Dorothy Hastings replied to Scott Kinkoph's discussion A roadmap to successful tech integration"Like the concept. Education at all levels is becoming more and more computerised, so it is vital that your students don't get left behind and they should know how to use digital tools at an early stage. Use of videos and DVDs instead of…"

Scott Kinkoph posted a blog postNoise-Pedagogical Confusion
This morning I had a somewhat disheartening conversation with a good friend. We get together every week to talk about education, what we see, our point of view, and give push back on ideas. He commented that he doesn't read his Twitter stream because there is a lot of noise. Educators are repeatedly talking about the same things and the conversation isn't changed. Topics I see repeatedly are reform, government oversight, 5-100 best ways to do something, the best apps, and more. The lack of…See More
Scott Kinkoph posted a blog postGetting to a better immediate future
In my last post I reflected on a simple yet profound idea: innovation hates silos. Why? Innovation wants to break out of the mold and disrupt, to do something new, and make what was once old relevant again. There is a great deal to be learned from the past and the present for education's benefit.We can look all we want at current education practices in the U.S. and determine something has to change. This we…See More

Scott Kinkoph posted a blog postYou either get assessment or you don't
I am worried that educators miss the true meaning of assessment like missing the true meaning of Christmas.Giving a "test" isn't about devising a 50 question multiple choice, fill-in the blank, short answer, and extended response on paper using a pencil. It isn't using a bank of test questions to deliver the test online and send results to students via email. Testing isn't about having student memorize facts to regurgitate and then say that they have learned. Testing, really assessment, is…See More

Scott Kinkoph posted a blog postLecture ain't learnership
Lecture ain’t learnershipA common problem among educators is the need to be the expert at everything. Perhaps this stems from the early days of U.S. education where the teacher had to know everything, yet the educators I work with – awesome dedicated people – still have the wit about them to be experts. A person who has a focus in one area of study can be an expert. I think of scientists or doctors for instance. Many have a single focus which drives them to be expert. Teachers should be…See More

David Chiles posted a discussionWhat is a good netiquette time frame for email responses?
I think it is good netiquette to wait at least 15 minutes to reply to an email. What do you think? Is that too long? Maybe 5 minutes for professional email within your department and 15 minutes for email that are outside your department or company? 30 minutes for educational email?See More
