  • I was entranced.
  • I felt determined that a whole new paradigm for schooling was required: the ‘factory model’ of schooling was dead.
  • I was enraptured by his stories of creativity and enriching personalisation
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • I had forgotten that the reality of education is a more gritty and compromised state of affairs: with politicians, Unions, teachers and the public
  • enlightening scientific evidence that a fluent speaker can acutally fool us into thinking we have learnt more than we actually have
  • I had been seduced by the cult of personality
  • I was looking for something like answers for systematic school change, yet all I found were charming individual examples and beguiling prose.
  • maintain my infinite hope invested in an education system that improves marginally day by day, by gritty perseverance.
  • Sir Ken’s latest speech was another barn-storming performance. But beyond the frilly knickers of the performance we are left searching for the less aesthetically pleasing undergarments that are the practical answers for change.
  • Thousands of hours of ‘deliberate practice’ enable creativity
  • repeating the rules of grammar with sometimes deadening repetition can actually create the mastery required for playful creativity and rule breaking.
  • I will take his glamorous TED talks with more than a pinch of salt.
  • No call for creativity by Sir Ken would provide a universal panacea to the grey, ambiguous reality of schooling
  • a fluent speaker can acutally fool us into thinking we have learnt more than we actually have in comparison to a less fluent speaker

    I love how this article is framed. "Still, is this shift in pedagogy and policy worth the effort? Will sound, traditional writing instruction still suffice, or do we need to reframe the way we teach students to write due to the global, online spaces they will frequent more in their lives? In an August 2009 Wired article, Andrea Lunsford, professor of writing and rhetoric at Stanford University, offered her own research to suggest that students are writing in environments far removed from those from even a generation ago. "I think we're in the midst of a literacy revolution the likes of which we haven't seen since Greek civilization," she says. According to her five-year study of student writing, technology is pushing writing literacy in new directions that educators must begin to make sense of. "

    This is a wonderful article that focuses on science virtual field trips. The destinations include great places like the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and Zoological Park and a tour of the virtual human body! I could definitely create a virtual field trip to explore different types of animals in my classification and diversity of life unit. I could also make a great "tour inside the human body" using a virtual reality human body interactive.

  • 5 How can you use QR codes in education? Here are some ideas for using QR codes in education that I have found and especially like. These are all from my recent reading on the web. The sources of all of these ideas are in the ‘Read more…’ section at the bottom of this post. Add a QR code url to extra reading/resources on the final slide of a PowerPoint presentation in a talk. Participants with QR code readers can scan it before they leave. (Of course it’s also a good idea to include the url in full on your slide for those without a QR reader! The idea is that for those who have readers, it saves copying down an url letter by letter.) Include QR codes in published books, journals, or on paper handouts, which link to further resources. Especially for academic text books and course books, this has great potential, imho. Create a series of QR codes and attach them to physical objects in or outside the classroom, as part of a treasure hunt. Each code can supply a clue and a link to further information, which students need to collect to complete the treasure hunt. Students research a topic and present their findings in posters which are stuck on the classroom walls. The students create and include QR codes in the poster presentations, which link to online multimedia resources connected to the project topic. An excellent way to create low-tech multimedia poster presentations!

  • Twitter is a Web 2.0 utility that asks the question "What are you up to?" It's a microblogging platform that allows users to share small tidbits about their current activities, locations, plans, and more. I can send out a Twitter update using my cell phone or my blog or by logging into the Twitter Web site.
