Why Schools Must Move Beyond One-to-One Computing | November Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Comment from a superintendent who visited a number of one-to-one schools: "All of them were about the stuff, with a total lack of vision." Alan November: "In every case of failure I have observed, the one-to-one computing plan puts enormous focus on the device itself, the enhancement of the network, and training teachers to use the technology. Then, teachers are instructed to go! But go where? That's the critical question that must be addressed first."

Predictions about Technology in K-12 and Higher Education for 2025 | Larry Cuban on Sch... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

    "K-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."

The Trouble with Leadership Theories - HBR - 1 views

  • Rob’s answer wasn’t really what Collins meant by Level-5 leadership. Yet it was powerful in its own right. I could understand where Rob stood and what he believed. The power, of course, didn’t come from just his words; it came from his strong connection to them. That connection was missing when he tried to use Level-5 leadership as shorthand for his own thinking.
  • The statements are powerful because they’re not polished. They’re just what you believe
  • The language of leadership has become so cookie-cutter and cliché that we filter it out. Of course, the act of great leadership is never cliché. It’s an art. It should be informed by smart research, yet it should be shaped by on-the-ground experience. Both are critical.
