Digital Native… *cringe*. March 26, 2016 · 1:29 pm. Teaching Digital Natives with Marc Prensky. Ok, I’m glad this post is juxtaposed with my last post on digital natives. Teaching Digital Natives: Partnering for Real Learning. Prensky does a great job of emphasizing the “verb” of the learning and allowing the tech tool to be simply a tool. Again, preaching to the choir here. I’m 100% behind this message. Were better because we talked about the “science” behind the things we were doing. Filed under Ed Tech.

Digital Native… *cringe* →. January 5, 2016 · 2:42 am. Our district PD included a visit from Eric Sheninger. He shared his school’s tech revolution and how they kept it standards driven. I agree with his message, but it did feel a little canned and a little dated. To me, anyway. But honestly… It was a message that some of our teachers needed to hear.

Embracing Tech Change →. October 1, 2015 · 1:37 am. I had the opportunity to attend the Challenge Success Workshop. At Stanford. I like to say that… “at Stanford.”. We put a great deal of stress on students with school, homework, and extracurriculars. Do we justify this stress by thinking, “We’re just preparing them for the real world”? Are their brains even ready for this kind of stress? I feel that, as a teacher, I should continue to be flexible with the amount of homework I assign and with deadlines.

Newer posts →. January 29, 2015 · 2:47 pm. Differentiation– Intuition vs. Intention. We have all received a one-size-fits-all t-shirt, maybe at a blood drive or a fun run. How many of us have quickly retired that shirt to the bottom of a drawer? Advocates such as Carol Tomlinson tout the benefits of differentiation as student growth and motivation as well as efficiency in instruction. It makes sense. It makes so much sense that most teachers differentiate intuitively. When students needed ext...I’v...

Making New Teachers Feel Welcome! Student Stress #challengesuccess →. September 25, 2015 · 1:56 am. I attended the Better Conversations workshop. It was a half-day workshop, and honestly, it was one of the better workshops I’ve attended. Such a simple concept. We’re teachers– we talk all the time, right? But are we really listening? Are we conveying our message as effectively as possible? Are we making an effort to create meaningful relationships and partnerships? Comments Off on #betterconversations.

Teaching Digital Natives with Marc Prensky →. January 8, 2016 · 2:37 am. Digital Native… *cringe*. Some people dislike the word “moist.” I cringe when I hear the term “digital native.” Like nails across a chalkboard, like teeth on a metal fork cringe…. I feel that students are comfortable with technology as long as they are CONSUMERS of technology. When it comes time to be a CREATOR… not so much. When it comes time to be a CREATOR with a purpose, well, even less. Yeah, they EMAIL each other. Enter your e...
