College Presidents Have Problems With Obama's Message On Tuition : The Two-Way : NPR - 0 views

College Presidents Obama Tuition

shared by Aaron Fischer on 27 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • His message to colleges and universities: "You can't assume that you'll just jack up tuition every single year. If you can't stop tuition from going up, then the funding you get from taxpayers each year will go down."
  • "The president wants to mimic the 'Race to the Top' program used to reform K-12 education, by creating Race to the Top grants for colleges and universities that come up with ways to keep tuition in check. Higher ed officials say this smells like another example of federal overreach into higher ed, a system which, as the president acknowledged in his speech at the University of Michigan today, is viewed by many as the world's finest.

    Frontline did a program on students spending all of their time online while growing up. Students can connect with so many people with social media. That can be a good and a bad thing. There are a lot of safety issues students need to know about with social media. This program talks about who should talk to students about the safety of social media and what needs to be said.

QR CODE technology communication too UNIETD

shared by Nelson Rokke on 07 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Share Wi-Fi access. I wrote this up a while back, but it's pretty great: Wifi Joiner lets you create and post a QR code that embeds access info for your wireless network. This is great for home networks, coffee shops, and plenty of other places. For the moment, though, it's Android-only.
  • Get reminders as you leave the house. If you use an online task manager like Google Tasks or Remember The Milk, it's easy to create a tag called "Leaving the House," "Leaving Work," etc., then create a QR code directing to that page. Post it at the door, or anywhere else you'll be sure to see it when leaving, then scan it for reminders of things you need to do before leaving. At the very least, you won't forget your phone anymore! Have you come up with some awesome uses for QR codes? Let us know.
  • Nelson Rokke on 07 Feb 12
     
    QR codes are everywhere, and for good reason. They're easy to make, easier to scan, and are terrific for delivering info quickly and broadly (or narrowly, if you like). It seems likely that they're evolving, but they're still superuseful right now, and smart folks are uncovering all sorts of cool ways to make the most of them.

  • In 1970, the U.S. had the highest rates of high school graduation in the world, now it has one of the lowest.
  • now around 75 percent, which puts America 23rd out of 28 countries surveyed.
  • They are mentors, coaches, motivators, and lifelong sources of inspiration to their students.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • 'drop out'
  • high schools every day, close to 1.5 million a year.
  • According to one estimate, if the numbers of young people leaving school early could be cut by 50 percent, the net gain to the U.S. economy from savings in social programs and gains in additional tax revenues could be around $90 billion a year - that's almost $1 trillion in just over ten years.
  • One of the themes of TEDTalks Education is that current policies are based on a tragic misdiagnosis of the problem. They treat education as an industrial process rather than as a human one. They are driven by a culture of testing and standardization that has narrowed the curriculum and sees students as data points and teachers as functionaries rather than as living breathing people.
  • To improve our schools, we have to humanize them and make education personal to every student and teacher in the system.
  • The key to personalizing education is to invest properly in the professional development of educators. As Bill Gates argues, teachers need mentors too.

  • Teaching is an art form. Great teachers know they have to cultivate curiosity, passion and creativity in their students.
  • achievement soars when teachers fire the imaginations of their students with a true spirit of inquiry.
  • All students have their own stories, motivations and circumstances and teachers have to connect with them personally.
  • "Everyone has a story," she says. "Everyone has a struggle and everyone needs help along the way."
  • We have millions of young people walking away from education, he says. But "right now, we could save them all," if we're prepared to innovate fundamentally and not just do more of the same.
  • "Every child," she says, "deserves a champion who will never give up on them... and insists they become the best they can possibly be."
  • give them the creative freedom to innovate and do their jobs within a proper framework of public accountability.
  • There are those who say that we can't afford to personalize education to every student. The fact is that we can't afford not to.
