Mary Rydzewski replied to Mario Montanero's discussion Cell Phones the future of the Internet in the group Somers Point TeachersMary Rydzewski replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion Becoming the Great Teacher You Already Are in the group Somers Point Teachers"Lisa,
Interesting article. --
" (Students)know the difference between “live” teaching and teaching that feels distinctly like it was “recorded
at an earlier time.” Students know when you are present and engaged, willing…"
Mary Rydzewski replied to Jennifer Luff's discussion Professional Development - Whose Responsibility is it? in the group Somers Point Teachers"I am not comfortable with the phrase "become more expert" since it implies a linear progression. Lifetime learning should not only be quantified -- expert 101, expert 102... I would support holistic experiences as well. For example,…"
Mary Rydzewski replied to Mario Montanero's discussion Computers and Technology in the group Somers Point Teachers"Einstein handled chalk rather well!
It's all in the hands of the user."
Mary Rydzewski replied to Mario Montanero's discussion Computers and Technology in the group Somers Point Teachers"I've been in many instructional tech classes were it is suggested that tech should not be taught as a separate subject. Instead it is another tool, just like chalk! However, occasionally a group session is needed for a specific tech skill.…"
Mary Rydzewski replied to Mario Montanero's discussion Computers and Technology in the group Somers Point Teachers"Interesting debate! Geez, I'm impressed with the high level of research for quotes in this group!!!

Mary Rydzewski replied to Mario Montanero's discussion Computers and Technology in the group Somers Point Teachers"I agree with you that, if we refuse to communicate as they do, it will make reaching students extremely difficult. At a very young age, students realize there is a disconnect between school and the "real" world of technology advances.…"

Jennifer Luff replied to Mary Rydzewski's discussion New assessment tools in the group Somers Point Teachers"I think you could do either depending on your purpose. Suppose you wanted students to show you they they have learned geometric terms and can find examples in the world. With a rubric they could then be asked to create a podcast and then you could…"
Dawn Bentivegna replied to Mary Rydzewski's discussion New assessment tools in the group Somers Point Teachers"Hi! Help out the "objective math grader..." Would we use new assessment tools with a fore given rubric to establish a numerical/ letter grade, or would this assessment be more diagnostic to imply improvements/ difficulties?"
Mary Rydzewski replied to Mary Rydzewski's discussion New assessment tools in the group Somers Point Teachers""Why not" is exactly what I was hoping for....hooray for the digital age.
Our latest project (to practice advanced research skills and extend world history ) involves students choosing among 5 student produced Ancient Civ podcasts. Their…"
Jennifer Luff replied to Mary Rydzewski's discussion New assessment tools in the group Somers Point Teachers"Sure why not?

Thanks for the comment."
