What did we take out of ISACS?
*The Prep School Negro – Why are we trying to protect these kids from discomfort but giving them ways to deal with it? If we avoid these discussions we’re protecting the majority.

Multiple Skill Sets & Competencies
Will Richardson – inspired to aspire to use technology to stoke my own fires and bring them into the classroom. Cool quick clicks “curator” (Jen) – then students discussing them in forums. Teacher as filter.
Honeycutt – We are teaching our kids for the future – beyond what we’re doing right now. Collaboration and teamwork. Exposure to new technologies.
Richardson – Whether you like it or not you’re teaching on the cusp of a new reality and world. You have to teach kids to adapt, be comfortable with constantly adapting, jumping.
Kawasaki – Network and pull them all together > give an answer or resources and have them create a game or figure out the steps.
Bullying Session – Quiet, subtle, passive aggression rather than the overt bully. Have your antenna up for the kid that’s a little too good to be true.
“Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child.” Fight the instinct to protect them or do things for them.
Active Learning – kinesthetic – keep kids up and moving. Brain gym exercises research (how legit is it?).
Physical movements connected with brain activity.
How do I adapt to what the kids are exposed to and how they are trained to learn? Creating chaos – building community bombarded with great ideas.
Curiosity and creativity (aspire to foster kids’ thirst). Aspire to create “controlled chaos” – flexibility and adaptability. Utilize every teacher moment.
Anne Zalone – Learn through movement. Only sit and lecture to a child for as long as their age + ten minutes (Brain Gym in LS).
Honeycutt – Interested in his blogs and twitter. Realized I need to start getting into that stuff. Be aware of what you put out there – digital citizenship. What our kids put out there online is out there.
Will Richardson – the student online portfolio – connecting kids with outside experts and “teachers.”
Games vs. the excitement – capture the gaming emotion, solving puzzles.
Jane – Reality is broken, mysteries we have to solve – take it to the next step
What does it mean for our students?
Difficult issues in literature (incest in A Thousand Acres); having meaningful difficult discussions that are productive.
Giving them the tools.
We need to define those skills. What are the important skills to have?
Access to technology - Computer labs becoming obsolete.
