Year: 2013

I was pretty excited about Scott McLeod and Angela Maiers doing a video response to my question over the weekend (http://youtu.be/3H8pPTn9jK4), but there were two things that really resonated with me:

1. Role-Alike networks (rather than Job-Alike networks)
2. Choosing those who you would like to learn with

Let’s do more of both.

I have taken a bit of inspiration from my daughter’s Ski Lesson and thought about better ways to get to know learners than traditional assessments. If we watch them come down the hill and struggle with their turns, I think we get a much better picture of where they are in their progress. If we can be with them in their learning and catch them if they fall, we will be better teachers and we will change the conversation to be more about them as people than them as a score on a test.

Whenever we accept the first answers from learners, we are saying that first drafts are enough. As Luke Cowdell references, we need to be pushing one another to move beyond First Draft Ideas and collaborate with one another by using two simple words: "Say More."
