Teachers in schools in Ohio and across the nation are changing how they teach. It's part of the switch to the Common Core, a new set of national standards for what students should know and be able to do in reading and math. Via Patrice Bucci

Weingarten is right on the money. First... teachers need more time to understand and make shifts to the new Common Core Standards. They need more professional development, more materials and more common planning time. Absent those things implementation of the CCSS becomes a compliance effort rather than an effort to develop effective teachers that improve student achievement. And...with out that it is absurd to link teacher evaluations to standardized test results... Read on... and see what you think.

Quote from the article: Present Shock
Teens are living a new presentist, non-linear narrative, as Douglas Rushkoff notes in his new book, Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now. This is most evident in how teens consume and watch media: through mash-ups, "cutscenes" on YouTube, reality TV and gaming. Teens are taking over the narrative, becoming "the equivalent of storytellers. Snowboarders score their own paths down a slope, while skateboarders reinterpret the urban landscape as an obstacle course." Teens are turning to "computers and games to choose their own adventures and find their own answers." Rushkoff goes on to note: "Which flashing screen we choose to answer often means less about whom or what we want to engage with than who or what we want to be, ourselves, in that moment. We're in the game, all right, but playing on many different levels at once." This is the new digital code that young people are growing up with. Yet school functions in a linear fashion, with clearly demarcated lines of progression from one grade level to the next and one assignment to the next. While kids are able to create their own narrative outside of school, they find themselves having to code switch back to school. In schools, tension arises between digital presentism and linear learning approaches. Essentially, there is a struggle over who controls the narrative -- the student or the teacher. Delete the scoop?

"Utopian visions of learning are tempting, if for no other reason than they absolve us of accountability to create it right now, leading to nebulous romanticizing about how powerful learning could be if we just did more of X and Y.

Over the past two years, I've been working with my district to transition from the popular textbook towards Open Educational Resources, or OER. One of the leading benefits of OER options is that they are free and open to educators. That in itself is a reason to inquire. The information has been vetted for credibility and some of it is derived from some of the world's top colleges and universities. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) , Anne Whaits
Heather MacCorkle Edick's insight:
It's good to know that the materials have been vetted. Another good source for material is MERLOT. 
Patricia Daniels's curator insight,
March 9, 7:46 AM
Making the transition to OERs can be quite daunting as it's not just a matter of accessing open content but repurposing it and digitizing your own to suit your students' needs. I find that using OERs in combination with cloud computing, mobile assisted seamless learning and field trips into virtual worlds, works well with my language students. However, what works within my teaching context may not be appropriate for yours. In my opinion, it's not just about introducing new technologies and pedagogies because they are trending, but doing a thorough analysis of what is needed within a specfic context before transforming your teaching practices, as these transformations will influence your students' learning environment and learning outcomes.
