Coursekit Raises $5 Million to Reinvent the Classroom - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Coursekit is a new tool that lets teachers and educators create mini social networks around individual courses and lectures.
  • The goal of the service, said Joseph Cohen, its co-founder and chief executive, is to take some of the most successful elements of social networking — especially the fluid exchange of ideas that comes natural to online interactions — to revitalize the education experience. Students are already accustomed to interacting online and supplementing their daily lives with the Web and social media. Why should that stop when it comes to learning? “Our education experience is truly offline,” he said. “We want to build what Facebook has done for your personal life, but for your school.”
  • Using Coursekit’s software, teachers can upload homework assignments, answer questions, grade work and facilitate discussions with their students. In addition, students can use the software to chat with one another, collaborate on projects and share relevant materials with their classmates

  • Coursekit is free to both the instructors and students that want to have access to it. The company says its main focus is attracting users, not making money

    The primary purpose of blog is to facilitate interaction between a teacher and his or her students. This is possible because a blog is a dynamic tool which can be easily updated or transformed as necessary to meet the needs of a science or math class. The integration of blog technology in a class requires an investment of time. Because of this commitment, additional evidence is needed to support the integration this technology in a science or math class curriculum.

    Videos are becoming such important tools for teachers, but one thing that stops many of us from using videos is making them: With all the other things we have to do, there's very little time to find the right video creation tool, learn how to use it, then actually create the videos.

  • 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

  • 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

      How does this work? Doesn't Delmatoff pay for her text?
  • “The cell phone is a parent-sponsored, parent-funded communication channel, and schools need to wrap their mind around it to reach and engage the kids,”
  • About 100 students participated. Through polls taken before and after the program, Meinhardt determined that students spent between four to five fewer hours per week on Facebook and MySpace when the extra assignments had been implemented. “They were just as happy to do work rather than talk trash,” Delmatoff says. “All they wanted was to be with their friends

  • When you get in the business world,” Meinhardt says, “All of [a] sudden it’s like, ‘OK, work with this group of people.’ It’s collaborative immediately. And we come unprepared to collaborate on projects
  • Social media as a teaching tool has a natural collaborative element. Students critique and comment on each other’s assignments, work in teams to create content, and can easily access each other and the teacher with questions or to start a discussion
  • Delmatoff would send text messages to wake chronically absent kids up before school or send messages like, “I see you at the mini-mart” when they were running late (there’s a mini-mart visible from the school). She called the program “Texts on Time,” and it improved chronic absenteeism by about 35% without costing the school a dime

    This is a great site that I have used for many years. I have used it with elementary (5th grade) students several years However, teachers should know that you need to monitor and teach use of this site. It is essentially a social networking site and the kids will learn to use it as such very quickly. There are adult themed books as well as independent groups where inappropriate discussions take place. I have emailed Shelfari and asked if they plan to make an education version or limited account option for use with students. That being said I think it's a great platform for teaching those essential netiquette skills!
