Education is, first and foremost, an enterprise of sharing. In fact, sharing is the sole means by which education is effected. If an instructor is not sharing what he or she knows with students, there is no education happening.
I couldnt agree more with this quote, I do believe education is all about sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. Sharing is caring!
What are Open Education Resources (OER) you ask?
Maybe make this a link to the definition to what OER is.
through text-message reminders or remedial coaching to bolster their study skills.
I can personally say this works for me, its time to start taking advantage of the technology we have
students who come from stressful, low-income environments might have a particularly hard time developing gritty characteristics.
I can definielty see why this would be, it would be tougher to want to learn in that kind of environment
They recognize that success in school — and in life — requires much more than intelligence
FINALLY, school is not only about intelligence, especially when it comes to college. There are other qualities you will need in life to be successful.
Divers were also more likely to say they crammed for exams and more likely to score highly on measures of impatience.
This is an interesting study and i can see how it could help the study more.
gave students personality quizzes to determine which traits were correlated with college success.
I like this idea, i think it definitely will have a more positive affect then standardized tests.
Standardized test scores factor in, as does socioeconomic status.
Standardized tests don't have anything to do with college, we no longer have to do anything else like that so they shouldn't predict how a student is going to do in college.
What separated the high-achievers from the low-achievers?
Its tough to compare college students to high school, its a completely different dynamic.
$900 per year on textbooks
with everything else students have to pay for textbooks should be little to no money at all
ree sharing of educational resources with the world
I absolutely love this idea
Education is, first and foremost, an enterprise of sharing. In fact, sharing is the sole means by which education is effected. If an instructor is not sharing what he or she knows with students, there is no education happening.
I love this statement, I completely 100% agree that education is all about sharing. It reminds me about how important the internet and technology is in our day and age, and connecting through that really does help nowadays.
. Learning from actions that are going on right around you would help to advance society and make people more socially aware
I completely agree, I know i would personally benefit from something like this. I believe that we learn from experience and nowadays people aren't taking advantage of the benefits surrounding them.
The problem with focusing so much on technology in the classroom is your focusing on it to much.
I think that focusing on technology in this day in age will give students more of an advantage. It sucks that the world is so focused on technology but its something we have to adapt to and use to our advantage
Connected learning asks learners to experiment, to be hands-on, and to be active and entrepreneurial in their learning, recognizing that this is what is now needed to be successful in work and in life.
I love the concept of connected learning. I wish that it was more wide-spread
We harness the advances and innovations of our connected age to serve learning
Im happy to see that this way of learning accommodates with the day and age we live in, we grew up with technology and that should be utilized as an advantage.
Some students do not like learning with others and somefaculty find collaborating with other faculty and staff difficult.
Im glad that there are accommodations for the people who wouldnt do well in this setting.
They tend to learnand make friends at the same time. And as students spend more time together learning, theylearn more
i feel like this is a similar structure to a simple study group, isn't a study group just as affective?
Students typically enroll in a numberof linked courses and living together in a reserved part of a residence hall
how would this help? it is limiting the amount of people you will meet. I don't understand what good this would do
learning communities can be applied to any content and anygroup of students.
would this help all students or only students willing to put themselves out there?
students are asked to share both thecurriculum and the learning of the curriculum.
this reminds me of the similar ideas with an inquiry-based or problem-posing education
Theychange the manner in which students experience the curriculum and the way they are taught.
I feel like overall this would be the most successful way to help the students.
involvement matters and at no point does it mattermore than during the first year when student attachments are so tenuous and the pull of theinstitution so weak.
I agree that involvement does matter, but in the end there will be people who refuse to be involved, will they have accommodations too?
that provide clear, consistent, and easily accessibleinformation about institutional requirements, that help students understand the roadmap tocompletion, and help them understand how they use that roadmap to decide upon and achievepersonal goals.
Having someone there, or some kind of guideline definitely does help students, its easy to fall behind so its nice knowing someone has your back.
Those settings, classrooms, laboratories, residential halls, and the like, are directlyunder our control and are, if we so wish, subject to change by our actions
I don't understand what it has to do with the setting, these settings are the same at every college and all students know what they are getting themselves into.
studentattributes are largely beyond institutional control or at least beyond our capacity to substantiallyalter them in the short run
i don't believe that student attributes are out of institutional control, I don't think they are doing enough.
have not taken student retentionseriously
I agree with this statement because I don't believe they are taking this issue seriously. it should be a main priority
transferable skills and set students up for success by adapting many educational subsets to form a dynamic learning experience.
There are studies proving this statement, how come the teaching systems aren't improving? Why hasn't action been taken on this?
students would gain more from being critically engaged and applying the information that they are leaning
I completely agree, I believe students would benefit from this style of teaching.
Work in the library not in your dorm room.
This is a very good way of succeeding, its easy to get distracted while in your dorm room but the library gives the student a scholarly atmosphere to work in
While their workloads are often gigantic, their free-time periods seem so too, and it’s easy to procrastinate.
This is a very true statement, first year students don't realize how difficult it really is to manage all the free time you get.
These debates do not recognize the ways in which students have already developed rich social lives online and could use help, not punishment or paternalism
i think that in the right use social media is a great way to know whats going on in the world and meeting people who you never thought you would, social media is apart of the world and will be for a very long time.
“I wanted them to see and be aware of all of the options and the control that they are giving up when services such as Facebook are their primary web presence,”
This is a good point, people don't understand how much of the privacy they are giving up for themselves when they use social media; its something you need to realize when using such websites
The school facilitates the purchase of the domain; it helps with installation of WordPress and other open source software; it offers both technical and instructional support; and it hosts the site until graduation when domain ownership is transferred to the student.
I think this is a very good idea, it will solve a lot of privacy issues but are schools willing to spend money on this kind of issue?
much like they have little agency in education itself.
This brings up a good point, I like how the author is regarding mostly to the students and stressing the fact that we are not always in control. Its a very controversial issue.
There’s some pushback against these proposals too, with arguments that restrictions on data might hinder research or the development of learning analytics or data-driven educational software.
I completely agree and I feel as if it may have a backlash affect on the original proposal.
