    "When HGSE Professor David Perkins looked back at his childhood little league and "backyard baseball" experiences he found the perfect metaphor for the set of teaching concepts he presents in his new book, Making Learning Whole: How Seven Principles of Teaching Can Transform Education. Perkins' principles are meant for educators to apply in schools, but they are also good advice for anyone wanting to take charge of his or her own lifelong learning."

      The internet provides an excellent opportunity to educate more people in more more subjects for less. It also enables to change the way that we teach and learn with a focus on collaboration and social learning. 
  • If access to higher education is a necessary element in expanding economic prosperity and improving the quality of life, then we need to address the problem of the growing global demand for education, as identified by Sir John Daniel.3
  • Fortunately, various initiatives launched over the past few years have created a series of building blocks that could provide the means for transforming the ways in which we provide education and support learning. Much of this activity has been enabled and inspired by the growth and evolution of the Internet, which has created a global “platform” that has vastly expanded access to all sorts of resources, including formal and informal educational materials. The Internet has also fostered a new culture of sharing, one in which content is freely contributed and distributed with few restrictions or costs.
  • Perhaps the simplest way to explain this concept is to note that social learning is based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions, especially with others, around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we are learning but on how we are learning.5
  • As more of learning becomes Internet-based, a similar pattern seems to be occurring. Whereas traditional schools offer a finite number of courses of study, the “catalog” of subjects that can be learned online is almost unlimited. There are already several thousand sets of course materials and modules online, and more are being added regularly.

      His line is that he knows himself well enough to know that he'll get "into it" with commenters... and that he doesn't want to spend his life energy in conflict with the haters. I get that... but there's no opportunity for conversation at its source.

      Interesting question. Certainly the nature of the POSSIBILITIES of what we do has changed. My mother was a teacher and I don't feel that she had the same opportunities to shift what she did the same way that I can.

      s we get ready for the 93rd year of universal public education, here's the question every parent and taxpayer needs to wrestle with: Are we going to applaud, push or even permit our schools (including most of the private ones) to continue the safe but ultimately doomed strategy of churning out predictable, testable and mediocre factory-workers?

      How does this relate to national, as well as international schools? So many discussions on Twitter that I've followed seem to come from educators at U.S. state schools who are struggling with the restrictions imposed by law and policy makers, which seem intent on crushing creativity and connections within - and between - schools.
  • Our current system of teaching kids to sit in straight rows and obey instructions isn't a coincidence--it was an investment in our economic future. The plan: trade short-term child labor wages for longer-term productivity by giving kids a head start in doing what they're told.

    Thank you Ruth! This article is just about what I am trying to do with my students for years! This is very motivating! I found out last year that linking evaluating and citing sources is a good think to keep students focused: they search the author, publisher etc... and evaluate at the same time. You can read my blog post http://www.coetail.asia/amthinnes/ "changing the way we are teaching" (Sorry, the blog is difficult to read... getting better every week...) , for more info about it. The link I used so far is not bad from 9 grade, but too difficult for the younger children. If you have a better one, let me know! Anyway, it is great to know that we are at the same page.... Cheers, Anne-Marie
