Can they design and direct their own learning? How do we get students to the place where they can be independent learners; not just for a task but in a more sustained way?"<br /><br />I had an interesting conversation with our gifted teacher last year. We were talking about how hard it was for older students to own their learning, to push the envelope, to take things a step further, to look for multiple solutions. First graders, on the other hard, are usually more flexible in their thinking, more willing to take risks, and excited to learn. (Although I do have young first grader with fixed mindsets about learning, but they're not the majority.) I wonder what we can do to grow and maintain this autonomy in learning? What would it look like if students truly owned their learning from K-12+?<br /><br />Julie, you always keep me thinking,<br />Cathy Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-23817271738186923202013-07-04T10:06:08.071-04:002013-07-04T10:06:08.071-04:00Michelle,

It also makes me realize:<br /><br />- the significance of blogging<br />- the power in global communities<br />- that everyone can read the same thing and take very different ideas away (yet we expect kids to leave reading with the same important messages)<br />- autonomy and choice is important <br />- commenting grows a conversation <br /><br />I look forward to next week's discussion,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-20746424615509351032013-07-04T10:02:13.883-04:002013-07-04T10:02:13.883-04:00Lesa,

I think there are a lot of people who'd like to say public ed isn't working, and I don't agree with that thinking. I do think there is always room to get better.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this title,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-60515605595873863252013-07-04T10:00:20.331-04:002013-07-04T10:00:20.331-04:00Barb,

I have a stack of books I hope to read, a bunch of summer professional development opportunity pins, and many other things I'd like to accomplish before summer ends. I know it would be impossible to do it all so I just try to chip away at it a bit. <br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-73753936223821757222013-07-04T09:56:34.561-04:002013-07-04T09:56:34.561-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519338898878388762.post-70684765824272423992013-07-04T09:55:16.427-04:002013-07-04T09:55:16.427-04:00Glad I "talked you into it" again.

(However, if you decide later to write that post, let me know and I will add it.) <br /><br />When I first read about jobs I really wanted everyone to be doing all of those things in a more natural way --- with individual purpose. However, after talking with Deb (Primary Perspective) she talked about how we have some students who choose to work digitally and some that rarely choose it independently. Would jobs give them opportunities to learn more, get comfortable? Would jobs help students to see new possibilities? Hmmm, still pondering.<br /><br />I like the way you've added apps to your jobs --- and I see some I don't know. Hmmm. Deb, on her blog, had suggested a Global Communicator (twitter) and a Book Shouter (Shelfari) too: http://deb-frazier.blogspot.com.<br /><br />I think I have more to ponder....<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.com
