'Learning 2 Learn' in 21st Century Learning and Teaching, Page 67

Cueva-Dabkoski is considered an “Extreme Learner,” a designation applied to just 12 individuals by the Institute for the Future, for her radical and gutsy approach to learning. Extreme Learners are self-directed, wide-ranging in their interests, comfortable with technology, and adept at building communities around their interests.

“Extreme learners aren’t so different from everybody else,” said Milton Chen, a fellow at the Institute for the Future and advocate for education reform. “We picked people who are extreme in their passion for learning.” They are also willing to go their own way when traditional educational institutions interfere with their pursuits.

Gust MEES's insight:

The educator becomes a connected educator and through sharing, is an active participant and contributor to the connected educator movement.

Being a connected educator means connecting with other teachers to exchange ideas, improve your teaching practice, and in turn, make a change in education. It is only through being connected that we can collaborate and help to foster learning for the 21st century and beyond. (Being a Connected Educator)

The gap between what is and what could be in education is larger than it ever has been. I believe this is largely due to technology and the ability to establish global connections because of social media. Educators are more connected and more aware about education trends than any time in the history of public education.

Imagine how education could be transformed if all educators use their own personal, often passion-driven voices. The bottom line is that if any individual educator believes there are flaws in the education, that it can be done better, then s/he has the responsibility to say something. I reaching the point that I am starting to believe it is a moral imperative for educators to share what they know to be true with other educators; and with administrators, students’ families, community members, politicians . . . the larger global society.

We must break down the barriers and share our ideas to improve education. It seems obvious that our national and state leaders have given our school system their best efforts and we still have too many children unsuccessful. Teachers are overworked, students over tested...we must creat a grassroots revolution to change the system for our children And their teachers.

Why You Must Reflect and Improve
Students are what we do. They are the center of our classroom, not us. However, as a teacher, I am the most impactful single person in the classroom. Honest feedback from our students will help me level up.

I've been doing this for more than ten years. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry -- and sometimes I'm mortified. But I can honestly say that every single piece of feedback I've received has made me a better teacher. And great teachers are never afraid of having or inviting hard conversations. This is one of best practices that has helped me to be a better, more excited teacher every year.

Student Voice is invaluable to the effectiveness of the educator.

Dr. Deborah Brennan's curator insight, April 2, 2015 10:20 AM

i agree! As a teacher, I always sought to improve and make my classroom more effective for students. End of year surveys helped a lot. I also had students write letters to next year's students. This gave me insight into how the course and classroom activities helped or hampered their learning. summer is a great -- there is actually time to reflect. as lessons change, there is time to do researxh and gather resources.

Sara Jaramillo's curator insight, April 23, 2020 2:21 PM

Teaching, no matter what topic comes up with a big responsability. We must be aware of how we provide feedback to our students, use the correct words, focus on the important mistakes but also recognizing the setrengs of put students in order to motivate them.

It's not hard to see why Uber data is marketing gold. As Hirson notes, Uber is right up there with the other people/organisations who know his location at all times:

There are only four people/organizations in the world who know my location at all times: my wife (because I tell her), Apple (because Siri), the NSA (because NSA), and now Uber.

Since the service Uber has built is so convenient, and increasingly essential to my life, Uber knows where I live, where I work, where I eat, where I travel, where I stay/visit and when I do all these things.

Professional Development: WHY EDUcators And TEACHers Can't Catch UP THAT Quickly AND How-To Change It | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

From gustmees.wordpress.com - March 24, 2015 4:40 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

A very quick way of adapting for Professional Development is a daily base routine of Curation to grow YOUR “PKM” AND by using ===> Coaching and/or Mentoring <===. As well as Co-Teaching, TEAM-TEACHing, as one learns from each other.

TEACHers, EDUcators SHOULD get reduced in teaching classes for a certain time AND following Professional Development courses by experienced coaches during that time… These experienced coaches (from inside or outside the school) could get named “Key Instructors” or something else. Once THEY know it by PracTICE it’s THEIR role to give “Professional Development” courses to other teachers, educators. The curriculum as well SHOULDN’T be static, it MUST get updated as soon as there is something NEW to adapt to the situation.

The following are some suggestions for establishing context (the list is just a start). Ironically, they are practices that are often recommended are best practices in teaching but they aren’t implement as often as they should be:

Creativity must be cultivated in our schools.

Dr. Deborah Brennan's curator insight, March 31, 2015 6:02 PM

Creativity has always been what has set America apart from other nations. The ability of our population to imagine new solutions to everyday problems and create innovations has kept America as a world leader and given us the economic advantage. many nations have looked at our education system and wondered how they could nurture this ability in their children. As a gifted educator, teaching creativity has always been our focus. Unfortunately, in these days of standardized testing, which lead to standardized curriculum and schools, we are losing our creative advantage. Creativity is a key for ALL our children. our children enter school with an active imagination and a natural ability for creative thinking. We must understand creativity and how we can nurture it in our classrooms and schools.
