Find out what they really don't know. Ask them to verbalize the big idea. Ask them to explain what part they always get stuck on. Ask them if they have context.

I asked the students why they were so excited, and one turned to me and said, "This is for a town in the Philippines. We Skyped with them last week, and we found some of the same grass they have. We want to help them make ethanol. Regular gasoline is a really high cost of farming for them, and they have a lot of switchgrass."

Time Machine: Why didn't Internet on TV take off in 1983? | ITworld - 0 views
-
Interesting overview of what the Internet could have been if it'd launched in 1983. It's really interesting given that it 'talks' about what the Internet currently is... from the stand point of what the Internet could be.
-
Ever wonder what they imagined the Internet would look like, before we had it?

Cool tools for schools, shared with me by Chris Templar.

These resources tend to spring up overnight, so it's always interesting to see which ones will really be viable in the future, which one are sustainable, and which ones teachers can/or should really use in their own classrooms or professional development.

Apple Just Incentivized Every College Kid To Get An iPad. As For High Schoole... - 0 views

wow, Apple just incentivized every college student to get an iPad
-
The problem is that the cheapest iPad is still $500. What high school student is going to buy that? Basically none — their parents will have to. And that’s fine for some students, but not all. Not even a high percent, I’d imagine. In the inner-cities — again, where education is even more of an issue — it’s probably even less likely of a purchase.
-
That goes against Apple’s stated mission that students should now buy (or get via redemption code) all iBooks textbooks and keep them forever, keeping their notes, highlights, etc.

Another great article on how technology continues to change how education is done. While the product specific in iPads may not be around for ever, generationally, it may be what provides the type of revolution in a watershed way, that helps transform education the way that mass production of books did with Gutenberg.

Every year, our failure rates have been through the roof.

To watch this happen every day, where it is your responsibility to try to provide the very best you can for the students, is beyond frustrating. It’s heartbreaking.

Great description of how things work when we look at how we're doing things and decide to completely change and challenge the model of instruction that's been widely used and accepted for so long. Idea for class instruction: have students ID the various ways in which this particular article helps to address the ISTE NETS-T standards.
