"If the most recent U.S. Election has taught us anything it's that we live in an era of fake news and sites. With accusations flying of manipulation of stories, the media and voters, it’s truly hard to know if what we read on blogs, social media and other sites is actually the truth or a tale spun to generate clicks. To further compound the problem a recent study from Stanford shows that the vast majority of students can’t determine it what they read on websites is true or baloney. The study showed More than two out of three middle-schoolers couldn’t see any valid reason to mistrust a post written by a bank executive arguing that young adults need more financial-planning help. And nearly four in 10 high-school students believed, based on the headline, that a photo of deformed daisies on a photo-sharing site provided strong evidence of toxic conditions near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, even though no source or location was given for the photo. With many schools and districts rolling out 1:1 initiatives and a push to digitize learning, helping students understand where their information comes from, and if it is reliable and accurate are critical skills, not just for learning for but life as well.

"The point of an education is to become literate ( a person that is able to read, write and communicate their ideas) and become productive citizens of society.

Many elementary school teachers love to teach reading and writing, but are less comfortable with science and math. It’s not a hard and fast truth, of course, but learning to read is a big focus of the early school years, so it makes sense that teachers who gravitate toward elementary school like teaching literacy. But it’s also important to expose kids to science early and get them excited about the practices that define scientific inquiry. And literature may be the perfect starting point. Stories are full of tension, conflict and dilemmas that make wonderful departure points for engineering projects that weave subjects together. Via John Evans

Infographic and discussion of the range of skills we need to help students learn as well as colleagues is helpful. I was struggling with deep focus before I read this. It was a gentle reminder to step it up in many ways.

L'avaluació de la capacitat de lectura és una tasca molt difícil. Això és perquè la lectura és molt complex. Quins són exactament els lectors fan quan llegeixen? Com entenen el que llegeixen?

In other words , can listening to audiobooks be considered reading? ..." Via Chuck Sherwood, Former Senior Associate, TeleDimensions, Inc, Leona Ungerer

Interesting article with thought-provoking comments. I believe we need to be open to all sorts of media and opportunities with our kids, to help them find the reading that works for them. |
