“As for enhanced efﬁciency in learning and teaching,there have been no advances (measured by higheracademic achievement of urban, suburban, or ruralstudents) over the last decade that can be conﬁdentlyattributed to broader access to computers. Nosurprise here, as the debate over whether newtechnologies have increased overall Americaneconomic productivity also has had no clear answers.The link between test score improvements andcomputer availability and use is even more contested.”Dr Larry Cuban. Oversold and Underused: Computers in theClassroom. Harvard University Press. 2003. ISBN: 0674011090. pages178-179.

Michael Horn(2008) www.ﬂickr.com/photos/wfryer/3349773813/

“…the billions schools have spent on computers havehad little effect on how teachers and students learn…The reason for this disappointing result is that the wayschools have employed computers has been perfectlypredictable, perfectly logical– and perfectly wrong. As weshow in this chapter, schools have crammed them intoclassrooms to sustain and marginally improve the waythey already teach and run their schools, just as mostorganizations do when they attempt to implementinnovations, including computers. Using computers thisway will never allow schools to migrate to a student-centric classroom.”Christensen, Horn & Johnson. Disrupting Class: How DisruptiveInnovation Will Change the Way the World Learns. McGraw Hill.2008. Pages 72-73.

...when assigning a project, teachers look formastery of content and allow students to takeownership of how they present that content. Ateacher may ask students to demonstrate theirknowledge of photosynthesis, but rather thangive them a speciﬁc means of doing so, will allowthe students to use any available resources to doso. This not only gets the students innovatingmore as they navigate through this task, butmore importantly makes each student’sexperience unique and gives them ownershipover the product they produce. Some students 15 Marchmay make posters, some a voicethread, some a 2012powerpoint or prezi, but this should be noproblem for the educator as they are assessingon mastery learning objectives and not actualmeans of presenting them. http://theoffbeatmaestro.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/new-england-11-summit-2/

The Fire There was a fire ban that year But the carless campers left Leaving smoldering remains behind The fire that ate the forestWind whispered wordlessly in the trees The fire was given new life Like a new small heartbeat The fire that ate the forest

...continued... The fire lit the dry grass It was gathering in strength Like a lion preparing to strike The fire that ate the forest The fire now reached the trees It was a wild beast let freeGrey smoke billowed up to the sky The fire that ate the forest
