For Students, Why the Question is More Important Than the Answer | MindShift - 2 views

  •  
    "Coming up with the right question involves vigorously thinking through the problem, investigating it from various angles, turning closed questions into open-ended ones and prioritizing which are the most important questions to get at the heart of the matter. "We've been underestimating how well our kids can think." "We've been underestimating how well our kids can think." Rothstein said in a recent discussion on the talk show Forum. "We see consistently that there are three outcomes. One is that students are more engaged. Second, they take more ownership, which for teachers, this is a huge thing.

Co-inventing the Curriculum | DMLcentral - 2 views

  • students look for problems, ask questions, collect data, try to make sense of the data they have collected, test their hypotheses, apply and integrate what they’ve learned about co-discovering, co-inquiring, and co-learning to all their subject matter. The digital tools make it possible for the data collection to be more extensive and more minutely labeled than overly-simplified toy versions of student data collection. 
  • “the digital tools enable us to capture a large amount of data, dump it on the table, explore it, examine it, roll it around in ways we were never able to do before. Like archeologists out in the field, we need to label everything we find in order to make sense of it when we remove it from the place we found it: go out with your phones, take pictures, write notes, capture video, but also tag it for time and location and other attributes, so when you bring it back to the classroom you can see each piece of data in multiple contexts.

    "But the best educational outcomes grow from a well thought out program of student empowerment - made both possible and attractive by adopting, adapting and mashing-up digital media."

    I think I have a convergence of two (+) very important vectors that might actually make something along these lines be realized: (1) I have a three level green light - on one, my "real" boss actually wants me to step out and really do something different, my evaluator likes to see interesting things and realizes a certain challenge to ANY poor evaluation is not in anyone's best interest, and I have friends/support in higher places (Milk it as long as it lasts!); (2) I am too dang old and tired (saying I am tired is akin to referring to the Great Wall of China as a fence!) of making excuses for why I can't and this may actually be my last real opportunity! (BONUS Vector: No one, and I mean NO ONE that might object is paying attention!) Let's set a time - a good long block of time - to map out something SPECIAL!

Educational Leadership:Giving Students Ownership of Learning:Footprints in the Digital Age - 3 views

    • Kenneth Jones
       
      What do you think about this concept?
  • Whether we like it or not, social Web technologies are having a huge influence on students who are lucky enough to be connected, even the youngest ones.
  •  
    "Your personal footprint-and to some extent your school's-is most likely being written without you, thanks to the billions of us worldwide who now have our own printing presses and can publish what we want when we want to."

Steve Hargadon: Escaping the Education Matrix | MindShift - 0 views

  • “What are most kids getting out of 12 years of school?” he asks. “The honest answer is they’re learning how to follow,
  • “They don’t question schooling. How do you tell a story that opens the door to rethinking what people have believed for decades? So much in their lives depends on that story being what they think it is.
  • But families must also reclaim ownership of learning, rather than viewing it as the responsibility of schools and government,
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • “As individuals, families and communities, we need to reclaim the conversation around learning, and to do so in such a way as to recognize the inherent worth and value of every student, with the ultimate goal of helping them become self-directed and agents of their own learning.”
