    The Maker Movement seeks to integrate the use of technology in creation.  While this article is not specifically about technology, the mindset informing the movement recognizes technology as a powerful tool for student centered learning.

  • “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder,” states Sandberg. She describes how Lori Goler, now Global Head of People at Facebook, first asked Sheryl about how she could work with her at Facebook, “I think I want to apply to work with you at Facebook, so I thought about calling you and telling you about all the things I’m good and all the things I like doing, but I figured everyone is doing that. So I just want to know what is your biggest problem and how can I solve it.”
  • AOL’s MAKERS Conference brought together the most influential women across the country to empower and inspire women and young girls to break the glass ceiling and strive for equality.

      Worth the 7min of your time...
  • Right now there is an aspiring teacher who is working on a 60-page paper based on some age-old education theory developed by some dead education professor wondering to herself what this task that she's engaging in has to do with what she wants to do with her life
  • Right now there is an aspiring teacher in a graduate school of education who is watching a professor babble on and on about engagement in the most disengaging way possible
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • "Don't smile till November," because that's what she was taught in her teacher education program.
  • make better teachers
  • So why does teacher education only give you theory and theory and tell you about standards and tell you about all of these things that have nothing to do with the basic skills, that magic that you need to engage an audience, to engage a student?
  • content and theories with the absence of the magic of teaching and learning means nothing.
  • And if we could transform teacher education to focus on teaching teachers how to create that magic then poof! we could make dead classes come alive, we could reignite imaginations, and we can change education.

    " What do rap shows, barbershop banter and Sunday services have in common? As Christopher Emdin says, they all hold the secret magic to enthrall and teach at the same time - and it's a skill we often don't teach to educators. A longtime teacher himself, now a science advocate and cofounder of Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. with the GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, Emdin offers a vision to make the classroom come alive. "

    I love that he sees teachers as magic makers, people who "reignite imaginations." Teaching is so much more than memorization of facts and meeting standards. We must excite our students as future life long learners...

    A very interesting essay comparing curation to mixed tapes. As a child of the 80s and maker of many mixed tapes, the analogy works for me. It helped me visualize the beauty and effect of Storify or Diigo. Warning: the writer is promoting his next product, but regardless his analogy works.

  • Teachers Vow Fight Against Proposed Spending Cap On Schools

  • “It is an assault on voters’ intelligence to suggest that they don’t know how to analyze their own school budgets and vote accordingly,” says Darren Allen, spokesman for the Vermont teachers union
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Their new plan to impose spending caps on school budgets might help accomplish that goal
  • The cap means officials could not present to voters any budget plan that resulted in a more than 2 percent increase in per-pupil costs. And it’s this language that teachers object to the most. Allen says it’s a blunt policy instrument that will inflict serious harm on public schools.
  • If a vote for a community exceeds 2 percent per pupil in expenditures, it’s deemed to have failed,” Sharpe says
  • But the most contentious provision in the bill calls for a hard cap on per-pupil spending increases.
  • But even diehard proponents of education funding reform say the House Education Committee’s approach could do more harm than good.
  • “It’s unfortunate, taking away more authority from local school boards and local decision makers and local voters,” Scheuermann says.
  • The House Committee on Ways and Means will d
  • bate the proposed spending cap when lawmakers return to Montpelier next week. Sh
  • arpe says the version of the cap in the education committee’s bill is admittedly flawed, insofar as it fails to recognize various factors that might make a per-pupil spending increases of more than 2 percent necessary for some districts.

  • Evidence shows that students who create visual representations of a concept are more likely to retain information than those who do not.

      Book trailers are a way for students to show their understanding of a book in a visual way. It's also a great way for them to be creative and have fun!
  • The first step for students is creating a visual representation, or storyboard, of the video they hope to produce. The storyboard will help them clarify their topic and theme, and synthesize the information they hope to convey.

      Some great examples to use as a model for students when they are starting off.
  • In the classroom, book trailers are a fresh way for students to summarize what they have read while breaking out of the traditional book report format.
  • ow that a storyboard has been established, it’s time to put those tech skills to work! There are many software options for making a book trailer, including Photo Story and Windows Movie Maker, but for a truly theatrical experience, I prefer Apple’s iMovie.
  • I like to assign each student a role such as “film editor” or “art director” in order to make the project more personalized. You may also want to assign the role of “technical director” to an expert who can solve minor technical glitches.
  • What better way to celebrate student success than to have a screening party!
