The number of games, apps, and software to help students learn to read and increase their literacy skills is growing fast, and the tools themselves are becoming more interactive and animated.

I'll admit it, I have fallen for these devices as a babysitting tool. Once I stopped myself and realized that I was doing a disservice to my own daughter, I took the approach of being a co-engaged parent with my daughter's use of the iPad.

Opening Doors for Learning

So if you say that you care less about whether kids are academically gifted and more about whether they sit with the lonely kid in the cafeteria, then be the teacher who welcomes the newbie to the staff room - the supply teacher, the itinerant, the new custodian, the secretary who is just here for a day, the high school, college or university student on placement.  As Gandhi  said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Great post - kindness should always come first, it defines a school.

Can Ontario fix its maths curriculum?

Can Ontario fix its maths curriculum? | New learning | Scoop.it
From gregashman.wordpress.com - September 10, 2017 9:03 AM
As a long time observer of the Canadian province of Ontario, I am given hope by news that Ontario Premier, Kathleen Wynne, has acknowledged the need to improve the maths curriculum. Ontario's maths results in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have been declining for some time now. My hypothesis is that this decline…
Paul's insight:

"There are a few prominent Canadian voices on Twitter but, as far as I can tell, they hold no positions of authority in Canadian education and will be easily marginalised as eccentric, old-fashioned conservatives." A good assessment of this situation in Ontario when it comes to math.

5 Ways to Make AWESOME Plans for a New Makerspace

5 Ways to Make AWESOME Plans for a New Makerspace | New learning | Scoop.it
From renovatedlearning.com - August 24, 2017 9:27 AM
For the first time in four years, I am without a makerspace.  My new school’s library is beautiful and huge and has a school culture that is just ripe for making.  Even though it was tempting, I decided not to change it up and create a makerspace over the summer.  I want to be sure that the library program, including a new makerspace, is responsive to the needs of the school and its culture.  Therefore, I plan on spending at least the first-semester making plans for how this space will work.  It will likely be very different from my previous space, but I’m excited to see what forms.

Making plans for a new makerspace can be daunting, so I’ve gathered together some tips to help get started:

When will Ontario break the cycle that is failing its math students?

From beta.theglobeandmail.com - September 2, 2017 4:30 PM
I fear that the Ontario government’s math strategy is to double down on the very techniques that have caused scores to decline in the first place
Paul's insight:

"Contrary to what parents are often told, discovery techniques are not backed up by solid research evidence. In fact, research evidence strongly favours explicit instruction by a teacher, followed by student practice, over discovery-based instruction for nurturing better understanding and strong mathematics problem solvers."
