  • Subtext is a free iPad app that allows classroom groups to exchange ideas in the pages of digital texts. You can also layer in enrichment materials, assignments and quizzes—opening up almost limitless opportunities to engage students and foster analysis and writing skills
  • Teaching in a 1:1 iPad classroom allows me to use technology to redefine teaching and learning. Subtext has been a wonderful addition to the 'toolbox'

  • more than two-thirds of their students had fair or poor abilities to digest long and complicated texts and understand plagiarism issues
  • found such advantages as greater creativity, personal expression and increased collaboration
  • promoted a deeper interest in writing because students could see their works published in such online forums as http://www.figment.com
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Sometimes, good old-fashioned pen and paper are the best way
  • English teachers were far more positive toward digital tools for writing — nearly two-thirds said it made teaching easier — than colleagues teaching math, science and social studies.
  • technology is not the most important element in promoting good student writing

technology PD workshops

shared by seth_mitchell on 06 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • workshops should begin and end by having people think and write about their learning goals. Workshops and series should be named after learning goals rather than tools.
  • involves introducing tools not by the unconscionably boring "click-along-with-the-presenter" method, but by giving participants a logical series of steps to perform and having them figure out how to do them through play, exploration, peer and facilitator support.
  • professional development plans ultimately need to build towards creating environments where teachers are coaching, guiding, supporting and inspiring one another.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Outside consultants and technology coaches can provide a boost, but really sustained change happens when teachers are teaching each other.
  • It's not about technology, it about learning. It's not about tools, it's about goals. It's not about new gizmos, it's about enduring pedagogy.

  • Digital media supplies information, but it also shapes the process of thought. 
  • My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles.
  • Literary figures are openly admitting that they cannot engage in sustained critical reading, in a sense, they can no longer read for a purpose
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • we should be moving towards, “a carefully employed pedagogy aimed at furthering students digital literacy, just as earlier, process-based composition emerged as a dominant pedagogical model”
  • being wary of public writing in the classroom.  He suggests that if not implemented properly, this public writing can have far reaching consequences.
  • “Before students can engage in the new participatory culture, they must be able to read and write
  • this intentional move towards brevity and away from sustained critical reading/writing is sure to negatively impact the future of our students, thereby impacting the future of our country.

PD conferences education

shared by seth_mitchell on 05 Dec 12 - No Cached
  • So, having also recently attended an EdCamp, I can say there is something between that and a traditional conference that would be best for how I want to learn.  And, I am okay with giving up a Saturday (with the promise of a bagged lunch) to sit in a high school to talk teaching and learning.

      Boy, this sounds a whole lot like SMWP's upcoming tech conference.
  •  If I am going to travel to conferences, then I need it to add value — not only to come away with new ideas, but new tools that I have had the chance to try, and the experience I couldn’t have had if I were not there.
  • What I need now is a chance to spend time making sense of what I am hearing — I crave the opportunity to engage with the smart people who are with me in the room.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Focussed visits to districts, schools and classes are very powerful, with specific objectives and learning in action and not only in a presentation.  I also find the traditional ‘study group’ to continue to have a huge impact on my learning.
