“…you can’t just drop new innovations into a classroom and hope that the instructor will invent effective ways to use them. To fully utilize a new teaching technology, you often need to invent new teaching practices as well.”

“The more education a child had been allowed to have before his/her handwriting was changed over to cursive …the larger his or her vocabulary was …the kids who’d been required to do the least cursive had vocabularies THREE TIMES the size of those who’d been required to do the most cursive.”
Kate Gladstone, Handwriting that worksAs quoted in http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/1758
You must choose what to include.

Habits
(HQ)
Just a high school degree with rote memorization will not create
success!
IQ x (CQ+PQ)+HQ =
success!
Intelligence multiplied byCuriosity and Passion

3 disruptions in history of education

2. Mass produced books
3. Networked computers

GRAPHICAL STUDENT INTERFACEPretty but it doesn’t communicate well with others.
How will we allow all of these beautiful graphical tools to interact?
How will all of the tools in education interface?
Strengths
Allow you to program common INTERFACES
Allow communication & SYNERGY between different tools and teachers
If you don’t know where you’re going how will you know when you’re there?
UNFAIR to hand students TESTS that
are a surprise.
Weaknesses
• You get what you measure"Perhaps what you measure is what you get. More likely, what you measure is all you’ll get. What you don’t (or can’t) measure is lost" – H. Thomas Johnson
"the most important figures that one needs for management are unknown or unknowable, but successful management must nevertheless take account of them." W. Edwards Deming(from Out of the Crisis, p121)
Weaknesses
• Standards, by nature gravitate towards Lower Order Thinking Skills
LOTS can crowd out HOTS
Classrooms have microclimates too!
Weaknesses
• You get what you measure• Standards gravitate, by nature
towards LOTS• LOTS can easily crowd out
HOTS• Lack of flexibility for unique
classroom needs• Who controls the standards?• Semantic confusion

LAWS
The semantics of standards
Majority doesn’t rule in science.
Just because most people think it doesn’t make it true.
A human law cannot change the laws of science.
Galileo
Every discovery began with just one person who thought it to be true.
If STANDARDS aren’t inclusive,
studentswill find out
quickly you’re not giving them
the whole picture.
WARNING
Every student SEARCHING means all
theories will eventually be FOUND and brought into
the classroom.
WARNING
This isn’t about the freedom of
speech- teachers need the freedom to
TEACH.#ccssconf2013
WARNING
To overcome Weaknesses
• You get what you measure– Must MEASURE HOTS
• Efolios• passion projects• Define what HOTs looks like in a school.• Celebrate creativity• Creativity Competitions• Requirements to collaborate
• Standards gravitate, by nature towards LOTS– Create “HOT” standards of BEHAVIORS
we want to see happening
To overcome Weaknesses
• LOTS can easily crowd out HOTS– Make room for creativity (i.e.
20% time project)• Lack of flexibility for unique
classroom needs– Teacherpreneurship– Expect customization
To overcome Weaknesses
• Who controls the standards?– Be inclusive and comprehensive
of important theories regardless of your personal opinion
– Guard standard makers from political influence
• Semantic Issues– Be careful to define terms:
standards, theories, and laws

WHAT IS COLLABORATIVE WRITING?WHAT IS “THE CLOUD?”
The process of writing, editing, and producing with a group of people.
Dr. Justin Reich @bjfr
• “Only 11% of wikis have any form of student collaboration and only 2-3% of wikis could be called ‘highly collaborative.’”
• “Giving students access to collaborative platforms doesn’t mean they will collaborate.”
http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/edtechresearcher
Types of writing on typical wikis via Dr. Justin Reich
1. Concatenation– discrete content– Students don’t touch each other’s work
2. Copy Editing– Edit grammar, punctuation, syntax or spelling
3. Co construction– Substantively edit text of another student
through addition, deletion replacementAs quoted in

Types of writing on typical wikis via Dr. Justin Reich
4. Commenting– Conversational move– Doesn’t contribute to wiki content
5. Discussion– Comment back and forth on a topic with at least
four conversational turns.

Fosters community (Elbow 373)
Helps see problems from multiple viewpoints (Howard 10)
Co-authoring impacts the writing of individual authors (Aghbar)
Improves Learning Experiences (wolf 2010)
“Ideal model for constructing, reorganizing and acquiring new information” (Janssen et all 2010)
Global collaboration is essential in today’s workplace (Friedman)
Shorten time required to solve pressing world problems (Tapscott)

Study of Expectations
• 20% of students in the student were said to have “unusual potential for intellectual growth”
• Three teachers selected were told they were selected because they were the best in the school
Rosenthal, R., and Jacobson, L. (1968). Pygmalion in the classroom: Teacher expectation and pupils' intellectual development'. New York: Rinehart and Winston.
At the end of the school year
• Led the school and district in standardized test scores
• Jumped 20-30% in academic achievement over previous year.
Rosenthal, R., and Jacobson, L. (1968). Pygmalion in the classroom: Teacher expectation and pupils' intellectual development'. New York: Rinehart and Winston.
Guess what?
• The selections were RANDOM.– Students were a mix of good/bad/ medium.– So were teachers!
Rosenthal, R., and Jacobson, L. (1968). Pygmalion in the classroom: Teacher expectation and pupils' intellectual development'. New York: Rinehart and Winston.
You Believe, You Receive!
“In experiment after experiment, it has been demonstrated that when teachers EXPECT their students to perform well, the students work hard and live up to their teacher’s expectations.”
