  • it is not because they had a 1-1 program in itself that made them so, but because they had a classroom culture of student inquiry, of research, collaboration, and on-line publishing, all of which were well supported by the laptops in students’ hands.
  •   “Laptop computers [would not be] technological tools; rather, [they would be] cognitive tools that are holistically integrated into the teaching and learning processes of their school.”
  • One of the best sections of this article speaks right to this, as it advocates schools to bring the students to the table: But it’s not just teachers who experts say must be involved in the 1-to-1 planning process—students should be, too.

  • nstead of banning the devices that we know our students love, we should figure out how to use them to engage our students. Rather than banning them from the classroom, we should be showing students how to use them appropriately.
  • Teaching students how to use those tools properly and finding a balance between technology and other hands-on methods of learning is what really makes sense

  • “Adults didn’t grow up with social media, and so they only look for the bad, and see scary stuff like cyberbullying and sexting” he says. “They don’t realize that 90 per cent of kids use social media for really good things, like making friends.”
  • “Teens are simply doing on social media what they have done for decades, using social relationships to experiment and test behaviours and values they will use as adults” says Andersen.
  • “The role of parents is to model appropriate behaviour for their kids and to develop expectations with their kids around social media use. We can’t just hand them a cellphone and cross our fingers.

  • 2012-13, The US department of Commerce ranked 55 industry sectors for their IT intensiveness, education ranked lowest (below coal mining). Education industry that bears the responsibility to prepare children for the world of tomorrow, itself is not ready to embrace the digital revolution with an open mind.
  • Indeed there are some real risks attached with children using social media and it can’t be taken lightly. But there are also dangers in crossing a road. Do we tell our kids not to cross the road? No, we don’t! We hold their hand and tell them how to do it.
  • So irrespective of whether or not you as an institution are ready to embrace the new digital ways of teaching, the revolution is already happening. If educators are left behind on social media, they will also fail in the simple role of being cultivators of curiosity.

  • If you have teachers that regard computers as learning tools, you have to let them be used as such. Limiting access to vast and rapidly shifting content makes using and finding content difficult. Tim isn't opening the gates of Hell. He's loosening a noose. On the other hand, if teachers regard computers as baby sitters, no matter what content is being served up, learning doesn't happen.

  • Practically every one of our students--rich and poor, wise and less wise--is walking around with a powerful computing device in his or her hand. These students are changing the nature of their education using those devices, whether they realize it or not--and whether we help them or not.

assessment

shared by Phil Taylor on 04 Oct 17 - No Cached
  • Assessment involves timely, detailed  feedback based around clearly defined learning outcomes.  Evaluation is “giving a grade”
  • the collation marks too often includes work which was done before students had mastered the material
  • pursuit of ‘marks’ often distracts students’ focus from the work at hand
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • too often we put a mark on student work when we’re hoping to use the work formatively, which is a mistake
  • There is nothing wrong with having some consequence for late work, but the assignment of grades (when necessary) should reflect student learning, nothing more
