    I like this idea for us next year. Would you all be willing to do this once in a while? I think it would help us with our "grey area" assessments.
  •  
    This is an interesting way for groups to look at student work and the work of the teachers creating the assessments.

Reading in a Whole New Way | 40th Anniversary | Smithsonian Magazine - 0 views

  • We can agree or disagree with Kevin, but the world keeps spinning. Screens are made and used in instructive and destructive ways. As an educator I need to learn to use screens as learning platforms so that I can model constructive informative behavior for the students I interact with. So here is how I came to write this post. I subscribe to Will Richardson's blog weblog-ed in my Google Reader. He shared a link to Kevin Kelly's blog Technium. As I read the blog post I used Diigo to underline and add sticky notes. I now have this annotation in my Diigo groups. I will Twitter this and add a link in the New Literacies Institute Ning at newlit.org. Kevin will sell a few more books, which I have hundreds of, and add more readers of his blog.
  • This article is very interesting because it made me think.And I thougt that I was right when I bought a computer for my 81st birthday.It has a wide screen,and I could enlarge the letters to be able to read it because my eyes are bad. I felt that I was not anymore excluded of the world.I had entered the 21st century. The last 12 or some years I spend writing a book by hand.Nobody would ever read a single word of the more than 400 pages.No editor would have accepted it.But is has been typed and now it is on the web.Everybody can read it,and sites of military history,dutch and french,published it or parts of it(I wrote it in french)because it is about the 1940-campaign. Thank you,dear author,you made me feel I was right.
  • Bring on the technology, we have plenty of idle brain space waiting to make use of it.

    Kevin Kelly writes about how reading has changed from a silent, individual pastime to one that is collaborative, more physical pursuit.

    Take a photo a day in your school and share it on flickr. I tried this a few years back, but never stuck with it.

Official Google Blog: Our Googley advice to students: Major in learning - 0 views

  • ... communication skills. Marshalling and understanding the available evidence isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions.
  • .. analytical reasoning. Google is a data-driven, analytic company. When an issue arises or a decision needs to be made, we start with data. That means we can talk about what we know, instead of what we think we know.
  • . a willingness to experiment. Non-routine problems call for non-routine solutions and there is no formula for success. A well-designed experiment calls for a range of treatments, explicit control groups, and careful post-treatment analysis. Sometimes an experiment kills off a pet theory, so you need a willingness to accept the evidence even if you don't like it.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • ... team players. Virtually every project at Google is run by a small team. People need to work well together and perform up to the team's expectations.
  • ... passion and leadership. This could be professional or in other life experiences: learning languages or saving forests, for example. The main thing, to paraphrase Mr. Drucker, is to be motivated by a sense of importance about what you do.
  •  
    Great article from the Google Blog about who they want and how to promote thinking skills in the classroom.
  •  
    Read this. It's worth it.
