    Interesting take from Alfie Kohn with regards to homework in today's schools.

    I think I really agree with this article. Robin Jackson said at our PD that if you find the big pieces that need to be covered and do the rest when/if there is time, the outcomes will be much greater and the material learned will be mastered not just rote memory. Teachers can't expect homework to teach what they did not get taught. Homework should only be an opportunity to practice what they have been taught. Thanks for sharing.

  • "If you meet someone who tells you his interest is science, ask how much technology he uses," Knezek says. "If he says, 'Not much,' you know that person is a student or a teacher in our school system. If you meet someone who is interested in communications who doesn't use a lot of technology, same thing. I guarantee you it's either a teacher or a student."

      Wow again. This quote is a killer.
  • students are told while in school to turn off the very mobile devices that are so integral in today's workplace and are typically unable to access expertise outside the classroom.

      I am glad we are moving to a point where we are getting away from this practice.
  • Although some progress has been made in moving toward more project- and team-based learning, students continue to be pulled out of that setting when the time arrives to take assessments.

education digital footprint

shared by Lisa Elifrits on 06 Jun 11 - Cached
  • t's a consequence of the new Web 2.0 world that these digital footprints—the online portfolios of who we are, what we do, and by association, what we know—are becoming increasingly woven into the fabric of almost every aspect of our lives.
  • n short, for a host of reasons, we're failing to empower kids to use one of the most important technologies for learning that we've ever had.
  • One of the biggest challenges educators face right now is figuring out how to help students create, navigate, and grow the powerful, individualized networks of learning that bloom on the Web and helping them do this effectively, ethically, and safely.

  • Our students must be nomadic, flexible, mobile learners who depend not so much on what they can recall as on their ability to connect with people and resources and edit content on their desktops, or, even more likely, on pocket-size devices they carry around with them.
  • Our teachers have to be colearners in this process, modeling their own use of connections and networks and understanding the practical pedagogical implications of these technologies and online social learning spaces.
  • with an understanding of how transparency fosters connections and with a willingness to share our work and, to some extent, our personal lives. Sharing is the fundamental building block for building connections and networks;
  • we must make these new ways of collaborating and connecting a transparent part of the way we deliver curriculum from kindergarten to graduation.
  • Middle school students should be engaged in the process of cooperating and collaborating with others outside the classroom around their shared passions, just as they have seen their teachers do.

      My first year of teaching, I went all out on PI day.  I even got permission from administration to have an assembly.  We raised money by "PI"ing a teacher in the face.  Students were challenged to memorize digits of pi and compete against each other.  We also wrote digits of pi on pieces of paper and posted them in the hallways for students to understand that "PI" is never ending!

  • our résumé is becoming a Google search result, one that we build with the help of others and that requires our participation
  • A student's "branding" effort may take many forms
  • It starts with a school and classroom philosophy of sharing, with the idea that without sharing, there is no education (Wiley, 2010). A culture of sharing doesn't mean just providing content for others to read and learn from; it means sharing to connect with other people with whom we can learn as well. (See "Moving Students Online: First Steps for Teachers.")

  • But the purpose of posting these artifacts online is not just to publish—it's to connect with others who might be interested in and learning about the same topic.
  • By the time they leave high school, students should be "Googleable"—that is, able to find themselves online—associating their full names with their best work for a global audience to see.
