ArcNews Fall 2006 Issue -- The Fourth R? Rethinking GIS Education
-
GIS is seen as something that every educated person should know about, a set of tools that allow us to see and interact with the world in new and stimulating ways, a contemporary way of satisfying a deeply felt love of maps and geography, and a way of expressing concern for the future of the planet.
-
other equally compelling and accessible services, such as ESRI's ArcGIS Explorer (www.esri.com/arcgisexplorer), Microsoft's Windows Live Local (local.live.com), Amazon's A9 (A9.com), satellite navigation systems, and online maps and driving directions, the general public has become far more aware of the power of spatial data and the degree to which technology now allows easy sharing, visualization, and exploration of information about the planet's surface.

Making the Case for Blogging | EDUCAUSE
-
Few people will adopt a technology unless you can convince them that it solves a problem they consider a priority. For example, rather than telling the provost that you want to use blogging because students at a competing institution use it, consider talking about how blogging allows you to help students develop skills in communication, critical thinking, and reflection.

I mean how in the world would this particular degree “certify†anyone as a social computing specialist any better than, um, spending a year or so just actually becoming a part of social learning network, learning from the various teachers and conversations within it, and building a rich, online portfolio that illustrates your ability to be an online community manager, social network analyst, community organizer or any of the other job descriptions they list as possible outcomes? For, um, zero dollars?

…There’s also a big difference between being able to do something, and being able to analyze and assess it critically. The reason people listen to and cite danah boyd and Lee Rainie (of Pew) is because they bring an analytical research approach to subjects that most of us have only an anecdotal understanding of. That’s what a graduate degree seeks to accomplish–to provide people with a broad-based understanding of a topic, to push them to see different points of view on a subject, to assess analytically and critically….

As in most of his jobs, he didn’t work for cash—child-labor laws wouldn’t allow it. He worked for the connection, which was worth far more. With steady access to NikeID, Alex turned himself into a valuable commodity, especially with the Knicks. He started supplying players and officials in the front office with shoes—a gift for sneaking him into games.

For networking purposes, Alex always carries his own business cards. He had 500 printed last year. “ALEX GOLDBERG,” it reads. “CALL FOR KICKS, TICKETS AND CLOTHES.”

Most of the proprietors of the commercial Internet have a financial stake in collecting the crumbs of data we leave behind as we flit from link to link—the more crumbs, the better. The last thing these companies want is to encourage leisurely reading or slow, concentrated thought. It’s in their economic interest to drive us to distraction.

The first grader who leaps to his feet when he figures out the math problem is diagnosed as ADHD and medicated to sit quietly with the class

Young learners have immense pressure to perform, to get good grades, but no one is listening to the nuance of their minds. They feel suppressed, they are suppressed, and by the time students get to college, they have become disconnected from the love of learning.
-
Many told me they were relieved to have turned off their computers and relaxed into listening.
-
I believe in depth over breadth in the learning process. Let’s say we have three skills to learn. The typical approach is to take them all on at once. It is much more effective to plunge deeply into one, touch Quality, and then transfer that feeling of Quality over to the others. A martial artist, for example, should internalize one technique very deeply instead of trying to learn 10 or 15 superficially.

eSchoolNews - Students want more use of gaming technology

During the past four years of the survey, the technology that students most wanted to see implemented in their classrooms was a personal laptop for each student. For the first time this year, laptops for students also topped the list of teachers’ and school leaders’ most desired technologies.
-
64 percent of students in grades K-12 say they play online or electronic-based games regularly.
-
Julie Evans, Project Tomorrow’s chief executive. “Students are really articulating their interest in gaming, as well as the many benefits educational gaming can provide, such as helping them to learn difficult math concepts. Even the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recognizes the huge potential for gaming technologies [in education].”
-
It’s driving up math scores. When our students are experiencing success on the game, it transfers to success in the classroom.”
-
Nearly two-thirds of middle and high school students said “let me use my own laptop, cell phone, or other mobile device at school.”
-
While 53 percent of middle and high school students are excited about using mobile devices to help them learn, only 15 percent of school leaders support this idea. Also, fewer than half as many parents as students see a place for online learning in the 21st century school.
-
And even fewer teachers, parents, and school leaders want students to have access to eMail and instant-messaging accounts from school.
-
Keeping school leaders well informed is the first step toward helping to bridge this disconnect
-
Hopefully, the results of this survey will reach them. If school leaders become more familiar with student views,
-
his vision for the ultimate school is one where the teachers and the principal actively seek and regularly include the ideas of students in discussions and planning for all aspects of education—not just technology.
