  • These and other innova-tions require an LMS that can get beyond semesters and courses, concentrating instead on individual learners and what they need over the course of their education and into their professional lives.
  • Because they will center on students, LMSs will likely become more personalized and customizable and will need to work well on a broadening pool of mobile devices.
  • With a stronger focus on learners, LMSs might enable deeper engagement and collaboration between learners and instruc-tors, and a new generation of LMSs should allow colleges and universities to build learning ecosystems that promote those kinds of interactions.

    "The Internet has allowed us to retrieve as much information on any topic from pretty much any source we want. Wading through the junk can be tough. We have to rely on the collective knowledge of our friends and colleagues to help us sort the good from the bad. (Because remember, alone we are smart but together we are brilliant.) But that is only half of the curation process. Once we find the good we have to be able to store it and find it again. Having good tools at our disposal is crucial so that the hard work we go through to vet resources doesn't go to waste. These tools also allow us to share our learning and curated resources, adding to the global knowledge."

    It has been a desired "central" lesson when I introduce Symbaloo - COllection & storage certainly, but in the curator aspect, lies evaluation and critical thinking. When I take kids to the art museum, we are looking at the concept of a "collection" - noun and those that assemble the collection are curators - what factors are considered to place an artifact in one collection as opposed to another? I admit that the curation aspect tends to become a mere add-on and gets buried under a mountain of other "stuff". But, as with all things, we endeavor to persevere...

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.

    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!

    "We need to develop more learning opportunities where students constitute the actual evaluators for the work itself. Imagine if students, teachers and others evaluate and provide feedback to determine the effectiveness of a student's creation: Develop an 60-second speech to be shared with the student council and three advertising posters to be copied and placed around school to decrease bullying. Your work will be evaluated according to our rubric by the students in our class, outside professionals and me - as the teacher. These are the experiences that push learning beyond a one-way conversation between student and teacher. They demystify the assessment process and allow each student to be a creator and simultaneous evaluator, providing multiple experiences for students to recognize and apply the criteria for quality."

    "LEARNing Landscapes | Vol. 6, No. 2, Spring 2013 23 Michael Fullan , University of Toronto ABSTRACT There is currently a powerful push-pull factor in schooling. The push factor is that school is increasingly boring for students and alienating for teachers. The pull fac - tor is that the exploding and alluring digital world is irresistible, but not necessarily productive in its raw form. The push-pull dynamic makes it inevitable that disruptive changes will occur. I have been part of a group that has been developing innova - tive responses to the current challenges. This response consists of integrating three components: deep learning goals, new pedagogies, and technology. The result will be more radical change in the next five years than has occurred in the past 50 years. T here is currently a volatile push-pull dynamic intensifying in public schools. The push factor is that students are increasingly bored in school"

    "BLCFeatureTopicIn this episode of the November Learning Podcast Series, Alan November speaks to Ian VanderSchee, an upper level mathematics teacher at Coppell High School, in Texas. The two discuss Ian's implementation of Alan's "First 5 Days" ideas at the start of this school year and how these ideas have positively impacted his students ever since. To learn more about these and other possible "First 5 Days" implementations, we encourage you to read Alan's book, Who Owns the Learning, and we invite you to attend the Building Learning Communities conference being held this summer in Boston. You can learn about both of these on our Web site at http://www.novemberlearning.com. You might also share your thoughts and stories about the "First 5 Days" on Twitter, using the hashtag #1st5days."

    When learners speak, write, or draw their ideas, they deepen their cognition. Project Zero's Visible Thinking approach shows how. I'm sure Sara has already shared this... but couldn't control myself.

An Essential Question for Developing Student-Centered Classrooms - Education Week Teacher - 2 views

shared by anonymous on 06 Feb 14 - No Cached
  • In a 21st-century world where students will likely have to reinvent themselves and their careers multiple times, the question has acquired depth that it didn't have even 20 years ago. Preparing students to be responsible for their own learning, to ultimately become "the teacher" themselves, must become one of our highest priorities in schools.
  • A truly student-centered classroom is also one where the students' voices are heard significantly more than the teacher's and where their interactions are at the center of the learning process.

During that time I will be doing what I've been doing for over fifty years, but more so and with a much wider forum! As I see it, my mission is to spread the delight of children's poetry and poetry in general, to be a sort of Pied Piper for children's poetry. While continuing to write and recite my own poems, I will also be presenting the work of other wonderful children's poets in talks and readings and videos. "
