  • scientific research and policy statements lag behind the pace of digital innovation
  • The 2011 AAP policy statement Media Use by Children Younger Than Two Years was drafted prior to the first generation iPad and explosion of apps aimed at young children.

  • An interactive product requires more than “pushing and swiping” to teach
  • Play a video game with your kids
  • co-viewing is essential
  • Tech use, like all other activities, should have reasonable limits

Educational Leadership:The Transition Years:Positive Digital Footprints - 1 views

  • One of my worst fears as [my children] grow older is that they won't be Googled well. … that when a certain someone (read: admissions officer, employer, potential mate) enters "Tess Richardson" into the search line of the browser, what comes up will be less than impressive. That a quick surf through the top five hits will fail to astound with examples of her creativity, collaborative skills, and change-the-world work. Or, even worse, that no links about her will come up at all. (p. 16)
  • Students who see digital tools as vehicles for collective action around ideas they believe in are less likely to engage in risky behaviors online because they see social media spaces as forums for learning first and entertainment second
  • begin to paint complex digital portraits of themselves by networking with like-minded peers, joining groups committed to studying topics of deep personal interest to them, and creating products that are an accurate expression of who they are and what they believe in.

  • Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards
  • In teaching, as in life, maximizing meaning from experiences requires reflection.
  • Every school's goal should be to habituate reflection throughout the organization—individually and collectively, with teachers, students, and the school community
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • the school needs to create an atmosphere for reflection
  • a time and a place for looking backward and inward, not forward and outward
  • We are going to take a break from what we have been doing, stand back, and ask ourselves, What have we learned from doing our work today?
  • the tradition in education is to simply discard what has happened and move on to new topics. This episodic approach is reflected in both classroom instruction and assessment and in change efforts as schools frantically strive to stay abreast of an array of educational improvements and mandates. Knowledgeable, vigilant, and reflective organizations, however, view school change from a broader perspective—as a process of revealing and emancipating
  • In reflective schools, there is no such thing as failure—only the production of personal insights from one's experiences.

  • Collecting work provides documentation for comparing students' levels of knowledge and performance at the beginning, middle, and end of a project.
  • Providing sentence stems might stimulate more thoughtful reflections during portfolio conferences (where reflection can be modeled) or as an option for those who need a "jump start" for reflections: I selected this piece of writing because. . . .
