  • The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity.
  • How might efforts to curate benefit from the portability and ubiquity of mobile devices? What would a “relevance portfolio” look like, where students catalog their daily encounters with ideas or experiences?
  • the task of the teacher is no longer to collect and distribute, but to empower students to curate their own collections of intellectual resources.

  • Evernote is one of the best apps to start to bridge this gap between the digital and physical.
  • Students can collect, organize and annotate web sites on Diigo, books on GoodReads, photos of Flickr, scholarly references on Zotero, music on SoundCloud, and anything and everything on a Tumblr or WordPress blog.
  • Touch App Creator allows users to organize eBooks, text, images, and web-based content together into web apps hosted on Google Drive.
  • In the spirit of Gardner’s beauty journals, we should aim not just to help students get organized, but to closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect.

    Excellent article- "The critical task is not finding information or stimuli, but organizing, cataloging, archiving, and developing habits and practices to exercise control over our surfeit of opportunity." So we need to help students get organized (a few key tools highlighted here for this) and "closely and intentionally examine what they read, watch, see, hear, and collect."

  • perhaps it is the inevitable result of focusing on knowledge instead of performance (which is inherently more engaging). Forgetfulness is constant: students rarely recall what was taught a few weeks ago. How can content move from short-term to long-term memory if there is always more content to memorize tomorrow? And test results reveal over and over that few students can transfer learning to new challenges and overcome basic misconceptions.

  • “The purpose of a statement of objectives is to indicate the kinds of changes in the student to be brought about so that the instructional activities can be planned and developed in a way likely to attain these objectives; that is to bring about these changes in students. Hence it is clear that a statement of objectives in terms of content headings…is not a satisfactory basis for guiding the further development of the curriculum. The most useful form for stating objectives is to express them in terms which identify both the kind of behavior to be developed in the student and the … area of life which this behavior is to operate.” pp. 45-7.

    For the past two years, the school dedicated significant time and resources to studying solutions that would place robust, versatile mobile computing devices in the hands of every student, empowering them to learn anywhere, any time, in any subject. During this time, faculty participated in several professional development training sessions focused on integrating new Internet resources and technology tools in the classroom.

    Has interesting chapter on Tablet Computing (page 15) with similar links to K12 report but does give an idea of where Higher Education is going. If we are trying to prepare students for the next stage of their education we should look at this. With their growing number of features, tablets give traction to other educational technologies - from facilitating the real-time data mining needed to support learning analytics to offering a plethora of game-based learning apps. Transitioning to tablets is relatively painless for students as they already use them or very similar devices outside of the classroom to download apps, connect to their social networks, and surf the web......." Also some idea in the chapter of usage of tablets in universities.

  • Many of us have been appalled by the behaviorist, corporate-styled policies known collectively as “school reform.
  • hose writings, in fact, eloquently explain the importance of having students construct ideas
  • Good teaching can't be imposed from above because it "doesn't rest on specific practices but on how well the educator actively thinks through hundreds of decisions that no program can script
  • In the end, policy makers and consultants cannot change what goes on in classrooms
  • All they can do is invite teachers to change what they do in classrooms.
  • They’re still orders.
  • “What do you need?  How can we help?”
  • Your job then is to be a buffer, protecting those who report to you from its worst effects rather than robotically implementing and enforcing what doesn’t make sense.

      Describes the 4 stages of technology integration - how can we begin to design learning so that it automatically scales to the available technology, the technology proficiency of that learner, and the personalized learning needs of the student? Interesting thought - Standards-based academic work struggles for gravity working against the unpredictability of mobile technology learners

      Many children are using many different devices-and using them often.  Even some pre-K children are using multiple devices. Smartphones are the  most commonly used mobile device; 43 percent of all children (pre-K-12),  and 60 percent of high school students, use a smartphone. One in three  children (34 percent) use tablets. Children use most devices daily or weekly,  with smartphones the most commonly and frequently used device.
