SpeEdChange: The Toolbelt as School Policy
I believe in "Toolbelt Theory." I believe that it is our job, as educators, to help students assemble the learning and communication tools which will support them across their lifespans. And to teach them how to to keep that tool collection up to date as they, their circumstances, and the world's technologies change.

Adopting and Adapting « Ashley’s Weblog
After reading a comment by David Truss on my post titled “My Philosophy of Technology in the Classroom”, I wanted to reflect on some of the questions he gave for me to think about. David suggested I read an article Adopt and Adapt: Shaping Tech for the Classroom. This article was really interesting in that it talks about not only including technology in the classroom, but pushing technology to reach its full potential for our students.

Be Less Helpful - CMC North 2009 - Dan Meyer on Vimeo
Interesting presentation, especially around developing questions for students rather than using what the textbook provides
Banned by District Administration - Article 2
I can turn to almost any page in a textbook, article or website and find an outlandish, inaccurate or confusing idea some curriculum writer thought was brilliant. Even the most well-intentioned efforts at relevance or context stretch credulity, often in a hilarious fashion.

If the learning outcome stays unchanged from the learning that occurred without the tech tool, then the “new” technology merely is a glorified (and usually more expensive) version of the traditional one used in the past.

The Clever Sheep: 14 Tools to Teach about Creative Commons
One of the most powerful, misunderstood and under-utilized tools for teaching 21st century skills, is the Creative Commons. Besides providing access to hundreds of thousands of media works that can be used to augment the creative process, the Creative Commons offers a legitimate way for students to license their own creative works, be they audio, video, text or hybrid products.

Shifting Frustrations | Reflections of the TZSTeacher
as David Truss suggests in his post, Shifting Education, ”Nurture your colleagues like you nurture your students in your class.” I can nurture through examples–because I KNOW the teachers will look at the wiki. I KNOW they will monitor what the kids are doing and perhaps get some ideas for their own classrooms! And, I also know they will see their kids being more self-directed than they see in their classrooms, because they are not allowed to direct their own learning there.

The sub experience was a disaster. In trying to be helpful and do school as she knows it, she changed my lesson plans substantially to the point my kids began wiki-mailing me the second day from their iPods, complaining. They were not allowed to work collaboratively, the online activities were changed to worksheets, and they had no time to do the higher level thinking pieces I had left in my plans–so they spent three days doing worksheets on skills where they needed only some review.
