This post explores what you should not do when implementing the Common Core...such as "expect that a packaged program will be the magic bullet" or "focus only on outcomes and not processes." Each of the 15 points include additional information. Many of us are questioning where we are going with the Common Core and this post may provide some insights into areas that may become dead ends.

Numerous studies and much accepted wisdom suggest that time spent doing nothing, being bored, is beneficial for sparking and sustaining creativity. With our iPhone in hand - or any smartphone, really - our minds, always engaged, always fixed on that tiny screen, may simply never get bored. And our creativity suffers.

Read on to learn why so many education reformers are enamored with Finnish education and what their system can teach us about reforming our own.
Why are people looking at Finland? Their students have "consistently scored near or at the top of international assessments regardless of economic or social background, despite spending fewer hours in school that their American counterparts." Some of the 15 points listed are below, and each point is followed with additional information. * Schools don't assign much homework. * Classwork focuses on creativity. * All schools in Finland are public schools. * Finland is all about cooperation in education, not competition.

"The two above images are good examples of purposeful thinking about iPad usage in schools. One, a screenshot of an oft-used tool known as 'iPad As.. by edtechteacher.org', focuses on what the iPad can be used for and provides links to various apps that can be utilised for those functions. It goes without saying that it is a very useful website for schools thinking about iPads. It provides nutshell explanations of a number of apps that relate to each iPad as… category as well as pricing. It’s a good introduction into the functionality of the iPad that counteracts the misconception of iPad as consumption NOT creation tool. The other, The Padagogy Wheel, is one of many variations on applying Bloom’s Taxonomy of skills to iPad apps. It develops from the general learning action verbs/skills we want our students to acquire to technology based activities that relate to these skills and finally to a selection of apps that can support this development."
