Smartphones are just little notebooks we are going to use for emergency only. (By the way I am 63!)

Curiosity is underemphasized in the classroom, but research shows that it is one of the strongest markers of academic success.
Allan Shaw's insight:
Giftedness is not a chance event. It requires nurturing and the development of curiosity is key to that development. This post is worthy of reflection.

Dealing with unpredictability requires what one Harvard psychologist has called a “self-transforming mind.” Here’s how to develop one.
Allan Shaw's insight:
Kegan and Laskow Lahey's '“self-transforming mind” isn’t just some sort of mystical techno-speak. It recalls F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “test of a first-rate intelligence,” which he defined as the “ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.”'

Most of us work under pressure, that is a given, but not many of us who work under pressure will have our work affect hundreds if not thousands. As a leader, CEO, boss, what we do, gets magnified, scrutinized, and maximized. Via Gino Bondi

For over 30 years, I have examined the adoption and use of computers in schools (Teachers and Machines, 1986; Oversold and Underused, 2001, Inside the Black Box, 2013). I looked at the policy hype, over-promising, and predictions accompanying new technologies in each decade. The question I asked was: what happens in schools and classrooms after…
Allan Shaw's insight:
As Mal Lee would suggest, the key to understanding the research being undertaken here by Larry Cuban is to look for where schools have/are looking at the whole school as an example of a systems technology or an ecosystem in its own right. When viewed in this holistic manner, research on just one part of the system is like viewing a single tree in a forest, checking whether it is healthy and then assuming the whole forest is healthy or not.

Read this from an objective viewpoint and not one where we often bring our educator emotions into play ;-) this is a complex task but we do need expansive evidence that will show education a way forward - important I think to ensure we do not drop back into the 3 r's of teaching

"For many years, the underlying thesis of the tech world has been that there is too much information and therefore we need technology to surface the best information. In the mid 2000s, that technology was pitched as Web 2.0. Nowadays, the solution is supposedly AI. We suffer not because there is just too much good information out there to process, but because most information out there is low quality slapdash takes on low quality research, endlessly pinging around the spin-o-sphere."

"PICTURE a classroom full of 15-year-old girls, says renowned parenting expert, Steve Biddulph. They will all be individuals, he says, but compared with their mothers at this same age, they are amazingly confident and can speak their minds on any subject. However, if you meet with any of these girls on their own, below their cheerful exterior, you will likely see problems."

These make perfect sense from the perspective of 11-13 year olds. Its worth remembering if you teach them, though these are not all you would keep in mind.
