  • the very real task of connecting them more closely to their coursework, to their teachers and to each other.
  • One of the best ways to do this is to use technology to collect data that tells us where they're strong and where they're weak, how they learn best, and use this data to create personalized pathways
  • The simplest reason why we should continue our push to bring technology to our classrooms is also the best one: it works

  • 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.

  • study what happens when students use these devices to connect, develop, grow and create. We also need to understand that success in the 21st century can not be measured by the bubble tests that were created to measure an industrial model of schooling.
  •  Do we want students to read, write, calculate, receive instant feedback, make global connections, develop a learning network, publish to the world? Of course we do.

  • 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.

  • teaching isn’t about content and it’s not about technology. It’s about kids, about building relationships with them, about believing in them, about finding out what they can do and then providing opportunities for them to do it.
  • Know your students, have faith in their capacities, and magical things will happen.
  • you’re a professional now
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The best teachers do the same, and you should try to emulate that—if for no other reason than to stay on the right side of all the disruptive change that’s coming along.
  • the strongest teachers are very good at gently, and sometimes not so gently, reminding parents that we’re all on the same side here
  • go to your school’s website and re-read the mission statement. If there are sections on values, and history, read those, too.

  • DOK Levels are not sequential
  • DOK levels are also not developmental
  • Regardless of how you define "rigor," the important thing is that students are thinking deeply on a daily basis. Webb's Depth of Knowledge gives you a framework and common language to make that happen in your classroom.
