    The fuzzy front end of innovation confronts you with a lot of questions. For the new edition of my book Creating innovative Products and Services,  I have posted a question on front-end innovation struggles to innovation practitioners in more than 20 Linkedin groups. The response was massive. I made a list of forty reasons why people struggle starting innovation in their companies in daily practice.

    The remarkable thing about having only 30 minutes to introduce this very large topic with my students but doing so with iPads, is that all 29 5th graders are sitting on the rug in front of me with a camera, digital darkroom, and publishing suite resting on their laps!

    "Telling a brief story around a single photograph seems like such a simple idea. Add to that a sharing element and you think: another clever web platform to distract and amuse us. But there's a lot more to Cowbird.The interface is beautiful, as one would expect from Jonathan Harris, Cowbird's creator. The Web artist and programmer behind the 2006 Web project "We Feel Fine," Harris thinks big. His goal with Cowbird: nothing less than to create "the world's first library of human experience," according to the site.While you can add audio, the focus is on the image, which floats front and center, full screen, with the accompanying story beneath in plain text. To get a feel, you'll need to spend some time with the stories posted thus far, as the site suggests."

    Turns out sitting your 5-year-old in front of the PBS Kids website while you make dinner or encouraging your fourth grader to play "Math Missions" on your iPad after school is not necessarily enough to ensure they learn from the experience.

    Student-Centered Coaching introduces a new way of looking at and delivering school-based coaching that puts the needs of students' front-and-center.  By focusing coaching on specific goals for student learning, rather than on changing or fixing teachers, a coach can navigate directly towards a measurable impact and increased student achievement.

  • we are educators, not nannies. We are educated professionals who work with kids every day and often see your child in a different light than you do. If we give you advice, don't fight it.
  • if you're willing to take early warning advice to heart, it can help you head off an issue that could become much greater in the future.
  • Parents, be a partner instead of a prosecutor
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Please, take a step back and get a good look at the landscape. Before you challenge those low grades you feel the teacher has "given" your child, you might need to realize your child "earned" those grades and that the teacher you are complaining about is actually the one that is providing the best education. And please, be a partner instead of a prosecutor
  • never talk negatively about a teacher in front of your child. If he knows you don't respect her, he won't either, and that will lead to a whole host of new problems. We know you love your children. We love them, too. We just ask -- and beg of you -- to trust us, support us and work with the system, not against it.

    "we are educators, not nannies. We are educated professionals who work with kids every day and often see your child in a different light than you do. If we give you advice, don't fight it. Take it, and digest it in the same way you would consider advice from a doctor or lawyer. I have become used to some parents who just don't want to hear anything negative about their child, but sometimes if you're willing to take early warning advice to heart, it can help you head off an issue that could become much greater in the future."

attention teaching differentiation assessment digital

shared by Katie Day on 26 Aug 11 - No Cached
  • We used a method that I call "collaboration by difference." Collaboration by difference is an antidote to attention blindness. It signifies that the complex and interconnected problems of our time cannot be solved by anyone alone, and that those who think they can act in an entirely focused, solitary fashion are undoubtedly missing the main point that is right there in front of them, thumping its chest and staring them in the face. Collaboration by difference respects and rewards different forms and levels of expertise, perspective, culture, age, ability, and insight, treating difference not as a deficit but as a point of distinction. It always seems more cumbersome in the short run to seek out divergent and even quirky opinions, but it turns out to be efficient in the end and necessary for success if one seeks an outcome that is unexpected and sustainable. That's what I was aiming for.
  • had the students each contribute a new entry or amend an existing entry on Wikipedia, or find another public forum where they could contribute to public discourse. There was still a lot of criticism about the lack of peer review in Wikipedia entries, and some professors were banning Wikipedia use in the classroom. I didn't understand that. Wikipedia is an educator's fantasy, all the world's knowledge shared voluntarily and free in a format theoretically available to all, and which anyone can edit. Instead of banning it, I challenged my students to use their knowledge to make Wikipedia better. All conceded that it had turned out to be much harder to get their work to "stick" on Wikipedia than it was to write a traditional term paper.

      Great quote - no effect on those that played video games.
  • For instance, a recent longitudinal study of 11,000 British children found that those who watched TV for 3 hours or more a day at age 5 had a small increase in behavioural problems two years later compared with those who watched for under an hour. But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games.
  • "It doesn't say anything about what you're using that time for."
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • When you separate the different types of screen out, the effects start to vary.
  • Passively watching TV is not the same as learning to read on a touchscreen, which is not the same as killing monsters on a console
  • First of all, lumping all screens into one category is not helpful. "Screen time is a really enticing measure because it's simple – it's usually described as the number of hours a day using screen-based technology. But it's completely meaningless,"
  • "Children will learn from what they watch, whether that means learning letters and numbers, slapstick humour or aggressive behaviour,
  • But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games.
  • "The best research suggests that the content children view is the best predictor of cognitive effects,"
  • The study found that all the children enjoy reading more when they look at stories using books and a touchscreen compared to just books.
  • But they found no effects at all for those who played computer games
  • rise in BMI
  • hard to tease apart whether screen time actually causes the effects or whether they are linked in some other way
  • "It is impossible to determine with certainty that TV is causing obesity, and it is likely that other factors are involved in the complex problem of childhood obesity,
  • Her own studies have shown that children who struggle to learn using books often made more progress with iPads.
  • research in schools also found that iPads made children more cooperative and helped quieter kids to speak up
  • children receive immediate feedback
  • children who watch age-appropriate, educational TV programmes often do better on tests of school readiness.
  • What is becoming clear is that it's not the technologies themselves we should be worried out but how they are used and how people interact with them
  • A lot of it is common sense. Don't unthinkingly hand over your device. There are educational apps whose benefits are backed up by research, says Flewitt.
  • Five hours sitting in front of the TV is not the same as 5 hours of some TV, a couple of hours playing on Dance Dance Revolution or some other kind of active game, followed by a Skype session with a grandparent.
