other online quizzes to check for comprehension, along with the video link sent to students
  • •I have a long way to go in my skill set in making the videos interesting (they, to me anyway, are really boring to watch).
  • I hope to continue to utilize this approach, but I'd like to find a more streamlined method. Right now I've looked mostly for lecture opportunities to "flip". The omission of these lectures in the classroom setting allows for more time to discuss literature and practice writing techniques.”
  • The videos are beneficial because they are easy to access and very easy to understand.  The textbook we use for an AP course is college level material- it is expected that students will be able to read at that level when taking an AP course.  However, many students are 'learning' how to read at that level. 
  • The videos are refreshing and entertaining, and may allow many to increase their literacy by having that 'access' to the text that may not have been available if they were to simply trudge through the work taking bland notes.”
  • without the proper methods to distribute technology and video information, the flipped model is doomed to fail.
  • As educators, shouldn’t our ultimate goal be to help students become “learners, who can learn for themselves, by themselves.”

    Shares both positive and negative examples straight from classroom teachers. Good food for thought and consideration if you're attempting the model!

  • Learning will increasingly be delivered through student-owned devices, and learners will increasingly integrate social life, work and study in a seamless manner.

      How can we use taxpayer $ to fund devices for our students? Can we invest in them?
  • As a result it will become increasingly difficult for institutions to protect student data and their privacy. This may turn out to be the biggest challenge for students, institutions, and government in the next 20 years and could seriously inhibit the development of online learning in the future, if students or faculty lose trust in the system.
  • Students and learners at this point in my life, what are my learning goals? What is the best way to meet these? Where can I get advice for this?
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • what kind of learning support do I need?
  • Faculty and instructors why do students need to come to campus? What am I offering on-campus that they couldn’t get online? Have I looked up the research on this?

      How do we support students who want to learn online but need a place to do it? Can we be more than "babysitters"? How can we restructure our current learning spaces (classrooms) to better meet the needs of our learners?
  • what teaching methods will lead to the kind of learning outcomes that students will need in life?
  • what kind of teaching spaces do I need for what I want to offer on campus?

      We need to be designing more flexible spaces on our campuses. While we may feel that we were "burned" with open concept classrooms from our past experience, we should be looking to similar spaces.
  • what training or professional development do I need to ensure that I can meet the learning needs of my students?
  • what kind of campus will we need in 10 years time?
  • what partnerships or strategies should we adopt to protect our enrollment base?
  • how do we ensure that faculty have the skills necessary for teaching in a digital age? how can we best reward innovation and high quality teaching? what kind of organization and staff do we need to support faculty in their teaching?
