“Any activity that takes a lot of time inevitably has a substantial socializing effect. When the person putting in time is young, the effect is more profound, since the adaptive conduct learned and socialization is essentially a form of learning is less likely to be contradicted by previous knowledge. Thus, schools have important socializing effects.
Home Schooling Socialization is Not a Problem
"This study analyzed adults and teens who were homeschooled and compared their level of social engagement to those in the same age range who went to school. The results showed that not only are homeschoolers equally well adjusted, many were actually more socially engaged than their schooled counterparts."

The article opens with a great quote from Seymour Papert about the passivity of schooling and how we are socialized into complying and conformity.
As long as we remain committed to a neo-liberal agenda to prepare a work force, we continue to remain committed to schooling children in ways that are counter to good learning. John Dewey proposed growing (learning) occurs in the concrete moment and readies a person for more growing.

"Three powerful myths persist in our narratives around education technology.
"The first is that technology has the capacity to disrupt systems. For all the hope and hype that technologies can enable major organizational changes in educational systems through personalization, unbundling, or information access, but in reality, the reality is that culture domesticates new technologies. New apps, software, and devices are put in the service of existing structures and systems, rather than rearranging them. The most widely adopted education technologies are those that add a little efficiency to existing practices in school systems.
"The second myth is that free and open technologies will democratize education. One virtue of the incredibly rich data that can be collected from new digital platforms is that we can investigate more closely than ever before how learners from different life circumstances access and use new learning technologies. The research from these investigations is robust and clear: new technologies, even free ones, usually disproportionately benefit students with the financial, social, and technical capital to take advantage of new technologies. In a sense, the digital divide is more of a digital fault line, and each new innovation opens chasms of opportunity between our most and least affluent students.
"The third myth is that digital divides can be closed through providing technology access. As complex and challenging as it is to create systems where every young person can use a functioning, modern computer with reliable broadband connection, these are only first steps toward digital parity. It turns out that social and cultural forms of exclusion are as powerful, and often much harder to understand and address, as challenges of technology access. Turning the incredible potential of education technology toward the benefit of the students who are furthest from opportunity will require reckoning with the social and cultural contexts in which disadvantaged students live.
"The accumulated evidence that shatters these myths makes it clear that education technology will never simplistically close digital divides. No matter how many transistors we squeeze onto a millimeter, no matter how many bits are passing wirelessly over our heads, the hard parts of reducing educational inequality will remain hard."

Brain plasticity is a two-way street; it is just as easy to generate negative changes as it is positive ones. You have a “use it or lose it” brain. It’s almost as easy to drive changes that impair memory and physical and mental abilities as it is to improve these things. Merzenich says that older people are absolute masters at encouraging plastic brain change in the wrong direction. Via Nik Peachey, Jim Lerman

As an administrator, whenever I walk into a teacher’s classroom, one of the first things I almost always subconsciously look for is whether or not the students are engaged in inquiry. However, telling a teacher, “Your students need to engage in more inquiry,” is comparable to letting a comedian know she needs to be funnier or asking a pizzaiolo to make a better dough. And, vague directives in the absence of explicit instruction typically generate anxiety. Via John Evans, Monica S Mcfeeters, Dean J. Fusto, Ines Bieler

En resumen, descubrimos material, en contraposición a la cobertura de contenido y a la memorización y regurgitación de hechos y conocimiento.

Computer scientists are working on reproducing all human skills using artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics. Unsurprisingly then, many people worry that these advances will dramatically change work skills in the years ahead and perhaps leave many workers unemployable. The findings raise troubling questions about whether most workers will be able to acquire the skills they need as these new computer capabilities are increasingly used over the next few decades. To answer those questions, the report’s approach could be extended across the full range of work skills. We need to know how computers and people compare across all skills to develop successful policies for work and education for the future. Via Kim Flintoff

Most workers in OECD countries use the three skills every day. However, computers are close to reproducing these skills at the proficiency level of most adults in the workforce. Only 13% of workers now use these skills on a daily basis with a proficiency that is clearly higher than computers. The findings raise troubling questions about whether most workers will be able to acquire the skills they need as these new computer capabilities are increasingly used over the next few decades. To answer those questions, the report’s approach could be extended across the full range of work skills. We need to know how computers and people compare across all skills to develop successful policies for work and education for the future.

Some great insights in this article. Education should become a frontier of change in terms of empowering all students’ digital literacy identities and bridging the gap between those who have access and those who don’t. Once that is in place, we should then look deeper into a more meaningful type of engagement with technology. It has been empirically proven that being digital natives does not necessarily mean these students are actually equipped to critically use the increasingly sophisticated digital devices and applications. A system and/or framework of engaging in technology enhanced learning is required, however this should be inclusive of students’ cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds, so as to be relevant and meaningful to their lives now and in the long run. Perhaps implementing theories which take multimodal meaning making and cultural diversity into consideration, such as multiliteracies pedagogy etc.
