  • 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

  • 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.

    I know enough about hacking to make all of my software un-usable, mess up my operating system, and crash my PC. I also know enough about hacking to re-install my operating system, re-install all my software and get my PC running fresh and relatively secure. I'm no criminal hacker. And I am not suggesting that. Nor can I program; I

    Wow, Carla! I loved it! We really should start paying attention to everything he said. I agree with him when he says that we need a revolution in education.Get rid of that linearity concept that have invaded (and pervaded) the minds of many educational institutions- go to college. I loved the "a 3 year old child is not a half six year old child." How true! Thanks for sharing. :)

    Dear Lúcia, I'm glad you enjoyed it. He has another video about how we and schools kill creativity. It is really inspiring. Also, in relation to the non-linearity of learning, what you're experiencing in this online session is exactly that, learing how to deal with a non-linear online world and the messiness it implies, learning how to make sense of all that.

    Wikis are the most popular Web 2.0 tool being used in science and math classrooms. Based on a survey of readers - 43 percent use them to support their teaching and student learning. A Wiki is appealing, encourages participation, supports collaboration, and promotes interaction by students who love to use technology. By the way - this includes most students today!

  • rarely does one outside of a classroom have to juggle so many skills nearly simultaneously in such a dynamic environment
  • Keeping students engaged from bell to bell so they have minimal opportunities to act out or disrupt the class is another key challenge
  • matching my style with my students is a work in process as I learn more and different pedagogical approaches.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • parental involvement is paramount in student success
  • helping them learn how to learn.
  • many schools today rely too much on parents, giving assignments that students are unable to complete on their own. This is inequitable and inappropriate in my opinion.
  • It is easier said than done
  • I challenge anyone who has not spent time in a classroom recently to teach anything they choose to students for one week
  • Be passionate
  • Observe as many classes in your subject area in as many schools as possible.
