Public Sticky notes

Perhaps school is where you find world-class science labs and pottery kilns and electron microscopes and great orchestras, theatrical productions and dance classes while stuff you can do at home is done at home. Unfortunately, the very things that make physical schools viable in the future are the first things to be stripped from the curriculum.

This is a wonderful vision. I remember the buttons my parents bought us in the 1970's when schools were cutting arts funding. They said "Music IS Basic" . These collaborative scenarios should be what school is *for*.

child well enough that you can build upon their interests, passions, strengths and desires.

Reading The Global Achievement Gap has given me insight to how high schools are doing this. (Last 2 chapters of the book)

Would have loved a link to an archive of this presentation!

I never imagined that 19 years later we would be fastening giant pre-Gutenberg technology to classroom walls. The priest chants while the monks take dictation on their tablet PCs. Don’t “interactive” white boards require bricks and mortar while reinforcing the dominance of the front of the room?

I agree with Gary that IWBs have potential to be Pre-Gutenberg when used poorly. I have seen it firsthand. However, they can be part of meaningful workstations where knowledge is constructed if teachers are doing their jobs properly.

Our network policies treat teachers and children as either imbeciles or felons. How many of you are unable to use your classroom computers in educationally sound ways because of a network policy created without your input?

You cannot blame such stupidity on four walls of brick and mortar. The blame lies within the bankruptcy of our imaginations.

Bankruptcy is so appropriate a word choice for today's world, yes?

Much of what is called virtual education is really just bad teaching done on the cheap. Most of what I have seen offered as online courses for students doesn’t rise to the level of a mail-order correspondence course.

We install iPod labs so that children can be marched down the hall once a week for iPod lessons. We chain laptop computers to desks and don’t allow children to take them home. That’s the point of a laptop. You cannot blame such stupidity on four walls of brick and mortar. The blame lies within the bankruptcy of our imaginations.
