      I love this article, because it showcases what is possible in education.  I also love this article, because in addition to the written text, a video has been added. Video is becoming increasingly important as a medium.

    It took seven people to create the "Golden Medallion" spy adventure video game and its advertising campaign. They did their own coding, conducted a beta test, created a website, a commercial and an instagram feed, and they came up with incentives to get people to play. And not one of the seven had even finished sixth grade. Continue reading →

    As the ethics of the use of AI to create bodies of work that normally would be created by a human, the question is out there, of who owns the rights to that work? Does the person that created the prompt own it or does the entity that wrote the code that made that prompt become something new own it?

  • some feel "tech prep" is a waste of time, but far more view it as a crucial set of skills that does double duty.
  • SETDA advocates blending computer skills seamlessly into instruction, rather than teaching them in isolation.

      Yes, but some skill lesson has to happen or poor habits will develop and their skills will bottom out way to soon.

  • Of course, some computer skills are valuable, like keyboarding, creating multimedia projects, manipulating programs they'd use in life and school,
  • "They can run an iPhone like a champ, or the iPads we have here at school. But they're not that exposed to keyboarding skills or using the mouse to move something up and down on a screen."
  • said her students have been honing their keyboarding skills while using an online curriculum for computer coding.

      Love this!
  • Using an online math program, they learn to move and click a mouse, and cut and paste text. As they move through the grades, they add more skills, integrated into their core-content study, Ms. Warr said.
  • "If we were trying to teach the tech skills in isolation, there would be a huge pushback [from teachers], but we integrate them into other subjects," Ms. Warr said.

      But this has to start young so it builds. Teachers need help in how to make this happen seamlessly.
  • But because the Smarter Balanced assessment expects more "writing in one shot" online, he's encouraging teachers to shift their "quick writes" to the computer, he said.

      A balance between the writing process (paper, revision) as we know it and quick writes on the computer
  • 1st graders are starting with a free online game called Dance Mat, where they pick out letters one at a time, and work up to typing their names, Mr. Decker said. In 2nd grade, students begin using an online program called Type To Learn three times a week. Third and 4th graders continue it twice a week, and by 5th grade, it's down to weekly.

    In this article, teachers and administrators share their desire to differentiate between computer skills that are test-based only and those that are actually life skills, too, and then figure out how to work those into the school day in a constructive way.

  • 1995, 29 percent of bachelor’s degrees in computer science were awarded to women; by 2012, the most recent year for which NSF data is available, only 18 percent of computer science undergraduates were women.
  • I also know firsthand how computer science and technology make for a great career, offering a good income, work-life balance and opportunities to travel. They also offer a chance to make significant contributions to the world, by working on important societal problems.

  • the faculty assigned team-based projects so students coded together. And most importantly, they made the courses fun.
  • A number of studies have shown that research experiences for undergraduate students increase retention and confidence in STEM fields, factors that are particularly important for women and minorities.
  • students get to see role models and are excited about the many amazing technology career paths they can pursue.
  • The National Science Foundation’s most recent (2012) report shows that computer science has the lowest proportion of women receiving bachelor degrees of all the STEM fields. The percentage dipped to a mere 11 percent from 2007 to 2009 and gradually returned to 14 percent by 2013 to 2014.

      More than one department from one school? Curriculum sharing between different schools in different districts? This is the true target of authentic collaboration and PLNs.
  • The Virtual Library of Instruction (11) hosts many excellent unit plans designed at the University of Georgia's by Dr. Peter Smagorinsky's secondary English majors. Scroll down to see units listed by grade. Titles listed in pink are the best.

      Personal interest in improving strategies surrounding writing instruction (CLAs, expository writing, SBAC constructed responses).
  • Some of the sites I discovered were created by college professors and might be too difficult for students who are not academically gifted. Nonetheless, there are treasures here
  • Technology still hasn't solved the biggest time crunch: reading, responding, and grading essays. "And let me tell you," she laughs, "My grading inbox is frightening." Nor does technology alleviate the need for her presence "They want me there, commenting. But I can't always be there as much as I want to be."

      WriteToLearn and similar grading software (Intelligent Essay Assessor, Criterion) will become an option for teachers to grade elements of an essay that can be "counted".

  • Teacher: We Are Pawns in Someone Else’s Game
  • Schools market a product. It’s called education. It’s called reading and writing and math and social studies and science. It is called college and career readiness. But most importantly, it’s called hope and dreams. It is the future we market.
  • Or at least we used to. Nowadays, we’re forced to market high test scores and low suspension rates.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • At the end of the day, public schools can be the saviors of a nation. As the only institution in America that routinely sees 50 million young people a day, we have a chance to redefine our future. But instead of leading the way, we have lost our way and our mission, once clear as a bright sunny day, has become muddied and incoherent. Business and politics have so polluted our ranks that it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish among educational, political and business leaders
  • We give lip service to what is best for kids, but operationally, we don’t follow through. We are not allowed to. If we did what was best for kids, we would enforce behavioral codes uniformly, restructure our secondary schools to create a relationship rich culture, reform funding structures to ensure equality in opportunity, build strong home school partnerships and reestablish the teaching profession as the expert in all matters educational.
  • Until we regain our leadership role, public education will continue to be bullied and dragged into the mud. Teachers’ unions at all levels must reinvent themselves as leaders in best practices, and until that occurs, they will continue to loose footing with both the public and legal infrastructures of our country. Education leaders have embraced the conversation about single data point testing, instead of fighting against the flawed logic driving it. In backroom conversations, we all talk about the absurdity of it, but in public view, we refuse to take the lead, instead ignoring common sense and the legions of evidence that undermine its credibility.

      Having an interactive word wall would add a new level to the content. Making the word wall come to life would provide way for the students to learn content in another modality (principles of UDL come into play here).
