    Accountability means that the teacher is empowered to go to websites and take their students 'places' but that they are also held accountable for being vigilant monitors of their own classroom. The problem is that most teachers aren't allowed full access to much of the internet and it stymies their ability to move forward into this type of teaching -- that is why accountability is essential.

    Is this your mission statement?

  • coolcatteacher
    coolcatteacher said 2 years Edit Delete

    Great point! Good teaching has always been difficult and challenging but it is worth it! It is very rewarding and we as teachers are the ones who benefit. And we wonder why kids don't retain what we want them to know when all we do is talk AT them!

    Hahha..you have good sense of humor.

    This is your model of integrating Wiki in the classroom. Hmm this is great!

    You know what, I am teaching a course in Edutech for a group of teachers this summer. Can I use this model? Can you be my case study? You seem to be an expert in this!

    Costly? Yes, it does take coordination (we work hard at that here) so that they are not overloaded, but often they learn better with a project. When I recall the things I've learned they are most often associated with a project not a test.

    Elements of Effective Web 2.0 Classroom

    1. Web Safety and Privacy: Self Explanatory
    2. Information Literacy: Bit Literacy, I heard this book is great
    3. Web Citizenship: Should we encourage adoption of OpenID for this?
    4. Web Teamwork: Use ActiveCollab, Basecamp, ClockingIT
    5. Intentional Web Activities: Example, like Wikipedia for Schools. Why not use Citizendium?
    6. Accountability: Can you explain more about this?

    Authentic assessment is a principle that means that you are truly assessing a skill or task -- for example, if you are an english teacher and you are testing on hyphens -- if you test on the rules of hyphenation -- you are not truly testing their ability to use hyphens. If you have them write or correct sentences with hyphens you are more authentically assessing whether they can accomplish the task. It is trying to get more at the actual thing that you are assessing rather than assessing how well they memorize.

    I love this picture. Can you send it to me? How can I get it?

    This sums up the need to teach our students ways to swim in the sea of information.

    In this case to surf in the sea of information tsunami.

    Pair share. Hey vicki, I love that insight.

    Pair Share = Wiki. Lovely.

    Ahh the cone of learning. Let me comment why this is not happening in schools. Most of the time it is not because teachers don't want to implement it but because of the nature of the school system that we inherit from the past is blocking our ability to implement this in class.

    1. Doing the real thing: We need infrastructure for this and expertise. Cost more money.
    2. Simulating the real experience: Same as above and needs more preparation to simulate it in class.
    3. Dramatic PPT: Same as above. Needs preparation for a very long time.
    4. Giving a talk: If done too much, students may resent it.
    5. Participating in a discussion: Easy to implement. Not much problem here.
    6. Seeing it done on location: Field trips...needs lots of paperwork, bureaucracy and cost money. Needs to be away from classroom.
    7. Watching a demonstration: Needs planning. Needs tools resources. Needs experts doing demo. Okay not hard in most cases.
    8. Looking at an exhibit. Same as 6.
    9. Watching a movie: Needs AV tools available. But if done too much, students will wonder where did the teaching go? Too passive.
    10. Looking at pictures, hearing worlds, reading. Low cost and easy to implement.

    In short, most classes and teachers are stuck with number 10 because it is low cost and easiest to implement. That is what they were trained for. But number 10 items are really a pain for Digital Natives who have limited attention spans.

    No wonder they feel frustrated in schools.

    Recently I read that experts are already thinking of how to scrap the internet as we know it and starting anew. That is unthinkable for many people. But maybe schools needs a similar treatment. Are we bold enough to do so?

    Thanks for sharing this. I really need to have the citation for this and you provided it. Thanks once again. This is really useful to illustrate why cooperative learning strategies is important in the classroom.

    This is another innovation to promote learning in School 2.0. But the problem with this is that students get overloaded with projects and it is costly for them if done too often.

    Can you tell me more about Authentic Assessment.
