Bandits are very simple to understand: they’re a rubber band with a hook. This may not seem extremely compelling at first glance, but there’s actually a lot you can do with them. They can be used to hang a water bottle on your bike, your sunglasses from your car’s rearview mirror, tools on a ladder when you need to set them somewhere, and virtually anything you can think of.

Using kanban to organize and render class for three year olds!  I love how these teachers have complete control over their workflow that evolves as the school year evolves.  This is the beauty of the system. 

 

“This year I started in a new preschool class.  I taught  3 year-old students this year.  I admit I was more than a bit nervous.  After having taught 4-5 year-old students for the past 10 “years,…

When you wake up in the morning, you check your emails, probably from your phone. First thing. Yes? Why?
There’s no good answer to why.

 

So begins a very wise post about why we make everything routine.  I especiaally love how he compares blogs to slot machines.  It is an addiction and it only has to pay off once in a great while to make us return to the slots.  We need to prune out bad bets, to cut off RSS feeds that waste our time, to dump tweet partners who aren’t helping you make it through the night.  Pattern break shows us whether our workflow is useful or just habitual.  Well said.

I think we can divide up tech pedagogy into training and meta-tech.  What I mean is that one is skills based and the other is ‘learning how to learn’ based.  Here is a post by Leo Babauta about the latter.  He breaks learning (which includes tech learning) into two key lessons:

 

“1.  Almost everything I’ve learned, I didn’t learn in school; and

 2.  Almost everything my students (and kids) have learned, they learned on their own.”

 

Out of these two simple rules incredibly adaptive complexities emerge.

I love what Joel Levin is doing with Minecraft in the primary classroom.  Unfortunately, most school fight tooth and claw against the potential waste of time that could be spent preparing for the ultimate end-of-year ‘assessment’ of state-wide testing.  Learning in Levin’s classroom is emergent:

 

“In some ways, much like Minecraft, Levin’s experiment using the game in the classroom was initially just as open-ended. He says he had no clearly defined goals, although he knew that there would be lessons — both technical and social — that he could impart.

 

Most schools cannot tolerate this although they give lip service to creativity, innovation, and student-centered learning.  To allow for complexity to arise from tools like Minecraft you must ‘waste’ time.  Keep on, Joel.
