an important goal today:
“do no harm”

not fear overwhelm


picture the importance of relationships at school

too many people today believe
in the power of
TECHNOLOGY rather than
the power of WORDS &

Dr. Larry Cuban

(2003) www.tc.columbia.edu/news.htm?articleID=3911&pub=6&issue=56

“As for enhanced efﬁciency in learning and teaching,
there have been no advances (measured by higher
academic achievement of urban, suburban, or rural
students) over the last decade that can be conﬁdently
attributed to broader access to computers. No
surprise here, as the debate over whether new
technologies have increased overall American
economic productivity also has had no clear answers.
The link between test score improvements and
computer availability and use is even more contested.”

Dr Larry Cuban. Oversold and Underused: Computers in the
Classroom. Harvard University Press. 2003. ISBN: 0674011090. pages
178-179.

Michael
Horn

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

“…the billions schools have spent on computers have
had little effect on how teachers and students learn…
The reason for this disappointing result is that the way
schools have employed computers has been perfectly
predictable, perfectly logical– and perfectly wrong. As we
show in this chapter, schools have crammed them into
classrooms to sustain and marginally improve the way
they already teach and run their schools, just as most
organizations do when they attempt to implement
innovations, including computers. Using computers this
way will never allow schools to migrate to a student-
centric classroom.”

Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns. McGraw Hill.
2008. Pages 72-73.

time on task parent involvement

http://web2thatworks.com by Stephanie Sandifer @ssandifer

...when assigning a project, teachers look for
mastery of content and allow students to take
ownership of how they present that content. A
teacher may ask students to demonstrate their
knowledge of photosynthesis, but rather than
give them a speciﬁc means of doing so, will allow
the students to use any available resources to do
so. This not only gets the students innovating
more as they navigate through this task, but
more importantly makes each student’s
experience unique and gives them ownership
over the product they produce. Some students 15 March
may make posters, some a voicethread, some a 2012
powerpoint or prezi, but this should be no
problem for the educator as they are assessing
on mastery learning objectives and not actual
means of presenting them.

The Fire

There was a fire ban that year
But the carless campers left
Leaving smoldering remains behind
The fire that ate the forest

Wind whispered wordlessly in the trees
The fire was given new life
Like a new small heartbeat


...continued...

The ﬁre lit the dry grass
It was gathering in strength
Like a lion preparing to strike

The ﬁre now reached the trees
It was a wild beast let free
Grey smoke billowed up to the sky
