View some of the videos at our table, and
Discuss the most important aspect of the book to share with the whole group at 3:50.
Whole-group Discussion:
Worked in small groups with the guidlines/steps of our process on the board.
Relationships between students and between teachers and students lead to the life-changing learning.
Keep the material something the kids can relate to.
Todd County did a video: I'm more than that
Most schools limit student social media for security and liability reasons.
What platforms would allow students to practice social media yet give teachers control to monitor and keep kids safe from the unmonitored platforms.
20% time...for students to use. (do)
80% time...for instruction (know/understand)
Write a policy to deal with this issue.
Local control.
Different for different age levels.
"Teach them to use the tools in an appropriate way up into their future."
Educators need to push the limits to help students learn what they need.
Slide-Show with Marta:
Who did the work in the classrooms you grew up learning in? Teachers or Students?
Was creativity part of the experience?
Students are doing the work, but the teacher is still the center.
Now, how do we get the students to be the center?
College, Career and Life Readiness is the current goal.
--What are the skills they need to learn from me, as a teacher?
--SLOs
*Objectives, Assessments, Activities
--South Dakota Standards
*STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & ?__)
Look at the
"Student Assessment in the School Library" on the slide-show in the learn & teaching page.
Use the "School Library Collection Development Framework" to support the school curriculum with texts that address the common core standards.
What are our perceptions about inquiry and problem-solving? It's very important for them to be ready for jobs that don't exist yet. Never reach the end...
Need to help students be able to think for themselves; what are they interested in? What do they want to learn more about? Who do they want to research? What do they want to know about that person? Where will they be able to look for information? Can they do that independently? If not, how can we get them so they can?
What mentors can students find to learn from, other than the teacher?
Every student and teacher has their own strengths and interests.
Innovation can still happen in the atmosphere of mandated requirements.
