Creativity and Design

I have been reading and thinking about how significant creativity is in education. I stumbled upon Ewan McIntosh’s blog on March 12th, Design Thinking: not just for Design and Technology class. http://edu.blogs.com/

A Great Opportunity for KCCL Professionals

During our KCCL Protocol session, we were able to collaborate on a very important topic which all educators must come to grips with in the 21st century, the topic being "How to meet the needs of all learners."  The collective wisdom of the master teachers in the group provided many answers to the presenter's challenge.  The outcome was beneficial for the presenter.

Challenge Based Learning

SAS and SJV teachers conducted a protocol session which addressed a facet of Challenge Based Learning presented by the middle school science teacher at SAS. Marcia asked for input in finding new topics that can be developed into units for science that will serve a genuine purpose in the wider community. It is difficult to find topics that involve real world community issues with science content that can be presented, addressed, and concluded within several months of an academic year. …

Some Resources from BLC11

One of our study groups went to Alan November's BLC11 July 2011. The keynotes and breakouts were all universally excellent, but two of my (Mark Hines) favorites were Eric Mazur's keynote on Peer Learning and Rob Evans' Keynote on understanding the challenge of change in schools. Both have recently been posted for public viewing and are embedded below. I highly encourage you to watch and enjoy!

Grant Possibility - Next Generation Learning Challenge

Here is an interesting grant possibility to design a module for middle school students to improve their ability to successfully learn core content standards. Information about the script is here: http://nextgenlearning.org/

they do give two examples of the kind of projects they are looking for:
 A modularized online course of study that may be composed and sequenced with a variety of other materials and deployed in a variety of learning environments. Note: there is not an expectation that an entire year-long course of study be completed.
 An online, collaborative environment in which students are asked to practice and show mastery of literacy Common Core Standards within the context of solving biology problems.
