Blogging is Elementary! | always learning

      • Use a comment sandwich: start with a positive, add  constructive feedback, then finish with a positive.
      • Make your comment sandwich thick and tasty! Lots of meaningful, meaty thoughts that relate directly the content of the post to keep the blogger satisfied!

      I love the idea of creating a comment sandwich - having the visual for the students has been extremely powerful, and focusing on commenting as part of the writing process has improved their commenting considerably (not as many “good job” posts as we had last year).

    I have a connection

Who-ogle Are You? | Bit By Bit

Should we be teaching our students how to create a "googleable" profile for themselves?

  • She was talking about asking administrators if they “Googled” people before
    hiring them as part of their background check. Most of the people she asked said
    that they in fact did. Sheryl went on to ask them:



    If it’s true that you’re going to Google people and it’s going to impact your
    decision to hire or not hire… then what are you doing to prepare your students
    to be Googled?


    What are you doing to make sure that they’re “clickable”? … This is going to
    become more and more important. If you’re not helping them to connect, if you’re
    not helping them to create, if you’re not helping them to be producers of
    knowledge rather than consumers of knowledge… then you’re not preparing them for
    that vita that they’re going to need, for that résumé that they’re going to need
    in order to be hired in the future.


    If employers are using Google to validate or reference-check people, what
    impression does it give when the search comes back empty? Is that a good thing?
    Is it a bad thing?

  • I've seen a lot of school administrators that could "talk the talk" but they do not "walk the walk". They expect the people around them to accomplish results that they are not committed to themselves.

Why every kid needs laptop instead of a mobile laptop lab.

  • The computer lab is an artificial environment in which kids
    who already know how to use computers are taught to do so again, but with less
    time, access and freedom than they are accustomed to outside of school.
    Computer labs are historical oddities separated from the curriculum by a
    firewall thicker than that, which keeps kids from researching breast cancer
    online.
  • Experience from Harlem to Sydney has proven time and time
    again that kids are capable of being responsible for their own personal laptop
    computer.
