Like molding clay....

Curriculum....it’s like molding clay. It's moving all the time, never linear, never ending.



Those of us addicted to learning and working in our passion have a responsibility to help others understand the power of …… (fill in the blank)



We need to design playgrounds and learning environments that are High Touch & High Concept. Terms from Daniel Pink, who writes so eloquently about this whole new awakening that HAS to happen.



High touch involves

Rethinking. Reframing. Changing.

Posted on June 23, 2007 at 9:44pm 0 Comments

I came across these three words, during some some off-road political reading which made me think about organizations and how they're built.



Rethinking. Reframing. Changing.



Re-imagine!



All of us have similiar and yet somewhat different circumstances in our individualized communities. How each one builds where they're at with what they have will determine success.



I believe our district has a lot of success coming up if people will step on-board and get out… Continue

Do we know our environment?

Posted on June 21, 2007 at 9:35pm 0 Comments

I feel so far behind in my reading! Working on technical stuff....



One of the best read journals for my own thinking and learning is the journal of online education called Innovate.



A quoted snippet:



The Net Generation (N-Gen) is defined as the population of about 90 million young people who have grown up or are growing up in constant

contact with digital media (Tapscott 1998). Tapscott has, through

extensive interviews, identified a number of changes in… Continue

Discovery learning.....

Where has discovery learning taken you? What does discovery learning look like for our students?



I'm thinking about diversity....are we building in diversity within our curriculum's?



Thinking about community....



I believe it may be a different solution for each community based on race, ethnicity, first language, socio-economic status, geographic, bio-technical, green living...the list is limitless. We have no choice. Our communities are already diverse!

Don't get me wrong, I love/loved the concept of Classroom 2.0 but it just occurred to me that the only way I can interact with a person on their page is limited to one click which makes it seem one-directional to me.



Kevin Honeycut ROCKS! His ideas continue to inspire those in the trenches. Make sure you subscribe to "Driving Questons" in the iPod Directory through your iTunes! ......and his website if you please.

I can understand the addiction to social networks. It's like what Linda Loder talked about....hypertext brain trips! Learning every bit of the way.

Karla,

Thanks for a kind reply to my comment to your "About vision..." posting. Your vision and activist ambition are too valuable to lose in the exercise of indignation and opposition. Your spirit and will are preciously vital as qualities of leadership for building coalitions with others of like mind initially, who together strategize for later, more creative and less antagonistic ways to see change for good happen. For some reason, what comes to my mind as I write this is the effectiveness of Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is overcoming fierce resistance to racial desegragation in the 1960s. There was no hesitation on that movement's part to challenge, to move foreward, but they never once did battle and they engaged the much wider society to take notice and support their efforts. Making change happen takes vision and spirit, which you have in abundance, but it also takes wise strategy of the widest possible engagement of supporters.

Thanks again,

Skip
