Rather, the goal is to create the 21st century "learning" environment. In fact, we are working on the core values today during our professional development. <br /><br />Measuring student learning can be tough, but we see letting students show mastery in different engaging, relevant, and rigorous ways will help us move "learning". How to show that will come in time.Jeff Dickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17166854295126905359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405132171474818881.post-2351687691107094952010-02-10T03:47:44.994-08:002010-02-10T03:47:44.994-08:00Another powerful & challenging comment made by...Another powerful & challenging comment made by Whitaker: "We are no longer in the business of teaching, we're in the business of learning!" It's exciting to see the giant strides Newell-Fonda is making in the area of technology! One big challenge seems to be, in the midst of the excitement of 'new' technology, that it is the TOOL to get to the learning, not the end GOAL! With that in mind, how do we know that students are learning, or are we assuming they're learning when implementing these amazing "tools?"Esther Mullennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405132171474818881.post-75124869162172161842009-12-21T09:39:49.614-08:002009-12-21T09:39:49.614-08:00I particularly like these two: "A school'...I particularly like these two: "A school's 3 year tech plan should be about curriculum." & "Need to have a curriculum in place to support having a device in every students hands." Curriculum is absolutely key, here. It's not about devices, it's about instruction.Tim Limberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118599356625262772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405132171474818881.post-58587056520248472432009-12-18T04:42:03.976-08:002009-12-18T04:42:03.976-08:00Couldn't agree with you more, and vice versa, ...Couldn't agree with you more, and vice versa, teachers should not be afraid to let students show them how to do certain things. Check out this video done by one of our students. http://bit.ly/6rOeiqJeff Dickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17166854295126905359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405132171474818881.post-60199911881006813092009-12-17T20:04:20.424-08:002009-12-17T20:04:20.424-08:00This month I had my first opportunity to participa...This month I had my first opportunity to participate in a Scott McLeod workshop with several dozen administrators. Mr. McLeod has a solution to the implementation problem: Teachers become leaners right beside their students. When the professionals receive training on a new piece of equipment, a new software package, or an educational website, the students should also receive the training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
