    Summer has officially started for many of you! I know that you will probably be relaxing for the first few days, but eventually you may feel the need to be inspired and motivated for the upcoming school year! Social media provides us with incredible opportunities to choose the way we want to develop professionally. You can choose the topic, the medium, and who you want to learn from. You can choose the way you like to learn, because social media provides us with several multimedia experiences, such as webinars, LMS, live video, and more. The experience is usually dynamic and motivating because you are learning with others around the world! Additionally, you will be developing your Personal/ Passionate Learning Network (PLN).

      This all adds up to good teaching!  I don't think each description defines rigor since there is more to an effective learning experience than just the rigor, but I certainly agree with all of descriptors in the left column!  I think they're really describing best practices in teaching and learning, so rigor is connected to things like engagement, relevance, student-centered work, open-ended problems, critical thinking skills, accessibility, and high expectations for everyone.
  • Rigor involves all partners in teaching and learning.
    • Molly Kellogg
      Molly Kellogg on 12 Feb 13
       
      Very important point - I agree!  Students, teachers and other thinkers involved in a learning experience have a shared responsibility to create and maintain the correct environment for rigorous learning.
  • encourage productive struggling.

  • A rigorous lesson embraces the messiness of a good mathematics task and the deep learning that it has the potential to achieve.
    • Molly Kellogg
      Molly Kellogg on 12 Feb 13
       
      YES, YES!!!  Bring on the productive struggle and messy learning!!!  That is what learning is like in real life and that is what we need to provide for our students or they will never truly learn to be critical thinkers, independent problem solvers or inventive thinkers!
  • persist
  • reflect
  • take responsibility
  • ask productive questions
  • teachers
  • preserving the challenge of the task!
  • rigorous formative assessment
    • Molly Kellogg

      Absolutely - this is how we learn to differentiate for students throughout the learning experience.
  • When selecting tasks, teachers must be sure that mathematical ideas are explicit and the connections are clear
  • Professional development experiences

      How can we shape our professional development opportunities to invite more rigor for staff to enrich their learning and to serve as a model for their teaching?

    "The skills I have mentioned here are essential to every teacher ( and student ) using technology in class, at home , or for professional development purposes. It also contains the best web tools that you can use to better hone in the targeted skill under which they are featured .These web tools can also empower you with the necessary know-how to effectively leverage the power of technology in education. Please this is a work I have spent a lot of time and efforts on and I am so glad to share it with you but I also deserve to have due credit whenever you  use it somewhere else. Enjoy"

  • As student participation goes public, the pressure to produce high-quality work increases.
    • Molly Kellogg
      Molly Kellogg on 23 Jun 10
       
      We need to make sure we hold kids to this; they often feel they work on the computer under a cloak of anonymity - since they can't see their audience, they don't think they're there! We need to raise student awareness about their audience and involve them in the conversation about work quality and evaluation criteria.

  • I consider experimenting fearlessly with digital connections to be part of my job as a teacher.

      Experimenting fearlessly is an important step in redesigning education and encouraging the development of 21st century skills.
  • Clay Burell is Korea's best kept secret, asking provocative questions about the changing nature of schooling.

      This is a great point which is why worldwide collaboration in education is so important to pursue and engage in.
  • no one has taught them about the power of these connections
  • few are using those networks to pursue meaningful personal growth
  • Consider the potential: Students from different countries can explore global challenges together. Small cohorts of motivated kids can conduct studies of topics with deep personal meaning to them. Experts can "visit" classrooms thousands of miles away.

      When does this education begin? Or, does it matter? The impulse of typing the "emotion of the moment" overides what the adolescent brain has been taught.

      This sounds like such an awesome opportunity to encourage students to defend their thinking (which is something we want them to do) in a form where it doesn't feel like a teacher assignment

      Voice thread is something I would like to use in the classroom. Students seem motivated by it.

      Why twitter? Aren't there other forums to find this same information?

  • our students have no trouble connecting, but no one has taught them about the power of these connections. Although tweens and teens may be comfortable using digital tools to build networks, few are using those networks to pursue meaningful personal growth. Our challenge as teachers is to identify ways that students can use these tools for learning.

      This points to the fact that we must teach students about digital citizenship. They are creating their own rules in these online environments. They need some direction to cut down on the terrible negative sides of online life.
  • Model learning transparently.
    • Rod Corey
      Rod Corey on 23 Jun 10
       
      What if we build time into the daily classroom routine for checking and interacting with our digigal relationships. Teachers would visit their professional learning communities and students would do the same. This could be a once a week activity, or every day...
  • The key to becoming an effective 21st century instructor is to become an efficient 21st century learner.

      This is exactly what I've been saying in my blog posts...
  • Once you've taken your digital plunge, share with students how the digital connections you engage in enhance your skills and deepen your knowledge. Model learning transparently.
    • Mike Arsenault
      Mike Arsenault on 23 Jun 10
       
      This is so important. Teachers need to be learners and must model how they learn with their students.
  • but no one has taught them about the power of these connections
    • Megan Rice
      Megan Rice on 23 Jun 10
       
      I agree, but is this taught through the content we already need to cover, or a technology component?
  • Our challenge as teachers is to identify ways that students can use these tools for learning.
    • Megan Rice
      Megan Rice on 23 Jun 10
       
      yes!
  • This is why I experiment with every new tool that bursts onto the teenage radar
    • Megan Rice
      Megan Rice on 23 Jun 10
       
      I wish I had the time to keep up with all the sites out there! I remember when we first showed VoiceThread - kids loved it. Now, they are more familiar and not as excited because they use it elsewhere, which is wonderful, but requires me to keep up on the "newer" options.
    • Molly Kellogg
      Molly Kellogg on 23 Jun 10
       
      This is why we need regular time scheduled into staff meetings or inservice days to just EXPLORE and collaborate with colleagues around new tools.
  • Through Twitter, you'll get short online messages from fellow practitioners that point you to resources or pose questions.

      Am I ready to be tethered to my phone even more than I am?

    My Interesting Ways to Use series has been really successful. I measure their success in how useful they are to teachers and other educators in helping with professional development. I say "My" in the loosest sense of ownership really, as with all of the presentations they belong to us all. I just kickstart them and point them off in the right direction.They have been a great example of crowdsourcing good quality classroom ideas and it has been great fun connecting with all of the people who have taken time to add an idea. It is remarkable what can be achieved and created together if you give people the right way to do it. Thanks for all the help so far.
