  • The bottom is not a good place to be, even if you're capable of getting there.
  • Large-scale education was never about teaching kids or creating scholars. It was invented to churn out adults who worked well within the system.

      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.

      Are teachers in tradable or non-tradable positions?

      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.

      Students need both reading and writing collaboratively, but can they also do it own their own when they need to?

      depending of the project, you always give some thought about what form it is going to take. The format, type of media, way to write is only wider
  • More specifically, it’s believing that collaboration and increased socialization around activities like reading and writing is a good idea.

      Sometimes I don't want to be "social" when I am reading. I love the idea, but it's not the only way.

      Is there a new word for this that isn't "writer"?
    • tasha cowdy
      tasha cowdy on 17 Sep 11
       
      yes, this is a conversation we have been having -is writing necessarily to do with letters, words? Do we need a new word?

      Writing isn't a solitary act and reading is a social event. Books will be interactive and multimedia. Teachers will have to help students do this.
  • “Not just when you’re looking at the book, but also when you’re talking to people about the book or when you’re Googling things that occur to you as you read the book.”
  • tasha cowdy on 17 Sep 11
     
    The written word is coming to life by being a key part of multimedia," Boardman said. "When people can not only pick up something by the written word, but also listen to it, see it move across the screen or see someone's interpretation of that word through moving images, then I think it becomes much more alive.
  • tasha cowdy on 17 Sep 11
     
    "The age of the know-it-all author who went into her room for three months and figured something out that no one figured out, and had a whole idea that was hers alone - it's over."
