The Open EDge: July 2013

Jul 20, 2013. Skating to where the puck is going to be" and other absurdities. Posted by Jim Klein. Am increasingly convinced that the defining experience of the 21st Century is getting steamrolled by blithe inculcations of the future. We see them everywhere; in product announcements, at trade shows and conferences, and too often (sadly) in the edtech world as an excuse to purchase our favorite toy, to choose simple over powerful, and generally spend twice as much to get half as much. Aggressive technolo...

Forward Learning: Middle School Teachers Rock!
http://forward-learning.blogspot.com/2014/11/middle-school-teachers-rock.html
Friday, November 21, 2014. Middle School Teachers Rock! I spent this week working and collaborating with the teachers from Lindero, ACStelle and AEWright! It was so much fun to introduce tools and watch the light bulbs go off as they created ways to incorporate them into lessons! I am in the process of setting up a place for us to share out these ideas from school to school so that everyone can benefit and learn from each other. The next meeting are scheduled for:. I look forward to seeing you all soon!

The Open EDge: Apple, Corporate Greed and a Culture of Ownership
http://www.jimklein.org/2012/01/apple-corporate-greed-and-culture-of_25.html
Jan 25, 2012. Apple, Corporate Greed and a Culture of Ownership. Posted by Jim Klein. Ah, yes, here we go again. Yet another corporate shill (or Schill, in this case) stands before the populus with a somber look. This must be true, right? But wait a minute - are we perhaps being sold? Are we giving Apple a pass because we love their products so? Are we giving up too much just because the solution seems so simple? Corporations don't care about you or your cause. Corporations are fundamentally monopolistic.

The Open EDge: To those who would lead...
http://www.jimklein.org/2011/05/to-those-who-would-lead.html
May 4, 2011. To those who would lead. Posted by Jim Klein. It is important to note I am absolutely not. Saying that teacher-centered, instructionally-focused technologies do not have value, just that they should not be the center, or focal point of our strategy moving forward. Instead, our focus should be on building the environment in such a way as to support the learner, and to empower the teacher to guide the learner along their path of discovery. To be able to send a message instantly. We expect.
