We, as teachers are frequently under the impression, that unless we control what children learn, we wouldn't have done our duties as teachers. At CERT we believe that giving the children enough flexibility to be creative and express their own ways of learning, is an imperative ingredient in the recipe for success and excellence. We need learners who are critical, reflective and show initiative. Rote learning, standardised tests, etc. are easy ways to have a silent classroom. Learning goes so much more beyond that.

"The reality in Canada, which is unfortunate in Dr. Sahlberg’s view, is that students are rewarded for competing against their peers, teachers are held accountable by their class’s performance on exams, and schools are compared through widely published standardized test results. Finland takes an alternative approach. Students receive only narrative evaluation instead of marks or grades until Grade 5. Thereafter, their grades rely on how they’ve performed relative to their individual potential rather than as compared to their classmates. “Teachers stress grades as little as possible,” Dr. Sahlberg says. “This means that students ‘compete’ against themselves, not one another.”" Delete the scoop?

Unlike pages on the visible Web (that is, the Web that you can access from search engines and directories), information in the Deep Web is just not visible to the software spiders and crawlers that create search engine indexes. Since this information makes up the vast majority of available content on the Web, we are potentially missing out on some pretty amazing resources. Via Karen Bonanno

Nine universities are testing technology that allows them to track their students’ progress with digital textbooks.
Anne McLean's insight:
November Learning In many situations where we bring technology into our classrooms, we are simply automating the tasks we've always done. This amounts to a very low-value use of the powerful tools we have access to. While there are questions and kinks within this e-textbook system, it demonstrates how the data that teachers can get from newer technologies can be highly beneficial in seeing the thinking and learning of all students Delete the scoop?

Do we really need libraries? My students don't think so. "We have computers," they say. As a writer, the idea of a world w/out libraries is a world w/out oxygen. That said, this isn't a debate just about books.
Anne McLean's insight:
Lengthy but useful Learnist board on plagiarism. I believe plagiarism in the digital age has hit new heights. Or lows. As teacher librarians we play a crucial role in helping students to find credible information on the Internet but that is only part of the information search process. Using the information properly and crediting sources is crucial. Delete the scoop?

The first step we took in 1999 was to stop teaching isolated library skills classes. We began reinforcing information-literacy skills through class projects. At that time, we employed traditional strategies, including paper pathfinders and guided lab sessions. Via Susan Bainbridge
