Work Smarter not Harder

  • Never loose your bookmarks again

  • Colleagueship : Many hands make light work

  • Organize or Share your research and resources

  • EXPORT your Research to MLA or APA Style citation

  • RSS feeds

  • Do it once not twice. Just in TIME resource list embedded on a wiki

  • Dynamically populate a web site with just pieces of a web site that relate to a section of your bookmarks

 

Collective and Collaborative Knowledge

  • Promote Team Work- Contructing knowledge together

  • Cheating or Collaboration? (constructivist pedagogy)

    • As Thomas Friedman persuasively argued in this book "The World is Flat," we live in a very different and rapidly changing economic and cultural environment. Schools need to change to prepare students for the dynamic opportunities of the 21st century workforce. Collaboration in most of our schools today is still called "cheating." Our factory model of transmission-based education must be transformed into one where learners regularly collaborate, access and "remix" digital information, and extend their learning beyond the traditional bell schedule.

      Wisdom of Crowds

    The Wisdom of Crowds James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of Crowdshttp://www.randomhouse.com/features/wisdomofcrowds/

     

    “The wisdom of crowds comes not from the consensus decision of the group, but from the aggregation of the ideas/thoughts/decisions of each individual in the group”

     

     

    Redesign Assignments for Increased Critical Thinking Skill

     

  • Create Assignments and Assessments that require higher critical thinking skills

  • Let them cut copy paste with a purpose!

     

    Assignment 1: Write a report on a Topic from this list (Teacher shows list of topics in curriculum) Assignment 2: Prepare for a PSA Select a topic from this list that you will create a PSA about. In order to prove to me that this topic is worth sponsoring (investing $$) find 3 statistics attesting to what extent this is a problem with today's teens

     

    Note: It's not perfect –

    Level 1 (get comfortable with technology)

    Level 2 (use it for a higher quality product)
