Mastery in education

__Switch__ by the Heath brothers || Allow students to select their own classes based on their own interests. for example: guitar - write music, go through standards and select the items they need and meet to see that they are proficient in their "self made class".

Appeal to emotion of the student || Inspiring to be around people on the same track with the same goal. Need to send teachers that are not 21st Century focused.

"Build a new Box" Quadrant D Shifting to Mastery Learning Grading Woodland Park classroom

__Secrets of a Buckaneer Scholar__ - Bak __The Shallows__ || Rethink grading policy and won't be weighting assignments

Advance students only when they have mastered a skill

Democratic classroom - tools available everyday for every student || Overwhelming because it was huge. Glad I used the planner and signed up for bring your own laptop sessions.

Poster Sessions - collaborative groups forming

Zotero - Great concept but memory may be a problem because it is saved on the machine. Evernote is another option

Backchanneling - likes the ability to have this be anonymous.

10 web tools for the classroom - this was geared more towards elementary. Capzles = timeline tool || Will find a resource for students to keep track of all of their resource materials when doing research.

Will look into using backchanneling in the classroom.

Use Capzles for autobiography project || Instilling a sense of purpose as motivation. We can't wait 20 years, we need to change now. Global issues and concerns need solutions so problem solving is important at all levels.
 * Karen Winfield || Art -Liberty HS ||  || ISTE

Help teachers to keep their sense of purpose as well as the students

Dealing with Creativity and 21st Century Skills - We don't necessarily need tech tools to do this. Change instruction to go with tools not using tools to change instruction. || Collaboration with students. Have students reflect and share their work. Provide feedback. Give students a different audience, not just the teacher's feedback.

Take time to stop in the middle of projects to give feedback before taking the next step. Informal feedback. ||
