      It seems to me, from articles that I have read recently, that these ideas have been circulating within educational domains for a number of years. And yet, not a lot seems to have changed. Are there larger forces at work here, keeping our teaching and learning practices static rather dynamic?
  • This is a story about the big public conversation the nation is not having about education, the one that will ultimately determine not merely whether some fraction of our children get "left behind" but also whether an entire generation of kids will fail to make the grade in the global economy because they can't think their way through abstract problems, work in teams, distinguish good information from bad or speak a language other than English.
  • we need to bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st century.

  • Knowing more about the world
  • Thinking outside the box
  • Becoming smarter about new sources of information
  • Developing good people skills
  • Global Student
  • All students take some classes in either Japanese or Spanish. Other subjects are taught in English, but the content has an international flavor
  • Exposure to world cultures
  • Depth over breadth and the ability to leap across disciplines
  • video-conferencing with sister schools in Japan, Africa and Mexico
  • international mindedness
  • Real Knowledge in the Google Era
  • Any number of old-school assignments--memorizing the battles of the Civil War or the periodic table of the elements--now seem faintly absurd. That kind of information, which is poorly retained unless you routinely use it, is available at a keystroke .

      Needed: real, deep knowledge that is able to question and challenge; critical thinking and the ability to make "connections between ideas" (Wallis 2006).
  • Any number of old-school assignments--memorizing the battles of the Civil War or the periodic table of the elements--now seem faintly absurd. That kind of information, which is poorly retained unless you routinely use it, is available at a keystroke
  • "portable skills"--critical thinking, making connections between ideas and knowing how to keep on learning
  • key concepts that are taught in depth and in careful sequence, as opposed to a succession of forgettable details

      Consider multi-literacies.
  • documentary
  • the elusive nature of truth
  • what we know and how we know it
  • "If truth is difficult to prove in history, does it follow that all versions are equally acceptable?"

      We must explicitly teach these skills.

  • assessments that are livelier and more current and multimedia-based than printed textbooks
  • bring their methods--along with the curriculum--into line with the way the modern world works
  • . That means putting a greater emphasis on teaching kids to collaborate and solve problems in small groups and apply what they've learned in the real world.

      Key point. How? Makes me think of 'SMS poems' idea...
  • At suburban Farmington High in Michigan, the engineering-technology department functions like an engineering firm, with teachers as project managers, a Ford Motor Co. engineer as a consultant and students working in teams.

      Interesting! Could this work for a high school English department?

      Sort of like scaffolding.
  • eliminating those classroom practices that encourage and promote such lazy thinking and research, replacing them with activities that are more challenging and more worthwhile.

      Goal: critical thinking so that students can formulate and communicate their OWN ideas.
  • The lack of defining and challenging questions to shape the research permits a HUGE range of activities.
  • Questions of import usually require that students wrestle with difficult challenges and build their own answers rather than relying upon the thinking of others.

      Questions that require research AND critical thinking about the information that is found (i.e. evaluation of the information to develop own ideas).
  • This type of research is much more demanding than copy-and-paste research, but ultimately more rewarding and more empowering because it equips students to wrestle with the real issues of their own lives.
  • Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. 2. Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.
