      This is an excellent idea for a district to implement. Teaching teaches how to curate content online to align it with state standards. Does it take time? Yes. But, instead of playing outside consultants and companies to do this, a special committee of well trained and motivated teachers can come together and do this. They can pay them extra for this position. I think this will even motivate more teachers to get digitally ready when they see their colleagues getting payed extra for this kind of stuff.

  • Rather than relying on individual educators to sift through endless material, many districts and states are helping to curate and catalog such resources, serving as the librarians of the digital age.
  • "This is curated by teachers, not by someone on the 70th floor of a New York City high-rise. It's simple, but powerful: Teachers tend to trust other teachers."
  • The goal is to provide materials that meld with a teacher's normal workflow-and not to become yet another website to visit. "We're trying to curate good content, letting them know it's been reviewed and meets our standards, while also being mindful that there are a lot of resources out there,"

  • The differences between digital native learners and digital immigrant teachers. Digital Native Learners Digital Immigrant Teachers Prefer receiving information quickly from multiple multimedia sources. Prefer slow and controlled release of information from limited sources. Prefer parallel processing and multitasking. Prefer singular processing and single or limited tasking. Prefer processing pictures, sounds and video before text. Prefer to provide text before pictures, sounds and video. Prefer random access to hyperlinked multimedia information. Prefer to provide information linearly, logically and sequentially. Prefer to interact/network simultaneously with many others. Prefer students to work independently rather than network and interact. Prefer to learn “just-in-time.” Prefer to teach “just-in-case” (it’s on the exam). Prefer instant gratification and instant rewards. Prefer deferred gratification and deferred rewards. Prefer learning that is relevant, instantly useful and fun. Prefer to teach to the curriculum guide and standardized tests.*Ian Jukes and Anita Dosaj, The InfoSavvy Group, February 2003

  • The greatest economic competition going forward is going to be between you and your own imagination. Your ability to act on your imagination is going to be so decisive in driving your future and the standard of living in your country. So the school, the state, the country that empowers, nurtures, enables imagination among its students and citizens, that’s who’s going to be the winner.
  • my equation is CQ + PQ > IQ. Curiosity Quotient plus Passion Quotient is more important than Intelligence Quotient.
  • When information is really abundant, when we can literally pluck it out of the air, you need people to sift it, sort it and connect it.

  • Sifters, sorters, connectors, “yes but-ers.” That’s a nice way to describe a teacher’s role today
