2020.8.5 Do you know anything about Brevard Virtual School (BVS) for little people? Do you know anyone who has any experience - as a teacher or parent or administrator - with Brevard Virtual School or Florida Virtual School? I'm really interested in how online learning is going to be offered for little people and their families. * How did your gifted kid do - seem similar to other gifted kids in your program? * One option that doesn't seem to be a choice on the Brevard site is part-time eLearning at School from Home (local school) + Brevard Virtual School. That would provide interaction local school connection with a teacher and other kids without requiring full day online participation. As a long time online instructor, all-day online would be a really tough way to go for everyone - kids, teachers and families. Some connection is hugely beneficial.

comments

  • VT * Open textbooks and other free open educational resources that can be reused, remixed, redistributed are already available though not widely adopted, primarily due to lack of exposure and promotion. With limited funds, curated open ebooks may finally gain a foothold as a viable alternative to reduced physical collections.
  • Most patrons are not aware of all of the subscriptions public and school libraries have. We need to make them aware of these wonderful sources of information * active community participation, visuals, goto site promotions
  • As an e -collections librarian I am excited to offer rich online resources but I hope there will always be an element of the opportunity to browse and discover. Marketing analogs may suggest but true discovery is harder to find. I appreciate the empathy for the digital divide and let us try to keep this top of mind in our professional practice.
  • Digital is wonderful BUT into the future are we still wanting to create community spaces - we need to think beyond digital and look at how libraries can increase inclusiveness while understanding it may take time for the more personal interactions we've been used to. Co design and community led - we need to ask and listen hide

  • Only the curious will learn and only the resolute will overcome the obstacles to learning. The quest quotient has always excited me more than the intelligence quotient. .. Edmund S. Wilson (1895-1972) U.S. author, literary and social critic.
  • Don't limit a child to your own learning for he was born in another time. --Rabindranath Tagore
  • It's our job to raise our children to be literate, compassionate, critical thinking global citizens.

2017.5.24 - A couple of thoughts - things that I would be interested to know more about and how much difference does it make for kids and the teacher

  • Genius Hour / Passion project - kids have to determine what they really care about. Most people struggle with this including kids in Dana's careers classes that I have attended. I am less interested in the actual project. Most of the information about the actual process of the first steps seems to be "You'll know it when you see it". What is it that kids really care about? How to they figure that out? How can that be encouraged and supported? http://ajjuliani.com/genius-hour-blueprint-step-step-guide-running-project-class/
  • kids know what grade they can get on a unit because they see in advance what is required for A, B, C - friend at Creekside did this for 7th grade Science. Pre-test, several tasks / activities starting with C. Do more, higher level activities for B the eligible to do A activities. Post-test. Kids who did well in the pre-test started with higher level activities. I think there was some choice at each level but some work was required. I thought this was great but she said it was a lot of work for here. Getting set up would be, but I thought it would be more interesting than whole group instruction for her as well as for the kids. But I'm not a middle school classroom teacher, :o)

I would be happy to help with any of these or anything else you come up with.

#SecretaryFuture

I want kids to know...

  • Respect for self, others, and the world (people, places, things). Appreciation for what we have (talents, resources, abilities), what we can be and how we can use it for the greater good --NG
  • You matter - self knowledge that you are important, self-confidence
  • You have much to give - a gift of yourself, your time, your respect, your caring, your appreciation and thanks
  • Be a self-directed learner - be curious and follow-up with exploration, learning, practice
  • Value of money - exchange for work, don't spend what you don't have
  • World view - big picture, perspective, consequences

Things you really need to learn - Stephen Downes


Secretary of the Future

how about this ... * give the kids a list of possibilities - good and bad. Let the groups pick a couple of each and noodle on risk, prevention options, what would it be like if this happened, response if this happens

  • solar flares knock out all electronics devices
  • all the oil in the middle east runs out
  • many of the bridges across the country continue to deteriorate and become unusable
  • some disease like Ebola infect many people in the US
  • everyone is required to pay cash for everything - no credit cards, checks
  • many rivers dry up
  • all the beaches in Florida are polluted and cannot be used
  • there are no more fish in the sea
  • robots can do most jobs that require muscles and mobility
  • all kids in the world are learning to read
  • there are no state tests - teachers and schools probably continue to have some tests

Reluctant readers, text messages and iPads

  • Carol Rainbow, retired ICT teacher/ICT adviser I used mobile phones with a group of seven to eight year old reluctant readers. The idea was for them to focus on reading and replying to text messages - the children's attitude to reading and writing improved and the children really enjoyed it. Mobiles engaged them in a way that books did not. From the teacher's point of view it took a lot of time preparing messages in 160 characters that pupils could respond to. I spent hours devising treasure hunts, splitting stories into very short lines, finding short riddles, curricular questions, sequencing exercises and more. 160 characters is not a lot to get useful information which requires a response in.

Art, Design and Engineering

2012.09.27 - It is really important that technology be integrated into everything - not held separately. However, I appreciate the need to promote the application of technology in teaching and learning in a big way. Technology is the school's middle name. I think you make a bigger statement by NOT having a Tech Lab per se.

How about this? Shift the "tech lab" to a more applied technology venue. Have a bunch of interesting extra tech equipment in the Art room - scanners, big format printer, video camera and movie editing software, even science instruments (because there will be interesting stuff to see). Much of the expanded integration of technology "stuff" fits best with Art. Even basic programming and CAD could be included into Art / Design / Engineering. I don't know what the usage of that room is. Worst case - you need two of them. Application and integration of technology is the objective so do that from the outset.

  • Media Center ? Kindle


learning freely - open education, mostly free, yours to discover, no strings attached

  • education that you can hold in your hand
  • coming soon - Lectric Learning Lab - personal, paths, progression, guidance - activities


Why - NEED - to facilitate learning anytime anywhere by providing learning experiences - inquire, create, analyze, collaborate - via kids' own phones in their pockets

  • kids have their own phones with them everywhere, all the time - take ownership, in pocket so less likely to be lost or misplaced
  • versatile, flexible - use the tools at hand in any capacity - there should not be a distinction between learning and the business of living - you don't think of a pencil as limited to use as a education resource
  • life skill - tool for exploring the world - Those who cannot claim computers as their own tool for exploring the world never grasp the power of technology [10]
  • learning is the free and open-source version of education. It's about individuals connecting to knowledge and pursuing their passions among peers and guides with fewer constraints--time, place, cash, or otherwise. [11]
  • remove / eliminate barriers to self-directed learning - no waiting to learn, location independent, no specific time, may be guided - not dictated
  • responsibility - authority can't exert absolute control


What

  • explore, discover good matches for this technology and curriculum / learning
  • identify, define high-order learning activities - create, evaluate, analyze, apply
  • extension of the traditional Library and Media Center

  • paths - if you enjoyed this..., now you can do this, try something more challenging like this... more specific / directed than simply looking for next grade level
  • transfer apps, content to phones
  • not free but great activity - eg. Brushes
  • reporting - usage targets, measurements - tracking, monitoring, assessing, evaluating
  • systematic periodic review, revision
  • range of phones - not every app available on all, functional equivalents, alternatives, "reference" copy not for checkout
  • some apps have accounts, links to web sites, are webapps - what to do case by case? eg Brain Tuner free lite download + online account for more, record keeping
  • costs / access - phone, data plan
  • home / community wifi ? school wifi outside school hours
  • in-app purchases - expansion, additional content, updates, upgrades
  • reviews - record phone configuration - OS, version, airplane, wifi off/ wifi only - depends on target use
