Friday Links of Note   Ten Things You're Not Allowed to Say at Davos - Umair Haque - Harvard Business Review I think many of the bullet points that Haque applies to Davos are applicable to all the conferences that  educators occupy themselves with.  I especially think the one about 'insiders rarely topple the status quo' is dead on.  If you have time to go to these self-congratulatory

Derek Bruff, Dwayne Harapnuik, and Jim Julius in their Chronicle of Higher Education article, "Revolution or Evolution? Social Technologies and Change in Higher Education" discuss the adviseability of and likelihood of transformational change in the adoption of new technologies by faculty. Key Points: 1. New technologies provide new learning 'affordances' but is a social technology revolution

John Levi Hilton and David Wiley discuss in their First Monday article "A Sustainable Future for Open Textbooks?" the viability and sustainability of one model of etext delivery--Flat World Knowledge. Key Points: 1. In 2008 the average price of textbooks was US$702 and 5.5 billion nation wide. 2. Textbook companies and professors have come in for a raft of criticism over the last ten years

Canadian educational research guru Stephen Downes outlines the beginnings of a new trend--the massively open online course (MOOC). Key Points: 1. The MOOC is not just an online course with lots of students. Downes characterizes it as one that has 'connectivist' philosophy at its heart. Also, the course is free to all and open to all. Nothing is required and participants can participate as

Miriam Posner and her fellow bloggers make the argument that faculty need to make themselves more visible on the Internet. If they do so, they assert that it will benefit their "scholarship, pedagogy, and even service." Key Points: 1. Web presence sounds like marketing. Isn't that beneath the dignity of one with an advanced degree? Certainly not, according to the authors. 2. If others are

Doug Lederman in his article "Colleges and the Common Core" explores the limited success in creating a 'seamess' K-20 system of education in the US. Key Points: 1. Policy makers have long acknowledged and discussed the need for a smooth transition to college level work. 2. Work has been accomplished toward this end, but the author says the progress has been limited. Lederman points to a 2008

Paul Krugman in his opinion piece, "Degrees and Dollars" plays the contrarian when he counters the conventional wisdom that in order to have better jobs we need more money invested in education. Key Points: 1. Legal research can be done with computers thus making redundant "armies of lawyers and paralegals". 2. The same is true of chip design and engineers. 3. Upshot? Modern technology

Chapter 1: Doc and His Boys1. The Members of the Gangopening reads like a novel with a first person narrative as Whyte begins his description of the Nortons, a gang he is 'studying'.My God this is Dickens!

Sugru is a soft moldable material that reminds me of Fimo clay. But unlike Fimo, it does not have to be heated to cure. It air drys and is rubbery and sticks to anything. I used it to make a new button for my utility knife when the plastic one broke. I made bumpers for my cell phone. I put some on my tools so they would not roll off the table. I am still discovering ways to use the

It's a serious issue in contemporary journalism: how do you record phone interviews while using a headset? Radio Shack sells a nice, cheap device (the previously reviewed Mini-Phone Recorder) that interrupts the cord that goes from the handset to the phone, which works well when you're using the handset. But when I do interviews by phone, I like to type a rough transcript while I

Sometimes you run across a tool that you know will change your professional, personal, and pedagogical life. Anthologize, a new plug-in for WordPress, is one of these tools.

I have been working to get schools to adopt at the very minimumsome sane social networking policies, but always in the background I amwondering, “Is any of this really necessary?” Probably not in sanesystems.

I love finding useful, thought-provoking and oddly congruent ideas from other disciplines. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Wikibon lately and this post's graph is a good example. I have always railed against the notion of a generalized 'best practice' because it is so contrary to complex and diverse systems like classrooms. You may have your own best practice, but only if it is

This is good information on how to do a podcast, how to integrate it into what teachers do, and how to justify it.  I can see how valuable this might be as a solid first step toward a larger goal.  And what would that large goal be?  To show kids how to get inside their heads and find the stuff they are passionate about and then use the tool to convey that passion.  At their age they need just
