B-SLIM: Assessment & Eval. Looking for Strategies and Activities?

Woman’s lifelong dream to honour mom on The Price is Right marred by cyberbullying. TORONTO — When 30-year-old Shawna High walked onto the set of The Price is Right in Los Angeles earlier this year, she never thought she’d be the subject of international criticism for mistakenly thanking her friends in “Canadia.”
But she says that after facing blowback from the media and people around the world online, her critics need to understand the full story. “I arrived that morning super excited, nothing was working in my favour; I was late, parked in a tow zone to run across the boulevard to make the gate,” she said, adding that she then met two Canadian women and chatted with them as they waited in line. “We got to know each other, we talked, I told my story of why I was there and I eventually had everyone surrounding me rooting for me to be a contestant on the show.” Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator: January 2014. Join me this evening at 4pm Eastern Time and hear me discuss why social media is an essential tool for K-12 classrooms.
Why? Because, the role of today’s educator is to prepare students to thrive in the world in which they live. In today’s world, if you want to run a business, run for office, or change the way things are run where you live, play, or work, you must be savvy in the use of social media. If we do not ensure our kids are equipped to do so responsibly and effectively, we are robbing them of the real and relevant education they deserve.

The Sky's the Limit: 16 Must-Read Quotes from Michael Fullan's Stratosphere - Getting Smart by Tom Vander Ark - DigLN, edreform, EdTech. Michael Fullan is certainly one of the three to four most influential edu-writers of our time.
On whole systems design and change, only Paul Hill has earned equal influence. His most recent contribution, Stratosphere: Integrating Technology, Pedagogy, and Change Knowledge , is very short and very optimistic. Like me, Fullan is convinced that we can and must build “irresistibly engaging” learning experiences for both students and teachers. I love his notion of ‘skinny solutions’–they’re hard to build and easy to implement. Education as it should be – passion-based.

6 Truths About Technology in Education. I recently had the opportunity to Keynote the University of Pennsylvania Literacy Network’s Winter Symposium.
Penn Literacy Network founder Mort Botel (who was also a former President of the International Reading Association) wrote one of the most influential works in my teaching career, “The Plainer Truths of Teaching/Learning/Assessing Across the Curriculum“; and with his passing this past year, I hoped to honor him in this address by framing my talk around the Truths of Technology in Education. Truth #1 is the reason we educate students. Learning isn't linear and no two kids learn the same way! @BryanMMathers #edchat #competency.

Educational Leadership:Technology-Rich Learning:New Literacies and the Common Core. Educational Leadership:Technology-Rich Learning:New Literacies and the Common Core. A group of high school students stares intently at the famous crop-duster sequence from Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Cary Grant is standing alone at the side of a deserted highway. As film buffs know, Grant isn't alone for long; a mysterious crop-duster plane soon appears out of nowhere and begins dive-bombing him, chasing him down the road until he is forced to take cover in a cornfield. As the students watch the film, they look for moments when editing cuts have been made by the film editor. Each time an edit occurs (when one shot switches to another), they clap their hands. The students' claps become closer and closer together, and it becomes evident that as the scene picks up in intensity, Hitchcock and his film editor have also picked up the pace of the cuts.
It makes sense that an emphasis on new ways of reading and writing fits easily within the Common Core umbrella. Our Space: Being a Responsible Citizen of the Digital World. For most young people today, engagement with new digital media is a routine aspect of life. Through computers, mobile phones, and other handheld devices, youth can blog, tweet, participate in social networks like Facebook, play massive multi-player games, use online information sources, and share videos, stories, music, and art they’ve created. Important skills and knowledge can be gained from such activities, but there are also risks. Streams of Content, Limited Attention: The Flow of Information through Social Media. © 2010 danah boyd.
