  • But new technology enables girls to be even meaner, Australia's foremost expert on cyber bullying says.
  • Victim paranoia was heightened when, as happens online, the bully was anonymous.
  • Yet if the damage to the cyber victim is potentially greater, so too is the potential damage to perpetrators when exposed.

      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.

      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.

  • 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 .

  • 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
