Add Sticky Note
It could also be due to the Asian culture whereby we are not supposed to question our elders lest we are considered being uncouth.
- It seems to me that this needs to be explored more. Teachers can learn how to foster the questioning skills of their students, but can (and should) these cultural aspects be overcome? - on 2009-05-23
Teachers' Learning Communities: Catalyst for Change or a New Infrastructure for the Status Quo?
This article explores four core themes, which represent endemic challenges to sustaining teachers’ learning communities (LCs): 1) defining and fostering teacher agency, 2) determining purposes for teacher collaboration, 3) tracking the challenges to and impact on district culture, and 4) identifying enabling and constraining institutional and policy conditions. The author uncovers conflicts that frequently emerge when efforts at enhancing the professional autonomy, authority, and responsibility of teachers conflict with hierarchical and bureaucratic district and school cultures.

While the ubiquity of digital media resources allows for more customized learning within a formal learning context, its primary value lies in the acknowledgment of the legitimacy and value of learning that take place beyond formal schooling.
Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning - Emerging Technologies for Learning
This Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning (HETL) has been designed as a resource for educators planning to incorporate technologies in their teaching and learning activities.
HETL has been developed for a workshop delivered to Athabasca University faculty and reflects several years work with Peter at the Learning Technologies Centre at University of Manitoba.
This workbook also supports and leads into the Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning Certificate in Emerging Technologies for Learning offered by University of Manitoba’s Learning Technologies Centre and Extended Education.George Siemens
Education Sector: Research and Reports: Beyond the Bubble: Technology and the Future of Student Assessment
new research projects have produced assessments that reflect what cognitive research tells us about how people learn, providing an opportunity to greatly strengthen the quality of instruction in the nation's classrooms.
FINAL REPORT | DIGITAL YOUTH RESEARCH
Today’s youth may be coming of age and struggling for autonomy and identity as did their predecessors, but they are doing so amid new worlds for communication, friendship, play, and self-expression. We include here the findings of three years of research on kids' informal learning with digital media.
Project New Media Literacies
Project New Media Literacies (NML), a research initiative based within MIT's Comparative Media Studies program, explores how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise public understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world.
TCRecord: Article
In this study, we aimed to develop a framework that could be used to describe the value of the learning portfolio for the learning process of individual student teachers. Seven functions of the learning portfolio in the student teachers’ learning process emerged from the data. It was possible to distinguish between product and process functions: with product functions, the production of a portfolio was seen as working on a tangible end product; with process functions, it was the interplay between reflecting on the learning process and the learning process itself that was the key.
Sustaining Professional Learning Communities; 2007
This collection of essays points to the complexity and fragility of professional learning communities. Building on Hargreaves’ work, Louis outlines four essential tensions that educators need to consider as they work to build and sustain learning communities: depth and breadth; stability and change; diversity and focus; and networking and integration (pp. 52-54). This volume raises important considerations for those seeking to create more collaborative professional cultures aimed at improving student learning.
Participative Pedagogy for a Literacy of Literacies
we must develop a participative pedagogy, assisted by digital media and networked publics, that focuses on catalyzing, inspiring, nourishing, facilitating, and guiding literacies essential to individual and collective life in the 21st century. Literacies are where the human brain, human sociality and communication technologies meet.

TCRecord: Article - Small-school reform through the lens of complexity theory
With complexity theory as an analytic lens, this article looks at extant research in the area of small-school reform. Specifically, the article draws on fundamental features of complexity theory (e.g., initial conditions, distributed authority, control parameters, fractals, and synergy) as a way to assess both the problems and promise of small-school reform.
