From Jolene Wahl
Chapter 1: As with most the idea that 65% of our students jobs have not even been created yet really stood out to me. It shows us that it is so important that we teach our students how to be creative and problem solvers… with out those skills it will be hard for them to adapt and succeed it a business world that we are yet to know.
The biggest take away from this though was the idea that we have to build our students motivation intrinsically instead of extrinsically.
-We need to change the way we praise students from -good job -you did so well on that assignment/test and instead say -you worked so hard -I liked how you problem solved that –Way to not give up.
Chapter 2: 20% time –How to bring it into the classroom
-Individualized learning based on interests
It will be really important to have something is place to help students develop ideas, interests, and project/questions ideas. Having a place for them to record this that interests them throughout the year will help some students and for others giving them a list of ideas to use or to spark a thought from.
Chapter 3: “Innovation most often comes from personal inquiry.” We need to figure out a way to help students learn how to use their interests to spark a desire to learn. This is going to be a building process. We aren’t going to be able to give our students this time and let them loose… We are going to have to build the skills they need as a bases and gradually release them. As the grow and develop with this new idea of learn they will be able to become more independent with their learning.
