Common-Core Testing Drives 'Tech Prep' Priorities - Education Week - 0 views

  • 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.
    • lstormvt
       
      Yes, but some skill lesson has to happen or poor habits will develop and their skills will bottom out way to soon.
  • asked her students to practice typing by using a free online program at home for 20 minutes, twice a week,
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 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.
    • lstormvt
       
      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.
    • lstormvt
       
      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.
    • lstormvt
       
      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.

Six social-media skills every leader needs | McKinsey & Company - 0 views

  • here’s a mismatch between the logic of participatory media and the still-reigning 20th-century model of management and organizations, with its emphasis on linear processes and control. Social media encourages horizontal collaboration
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Corporate culture traditional leadership models still based on the ideals of industrialism- not unlike public education in the US. We need more horizontal classrooms.
  • The dynamics of social media amplify the need for qualities that have long been a staple of effective leadership
    • Eric Telfer
       
      You don't need to throw out the baby with the bath water with social media and traditional leadership traits. 
  • Leaders need to excel at cocreation and collaboration—the currencies of the social-media world
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of emotional currency, EQ.

  • The six dimensions of social-media-literate leadership

      Re- leader as designer, steward, teacher.
  • instant communication
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Not always a desirable attribute- instant communication can equal misinformation and inaccuracies. Take 24-7 news. Misinformation is often disseminated because of the pressure to get the information out quickly, rather than accurately. 
  • ncorporate video streams into their blogs
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Required for class multimedia projects?
  • That unease soon vanished with practice
    • Eric Telfer
       
      As is the case with most switches.
  • Leveraging
    • Eric Telfer
       
      I think that this is one of social media's greatest asset. 
  • Equally important is the skill of creating and sustaining a body of social followers who help to spread and reinforce the message.
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Value of PLNs as leaders in tech integration.
  • n traditional corporate communications, consumption is a mostly passive act: you are pretty much left alone to make sense of messages and to assess their authenticity and credibility. In the social-media realm, information gets shared and commented on within seconds
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Good for efficient leverage, but lends itself to "knee-jerk" reactions. This will cut down on analysis paralysis, though. 
  • engage more closely with stakeholders
    • Eric Telfer
       
      Parents about classroom events, assignments, projects, papers etc...
  • To achieve this goal, leaders must become tutors and strategic orchestrators of all social-media activities within their control
    • Eric Telfer
       
      At school, who is giving us the time to invest in social media literacy for all?
  • agile
    • Eric Telfer
       
      able to change/adapt to emerging (educational) technologies.
  •  
    Nice descriptions of what we are trying to prepare our students for in the work of work, especially with respect to desirable leadership traits and responsibilities in the business world.
