  • Blended learning, including “flipped” classrooms, continue to spread across the country. Many teacher and principal bloggers tout how they have integrated the use of new devices into daily lessons, including lessons for Common Core standards
  • With all of the above occurring, one would think that by 2025, age-graded schools and the familiar teaching and learning that occurs today in K-12 and universities  would have exited the rear door. Not so.
  • etting access to powerful electronic devices for all students and teachers is surely a victory for those who believe in better technologies solving teaching and learning problems. But access does not dictate use, especially the kind of use that vendors and  technophiles ardently seek
  • In the past four years, I have predicted that textbooks will be digitized, online learning will spread, and the onset of computer testing will create more access to devices across schools and accelerate classroom usage. These developments will occur incrementally over the next decade and will be obvious to observers but hardly dominant in K-12 age-graded schools.
  • While higher education textbooks  have shifted markedly to e-books and less expensive ways of getting content into students’ devices, the K-12 market remains a proprietary domain of a handful of publishers (e.g. Pearson, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and McGraw-Hill Education) in part due to the mechanics of  certain states (e.g.Florida, California, and Texas) dominating which texts get chosen.
  • 12 online learning will also spread slowly, very slowly, as blended learning and “flipped” classrooms gain traction. Both of these innovative twists on traditional classroom teaching, however, will reinforce the age-graded school, not dismantle it.

    It surprises me that Cuban thinks the age-graded school will be reinforced by online learning. I would tend to think just the opposite, and I would like to look for other articles that envision the future of technology K-12.

    Without doubt, the internet has created a serious issue in regards to intellectual property rights and the protection of those rights. Prior to the broad usage of the internet and availability of free software, it was much more difficult to steal another's works. Indeed, people copied albums onto cassette tapes, and others plagiarized books in order to garner better grades at school, but the incidences were not as widespread, and not necessarily for profit. Today, however, "stealing" has become mainstream.

Education World: Keyboarding Skills: When Should They Be Taught? - 0 views

  • Most research supports starting students on formal keyboarding around grade 4,
  • We encourage students to pretend there's a line down the middle of the keyboard and to keep the right hand to the right of the line and the left hand to the left. We also encourage them to type with more than one finger because they may tend to use just the index finger. For later instruction, it's good for students to develop the habit of using more than one finger early on."
  • "If you combine keyboarding with letter-recognition and hand-eye coordination activities in grades K-3, then you provide a developmentally appropriate skill that helps reinforce classroom learning and develop fine motor skills,"

Laws in today's digital age - 0 views

  •  
    The rapid growth of the digital economy, enabled by broadband penetration, and coupled with increases in computing power and storage, creates global markets for content and rights holders. But it also creates a threat that - without adequate controls - piracy will damage the creative industries. The discussion paper on which this article is based, "Intellectual property rights in today's digital economy", therefore focuses in particular on the ways that the growing digital economy is impinging on copyright.

Christopher Emdin: Teach teachers how to create magic | Talk Video | TED.com - 1 views

      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...

6 tips on implementing new technologies in your organization - 0 views

  • Ask questions and don’t be afraid of the answers. What are competitors, customers, and business partners doing?
    • sfauver
       
      Other barns are using this software
  • Who is being hurt? Identify employees (and groups) this is a problem for and tailor your solution to their unique needs
    • sfauver
       
      This may be harder for less "tech-y" participants to implement
  • How big is the problem? How much money, efficiency, productivity, etc. is in play here? Does it make sense for your organization to implement new technology, or is there a better alternative? What’s the timeframe? Are you under a deadline to get something done, or do you have enough time to adequately test and prepare the right solution?
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Here’s a quick checklist to follow:
  • From there, publicize a target timeframe for the tech rollout, and be transparent about it. If there are setbacks, explain what happened and why. Keep employees engaged and up-to-date on what’s happening. Ultimately, this engagement will help you get to the finish line with your goals for this new technology solution. Because if people aren’t positively motivated, even the best new tools won’t be helpful.
  • Finally, it’s important to understand how long an implementation cycle can take. Because of the nature of today’s consumer-led technologies, this is often a process that can take more than a year or longer.
  • For example, you can have the right technology implemented poorly.
  • Or the wrong technology implemented correctly.
  • From your perspective, you’re bringing improvement—saving employees time, allowing them to be more flexible, improving productivity, improving sales and profits, etc. But from employees’ and departments’ point of view, you’re rocking the boat, telling them to change how they’ve always been doing things, give up precious tools, learn and carry around new devices and the like.

    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?

What Kind of Leader Are You? Traits, Skills and Styles - 4 views

  • The autocratic style is one in which a single person takes control and makes decisions, directing others in his or her chosen course of action. Lewin’s team found that this was the most unsatisfactory leadership style with the youth groups. In a democratic leadership style, one person takes control but is open to group input, often allowing the group to make decisions and collectively assign tasks. This leader guides rather than directs. This was the most popular leadership style in the youth groups and garnered the greatest positive response. With the laissez-faire approach, the person in charge stepped back and did nothing. He or she provided no direction or guidance. The group was disorganized and unproductive.
  • Modern leadership traits and skills Since the advancement of situational leadership, a number of other leadership styles have been identified. Peter Economy, also known as "The Leadership Guy," recently listed the qualities of today's best leadership in an Inc.com article. He encourages embodiment of these merits at all times to achieve phenomenal results. They are: Decisiveness Awareness Focus Accountability Empathy Confidence Optimism Honesty Inspiration
  •  
    This was really interesting because it talked about situational leadership and how all of the listed kinds are great in different situations. It opened my eyes a bit to see how not one style is the right style.
