“When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem.”

Chris Avenir

Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.

1.Learning should be hard.

2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.

3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.

i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

“If you can crack the problem of engagement –

not just ‘are you paying attention?’, but ‘

are you fascinated by this?’ – if you can crack

engagement in deep learning then you’ve cracked

“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”

“As we watch the world move to a state of near-constant

change and flux, we believe that connecting play and imagination may be the single most important step in unleashing the new culture of learning.”

Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.

Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.

“My argument is not with educational research but with the imperative of evidence-based education policy. At its best, educational research can provide important insights into the relationship between various social and cultural variables and pedagogic outcomes.”

Why evidence-based teaching methods are a bad idea.

But the principal problem educators face today is not the dearth of educational research or a lack of evidence about ‘what works’, but

rather the increasing absence of any opportunity for them to exercise professional judgment and to learn the value of what Aristotle call phronesis – the virtue of judgment.

Experimentation in education should be part of a teacher’s everyday life.

“Failure is free, high-quality research, offering direct evidence of what works and what doesn’t.

Cheap failure, valuable as it is on its own, is also a key part of a more complex advantage: the exploration

of multiple possibilities.”Clay Shirky

“Until that point in the year, I had not seen such a high level of engagement and interest from every student in my classroom. This was differentiation

and engaging learning at it’s best (for me anyways!). Students that have a tough time getting excited

about anything at school were ecstatically sharing their games and apps with classmates.

Collaboration and the desire to share and work with one another quickly emerged as each student learned something “cool” that they needed to share

with everyone, so they could use it.”

Learn Share

Speaking personally, I realized one day that without intending to I had developed a critical community around my blog, a

group of people who were willing to save me from my own lousy classroom design choices. They got better at giving criticism and I got better at receiving it. I also got better at posting the kind of rich, multimedia artifacts of classroom practice — photos, videos, handouts, etc. — that facilitated that criticism. I started to plan lessons while wondering at the same time, "What about this is gonna be worth sharing?" Lesson planning and blogging became hopelessly and wonderfully tangled up. !!!!!!
