Art for our sake - The Boston Globe - 2 views

  • we found that arts programs teach a specific set of thinking skills rarely addressed elsewhere in the curriculum - and that far from being irrelevant in a test-driven education system, arts education is becoming even more important as standardized tests like the MCAS exert a narrowing influence over what schools teach.

The Sham of "Best Practices" « Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Pr... - 1 views

  •  
    Excellent article. If I hear "the research shows" one more time I'm going to hit the roof. If the research was valid we wouldn't be changing course every two or three years. "Best practice" is usually an attempt by a superintendent, principal, or school board to put a feather in their cap by doing something new and "cutting edge."

How Much Of Me Is Owned By The Institution? | Graham Wegner - Open Educator - 0 views

  • In the words of my principal, I am a user (of technology for learning!). When I go online and read blogs, leave comments, publish posts, respond in forums, create and share resources, I do so for my own learning first, and as an extension of my profession second. I want to be a better educator so naturally the lines between when I am doing something for my own personal betterment and when it can be beneficial for those who work alongside of me within my institution become somewhat hazy. I use tools that I sometimes bring back into my classroom. But I always start with the selfish premise of how can this tool / community / node / resource benefit me? In my mind, I strongly feel that this is my own stuff. My blog is my own content. My presentations that I develop for the audience reading here is my own content that I believe that I can share as I see fit. But it isn’t totally clear cut. Because on that Slideshare account mixed in with my Blogging As Professional Learning and my OpenEducatorPLE, content created for an audience beyond my institution, are slideshows like iwb+literacy and my Blogging@School which were developed as part of my paid employment. Who owns what there?
