Why Some Schools Want To Expel Suspensions : NPR

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:37:50 -0400

Why Some Schools Want To Expel Suspensions : NPR:

Research shows suspensions are disproportionately applied to minorities and give students a fast track to dropping out and to the juvenile justice system. The Los Angeles Unified School District recently instituted a ban on certain suspensions, but finding a viable alternative is a complex task.

And the law says nothing about free and appropriate public education, at our discretion.

Closing an Academic Year with Raspberry Pis

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:31:02 -0400

Incredible. We adopted the Raspi in time for the first day of the Fall semester. But it wasn’t until seeing Rob Bishop, of the Raspberry Pi foundation, speak at a hackspace in dc that I got rolling on the Raspberry Pi Curriculum Project and collaborating toward to RPi guide for students.

It’s been a very successful initiative, and I certainly with I has shared more of it.

THere’s been a lot less collaboration toward these open documents than I had anticipated. That’s disappointing.

I thought ahead enough to make the curricu common core savvy, but missed one thing: the states and districts would be so busy trying to realize their own versions of the common core that no one’s going to pay a bit of attention in order to authorize a new curriculum.

So, back to cisco/comptia/microsoft vendorlock, or do I acclimate them to their hacker overlords?

Police Raid School Teacher for Uploading History Book for Students

Police Raid School Teacher for Uploading History Book for Students:

world-shaker:

infoneer-pulse:

A teacher received a huge shock last week after uploading a copy of a book to his website that offers free educational resources for students. The Latvian publisher behind the work, a $4.00 history book, complained to the authorities which resulted in the teacher being raided by the police. During interrogation the teacher learned that his mistake could cost him dearly – two years in jail, forced labor, or a fine.

I’m conflicted.

I’m not conflicted.

Promoted?

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:16:00 -0400

I think I’ve been promoted.

But I have reason to suspect that in my new position, I’m an administrator, and that they’re reluctant to tell me that because of my heterarchic politics.

I no longer will be teacher upper division literature and composition, and that’s very strange. I committed my academic life to literature and my professional life to working with struggling readers and writers.

Now I’m a technology coordinator. Which is here-speak for network admin, instructional and academic technologist, sys admin, helpdesk, and head of an academic dept.

This is a good thing?

Secondary School Raspberry Pi Curriculum

Secondary School Raspberry Pi Curriculum:

planetsedge:

This has been 10-months in the works. It’s not explict maybe until the enrichment reading, but this is for a Raspi-based computing program for students writing or reading below grade level as a result of language-based learning differences.

Shoulda forked it: as Fall 2013 comes closer, I get more anxious without any district approval. So, I made it rely on a Parallel OS book so it complies with cisco’s IT 1.0 program. And I didn’t fork it first.

It’s on git and produced in rST. It’s a work in progress. Wanna collaborate? Please?

signal boost and feedback to: planetsedge.

Dear Colleagues:

Sat, 01 Jun 2013 09:42:33 -0400

What’s the nicest, kindest, most thankful thing a teacher can gift a textbook representative that goes above and beyond to help pioneer a new curriculum, with very little promise it’ll be adopted?

Education 3.0 and the Pedagogy (Andragogy, Heutagogy) of Mobile Learning

Some “light” readings for my fellow pedagogues. Here’s an excerpt:

Education 3.0 is a connectivist, heutagogical approach to teaching and learning. The teachers, learners, networks, connections, media, resources, tools create a a unique entity that has the potential to meet individual learners’, educators’, and even societal needs. Many resources for Education 3.0 are literally freely available for the taking.

I connectivist doesn’t correspond to constructivist to me. I’m thinking of Ito et al. Definitely built on constructivism, but there’s so much more.

Great graphic.

world-shaker:

7 tech tools now available in the classroom, for better or worse

An interesting list. Here are two of my favorites:

BetterLesson
The Boston-based startup BetterLesson, founded in 2008, is a social media platform that educators can use to organize and share their curricula. Last year, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded BetterLesson $3.5 million. “Considering the startup allows teachers to browse a serious repository of documents, presentations, lessons and even complete units and courses, all through a simple search interface, and upload their own lessons onto a dashboard, you can see why teachers will love this kind of resource,” TechCrunch wrote in 2011. “Add the ability to share curricula directly with international educators and receive feedback, and you’ve got yourself a goddamn deal, as Dave Chappelle would say.”

Remind101
Started by a team of two brothers, Remind101 enables students and parents to sign up to receive teachers’ text-message reminders about assignments. It’s private—these are mass texts, and teachers can’t see students’ phone numbers. It’s also one-way, meaning that teachers can send out texts, but students can’t respond to them.

Textbook Reps are Phenomenal

Raspberry Pi in US Schools? Let's be a Community

Thu, 23 May 2013 11:34:40 -0400

If you’re in a US school where students have their paws on Raspberry Pi computers - or even GNU/Linux in anyway otherwise, please let’s think about being in contact. The UK has a fantastic networked community of educators and technologists, and they’re clearly making some revolutionary progress. If the embed below works (etherpad), please add your self, your school, or other schools rumored to have RPI/linux technologies.

Please signal boost if possible.

My server is getting hammered; please do persevere.

"There used to be all sorts of criticisms of the old “culture industries” like Hollywood and the top..."

“

There used to be all sorts of criticisms of the old “culture industries” like Hollywood and the top 40, which entertained us with stories or songs that always ended on an upbeat note, no matter how false. But at least the culture industries went to the bother of entertaining us. Their replacements don’t even bother. They expect us to entertain each other, and pay a tax for it. Facebook or Google’s YouTube are not the culture industries so much as the vulture industries, taking an information surcharge from us while we amuse each other, and selling us to advertisers. Like do-it-yourself commercial TV.

These are all elements of what I call the “spectacle of disintegration”. The old spectacle of television and radio papered the world with images of what the lovely soul of the commodity was supposed to look like. We were at least still free to daydream while we sat idly watching.

But in the spectacle of disintegration, all that breaks apart. The big screen decays into so many little screens. Our leisure time is now to be spent producing information for the vulture industries of Google and co, in an unequal exchange of information. In exchange for the poll tax of personal data, we get to watch each other’s cat videos, while Google becomes some new version of the state, presiding over all our bitty lives, master of all our data, in aggregate.

Like any state, Google has its patriots. But there are also those who think this latest version of the spectacle offers some quirky avenues for having fun at its expense. Its time for a certain opacity, a certain glamour of obscurity. Not all the information we offer up has to be even remotely true.

”
