Tech Thoughts By Jen » Blog Archive » A Long Time Ago……… - 0 views

  •  
    What I am going to share here will probably be the most personal thing I have ever shared on my blog. Only 3 other people know of this and some who are skeptics will dismiss me right away. But - I promise if you stick with me to the very end, it will make sense AND it will be woven into Tech. A long time ago, a pastor I trusted was into meditation and he was leading several people through them. Being the skeptic (yes, even though my faith is strong, I still have doubts at times) I decided to give it a try. What I am sharing next was what I saw. I was sitting on a fountain and there was a gentle man sitting next to me and we began to talk about what I was afraid of. He asked me if I was ready to conquer some of my fears and I said "Yes". He advised me to look up - and there floating above me were planks with words on them….words with the fears that I indeed was dealing with. And the closest one said "Dogs". I was able to easily reach up and grab it. As I gave the gentle man the plank, I said "But I am not really afraid of dogs" and his response was "sometimes you have to go for the easy before you can go for the hard." He then asked me if I wanted to fly and I said yes and suddenly we were flying through the sky…….yet, I continually looked toward the fountain, toward the ground, toward the certain. He finally asked if I wanted to return and we returned to the fountain. He laid his head in his hands and began to cry. When I asked him why, his response was "Jennifer, I want you to fly, yet you always wish to return to where it is safe." What I am sharing with you is true - and I still deal with my fears and my wanting to be safe - but today - I want to take those 2 stories and weave them, if I may, into what our teachers are dealing with in regards to being open to tech. In the last few weeks, I have had several conversations with tech coordinators, integratrators, evangelists, ambassadors - whatever you want to call

    Very interesting reading. I feel that many of you are with wings and flying high, even if sometimes we question things and just want to go back to the ground. This is totally natural, questioning, trying, feeling on the verge of giving up, giving another chance, trying a different approach...

Mind42.com - Collaborative mind mapping in your browser - 0 views

  •  
    In Mind42, 42 is not only the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything! 42 means FOR TWO and indicates the collaborative character of mind42, because that is exactly what mind42 is: A collaborative browser-based online mind mapping tool. It allows you to manage all your ideas, whether alone, twosome or working together with the whole world. As mind42 runs inside the browser, installing mind mapping tools is no longer needed - for a hassle-free mindmapping experience. Just open the browser and launch the application when needed - it behaves like a classical desktop application! Mind42 is a web application - however, this doesn't mean yout have to set your comfort aside. Mind42 is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) mind map editor supporting keyboard shortcuts, drag and drop, zooming and much more. No forms and lists which are generally used in web application. A real application - within your browser.

      I love creating a math project around these kinds of questions. So simple yet in depth!
  • “Are Girls Better at Math?” But what does that mean? What does “better” mean? As you see, these thing are quite fuzzy, they’re not like traditional math questions.
  • What we’re trying to do is get people to tackle hard questions with no clear answer, and that involves a mixture of defining the problem and actually doing calculations.

Passion-based learning in the 21st century: An interview with Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach | P... - 11 views

  • But when I talk about the shift to 21st century teaching and learning, I am not talking primarily about changing the tools we use. I’m talking about transforming the way most teachers teach today – either because they were taught to teach that way or because the accountability system makes them believe they have to teach that way.
    • Carla Arena
       
      It is really not about the tools, but about us and our students.
  • As a 21st century educator, I think about the relationship between content, the kinds of strategies I’m using as a teacher, and the technologies available.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • I think one of the things we’ve done is we’ve trained the passion out of our students from the second grade up.
  • “the future is no place for our better days.” What if we concentrate on making their better days come alive right now in our classrooms? What if we make the things we want them to learn extremely important right now instead of serving up some prefabricated curriculum that we’ve masticated and are now putting in their mouths at some kind of level WE think they can digest? That’s what learning with passion means to me.

Using Photos With English-Language Learners | Edutopia - 4 views

  •  
    I've enjoyed Larry Ferlazzo's tweets and posts for several years now, but seeing the wealth of links on his blog and trawling through a fraction of them just reminds us that no matter how much we know... it is only a fraction of what we can learn from others! I loved these simple activities for pedagogically exploiting images in the EFL classroom.
