The 21st century skill students really lack. | marked for sharing | Scoop.it

Most teachers t think that students today have a problem paying attention. They seem impatient, easily bored.

I’ve argued that I think it’s unlikely that they are incapable of paying attention, but rather that they are quick to deem things not worth the effort.

Even though the habits mentioned are generic , they still  reflect part of the digital behavior teacher should embrace when using technology in their class.

Teaching to the test fails students - JSOnline

Teaching to the test fails students  - JSOnline | marked for sharing | Scoop.it

After 27 years of teaching Gerald Conti said it was time to call it quits, but this New York school teacher didn’t retire because he feels old, he said he was retiring because he said teaching is not the same.

 

Instead of teaching students about things such as the New Deal, legislators have failed teachers by focusing more on testing than on learning.

 

Conti, 62, posted his resignation letter on Facebook, along with a photo of Porky Pig saying “That’s All Folks!”

Helena Capela's insight:

Na realidade criatividade e testes em número excessivo não são compatíveis.

Enriched Lesson Delivery - Integrating Tech into the Classroom

Enriched Lesson Delivery - Integrating Tech into the Classroom | marked for sharing | Scoop.it
Enriched Lesson DeliveryWhat is Enriched Lesson Instruction? Direct instruction is a general term for the explicit teaching of a skill-set usinglectures or demonstrations of the material, rather than exploratory models such asinquiry-based learning.

Here's how it works:
In a direct instruction lesson: the teacher usually spends some time lecturing; then the teacher guides the students through a complex problem, with the problem broken down into simple steps; then the students are given, one by one, the simple steps to carry out on their own; finally, the students are given one or many sample problems to accomplish on their own.

Free Technology for Teachers: Three Approaches for Getting Content to Elementary Students' iPads - No Email, No Problem

Free Technology for Teachers: Three Approaches for Getting Content to Elementary Students' iPads - No Email, No Problem | marked for sharing | Scoop.it

From the beginning, a major challenge of working with iPads is actually working with iPads. Unlike a computer, there are no multi-user logins, no file structures, and no easy way to share these devices with multiple students. Additionally, in elementary classrooms the challenge becomes even more difficult. Students don't have email addresses. The Terms of Service of many cloud storage options preclude those under the age of 13 from having an account, and devices are often shared. So how can teachers easily distribute content under these circumstances? 

Here are three ways to approach distributing content to students without using email or having them log in and out of an account.

Since Google officially changed Google Docs name to Google Drive and a number of updates have been introduced to improve its overall performance. One very recent update is an increase of cloud storage capacity to 15GB usable across Gmail, Drive, and Google Plus. It is quite obvious that Google is trying to outsmart its immediate competitor Dropbox and I think Google is successful in its strategy so far.

Half an Hour: The Great Rebranding

Half an Hour: The Great Rebranding | marked for sharing | Scoop.it

I was at the same conference of course and viewed it a bit differently. The attendees are self-selected from an audience consisting almost entirely of instructors (people outside this community were prohibited from attending). The presentations and discussion seemed to me to be repeated instances of "please please please let MOOCs be whatever they are so long as they don't touch the sacred role of instruction."

Jason R Levine's curator insight, May 11, 9:07 PM

"MOOCs were not designed to serve the missions of the elite colleges and universities. They were designed to undermine them, and make those missions obsolete. Yes there has been a great rebranding and co-option of the concept of the MOOC over the last couple of years. The near-instant response from the elites, almost unprecedented in my experience, is a recognition of the deeply subversive intent and design of the original MOOCs (which they would like very much to erase from history)."

How do Finnish kids excel without rote learning and standardized testing? - The Globe and Mail

How do Finnish kids excel without rote learning and standardized testing? - The Globe and Mail | marked for sharing | Scoop.it

One September morning in 2003, a group of engineers gathered for a marathon brainstorming session at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Calif. Their intent was ambitious; they wanted to dream up a new way to land spacecraft on Mars.

The meeting stretched to three days of scribbling options on whiteboards, and the solution they came to for landing the SUV-sized rover Curiosity was radical. When Curiosity was 10 kilometres above ground, a contraption they called a sky crane would detach. Then rocket engines would slow the crane to 3 kmh, so it almost hovered above ground as it gently lowered the rover on cables to the ground before flying off and crash landing a safe distance away.
