Usable Knowledge: Education at bat: Seven principles for educators - 0 views

  •  
    "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."

    "It's not about the technology it is about teaching and learning. Can a teacher be a good teacher without using technology? Yes. Are they doing their job? No."

I'm So Totally, Digitally Close to You - Clive Thompson - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • “Frankly, I don’t need to know or care that Billy broke up with Sally, and Ted has become friends with Steve.”

      While some people don't want to know this kind of info. Many people apparently do. 
  • When I spoke to him, Zuckerberg argued that News Feed is central to Facebook’s success. “Facebook has always tried to push the envelope,” he said.
    • Adam Clark
       
      I'm wondering how the "news feed" of facebook has influenced our expectations for other contexts. Has it made us expect efficiency? Has it made us lazy? 
  • “I really hate it when people clip their nails on the bus”

      For me this is facebook type material. To my way of thinking Twitter should make me better - better informed, better connected, a better professional, human being etc.

  • “I have a rule,” she told me. “I either have to know who you are, or I have to know of you.”
    • Adam Clark
       
      What rules do other's have about their social media? We were talking about this kind of thing in G9 PSHE the other day
  • What sort of relationships are these? What does it mean to have hundreds of “friends” on Facebook? What kind of friends are they, anyway?
    • Adam Clark
       
      How do the fact that we are wrestling with these questions impact our relationships IRL (in real life)? Are they all in real life or are they distinct? 
  • “I outsource my entire life,” she said. “I can solve any problem on Twitter in six minutes.”
  • This rapid growth of weak ties can be a very good thing. Sociologists have long found that “weak ties” greatly expand your ability to solve problems.
  • a culture of people who know much more about themselves.
    • Adam Clark
       
      Also maybe also a culture of narcissists.  http://www.narcissismepidemic.com/aboutbook.html
