Chris Wright's Blog: My Educational Ideas for Blogs - 0 views

  • Blogs are a very good tool for hooking the digital learner into a subject they may not be very interested in learning about in the traditional manner.

Education Week: Swine-Flu Preparations Spur E-Learning Plans - 0 views

  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said. The organization has crafted instructions to help schools, districts, and states make use of the resources on Curriki that could be helpful in the event of school closures. For example, teachers can post content from their curricula or flag curricular materials that already exist in the Web site’s database of resources for student use, said Ms. Kurshan.

      The comment posted for technology class
  • clausen wrote: The district I work in is the third poorest school district in the state and many of the students with working-class families may not have access to computers with Internet. I realize that an alternative would be to create packets and assignments in hard copy to these students' homes but aside from the technologies discussed in this article and the paper alternative how do we reach those students who are "unplugged," from technology? Is it right for students with technology in his/her home to continue working with interactive lessons, wikis, and blogs that can be structured to accommodate reading and learning differences while other students can't? In turn, isn't this widening the learning gap between students in working-class families and upper-class families? 9/13/2009 12:14 AM EDT on EdWeek

  • In the midst of all of the “uproar” over the President’s planned speech to school kids on Tuesday, I keep thinking about what all of this says about schools, about what they are for, and about the perception that a lot of people in this country have of them.
  • no better place for my children to watch that speech (or any other, for that matter) than in a place where ideas are encouraged, where critical thinking about those ideas is a natural part of the conversation, and where appropriate response and debate can flourish. Where the adults in the room lead my kids to dig deeper, to validate facts, and consider the many levels of context in which every speech and every debate takes place. Where the discussion around it is such that it lays to rest the concern that many seem to have about this particular speech in general, that in some way the President will be able to “indoctrinate” our kids into some socialist mindset. If schools are the fully functioning learning communities that we hope they are, they should be the place where our kids learn to make sense of ideas, not to fear them. That, however, is not the message we are sending.

    Interesting article here. I like the selection of quotes that he, and his commenters, highlight, especially the one that mentions that working harder at something you are already doing isn't reform.

  • Best Practices Center's 21st Century Learning Project. The project helps teachers gain the skills needed to prepare students for a world dominated by digital technologies.
  • While many educators still see technology and the Internet as just ways to obtain or manage information, Tomlinson sees it as a lot more. "It's about whole new ways to work and think and learn, to conduct your business and your life," says Tomlinson.
  • With the right support and leadership, Tomlinson says, teachers can have the best of both worlds: they can build strong literacy skills while using technology to push students into higher levels of learning.

  • After each field trip, students create Webcasts documenting what they have seen and learned during their travels. "That's where these 21st-century tools can help us with our basic teaching and learning mission here at George Hall," Tomlinson says. "The children are actually talking about where they've been and what they've learned, using new vocabulary in authentic contexts." She
  • "a new kind of digital divide exists, one that 10 years from now will separate those who know how to use new media to band together online from those who don't."
  • "It will not be on 'official' channels and much of it will be 'under our radar' and on their own time. But this will change the relationships and deepen them between our classes. And more important, it changes our role as teachers and leaders of student learning."
