My Landscape of Learning

After two weeks of volunteer teaching in Cusco, Peru I hiked up Machu Picchu. This was my view. This is my inspiration for the landscape of learning.

My Comment to a Controversial Blog Post

I read a blog post this morning that really got me thinking. I read about an educator who used to feel hopeless in the field of education. He became very negative and cynical regarding our education system today. Toward the end of the blog post I was refreshed to read that he persevered and re-instilled hope and faith, both in himself and the field of education. However, there was once particular section of the blog post that I found to be very controversial, and I realized that many educators share the author's same frustration. I decided to put a positive spin on the issue to help remind educators that we need to continue to be resilient by motivating and inspiring our colleagues, future teachers, and our students to be the best that they can possibly be, especially when times are tough! Below is an excerpt from the blog post, " Why I Continue Teaching " As the weight of proposals such as these and standardized testing crushes my innovation, imagination, and cr

4 Steps to Learn Anything in 20 Hours

Have you ever wanted to learn a new skill, but felt like you didn't have enough time? Maybe you have been wanting to learn how to play the guitar, make an app, or even build a computer. What if I told you that you could learn a new skill in only 20 hours? According to the author of The First 20 Hours , Josh Kaufman, you can learn anything ... faster than you think! As an educator, I am passionate about helping students become independent, lifelong learners. One of my goals is to help students become more "knowledge- able " by teaching them how to acquire new information and skills on their own. And after watching Josh's TED Talk - The first 20 hours , I want to share this inspiring idea with other teachers and students. In order to learn any skill in 20 hours, Josh offers a four-step process with advice from his own experience. In his TED Talk , Josh demonstrates how he learned how to play the ukulele by following his own learning process. I hope to tak

There is More than One Way to Climb a Tree

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein Students come into school each day equip with different abilities, ethnicity, backgrounds, experiences, demographics, learning styles, interests, talents, passions, strengths and weakness. How can we as educators expect all students to perform the same task, at the same level, at the same time, when all of our students are at different readiness levels? Assessment is still a problem for most public education systems in the United States. There is way too much pressure for students to perform well on state standardized tests, especially when these tests are not an accurate reflection of student potential, nor success. The excerpt below is from the Innovative Educator and I could not agree more with Lisa Nielsen on this subject matter. The "drill, kill, bubble fill" culture that is being rewarded today does no
