Time To Reassess? - The Correct Way To Use Formative Assessment - 0 views

  • How do we know that formative assessment isn’t just a passing fad?” The answer is simple. A focus on formative assessment requires teachers to relate two central issues in teaching – ‘What did I do as a teacher?’ and ‘What did my students learn?’ As long as teachers are focusing on the relationship between those two central issues, they will continue to improve their practice for as long as they stay in the job.

How to Break Free of Our 19th-Century Factory-Model Education System - Joel Rose - Busi... - 0 views

  • Given the enormous impact that technology has had on nearly every other aspect of our society, how can that be?
  • Today our collective vision for education is broader, our nation is more complex and diverse, and our technical capabilities are more powerful. But we continue to assume the factory-model classroom and its rigid bell schedules, credit requirements, age-based grade levels, and physical specifications when we talk about school reform.
  • our focus should primarily be to design new classroom models that take advantage of what these tools can do.

  • understanding what it is we want students to be able to do, the measures of success, the resources we have to work with, and our own sense of possibility.

Children not outside playing? Don't blame technology - 0 views

  • Many of the arguments being made today as to how the Internet is ruining our society were first put forth with the introduction of public speaking, the printed word, telecommunications and so on.
  • should respond to emails at 6 a.m. on a Saturday (emergency or not), this is less about your boss's disposition and more about a common lack of education as to how to best use technology.
  • It's my job to best manage my technology (and not the other way around).
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • For generations, youths have showed they would rather sit around and play than go outside and play. It's not technologies' fault if a kid is lazy ... it comes down to parenting, values and the child's disposition.
  • But, there's something else we need to remember: Our values were created in a different time and in a different place.
  • The current jobs the majority of my friends are working at didn't exist as occupations when I was in high school. Should a child be lugging around five textbooks in a backpack that's causing them spinal disc herniation or does an iPad not only enable them to have a lighter load, but the ability - when used properly - to also create, collaborate and engage more with their peers.
  • I would argue that it's not an all-or-nothing proposition
