Notas do Editor
- Thank you to organizers of CEL conference especially Heather for this invitation and for NCTE for this amazing week of learning. This is my contact info and feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect beyond today. I invite you to tweet along with this presentation and raise questions. Use the #cel13.
- These are my kids. I teach students English at the science leadership academy in Philadelphia. As an advisor, we’ve been together since summer institute and we’ll be together on graduation day and beyond. The question I ask myself: how am I preparing my students to use their passions to take on the complex challenges they will inherit and to keep in mind that we don’t teach English, but we teach students English
- The task before us is large, complex, and should humble us. We’re preparing our students for a future we cannot even imagine, yet. But, our task of helping our students become readers, writers, and thinkers remains constant. “Our Final Invention” book on Artificial Intelligence - machines that can learn. So, how do we do this work?
- So how do we do this work? Maybe we need the wisdom, experience, and ideas that fill this room. The room is smarter than the individual.
- in 2012, prices of crop were falling fast in India. Farmers in Sangli district in state of Maharastra in India used Facebook to connect with each other to connect, and collaborate to hold back their crop for few days till the prices stabilized. They used facebook via their phones to communicate this strategy.
- Connections are changing more than farming in India, & changing ability to connect with one and another, is changing the way we view and understand the world, our bodies, reward or punish behavior in our society but is it changing our classroom practice?
- This is map of my current linked in connections. Raise your hand if you’re on linkedin. These aren’t just people represented as dots but rather each is a possible source of inspiration, ideas, resources and further connections. But this is just one example of a network, your most important connection might be across the hall from you or across the country.
- You might be thinking why does this matter, so why is it important for me or my teachers to be a connected educator?
- So, why connect? Tell Marlyn’s story. Because we have to model, make learning relevant, find an audience for the work our students create, and to empower students to keep learning even when they are not in our classrooms. So I want to share some examples of ways students can learn in and out of classroom.
- teen magazine authentic writing students chose to write articles ranging from graffiti as are to how teen brains function on little sleep an intentional piece of writing that pushes against the materialist, hypersexual nature of most teen magazines it took collaboration of the copy editors, layout editors, artists, photographers to make this work possible.
- This month we are partnering up with KQED to take on the question Is College Worth and it and students are broken up into teams to take on smaller questions like: what is the true cost of college and which majors pay off at the end. Here is Haji getting his questions about the web maker tools he plans on using to answer his inquiry question. We are using Skype to talk to someone at web maker.
- Partner up with your local media outlet to get your students’ stories on their outlet — tv, radio, web.
- students learned about what is going on in the brains of toddlers and then made toys that would encourage growth of those skills in toddlers. They worked in groups and created prototype of their toys and had their work evaluated by their teacher, peers, and professors from University of Pennsylvania.
- How are you asking your students to be Strong? to be unique? to be inspired?
- Students need questions/task that are worthy of their time, creativity, and brilliance. They need a real audience. They need to “make” something. And they need to learn to collaborate.
- Bubble tests will not prepare our students questions and challenges that our students face whether it is poverty, war, access to clean water and air. In your class currently, there is a potential scientist or a senator, a poet or a police officer. How are you preparing them for the challenges they will face?
- We have plenty of standards to unpack and implement but perhaps we need to think about ways to make joy, passion, and curiosity the standards of our classroom.
- What is the first thing you reach for when you wake up in the morning? Hold that thing up, please. A little device that didn’t exist before 2007 holds our friends, family, goals, dreams, and our ability to write our future as those farmers did in India few slides ago.
- 10,000 people in San Francisco gather to make Miles’s day. He is fighting cancer and through the make-a-wish foundation, San Fran gave Miles a day he’ll never forget. He rescued a damsel in distressed, fought crime around the city, got a key to the city and heard messages from President Obama. This is what happens when power of a group of people coming together to achieve something they can never do alone.
- I welcome you to connect to one community I’ve found on the web. But that isn’t the only way, I hope you’ll tweet me, write to me and tell me how you’re helping your students become connected to their learning so that they can become makers of their own futures.
