Cultivating the Habits of Self-Knowledge and Reflection | Edutopia - 0 views

  • So in the face of a challenge, what do your students "retreat to"? Below are four questions they can use to begin this kind of reflection and self-awareness: How do I respond when I'm challenged, both inwardly and outwardly? Which resources and strategies do I tend to favor, and which do I tend to ignore? What can I do to make myself more aware of my own thinking and emotions? What happens if I don’t change anything at all?

    Again, I agree but educational technologies are difficult to move forward in classrooms, at least I can say that it is tough this year with AchieveNJ, Common Core, & PARCC all being implemented at once. I think we are on the way and getting the word out....let's see how much we grow in 2 years.

The Flipped Mentality | Spin Education - 0 views

  •  
    Classroom flipping involves significantly more than merely recording and posting instructional videos online. For starters, this developing approach involves giving students more control over their learning, while allowing teachers more time and freedom to offer quality instruction.
  •  
    As a former math teacher, the flipped classroom scared me at first, but then I have to say, I loved it when I was learning stats this summer and used Khan Academy.....

My Work is My Life. Is That a Problem? - 0 views

  • Get a life and stop working so much," this person implored me
  • My work is my life.  I enjoy my projects, and technology enables me to easily integrate my work and personal life. The notion of leaving work at work is a remnant of the industrial revolution. Most of us are paid to think, and you just can't shut it off when you walk out the office door each evening. That's why some of my greatest business breakthroughs happen when I am not "at work."
  • . So please don't tell me to get a life.

    Interesting article....for those of us who are passionate. We are not workaholics but rather, passion seekers.

An Edcamp at the U.S. Department of Education? - Finding Common Ground - Education Week - 0 views

  • You may be skeptical of edcamps, but you shouldn't be. They are much more engaging, and widely held than you may think. According to Kristen Swanson, Senior Educational Research Leader at BrightBytes, and co-founder of the Edcamp Movement, "Edcamps are more than just an idea or theory; they're an international movement. The model has been replicated in 41 states and dozens of countries worldwide. Over 25,000 educators have participated in a regional Edcamp event, and many more have participated in an Edcamp-style event at their school."   Considering how grassroots edcamps are, it's going to be interesting to what happens, when the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) holds their edcamp in June.

    Low grades on tests do not necessarily mean that students haven't studied. Some students may have been confused when the material was covered in class. Incomplete homework isn't always a sign that students don't care.

Accountability and Motivation - Top Performers - Education Week - 0 views

  • There is a lot of federal money available for training and professional development for teachers but no systematic federal strategy that I can discern for turning that money into systems of the kind top-performing countries use to support long-term, steady improvements in teachers' professional practice
  • Knowledge workers would fail unless they were managed like professionals: given a lot of autonomy, trusted to make the right decisions and supported rather than directed.
  • Pink draws on four decades of research to argue that most workers are capable of much more and better work than they currently do, but they will be motivated to do it not by the old extrinsic rewards and punishments, but rather by the intrinsic motivation that comes from being treated like the true professionals described by Drucker.
