It's a fine line between being creative to meet kids' needs and seeing education as open marketplace.
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
I heard Gary Stager speak at a technology conference, a few years back. I'd been following him for some time, via his intelligent blog posts and articles--and was very surprised that the room where he was speaking was virtually empty, with maybe a dozen people in attendance. Nearly everyone in the audience came from the previous packed keynote, held in the ballroom next door, called "Free is Good!" Stager's remarks were provocative and smart. He opened his presentation by noting that, contrary to the fast-talking, extended commercial for Web 2-point-whatever no-cost goodies we'd just experienced, none of those tools was truly "free." Someone's making money, he said. And it's almost a certainty that the someone is not in the classroom, or even an educator. While tech-based tools can absolutely transform learning, most of them are now are serving other goals: administrative tasks, jazzing up traditional direct instruction, impressing parents and soaking up public resources in the name of "innovation." It's not about kids' self-directed learning, at all. Don't be fooled. Delete the scoop?

How The Brain Works--And How Students Can Respond
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
"A key to making your brain work optimally, then, is to keep yourself physically healthy and well rested and to develop awareness of—and some control over—your emotions. Then you can approach learning calmly and with positive emotions. Practice focusing and observing yourself, for example, by taking a short break from work to check in with your emotions. Just take a few minutes to think about what you’re feeling. If it’s a good feeling, take time to enjoy it and consider how your good emotional state affects your thinking. Do you understand more and get ideas about what you might do with the information you’re learning? If you don’t like the way you’re feeling, think about times you’ve felt a similar negative emotion (like anxiety or loneliness). What has helped you return to a better mood in the past?"

"Inspiring hope in a cynical world might be the most radical thing you can possibly do."
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
Before you finished getting out of bed, brushing your teeth with clean tap water, putting on clothes, making breakfast, turning off the light, walking out the door, you are benefiting from the work of hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals from all around the world. They all deserve your spirit of generosity. So walk with humility and reverence for the human endeavor, and know it’s your job to help take that endeavor forward. Delete the scoop?

"Imagine immensities, don’t compromise, and don’t waste time."
Ana Cristina Pratas's insight:
If you imagine less, less will be what you undoubtedly deserve. Do what you love, and don’t stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities, don’t compromise, and don’t waste time. Start now. Not 20 years from now, not two weeks from now. Now. Delete the scoop?
