 It's not a new sentiment, but all the more true... - dfw
This was a frustrating keynote, because there was so much that Whitby said that I desperately wanted to Tweet out. Darn that Internet. I did just post a blog entry with some of those statements, here - http://goo.gl/1JGjK - dfw
This doesn't really teach us much, except that it's ok for school to be hard but fun work. - dfw
Yep! I heard a lot about this one! - dfw

This is what's encouraging to me right now, that we're unapologetically using phrases like that. Un-heard of un the U.S. for many years. - dfw
I liked that one as well. Not very practical, but it places the emphasis where it needs to be -- the verb, learning. - dfw

It occurs to me that there is nothing new in any of this. Much of it was possible back in the late 80s with Apple IIes and FrEdMail. I'm wondering what's the next new. - dfw
I makes learning like work, in the same way that work today likes learning. - dfw

It's the problem with attending a conference with poor Internet. You only get a taste of the sessions you wish you'd have attended ;-) - dfw

Like Dick, I was yearning for more. I see a lot of students performances as openings to conferences like this, but not one as powerful and inspiring as that one. I felt sorry for Milton. I've been threatening to add a clause to my speaking contracts that I "don't follow kids." ;-) - dfw

If it's the teacher who is spending time and skill with lesson planning, materials gathering, etc, then it is he who owns the knowledge.

@JamesDalziel1 #elc12 The need 4 parent inclusion & partnership is a co-requisite in our journey 4 creativity, innovation & entrepreneurship 2 Nov 2012 - 1:36:50 Hmmm! I don't remember that line, so I can't recall the context. But it does make a certain amount of sense. Innovation makes no sense if it doesn't apply to a real world, and for school, the homes of our children are their "real world." - dfw
2 Nov 2012 - 1:34:45 When he said that, I provoked the thought in me, that if students are getting a certain amount of satisfaction out of school, then they may come to expect such satisfaction from their after-schooling lives. Perhaps a reason for making school such a drudgery was that so many jobs, in the industrial age, were drudges.. - dfw
2 Nov 2012 - 1:12:35 Yes! Life is learning. If you aren't learning, then you're stunted... - dfw
2 Nov 2012 - 1:00:07 I guess I'll have to read the book. I really didn't walk away with a cohesive sense of the edges... Maybe it's the jet lag. - dfw

I found this to be quite an interesting take on an old argument about integration. But are these two domains enough. I suspect that there may be as many as five of them, though that's an arbitrary number. - dfw
I keep coming back to, How have I learned since school left my life? I certainly have continued to learn. How much of what you need to know to do your job, did you learn in school? We all learn. What is the curriculum of our adult-world learning. Shouldn't curriculum be more like that? - dfw
Chuckle! but "No!" What do you think. I've noodled on this one, but not come up with anything that, even with its fallacies, has more productive meaning. - dfw
I like the analogy of digital at home and analog at school. - dfw

Video games are entirely about assessment. Every action you take is assessed. But the purpose is to help you learn something new about the game, a new rule or quality of its virtual reality. From that knowledge, you advance. The purpose of assessment is to learn. - dfw

Teach kids how to ask the most interesting questions. What is not on the Internet is the questions. #elc12 #SISRocks 3 Nov 2012 - 2:54:12 Not sure what's meant here, but what it makes me think is, "Ask questions that you (the teacher) do not know the answers to." - dfw
I am deleting out obvious retweets. Hope that's OK! - dfw
I thought that this was really cool. I wonder, though, if including the local farmers was part of the lesson planned by the teachers, or the idea of learners. - dfw
Heidi Hayes Jacobs calls it "public learning." - dfw
The quote was, "Technology is the fire around which we tell our stories." - dfw
I have to confess that I'm disappointed with the lack of backchanneling here, and I suspect that it has more to do with the Internet problems at the conference than a reluctance among attendees. Some of the most prolific backchanneling happens in leadership conferences in the states. I believe that we should be outraged by the intermittent Internet here. But I'm a true southerner, and it takes a lot for me to get outraged. - dfw
Yes! It's about inquiry, but not teacher assigned questions, but student instigated questioning, questioning themselves around barriers -- like with video games. - dfw
The full line is, "20th century education was defined by its limits. 21st century education must be defined by it lack of limits." - dfw
It's responsive, because the writer expects their work to be read and responded to (commenting). An important part of this is that the work is read, not measured. - dfw
Hash tags are huge. What's interesting is that Twitter didn't invent them. The idea came from a Twitter user. I write about it in my book, "Cultivating Your Personal Learning Network," -- out soon! - dfw

3 Nov 2012 - 6:22:30 It takes understand the grammar of our contemporary information landscape. It takes investigating. I would also qualify, that true or false does not mean that it has scholarly robustness. It means, Is the information appropriate for the task at hand? Does the information help you accomplish your goal? - dfw
3 Nov 2012 - 6:21:09 This reminds me of the school in New York City where they hire video game designers to assist teachers in designing more relevant and compelling lessons. - dfw
3 Nov 2012 - 7:23:08 Ah! But is the feedback, you did that right, or you did that wrong. In video games the feedback is, "That worked!" or "That didn't work!" Now that's an effective form of feedback. - dfw

When he said that, I provoked the thought in me, that if students are getting a certain amount of satisfaction out of school, then they may come to expect such satisfaction from their after-schooling lives.

Tis true! But we are in the business of changing our students lives. Might we change our own? - dfw
Added lines 173-174:
Yes! But might we prep for higher accomplishment. I have in my mind a sense that there is a difference between accomplishment and achievement. Achievement is the term de jour in the states -- "increase achievement." Accomplishment is something different. it results in something that students can show. Saying, "Hear's what I made." The learning involved is hopefully obvious. - dfw
Added lines 183-184:
If it was easy, we'd already be there. Part of the hard is that change will be the constant. It will not be a matter of changing the system and then walking away believing that we've "fixed that problem." Some have said that we have to become comfortable with discomfort. - dfw
Added lines 189-190:
It's in the conversations we have everyday in our meetings, in the halls, both casually and professionally. One of the ideas that I forgot to share related to new hires. If I was hiring a teacher, one of the questions I'd ask is, "Tell me about something you've learned recently. How did you learn it? What will you do with it? - dfw
Added lines 195-196:
If we could just figure out how to evaluate not just what children have learned, but also what they can do with what they've learned. - dfw
Added lines 201-202:
Now there's a problem for you. But if our reflections on our learning because the conversational expectations in your schools culture, then we'll all do it. It not like we have to be somewhere with some tool to do it. Learning is part of our lifestyle. - dfw
Added lines 207-208:
Another problem. But can't the reflection be apart of the learning? Does the reflection have to be separate, something that extra time has to be devoted to. - dfw
Added lines 217-218:
It's something of an over dramatization, but curiosity is not typically part of our pedagogy -- and I'm talking about real keeping you up at night curiosity. - dfw
Added lines 227-228:
Now that a learning concept, posing questions to your network. I could share some funny stories about what I've learned from my network. They are the greater part of my own brain. - dfw
Added lines 233-236:
It's OK. If 10% of the audience backchannels, then that's a lot. But those who do are usually those who's insights need to be a part of the online handouts.
What's really been interesting was having students backchannel during my presentation. - dfw
Added lines 245-246:
Yes, I liked that one as well. It's kind of like a shopping mall. Students get to shop for learning. - dfw
Added lines 259-260:
I'm not sure that's entirely true. I might suggest that structure is helpful, but it doesn't need to be administered. It should be a learner-constructed structure. - dfw
Added lines 269-270:
It's why I was never happy as a consultant. The answer to that question depends on the school, its staff, the students and where they come from and where they're going. - dfw
Added lines 275-276:
Now that's interesting. Would love to have a chance to teach English. I was lousy at grammar, do not read very fast, and hate diagraming sentences. I might make a good language arts teacher ;-) - dfw

I like the inclusion of board members. I would assume that they are not educators. Their perspective would be different, valuably so. - dfw
Added lines 295-296:
But what is it about the culture of the school that invites risks. I believe that there is much that we could learning from video game design. As I suggested in the workshop, video games are entirely about pedagogy. There is a school in New York that hires video game designers to assist teachers and planning their lessons and activities. - dfw

One of the interesting things I learned from this TED was that introvert doesn't mean shy. One thing that I figured out a long time ago (as an introvert) is that intensely interactive situations drain energy. But for extraverts, they gain energy from interactions. - dfw

Gravitar is kind of a cool tool. You upload an avatar image for your self, to gravitar, and then apply your grav-account to Twitter and Facebook, etc. If you change your picture in Gravitar, then it automatically changes in the other networks. - dfw
Added lines 39-40:
It's a good question and the answer is a mixed bag. It is distracting, and I think that if people are Knitting or Tweeting during my presentation, then you do miss some stuff. But the trade-off is that you may be more engaged in the issues of the talk, because you are reading the insights of other attendees and adding your own. It's not something you would do all the time. For me, as the teacher, I have never used backchanneling that I didn't learn something new from your conversation. - dfw
Added lines 53-54:
I certainly hope that it didn't disappoint too much. I worked so hard on that slide deck. - dfw

20th century education was defined by its limits: walls of the classroom and covers of the textbook. 21st century education must be defined by its lack of limits. - dfw

Added lines 75-76:
I'm glad. You really have to appreciate how much I depend on my slides to keep me on track. - dfw
Added lines 81-82:
For students to learn to teach themselves, teacher need to practice self-teaching and reflect on the experience. We all self-teach after school. But we tend not to reflect on the learning, because it doesn't look like a classroom. Life is a classroom, and metacognition is the path to heaven -- if I might be so bold. - dfw
Added lines 87-88:
I told the story of the product from Scotland, the school providing a BBC-style web presence to the community with multimedia reports published for folks to learn from. The analogy of classroom/school as newsroom. Another that I like is school as learning museum, and teachers and students are the curators. - dfw
Added lines 93-94:
It's tough. But learning independently is empowering, and the powers of learning are what we're about. - dfw
Added lines 99-100:
I'm seeing the momentum changing, and so much more willingness to talk about new learning environments and experiences. For years it was just about test-prep. I think that 1:1 initiatives are part of the shift, that teaching and learning naturally change when students have access to a global electronic library, and they are starting to fact-check their teachers. Calling ourselves master learners, gives us permission to make mistakes, and then say, "Here's what I learned from that." - dfw
Added lines 105-106:
I liked to suggestion that students should be inclined to explore. Learning should be about exploring, experimenting and discovery. - dfw
Added lines 111-112:
I'm not sure what is meant here. I think that you have to have the skills of learning and the inclination to learn. We all do it, mostly. It's just coming to realize that it's learning. Like I said earlier, we don't think of it as learning, because it doesn't look like a classroom. It's the same with students, that the learning they experience playing video games, doesn't feel like learning, because it's not happening in a classroom. - dfw
Added lines 117-122:
I think so. Math is how we measure our world, and we do it all the time, though we don't typically give voice to it. But the things we do give voice to do require language.
I think that we teach math wrong. We teach students to calculate, but now why. Why do we teach the math and then give them the word problems. Might it make more sense to start with the word problems.
I think that we do have the inclination to learn language, but not so much to be taught grammar. Are they two separate things? What do you think? - dfw
Added lines 139-140:
Now that's a big one. Should the government? I don't know. I have to agree that there is a shallow set of basic knowledge kids need to learn so that we all have a common and workable context. I suggested a while back that someone develop a web tool that scans the news looking for current topics of value and then dig deeper, looking for the background information that would lead to the understanding of the topic. You would have a dynamic projecting of the basic knowledge kids need right now. - dfw
Added lines 145-146:
That's probably true. But as students are invited or expected to talk about how they learn, to metacognate (?), then they may be able to learn regardless. They would better know themselves and how they might be able to construct learning experiences that are more personal. But I'm talking way general. - dfw
Added lines 151-152:
Yea, but I worry a bit about putting to much stock in interest. Perhaps one of the jobs of the teacher is help students to develop useful interests. - dfw
Added lines 156-157:
..and I think that part of that is the teacher who unapologetically describes the mysteries of a topic. Rather than teaching only what's already known, we should also ask questions about what is unknown. - dfw
