"We need different, not better..."

"We need different, not better..." | Personal Learning Network | Scoop.it

* We don’t need better assessments; we need different assessments that help us understand students as learners and constructors of their own ongoing education instead of knowers of information and narrow skills.
* We don’t need better teachers; we need different teachers who see their roles as master learners first and content guides or experts second.
* We don’t need better schools; we need different schools that function as communities of inquiry and learning instead of delivery systems for a highly proscribed, traditional curriculum.

 

… the idea of a fully networked, progressive learning environment would for the vast majority constitute *different* and would require us... to redefine the future.

@Frank Finday I have been playing around with Coggle, and I have to agree -- easy to use, and does great mindmaps.
Miguel Velez's curator insight, June 1, 12:27 PM

Training the brain is a great tool for patients with AD, it encourages them to think, which is the major issue in with AD patients. The more brain works the better they will feel integrated into a group therapy or perhaps the close family. Since the cognitive area is totally affected by AD, I strongly recommend recreational activities as,painting, crosswords puzzels, checkers, bingos, etc, anything that boosts them to think.

McSotos's curator insight, May 29, 12:34 AM

Educators are coaches, personal trainers in intellectual fitness. The value we add to the media extravaganza is like the value the trainer adds to the gym or the coach adds to the equipment. We provide individualized instruction in how to evaluate and make use of information and ideas, teaching people how to think for themselves.
