> Diana Kurka Anchorage:Hi Harry, No I am unable to hear you.
> Diana Kurka Anchorage:You can send me a private message if you need to.
> Molly Box:sit and get
> Ms. Parker:Teacher led
> Pat Jacobson:mostly lecture
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Push now for guide at the side
> MaryLynn Barnwell:The teacher with the bigger circle, is learning more. Maybe just a few students are reached.
> Susan Brass:Lecture based with mostly summative assessment.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Students aren't constructing knowledge; they are receiving it.
> Kim Johnson:scripted so teaachers don't have to use prepare and understand just do. easy for a sub to follow
> Mick Wykis (1):Compliance is rewarded
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:By it's nature, this is a "stovepipe" system. It doesn't addres real life, which is interdisciplinary
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Was sage on stage---now guide at side
> Ms. Parker:Students have more say in what happens wih their learning.
> Allison:Learner is in the driver's seat
> Molly Box:collaborative, problem solving, discussion
> Joan Walser, KSD:requires ownership and personal investment from the learner
> MaryLynn Barnwell:Learner has the larger circle. There is more overlapping.
> Pat Jacobson:certainly more interesting and engaging for student
> Susan Brass:A learning community where everyone as a role.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:We have a palace of intelligence and information in technology
> Ms. Parker:Techer is there to provide additional information but from teh sideline.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Emerging Model: Learners are more motivated; they can see a realistic outcome. The become stakeholders.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Guide
> Todd Brown - galena:all classes should be taght like vocational classes
> Harry:We all learn more when truely engaged possibly by a faciliator
> Joan Walser, KSD:Teacher has to adjust to not directing instead facilitates
> Todd Brown - galena:"taught"
> Joan Walser, KSD:Would the e-
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Todd, I'm retired Coast Guard. Our training used a five step instructional model, much like voc. teaching, I fully agree with you.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:We have a palace of intelligence and information in technology
> Joan Walser, KSD:Would the e-content be so dominant?
> Pat Jacobson:Beter yet, kids relish different kinds of technology, but it is also the way of the world and increasingly important today
> Mick Wykis (1):Authentic, relevant and up-to-date content
> Ms. Parker:We already have VTC classes and classes on computers. Not real popular with the students when all learning is computr based.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:The learner has more responsiblity and it looks like the internet will be used throughout the process.
> Joan Walser, KSD:good points
> Diana Kurka Anchorage:The Flipped classrooms look more like this model.
> Susan Brass:Many new textbooks are integrating the E-content which allows for student individual involvement. Pearson is an example.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:NYTimes article, 3-24-15, "In the Age of Information, Specializing to Survive"
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:The Internet is the repository of the world's knowledge. We all need to learn how to find information online. With students, our role is focusing their Internet knowledge searches.
> Allison:Students are a lot more comfortable with e-content and using technology then I am.
> Joan Walser, KSD:My experience is the more sophisticated the online environment our current learners and teachers have to also become sophisticated users.
> Kim Johnson:very difficult to monitor usage in large classrooms and I-safe lessons become very improtant- teaching how to use the econtent becomes a lesson in itself
> Joan Walser, KSD:Yes we do!!!!!!!!
> Susan Brass:Emerging model 2.0. As more laptops are added, we can work toward 2.0 more easily.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Our charter HS is on our way to 2.0
> Pat Jacobson:I don't have much interaction with or any first hand knowledge there, but high stakes testing weights heavily. The admin IS REALLY INTO technology but I couldn't tell you about the effectiveness of their efforts one way or the other
> Pauline B-G:Concern for how to keep teachers learning about tech/compter. In Alaska we are ahead of many places and still not enough time to learn newer systems etc.
> Molly Box:We have used E2020 learning in a few classrooms. Works well with some students - but seems like for some it is too much on a computer and not enough student interaction. Training for teachers obviously very important.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:I think that the models are similar to primary classrooms. Many intervention and teaching methods take advantage of technology.
> Kim Johnson:So much money is spent on curriculum materials they are mandated to be used. tend to have little flexibility in the use of the textooks. limits teachers
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Critical thinking...that try and try again
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Helps to fly the plane while they build it:)
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Quoting you!
> Pat Jacobson:critical thinking, be able to ask essential questions, ability to work independently and cooperatively
> Allison:People skills. Communication, cooperation...
> Kim Johnson:creativity and to think beyond what is the answer for the box, but how did I get the answer and why is it right
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:How to read for information. How to pose a search question. How to master effective organizational (not scholastic) writing. How to do statistical analysis.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:I feel social and emotional skills are vital. I feel that a child can move forward as effectively without being able to handle communication and their own problems.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Adapting
> Pauline B-G:Wearable tech will make even more difference. Human beiings have evolved, but do so slowly, so need to "move to learn".
> Todd Brown - galena:reliabilty, preparedness,positive attitude, integrity, cooperation
> MaryLynn Barnwell:No
> Molly Box:no
> Anna Marie Swoffer:No
> Susan Brass:A combination of a solid academic functional base integrated with new technological and pedagogical developments.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Yes!
> Pat Jacobson:yes, makes sense
> Anna Marie Swoffer:SHare with students too
> Todd Brown - galena:independent, adaptable, relevant
> Pat Jacobson:interdependent, visibly relevant, adaptable
> Susan Brass:transfer by design, visibly relevant, data rich
> Pauline B-G:Diverse Adaptable Interdependent
> Allison:Visibly relevant, Media-Driven, personalized
> MaryLynn Barnwell:Community, learner-Centered, Meaningful
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Learner centered, adaptable, diverse
> Kim Johnson:inquiry based, adaptable, technolgy supported
> Molly Box:relevent, personalized, transfer by design
> Mick Wykis (1):Data-rich, diverse, interdependent
> Harry:Better meets the learners needs
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Project, Problem-based; Data Rich; Diverse
> colleen castaneda:I think these components will help create a smooth transition into new paradigm.
> Molly Box:I'm losing sound off and on
> Harry:Great concept. Might require a paradigm shift by some educators
> Pat Jacobson:Technology intertwined in many
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Many in my generation frown on the ideas presented in this frame...Alaska's mindset.
> Pauline B-G:Grading for the group rather than individual might promote.
> Ms. Parker:It also requires a paradigm shift of corporations s well.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Our concept of orgsnizations and work are rapidly changing. Effective, efficient organizations are flattening. Idea capture is becoming more important.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Yes corps too
> Kim Johnson:focusing on adaptive learning through the use of different apps and web 2.0 programs to help differentiate learning for students for specific standards, standards referenced grading rather than grading each assignemnt grading the big idea
> Susan Brass:Being able to work anywhere would be a great umbrella skill which leads confidence.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:My elementary school has many "future" ideals working. We have robotics in most grades, ipads, lap tops, 3-d printer, collaboration teaching models, student leadership teams, etc/
> Mick Wykis (1):We might want to figure out how electronic devices can be used as instruments for learning assist learning and not barriers to learning
> Joan Walser, KSD:#4 is one that is under-recognized me thinks
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Item #9: Steve Jobs was reputed to be a master of focusing on an issue in the oproduct devellopment cycle.
> Pat Jacobson:9, cognitive load mgt - have students recap immediately, helping w/ retention & understanding. Help them apply knowledge to everyday situation. It must make sense regarding practicallity. Have smaller lessons, encouraging students to move forward only when fully confident they've learned current material
> Carmen Russo:Wow. We sure see this a lot here in Nome. There is a lot of unrest.
> Harry:8 makes me think of a 'think tank' where people work together to decipher what a desired outcome might be
> Anna Marie Swoffer:12.Social Intelligence and 10.Virtual Collaboration for AK students especially, given our goe locale
> MaryLynn Barnwell:#9 Really hit me. Sometimes I think testing has really kept us from discriminating and understanding at various levels.
> Pauline B-G:Yes and Alaska kids have very different experiences of the rest of the world - many dependent on fiscal status of parents. ( Some only community of origin others world travelers).
> Anna Marie Swoffer:geo*
> Todd Brown - galena:My classes constantly implement Novel and adaptive thinking especially with large fabrication projects here in the bush.
> Joan Walser, KSD:transdisciplinarity - oooh, nice new buzzzz word that I like!
> Susan Brass:Cross-Cultural Competency is becoming more important as commerce is so integrated across the globe. Many people can work at home and be in business with someone across the globe.
> Molly Box:I really like novel and adaptive thinking. Students LOVE coming up with unique ways to handle problems - might work well in a student council setting working with real problems at the school.
> Ms. Parker:#7. Using the math, science, and literacy skills used in regular classes along with the aviaiton progrm we now have. Students are asked to build an aircraft that cuuld carry a load but they need to use math, science and literacy skills to make it happen.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:#3: a great example of this is the scene in Apollo 13 where the NASA team had to redesign the CO2 filter to save the astronaughts.
> Joan Walser, KSD:this list resonates with much of the work Zhao Yong has been writing about
> Allison:#5 is one that we think we teach but it's more than just being able to read a graph.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:#5: We teach math from an academic standpoint. We don't teach students what to do with the information.
> Carmen Russo:The school would be well served when everyone has the same goals and uses similar terminology.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:I think our classroom architecture is 19th Century. We need rooms set up for collaborative groups, access to media, and media projection.
> Anna Marie Swoffer:Our school is an open forem, with teachers around perimeter of the room. Students work at their own pace, not tied to the semester, with access to technology.
> Harry:Our students need to experience issues which are relevant to the present environment where they are, as opposed to what their teachers experienced.
> Susan Brass:We need to examine a hierarchy of importance because this approach takes time and thoughtful preparation.
> Ms. Parker:Removal of separate desks, tables that bring about cooperative learning experences.
> Kim Johnson:training for teachers on how to approach teaching in this way without a "textbook" also training for parents and such on what is real learning that it is more than a letter grade or completed page number. Collaborative teaching and learning groups with in schools.
> Mick Wykis (1):40-40-40 Thinking about the near, immediate and distant future
> Pat Jacobson:more meaningful & relevant to student, change high stakes testing, while recognizing need for accountability
> Molly Box:I just keep thinking about the students and my own children who do NOT see the purpose of school or particular tasks. PURPOSE!! We as educators should always have purpose for everything we do in the classroom.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:We need access to technology, open classrooms with ability to group and communicate and we need to appreciate differences and uniqueness especially culturally.
> Joan Walser, KSD:For those of us working in rural Alaska, it might help shift the paradigm that has been handicapped by isolation. How to shift? That's the question.
> Joan Walser, KSD:We went from all the excitement of funding for bandwidth, not so this legislative session.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:Everything we do in the classroom should be focused on preparing futiure members of the work force and society. We need to gear instruction to adult life.
> Joan Walser, KSD:I agree with Rick, it's what our students also want.
> Susan Brass:World Book on line isn't too bad.
> Ms. Parker:Like the fact that you recognize the importance of the arts in school.
> Rick Currier Juneau School District:#20: Play Based Learning: Adults call that "Water Cooler" conversation and it results in a lot of great ideas.
> Pat Jacobson:Someone mentioned earlier having robotics in nearly every grade - wow! Fantastic - design-based learning, but lots of checkmarks in lots of learning areas there
> Susan Brass:I respond to the notion of story telling and free play. I am glad to hear that Europe sees the importance of free play.
> Molly Box:The one that immediately stood out to me was one-on-one learning with a teacher. With class sizes increasing and 40 minute classes this becomes such a challenge and time that is so important.
> Pauline B-G:Trying to keep up! Some of them may be important but get "left in the dust" as emphhasis given to others.
> Ms. Parker:We are bringing music back into our curriculum at all the grades.
> Allison:Amazing! Couldn't agree more. This makes it all the more interesting for the students as well as the teacher. I love the play-based learning and naturalist learning.
> MaryLynn Barnwell:I like how the overview is now being brought down to a practical list. I love recess. You can tell what children are learning in their class by how they play.
> Kim Johnson:storytelling and the skill is so improtant
> Pauline B-G:Human neurology demands that be have multisensory experiences to feed our brains.
