Letting It Marinade - Tech Thoughts By Jen - 0 views

  • The new tools don’t always make sense right away and I tend to be a bit hesitant rather than “rah rah rah” check this out.   And if I don’t get it, I tend to put it on the back burner for a while and then come back later with a fresh viewpoint.  In fact, with delicious, one of my most popular tags is “comebacktolater” because I can see possible potential in the site but am not able to put my finger on just what that potential is. And it is important at times to marinade.  To take the time to figure it out and not put a stamp of approval on a tool that perhaps should not carry that stamp.  My teachers depend a lot on my help and trust that when I present to them, it is tried and true and not just a whim.  So, it it good sometimes, to not rush into the “newest and best” until I can say for sure that it is.

    Very wise advice. Sometimes we just need to let things "marinade".

  • control is over. This is not about control anymore. This is about finding a way to survive and thrive in chaos.
  • We can’t roll back the clock to an earlier age without computers, without Internet, without the subtle but profound distraction of text messaging. The school is of its time, not out it.
  • The role of the instructor has changed
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • helps the students find the material available online, and helps them to make sense of it, contextualizing and informing their understanding. even as the students continue to work their way through the ever-growing set of information.
  • The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere.
  • the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
  • Education happens everywhere, not just with your nose down in a book, or stuck into a computer screen
  • Many students will never be very computer literate, but every single one of them has a mobile handset, and every single one of them sends text messages.
  • net filtering throws the baby out with the bathwater
  • Services like Twitter get filtered out because they could potentially be disruptive, cutting students off from the amazing learning potential of social messaging. Facebook and MySpace are seen as time-wasters, rather than tools for organizing busy schedules
  • media sites are blocked because the schools don’t have enough bandwidth to support them; Wikipedia is blocked because teachers don’t want students cheating.
  • Filtering, while providing a stopgap, only leaves students painfully aware of how disconnected the classroom is from the real world.
  • the maxim of the 21st century: connection is king
  • Students must be free to connect with instructors
  • difficult for instructors to manage, but it is vital.
  • Connection is expensive, not in dollars, but in time. But for all its drawbacks, connection enriches us enormously.
  • We need to let go, we need to trust ourselves enough to recognize that what we have now, though it worked for a while, is no longer fit for the times.

    I've always enjoyed using music to teach for various reasons, I can say that one reason is that after listening to music everybodyis in a better mood, also because it makes learning much more fun and teaching as well. Eventhough finding music to use in classis not the challenge it was when I started teaching, and some books have songs built in their lessons still Ithink it is great to have all those alternatives Larry gives at hand and I'msureI'm goingto use them.

    I'm sure you will, and you'll also see possibilities for learners to find their own songs and put on a blog, wiki or webpages.

    Chris Moisés suggested this link here. I'm part of the workshop Tony Karrer is talking about, but just as a lurker as I'm really focusing on our online session. However, the great thing of online sessions is that there are many open ones which let you access the resources whenever you want. Next week, they'll be talking about what? Social bookmarking! We're way ahead, huh???
