TeachPaperless: We Have a Negative Space Problem
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2012/05/we-have-negative-space-problem.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. We Have a Negative Space Problem. In terms of social media, I spend the most amount of time on Twitter and the least amount of time on Facebook. On some level, it's the culture of each "place." Plus is great, but I haven't found a way to "fit in" yet - despite having an account and posting from day one. Meanwhile, Facebook is the place where I meet folks from high school. When I think of instruction, it's crammed with positive space. No reflection. No wandering. No negat...In teache...

TeachPaperless: Student-led Final Review
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2012/05/student-led-final-review.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. By Noah Geisel ( @SenorG. That the student ownership creates buy-in and interest in what we are doing. One of the ways that you can demonstrate your own understanding of learning is to be able to show it or teach it to another student. To that end, you will help others study for the final exam (and they will help you) by creating a review activity or game. We will dedicate block day and Friday to preparing for the final exam by using YOUR review activities. 4 This site is a gold min...

TeachPaperless: Back to School: Ideas for Twitter in the Foreign Language Classroom
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2010/01/back-to-school-ideas-for-twitter-in.html
Monday, January 04, 2010. Back to School: Ideas for Twitter in the Foreign Language Classroom. The first day back after break was tricky. In addition to my Fine Arts classes, I'm teaching three Latin courses. They are whole-year courses and the Mid-Terms in each tend to be somewhat memorization-intensive. And so, I've tried to break things up a bit. It's just the nature of the beast. 2 Using Twitter as a 'lifeline' for translation exercises: Each student opens up the text, the Twitter feed, and a digital...

TeachPaperless: Question of the Day: On Mission Statements
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2012/04/question-of-day-on-mission-statements.html
Tuesday, April 03, 2012. Question of the Day: On Mission Statements. This one came up yesterday during #EdInnoMeetup - a new quarterly gathering of edu thinkers in Baltimore: "Is your school's mission statement relevant to your students' online communities of practice and social influence? In my experience, school mission statements do a good job of telling us what influence the school will have over the student, but not vice-versa. Thoughts?

TeachPaperless: How Did School Do?
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2012/04/how-did-school-do.html
Tuesday, April 03, 2012. How Did School Do? By Sean Wheeler and Ken Kozar. Learning comes more from asking questions than it does from answering them. Perhaps it’s time that we begin to explore a different path. A month or so ago, the team of teachers we work with came up with an interesting idea based on a post that Shelly Blake-Plock had written entitled, “. If School Is Not Relevant. In an age of massively networked communication and virtually unlimited access to information, it seems like our educati...

TeachPaperless: We Can't Define Social Media
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2012/04/we-cant-define-social-media.html
Saturday, April 14, 2012. We Can't Define Social Media. By John T. Spencer. Educators clamor for open access to social media in schools. We (including me) write about the need to teach digital citizenship to the digital natives. And yet . . . how do we even define social media? I witnessed many metaphors yesterday and each one of them seemed to suggest that we are attempting to find things in our physical world in order to make sense out of the digital. Should we view social media as a public location?
