- We need teachers who will research best practices just like holistic doctors..post by wcgaskins on 2008-11-06
-
“open book exam” concept into allowing students to use resources that take them beyond the boundaries of the classroom and enable them to draw on outside sources - the web, other books, their own personal networks - using whatever tools they choose - mobile phones, computers, iPods, PDAs, etc - in order to be assessed on their learning
-
not that our students should be able to respond correctly to the things they were specifically taught in school. The real skill is that they should be able to respond appropriately to things that they were NOT specifically taught at school. We need to prepare them not to know answers, but to solve problems. And in a world where many of the problems to be solved have not yet even been identified as problems, how do we prepare children for this future that does not yet exist?
-
I need a doctor who can think holistically, use intuition effectively, connect seemingly unrelated ideas, find current research and communicate with other expert practitioners to get the answers I need.
-
If that means they need to Google for an answer, call someone for a second opinion, or grab the manual to look something up, then that ought to be ok. It’s about getting the problem solved and if they need to use their resourcefulness or contacts or tools to solve the problem then so be it.
-
using the tools at their disposal to find effective answers to the problems they are being asked to solve.
-
I keep reading comments in the feed that talk about how it was not like this when they were a kid, about how the system of rote learning worked for them (as though the world is still the same), about how we need to teach kids to pass exams because that what universities expect (and the rest of the world?)
-
Many of my students seem to have the impression that having the ability to look something up in their information rich world is enough. But finding the correct answer is only the beginning. Why is it a correct answer? Is it the best correct answer? Are you certain the answer you found truly is correct?
-
Critical reflection on the learning process is the future. Some will adapt early, others eventually and others will never. No biggy in that.

The Tempered Radical: Does Congress REALLY Back 21st Century Learning?

People assumed that the explosion of innovation in information

classrooms." -
nstruction remains largely unchanged.
-
nstruction in our classrooms isn't changing because few people seem to understand exactly what '21st Century learning' means.
-
Yet installing whiteboards and student responders rarely changes teaching and learning in classrooms.
-
schools that blindly invest in these kinds of tools end up with nothing more than really expensive teacher-driven, broadcast model instruction---and lazy instructors who aren't forced to change their pedagogy----outside of learning which color digital pen they want to use when lecturing.

The US Congress has given the go-ahead for a new centre to explore ways advanced computer and communications technologies can improve learning.
-
American businesses know that they need a well-educated workforce to face growing competition from China, India and Europe.
-
People assumed that the explosion of innovation in information tools in business and service industries would automatically move into classrooms.
-
Education is falling further and further behind the rest of the economy and we have to rethink our basic approach to helping people learn,
-
learning scientists and educators have known for years that people learn faster if education can be personalised and if students are motivated by seeing how their knowledge can help them solve problems they care about.
-
oday's generation is very comfortable with using tools like iPods and computers and gaming, but when they go into the classroom none of that is there and there is this sense of an opportunity we are just not grasping,
-
centre will concentrate on understanding how to use technology to help everyone learn in a more effective and interesting way that makes that knowledge stick.

We need
students to create links, both mentally and digitally, from what they
know already, to what they are trying to know. We are stressing
“cognitive leaps” and learning by doing as often as we can, but there
are inherent problems with that. -
Connections are easily the most valuable learning experiences in my own growth---and something I work to make real for my students every day.

ASCD Inservice: PDK/Gallup Poll: Americans Are Losing Faith in Standardized Testing

-
future success in the global marketplace."
-
When the PDK/Gallup Poll asked Americans to choose the assessment method they believe provides the most accurate picture of student achievement, more chose examples of student work and teacher observations than test scores.
-
has your practice been bogged down by standardized testing at the expense of student-centered learning, creativity and imagination, and innovative classroom instruction? Have you found a way to balance the demands of testing with engaging and challenging instruction?

They need to become able to recognize patterns, find deeper
meaning, see complexity and manage it, have a sense of design and
flow–all skills that we strive to foster in the study of literature. -
We are not “teachers of technology,” but rather can use tools that
transform the ways in which we allow our students to meet challenges,
think critically, empathize, and connect with ideas larger than
themselves. -
Our desire to lead them through the processes of critical
thinking and analysis of literature need to be connected to something
within themselves. -
The ability to sift credible information
from sources they read, view, or listen to is essential.

Raise Your Hands (Techlearning blog)

but if all educators are not raising their hands almost each and every day when
asked, the talk about school change and 21st Century learning environments is
lost to the reality that the professionals that make up educations are not
professional learners and practitioners. They are simply rooted managers and
defenders of their out dated environments. -
It is a push for teachers to stop waiting for the organization and become a
collaborative professional learner by changing fundamental behaviors inhibiting
this and embracing action items that will allow it to happen -
Everyone can point to the myriad of daily "Must Dos" that prevent us from having
the time to learn. However, using that as a crutch for not learning is
inexcusable. -
they didn't have time to improve upon their skill set? they didn't need to know
that? they didn't need to try anything new, challenge their current ideas, or
push beyond the norm? Would terms like prioritize, organize, time management,
etc. be part of our discussion? Many students have so many demands outside of
the school day that if we as educators are demanding their learning be 24/7,
shouldn't we be practicing what we preach? -
In our ongoing struggle to engage our kids in learning, I believe we are
neglecting (or, even worse, deliberately preventing) one of our easiest and best
opportunities. If our goal is to bring our schools and classrooms into the 21st
century before that century ends, we need to take advantage of the large amount
of innovation that is already going on in many of our classrooms by allowing our
teachers to share it. And not just with others in their own schools and
districts, but with teachers around the world!" When teachers fail to share the
great things happening in their classrooms, they are failing their profession
and they are failing students". -
When teachers are not sharing their practices, knowledge, and resources as
professional learners in a collaborative learning culture, it doesn't matter how
much learning is happening in the classroom or how great students see these
teachers. To me, they are not professionals and are just as guilty of
malpractice as the teacher down the hall refusing to change their outdated
practices. -
When a collaborative learning culture is in place, the behavior of closing the
door and doing as one pleased is exposed. This exposure shows one of two things:
1. the teacher's practices are truly best practices and the teacher needs to
open the door as a professional learner so that others can learn and grow 2. the
teacher's practices are not at a high level and the teacher needs to open the
door as a professional learner so that s/he can learn and grow from others. -
Be proud of your explorations. Let it be known what you are doing, why you are
doing it, and how others could join in with you. Talk about what you are
learning! Being open doesn't mean being vulnerable! Share your blog and wiki
with pride! Focus on collaboration and networking with all you do and bring your
colleagues along kicking and screaming if need be. Thus, your action item is to
share your blog, wiki, social bookmarks, and learning experiences with as many
people as possible in order to promote local collaboration and networking.
