    This article puts forth the premise that if student transgressions with technology are handled early on with an open school, parent, and student communication loop - then there will be a decreased likelihood of a major transgression later on in life.

    After reading the article and as a parent myself. I tend to disagree with this article. Students learn by reading, seeing and applying. It's great to be book smart, but you need to know how to apply the smarts. I love my classes and the project based learning. I think that's all I do the majority of the day. It's great to be a teacher and facilitator at the same time. All students are different.

    This TedTalk presenter shares experiences in teaching kids that "we don't need to know the answer, and it's possible there isn't just one answer", but rather to inquire and learn through the inquiry. She encourages teachers to create opportunities for authentic experiences for students. Teaching is about: "experiential learning, empowering student voic, and embracing failure"

    Taking a risk means that failure is an option. Many students may see taking a risk as a negative. If we want students to take risks, we must not only create an environment that encourages students to take risks, but makes risk taking seem like the best option.

    We have fostered this lack of risk taken when every team wins a trophy at the end of the season.

    I wonder why this article didn't discuss the biggest penalty to risk-taking--grades. If we assign a project and tell students how to get an A, why would they take the risk, be creative and possibly fail? When students fail a paper, they should have the ability to re-write, learn fro their mistakes and improve their grade. But time and energy prevents most teachers from doing this.

    This article talks about how to encourage students to take risks in the classroom. These "risks" can range from just questioning to imagining to trying out something new. This is a very important higher order thinking skill that many students have trouble comprehending and acting on because they would rather stick with what they know (or what they think will get them the highest grade). I think the ideas in the article can be applied to high school classrooms as well as college classrooms.

    A great article about helping students be more creative by incorporating risk-taking activities in the classroom. Create an environment where taking risks are rewarded. Also start with small risk-taking activities and build up into more complex ones.
