Navigating a "No Zero" Policy - the becoming radical - 0 views

  • Schools, teachers, parents, and students must set aside grading as a system of rewards and punishments, and begin to see grading as a subset of assessment, which must be used as a system of feedback and student revision to support student learning.
  • My alternative to the zero is that students must complete fully all work assigned or no credit can be assigned for the course; this approach addresses the problems with both assigning zeroes and simply passing students who do not complete the work.

The 21st Century Teacher - 1 views

  • When students were succeeding in school with no technology, we were also living in a world with little technology, and preparing students for life in a world where technology wasn't a part of their daily lives.  
  • Technology is no substitute for an inspiring teacher. However, on-line materials are far more available. Twenty times more.
  • Because the students have access to the same tools over the web, they can reinforce the ideas by experimenting with the simulations themselves, any time, any where.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Instead of teaching (push), students can be given projects that require them to learn (pull) the necessary material themselves.
  • A vital skill in the new digital world is the ability to work collaboratively on projects with others who may not be physically close.
  • The worldview of the student can be expanded because of the zero cost of communicating with other people around the globe.
  • Students are, of course, all different.
  • To cash in this benefit, schools need to go paperless.
