Don’t Throw out Baby Macbeth: Common Core says think bigger, better, and beyond the book | Roz Linder.com | 21st Century Literacy and Learning | Scoop.it
From www.rozlinder.com - December 6, 2012 11:03 AM

Common Core is akin to telling you that students have to learn how to play tennis or piano. They are expected to know the game. The game? Deconstructing text. Because in the real world you need to be able to understand text, create text, and interpret text. The Common Core does NOT state that you cannot teach poetry, fiction, or narrative nonfiction. What it does say is that you must teach ANALYSIS. Kids need to know how to deconstruct text. All text. English teachers lament all across the nation that they cannot teach their poetry unit as is. And they can’t. We, English teachers, no longer just teach content. We teach skills so that kids can tackle any content. If you are just teaching the content of books as the center of your curriculum, shame on you.

A Handy Guide to Everything Teachers Need to Know about Edmodo ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

A Handy Guide to Everything Teachers Need to Know about Edmodo ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning | 21st Century Literacy and Learning | Scoop.it
From www.educatorstechnology.com - June 19, 8:51 AM

Edmodo is one of the promising web technologies that is making a strong foothold in the field of education. It has been embraced by several school districts and  is being widely used to host online classes and connect students with their teachers. I personally see edmodo as a very robust alternative to the traditional Moodle.

With the turn of the 21st century, the "social web" saw an explosive growth in the number of online social networking sites. These virtual platforms have gained so much in popularity that their members now count in millions. Online social networking is a constituent part of one's digital identity and whatever you share on them remains there a witness either for or against you. The infographic features some of the risks of posting on social networks. It also provides some interesting data on the kind of content people share on these sites

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight, June 19, 12:35 PM

A summary of the results from the 2012 Student Engagement Survey administered by the Learning Achievement Coalition of Oakland County, Michigan.  

 

The survey was given to Teachers and 8th grade students in 13 middle schools in Oakland County 

  Teacher surveys = 369  Students = 2,722

 

The results indicate that student and teacher perceptions differ on a variety of important measures.  Most glaring is about relationships:  teachers tend to focus on the group; students want to be known as individuals.

Technology allows students to become more independent in the classroom. But is the change from teacher to facilitator a positive move for the profession? Mike Britland is firmly in favour

Via John Evans, Tom Perran, juandoming
Ilana Rosansky's comment, Today, 3:11 AM
Yes. Technology in teaching serves the teacher and the learners. I'm not sure that that makes the teacher a 'facilitator' any more than s/he is already that! But it is a great resource and we are all enriched by it!
Ilana Rosansky's curator insight, Today, 3:12 AM

We are all enriched by technology so long as we use and do not abuse it!
Dico Krommenhoek's curator insight, Today, 3:19 AM

Goede tips van Mike.

- Ga uit van wat je leerlingen wilt leren en kijk dan of technologie iets toevoegt. Niet? dan niet inzetten. - Ga niet voor het laatste nieuwe product. Kijk of jouw "apparaat" kan wat jij met leerlingen wilt ondernemen. Misschien wel de beste tip: hou vol. Als iets niet werkt, probeer dan iets anders.

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight, June 16, 3:49 PM

"The Wall Street crowd wants us to think of education in terms of means – which usually means finding ways to spend less – rather than ends.  But when it comes to education, the “ends” are our children. And the means we choose for them, either consciously or through indifference, reveal who we really are as a people."
