"I have no comment on Dr. Chubbs or the search for leadership to replace Mr. Bassett since I am not an official member of the NAIS community.
I am intrigued by the comments being made about teachers as related to both Dr. Chubb's writing (thank…"

I have been having many conversations recently with faculty and administrative leaders. The issue has come up around whether we can "force" faculty to take on technology when what they are doing…Continue

Simon Jeynes replied to Fred Bartels's discussion Any schools made the leap to using 3D printers?
"Check with University Child Development SChool in Seattle. They use a 3D printer (K-5 school) and it is AMAZING. Once you've seen it, you definitely want it.

Simon Jeynes replied to Sarah Hanawald's discussion Why Don't Students Like School? By Daniel Willingham
"Yes, I heard him by chance too. I hope that the conversation doesn't end in us or them statements. The reality, as we find talking with students constantly in schools, is that a mediocre teacher in a 40 minute period is far more preferable than…"
Simon Jeynes replied to Dean J. Fusto's discussion Final Exams- Schedules and success stories... in the group Administration
"Try not having final term exams at all. Stopping for exams is highly stressful for students, artificially creates a break in the learning process (for full year courses), and takes away the autonomy of the teacher to adjust assessment whether…"

Simon Jeynes replied to Myra Haase's discussion Education by Play in the group NAIS Teachers of the Future
"You will recall, Myra, the cutting edge schools of the 60's where play was the norm and learning was intrinsic both to development and to driving students to the point of learning. I think of Summerhill and Neil, and Summerhill's graduates…"

Blended Learning
Connect with fellow educators as we explore blended learning (combining online and face-to-face instruction with a reduction in traditional "seat time") which according to iNACOL "is likely to emerge as the predominant teaching model of the future."
Simon Jeynes replied to Sarah Hanawald's discussion Why Don't Students Like School? By Daniel Willingham
"Dear Patricia:
We are proponents of appropriate assessment (formative and summative) that meets the learning objectives of the course, the developmental needs of the students, the pedagogical intent of the school, and the school's mission.…"
Simon Jeynes replied to Sarah Hanawald's discussion Why Don't Students Like School? By Daniel Willingham
"Do we want the student as expert or the student as leader? Or does the terminology matter? There is still something odd about the idea of student as expert, although it is clear that in matters technological, a student or four is the expert in the…"
Simon Jeynes replied to Simon Jeynes's discussion Should all teachers be required to teach an online course?
"Thank you all for your fascinating additions to the discussion!!
Just 10 cents on actually taking a course - if our teachers took many of the current options out there, they would be put off for life! Interestingly, I'm not sure that it is…"
Murry Gans replied to Simon Jeynes's discussion Should all teachers be required to teach an online course?
"Simon,
Do you truly believe that any teacher want to be ineffective? Yes, I have worked with some folks who have no business in the profession, but there are some outstanding teachers out there who never use a computer. I think these folks can be…"
Murry Gans replied to Simon Jeynes's discussion Should all teachers be required to teach an online course?
"I couldn't agree more, Susan. The most effective way to get everyone on board may be for a small group of progressive teachers to blaze the path. Soon students, parents, and administrators will be asking for more and more of this and even some…"
Murry Gans replied to Simon Jeynes's discussion Should all teachers be required to teach an online course?
"I saw your post in the blended learning discussion.
I think what is most important is to discriminate between on-line classes and blended classes. I think at the high school and middle school levels, it is essential that there be face to face time…"
Brad replied to Simon Jeynes's discussion Should all teachers be required to teach an online course?
"Simon, Jim, Susan, and Fred- I think that I take a little bit of a different tact from all of you on this. I see it as a multi-step process to get teachers to be ready to teach online.
1) Having helped teachers create online courses before, I agree…"
