Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Ohio's economic recovery has hit another stumbling block with the latest jobs report.
"This is not surprising, but it's disappointing none the less. It shows the recovery has slowed," says Ben Johnson from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
The July jobless report shows an unemployment rate of 9 percent. That's two-tenths of a percent higher than June and up from 8.6 percent in May.
"I wouldn't say that it changes our overall outlook," Johnson says. "We still feel like when we take the long view, the economy in Ohio will continue to improve. But that improvement certainly has slowed this summer."
Tourism industries saw the most job losses last month, along with services jobs, education and health care. Manufacturing gained the most jobs.

NAPA's Diamond Achievement Commendation specifies knowledge of recycled materials use.
The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), Lanham, Md., has announced that asphalt plants earning its Diamond Achievement Commendation now have an option to pursue a Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation.
The expanded commendation requires plant operators to understand the use of recycled materials, to quantify and control energy use and emissions, and to articulate a corporate sustainability plan. NAPA says these steps are part of the process of assessing "the social, economic and environmental efforts of an asphalt production facility to gauge how well it puts the principles of sustainability and community engagement into action."
NAPA's Diamond Achievement program was created in 1999 to recognize asphalt plants that met or exceeded national best practices for operations, environmental practices, safety, permitting and regulatory compliance and community relations.
"The Diamond Commendation program encourages continuous improvement," says Bill Ensor, NAPA chairman. "It is a way for asphalt plants to benchmark their operations, and it provides a blueprint for how to improve them. With the Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation, plants that are already good, conscientious operations will have new guidelines to make their facility an even better neighbor."
In addition to recycling, emissions and energy, the new commendation also covers issues ranging from noise and light pollution to volunteer programs. Plants must first qualify for a Diamond Achievement Commendation before seeking the new commendation.
The 2014 Diamond Commendation will begin accepting applications, including its new Diamond Achievement Sustainable Commendation, on April 1, 2014.

My Reviews & Blog
on War Ensemble05.13.10 9:58pm — cdnsoldier
This song is the song that got me listening to Slayer. Seasons In The Abyss was the first Slayer album I ever bought. Now I own Christ Illusion, Got Hates Us All, Decade of Aggression and War at the Warfield on video. I will continue to buy Slayer albums. I own lots of music, but for some reason, for the longest time, Slayer takes precidence in my truck's CD player. Whenever I'm feeling angry, I just crank up the poetry that is Slayer and, believe it or not, it soothes me.

A great Tahoe retreat
We rented the home for 2 families plus 3 dogs. Everyone loves it, including the dogs. I don't need to talk about the house, because you can see it on the pictures. I am most impressed by the generosity and hospitality of the owners. Most other vacation homes, no matter how nice they are, you can feel it is just a rental. This one is different. Walt and Terri give you the best. There are no yellow old towels or dented cook ware. Everything is just like the ones we have at home. My wife is very pleased with supplies in the kitchen, There is almost nothing you need to bring from home. It is just like home. We really had a wonderful time. Thanks. Albert

9-28-2005 - 10-3-2005 We traveled 1800 miles for a small family wedding and never felt more at home. The pool table, ping pong table and Jacuzzi were more than enough to keep our 3 teenagers occupied. The views wer exquisite. The people were friendly and the weather was beautiful. We all enjoyed our time here tremendously. Hope to return again soon. Your Hurricane Rita evacs.

Action Alert: Help End Ohio's Estate Tax, call or e-mail your lawmakers today
On average, 84 percent of farm assets are land, machinery, and equipment. Burdensome estate taxes can cause the loss or break-up of family farms when heirs are forced to sell assets to pay the tax and/or administrative costs.
Elimination of the state estate tax, coupled with significant federal estate tax reforms, will allow additional generations to keep their land in farming, strengthen the rural economy and preserve Ohios agricultural heritage.
Take action now to call or e-mail your state legislators via Ohio Farm Bureau's on-line Legislative Action Center.
Read an Ohio Farm Bureau statement on the estate tax.
Look up your legislators' contact information by visiting the Ohio House of Representatives and Ohio Senate on-line directories.

what a beautiful story of loyalty, friendship, and co-operation. A lovely and inspiring tale, told in a gentle way to encourage these qualities in children. Wouldn't this be a great film to show and discuss in the classroom!
great animation..flying scenes are terrific..some characters hard to understand, esp for children. my ten year old liked it a lot--was heroic without being too tragic--so many recent movies cause too many tears for him to enjoy--but this one had no tearful emotional upset.
This film reminded me of "Rio". Gorgeous animations!

William J. Barber II amd Tim Tyson: McCrory's Intellectual Dead Endtags: education reform, North Carolina, Pat McCrory, liberal arts, William J. Barber II, Tim Tyson
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II is president and Dr. Tim Tyson is education chair of the N.C. State Conference of NAACP Branches.
..."You got to throw the corn down where the hogs can get to it," Georgia race-baiter Gov. Eugene Talmadge used to crow. In much the same spirit, North Carolina's new governor appeared on William Bennett's nationally-syndicated radio program last week and sneered at the UNC system for "offering courses that have no chance of getting people jobs."
Bennett seems an odd assistant to help McCrory toss those stale hushpuppies to the tea party. The former secretary of education usually bemoans the failure of today's youth to read Aristotle. The author of "The Book of Virtues" admits to losing something like $10 million in the casinos and he once speculated that even though it would be wrong for America to abort all African American babies, "the crime rate would go down."
McCrory keeps poor company but he had facts, even if he didn't understand them. Yes, only six percent of UNC's undergrad majors offer hope of immediate employment in that field. Fifty years ago, the figure would have been smaller; in those days, Americans respected college degrees but did not expect them to change a tire. If the only measure of a B.A. is a j-o-b, somebody has to tell the kids to burn the Bible, mulch Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" along with Shakespeare and Virginia Woolf, and offer choice of three majors – sweet tea, cornbread or biscuit....

He would be happy going every 10 years. But. We got our first ever pin code in the mail yesterday and I really hate to see it go to waste. I would fly from Detroit to Orlando and take the Magical Express to/from the resort, and I would want to stay at Port Orleans Riverside (have stayed there twice before and love it!) but as a woman traveling alone I'm a bit nervous. I would love to hear from other adult solo women. Please tell me where you stayed and what your experience was like. I would probably stay for a week, flying down on a Sunday and going back home the following Sunday, so that I could really enjoy all of the parks and the resort.

Carlotta has a beautiful two bedroom flat in Islington. I booked the house for a week stay in January with my partner and his sister. We were greeted by Donna who showed us in and made us feel welcome. We were advised that there was a problem with the bathroom and a plumber would be around on our first night to fix the problem. This happened and we had good communication with Carlotta about this. However later in the stay there were severe issues with the bathroom and flooding of the flat below. Carlotta kindly offered us an additional nights stay but we requested a partial refund due to the inconvenience. Carlotta kindly obliged and was great at communicating with us. This is a great flat and as long as the plumbing issues have been sorted I would recommend it.
Ho soggiornato a casa di Carlotta con il mio fidanzato e un'altra coppia di amici. Carlotta non era a Londra, ma Donna, incaricata della nostra accoglienza, è stata molto disponibile. L'appartamento è esattamente come descritto nell'annuncio, davvero ben arredato e pulito. Unico neo, il bagno: la doccia non funziona molto bene e anche il wc avrebbe bisogno di essere sistemato.
La zona è molto tranquilla e comodissima per visitare la città.
Nell'insieme, l'esperienza a casa di Carlotta è stata molto positiva!
Carlotta had things nicely set up for us with clear instructions. The apartment was beautifully clean and looked a little better than it did in the pictures, especially the smaller bedroom. I thought it would be tiny from the photos, but it was not. The kitchen had gas appliances and was great to cook in. The shower was hard to use, but aside from that, there is nothing to fault here. The location is close to the tube and Holloway Road, with plenty of dining, grocery stores, and other necessities nearby. It was a very nice place.
We didn't get to meet Carlotta who was travelling, but her maid Donna was lovely and extremely helpful. Her flat was as advertised, simple but very comfortable and only about 5 mins walk from a bus stop, which is very well connected. An excellent choice for anyone who wants to be close to Camden/Islington.
Carlotta's home was absolutely lovely and perfect for our guests' stay. It's in a central location and is equipped with all necessary amenities. I didn't get to meet Carlotta, but her housekeeper was lovely and very helpful. I would recommend!
A great, cosy little flat on a quiet street in Islington. It's only 5-10 min walk away from Caledonian Road Tube Station (which is 1 stop away from King's Cross) and it's also near handy bus stops. I would not recommend bringing a car as parking is nigh on impossible, although that's almost a given for this part of London! I was studying for the week, and it was always nice to return here at the end of the day. I didn't meet Carlotta but she is very quick to reply and is very helpful, her rep Donna met me on the first day and showed me around the house and gave me info about the surrounding area. It's also near a Morrisons and Waitrose so you can easily stock up on food for the week. Would definitely recommend this flat.
The flat was fantastic - really like being at home! Donna met me on check-in and was super, efficient and friendly. The flat was comfortable, a ten minute walk (or less) from the tube and was in a nice neighbourhood. We were two colleagues staying together, so it was great to have two proper beds. I would definitely try to stay there again!
Donna who checked us in was very nice, kind and helpful. The description was quite accurate, but the website pictures are so beautiful and professional, we might had our expectations a tiny bit too high :) The apartment is beautiful and cozy, everything was clean, the beds were really comfortable, the kitchen was great and fully equipped- we had an amazing breakfast every morning, and all and all the value for money here is excellent.
The main down point was the bathroom, which was beautiful and clean indeed, but a bit challenging to operate, especially for the older one among us (it was also difficult for her to climb in...). If you are young you will not mind this at all.
In addition, we were a bit disappointed with the surroundings- it is very quiet (though safe and nice) and the Tube station was a 10 min walk for us (we walk slowly) so we couldn't just hop somewhere and back to eat/ drink/ travel. Again- if you are young, and don't mind walking a bit, it's probably a perfect location for you with all the buses and of course the Tube.
Other than that- everything was lovely and I would definitely recommend staying here!
We had a lovely stay at carlotta's place in islington. The home was perfect for three of us and it was great to be in such a peaceful street but so close to the action in London. The location is perfect for the tube and buses all over the city. The lady who met us at the house was incredibly helpful and the house was lovely and clean. Would recommend to friends.
Carlotta was very responsive and communication was very easy and straight forward. The location was ideal for us since it was near to where we were having a conference.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Carlotta but my staff said she was a pleasure to host, conscious and they would all love to see her back again.
Carlotta and her group were great. Recommend
Carlotta, was lovely to work with from the start. A communicative and responsive guest, it was nice to have conversations with her as she was planning her trip.
My space with absolutely spotless after she left, maybe even in better condition than I had left it ?
I would absolutely welcome Carlotta again to my space : )
It was so wonderful to meet Carlotta. She is a sensitive and soulful woman and I found both her and our conversations very inspiring. She was the perfect guest and I hope to stay in touch with her!
Carlotta was amazing! She was doing a film on sound healing and invited me to a very special event. She actually recorded a friend of mine here at the house, and that was very special for me and my friend. she was only here three days, but I am sure she will ber back, and I am sure she will stay with me!

Learning Needs a Context
This is a follow up to a post I wrote, How Do We Learn? How Should We Learn? The purpose of these posts is to encourage educators to examine practices they take for granted, implement without deep reflection of their efficacy. This post discusses the instructional practice of asking students to memorize information.
How often have students (ourselves included) been asked to memorize mass amounts of facts – historical dates, vocabulary words, science facts, get tested on them, just to forget almost all those memorized facts a week or two later? Given that is this learning experience is more common than not, why do educators insist on continuing this archaic and ineffective instructional practice?
To learn it in isolation is like learning the sentence "Hamlet kills Claudius" without the faintest idea of who either gentleman is–or, for what matter, of what "kill" means. Memorization is a frontage road: It runs parallel to the best parts of learning, never intersecting. It's a detour around all the action, a way of knowing without learning, of answering without understanding. (When Memorization Gets in the Way of Learning)
The more closely we inspect this model of teaching and testing, the more problematic it reveals itself to be. First, there's the question of what students are made to learn, which often is more oriented to factual material than to a deep understanding of ideas. Second, there's the question of how students are taught, with a focus on passive absorption: listening to lectures, reading summaries in textbooks, and rehearsing material immediately before being required to cough it back up. Third, there's the question of why a student has learned something: Knowledge is less likely to be retained if it has been acquired so that one will perform well on a test, as opposed to learning in the context of pursuing projects and solving problems that are personally meaningful. (Alfie Kohn)
The visual image I use to describe this is that there are all of these unconnected facts floating around in the learner's brain. Since they have nothing to connect to, they end up flying away. This is especially true for abstract concepts.
Memorizing facts often means a waste of students' time and energy. In some cases, too many cases, learners lose their passion and excitement for a subject or topic that, if taught in another way, may have not been the case.
The Need for Context
Learning facts and knowledge about a content area topic is an important prerequisite to understanding that topic and then developing expertise. The key to this understanding is providing a context for the facts. The context becomes the glue to increase the stickiness, the longevity of long term memory of those facts. This is especially true for abstract concepts. These concepts need something concrete with which to attach.
Lave and Wenger (1991) argue that learning should not be viewed as simply the transmission of abstract and decontextualised knowledge from one individual to another, but a social process whereby knowledge is co-constructed; they suggest that such learning is situated in a specific context and embedded within a particular social and physical environment. (Situated Learning)
Increasing Context and Relevancy
Authentic learning can be the driving force for increasing context and relevancy. Jan Herrington describes authentic learning along two axes – the authenticity of the task is on one axis (from authentic to decontextualised), and the setting is on the other (the classroom/university to the real setting). The goal of educators should be to increase authenticity which leads to more contextual learning (and vice versa).
The following are some suggestions for establishing context (the list is just a start). Ironically, they are practices that are often recommended are best practices in teaching but they aren't implement as often as they should be:
- Assess and Connect to Learners' Real Life and Previous Experiences with the Topic – see http://ideaedu.org/research-and-papers/pod-idea-notes-instruction/idea-item-11-related-course-material-real-life
- Use Hands-On and Experiential Activities – see http://www.raft.net/case-for-hands-on-learning
- Use Case Studies and Simulations – see https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/designteach/teach/instructionalstrategies/casestudies.html
- Have Learners Engage with Real World Practitioners – see http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/52279118#52279118
- Implement Place-Based Learning – see http://www.ourcurriculummatters.com/What-is-place-based-education.php
The bottom line is that regardless of the content area, students deserve educations that have self-perceived authenticity, relevancy, and a context that makes sense.
How Do We Learn? How Should We Learn?
If I ask you or your students, "How do you learn," how many of you could clearly articulate this process? If you can, are the strategies you're using the best ones for learning? Furthermore, if the research on the process of learning is compared to the practices being implemented in school, does this research influence school practices?
During my school years, I noticed there was a problem with how I was being asked to learn. Cramming and memorizing information, being tested for mastery prior to having enough practice time, having units of study with supposedly beginnings and endings, and learning facts with no context were counterproductive and at times, painful to me.
The unintended consequences of these artificial and unnatural ways of learning include believing that learning is or should be difficult, painful, disciplined, and not fun. This, too often, results in learners believing that they cannot or do not want to learn new things especially in those areas where and when learning was painful. I believe learning can or should be natural, fun, engaging.
Benedict Carey informs us that "most of our instincts about learning are misplaced, incomplete, or flat wrong" and "rooted more in superstition than in science." That's a disconcerting message, and hard to believe at first. But it's also unexpectedly liberating, because Carey further explains that many things we think of as detractors from learning — like forgetting, distractions, interruptions or sleeping rather than hitting the books — aren't necessarily bad after all. They can actually work in your favor, according to a body of research that offers surprising insights and simple, doable strategies for learning more effectively. (http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/08/how-does-the-brain-learn-best-smart-studying-strategies/)
Instead of making assumptions about the best and most natural learning strategies, it is best to research and study this process. "Unfortunately, most people, educators included, are unaware of the lessons from the science of learning" (http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/08/how-does-the-brain-learn-best-smart-studying-strategies/).
What follows are some of those strategies that research has indicated are some of the better ones. It obviously is not extensive nor inclusive of all possible learning strategies, but it is a good start to reflect on how educators ask students to learn.
Productive Failure
We've heard a lot lately about the benefits of experiencing and overcoming failure. One way to get these benefits is to set things up so that you're sure to fail—by tackling a difficult problem without any instruction or assistance. Manu Kapur, a researcher at the Learning Sciences Lab at the National Institute of Education of Singapore, has reported that people who try solving math problems in this way don't come up with the right answer—but they do generate a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like, leading them to perform better on such problems in the future. Kapur calls this "productive failure," and you can implement it in your own learning by allowing yourself to struggle with a problem for a while before seeking help or information. (http://lifehacker.com/the-science-behind-how-we-learn-new-skills-908488422)
Spaced-Out Practice
When we're picking up a new skill or learning something entirely new, it's easy to binge-learn and obsessively work on it over time. However, that's not always the best idea. In fact, spreading out learning, also known as distributed practice, is thought to be a better way to learn. A review of studies in Psychological Science in the Public Interest found that spreading out learning is far more effective than cramming. Distributed practice is an old technique, but it actually works really well for the busy lives most of us lead. Instead of sitting down for hours on end to learn a skill, distributed practice is all about shorter, smaller sessions where you're stimulating the link between the neurons more often throughout time. (http://lifehacker.com/the-science-behind-how-we-learn-new-skills-908488422)
Breaking up and spacing out study time over days or weeks can substantially boost how much of the material students retain, and for longer, compared to lumping everything into a single, nose-to-the-grindstone session. (http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/08/how-does-the-brain-learn-best-smart-studying-strategies/)
Take Breaks to Allow for Incubation
There's a whole bunch of science looking at problem-solving. In problem-solving, when you get stuck, you've run out of ideas, distraction is really your best friend. You need to stand up, let it go — walk around the block, go to the cafe, drink a beer, whatever it is — and that is really your best shot at loosening the gears a little bit and allowing yourself to take a different and more creative approach to the problem. (http://www.npr.org/2014/08/23/342219405/studying-take-a-break-and-embrace-your-distractions)
A 15-minute break to go for a walk or trawl on social media isn't necessarily wasteful procrastination. Distractions and interruptions can allow for mental "incubation" and flashes of insight — but only if you've been working at a problem for a while and get stuck, according to a 2009 research meta-analysis. (http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2014/08/how-does-the-brain-learn-best-smart-studying-strategies/)
Try Alternate and More Fun Ways of Learning Before Giving Up on Something New
When trying to learn something new, you can easily get burned out and feel defeated if the subject is taught by rote. The problem was the way the books "dragged [him] through a series of structured principles" lifelessly. This is not to say that learning through books is bad (not all books are terrible) or that all classes are like this. If you find yourself, though, thinking of giving up on a subject you really want to learn because you're struggling with it, consider how you're learning or being taught. Try to find a way to learn through play (http://lifehacker.com/5810326/try-alternate-and-more-fun-ways-of-learning-before-giving-up-on-learning-something-new)
Apply New Learning Often and in Meaningful Contexts
The more you can apply what you're learning to your every day, the more it'll stick in your head. The reason is simple. When you're learning by doing, you're implementing everything that makes our memory work. When you're able to connect what you're learning with a real world task, that forms the bonds in your brain, and subsequently the skills you're learning will stick around.
We learn best when we have context, and that applies to new skills as much as it does random facts in school. That's why something like the transfer of learning is helpful when your learning a new skill. This means you're applying your new skills in your day to day life in a context that matters. (http://lifehacker.com/the-science-behind-how-we-learn-new-skills-908488422)
Questions to Help Guide Learning:
- Is failure viewed as normal and as a productive part of the learning process?
- Is learning spaced out over time rather than crammed into a short time period?
- Are distractions during learning normalized?
- Is the learning practiced often and in a variety of contexts?
- Is learning playful and fun? This is especially important when 0ne gets "stuck" at an impasse.
Maker Education Activities
This coming summer I am getting the opportunity to teach a maker education camp for three weeks, half-days at a local elementary school. The descriptions for the three one-week workshops are:
- Circuit Crafts: Build glowing, sensing, and interactive circuit projects; make electronic stickers, circuit sketchbooks, circuit cards, and sewn circuits.
- Sweet Robotics: Make simple robotics using Popsicle sticks and LED lights; play with and build some robots with Makey Makey, littleBits, Hummingbird, and Modular Robotics.
- Toy Hacking: Take apart simple electronic toys to see how they work & then put them back together again creating a new toy; make an operation game.
I created a website in order to aggregate possible activities, resources, and tutorials; and as a means to promote the workshops to parents, so they can see examples projects that the kids will be working on. Below is a link to my website.
Educator as Lead Learner: Learning LittleBits
I have discussed educators as model learners before:
The educator's role has or should change in this age of information abundance or Education 2.0-3.0. The educator's role has always been to model and demonstrate effective learning, but somewhere along the line, the major role of the educator became that of content and knowledge disseminator. Now that in this information age content is freely and abundantly available, it is more important than ever to assist learners in the process of how to learn. (Educator as Model Learner)
I advocate for the educator, as leader learner, to demonstrate the process of learning:
To effectively do so, though, the educator needs to understand and be able to articulate and demonstrate the process of learning, him or herself. It is a mistaken assumption that educators know how to do so. The learning process can be made overt through recording and clearly articulating the steps, procedures, and/or strategies for doing so. (Educators as Lead Learners)
To learn and model this process, I recommend that educators pick something new to learn and practice doing the following: I am teaching at a maker education camp this summer and want to integrate LittleBits into my curriculum. As such, I am learning how they work. In order to model my process as lead learner, I noted how I am learning how to use Littlebits. I will ask the older kids to do a similar process and will have them explore my documentation to get an idea how to do this.
Note My Steps to the Learning Process
Why I Became Interested As a avid user of Twitter, I have a column for tweets hashtagged as #makered. LittleBits come up often. I have been watching how they evolved over the past year or so; and how they support and are being used by educators. Purchasing and Examining LittleBits LittleBits has several kits. I looked them over online and decided to purchase two kits: The Basic and the Arduino Coding Kit. I examined both sets to insure I was getting different LittleBits with the two kits. Since I am a consumer shopper, I found both these sets via eBay – new for about half of the original cost – score!
How I Am Learning
As many of us do in this century of learning, I go online to find tutorials. I am using the following resources to help me get acquainted
- http://littlebits.cc/tips-tricks/getting-to-know-the-base-premium-deluxe-kits
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6USwUexyXBg#t=59
I try a few of the simple projects to learn about the functions of the different Littlebits. I then read over the projects offered in the manual. I mentally picture building them. Because I knew I could easily build the beginning ones, I skip to the last project in the manual – the Three-Wheeler and also view it online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niEsF4jeXU0. I have a belief that maker education is not about copying what has been already created. As such, I think about how I wanted to adapt the projects.
I conceptualize an adaptation of the three-wheeler as a cat toy/feeder. I come up with a mental picture of the cat toy-feeder. I would be using the light light sensor and bar graph to activate the toy when the sun comes up in the morning. Once activated due to the sun, the engine would move and the LED in the feathered tail would light up. The moving device with the trailing feathers and LED would encourage my cat to chase it, hence getting a little exercise prior to catching the reward of her cat food situated on the truck bed. Her body would cover the light sensor causing it to stop and giving her a chance to eat (photos can be found at the end of this post).
I have a bunch of Legos and tinker toys that I use when teaching and bring these out to help me build. Combining the Legos with Littlebits makes sense but connecting them takes some work with the use of tape. I guess LittleBits figured this out because I went online and found the brick adapter: http://littlebits.cc/accessories/brick-adapter. Because I have so many parts which includes LittleBits, Legos, Tinker Toys – some on the top and some on the bottom, I have to manipulate and play with different configurations to get everything to fit together and work correctly.
Thinking About My Thinking
Some of the thoughts I had during the building of this project:
- I love that I can jump on the internet and immediate get tutorials and example projects that others have done.
- I like the car project and believe the kids will like this, too, but I want to create my own version rather than following the directions as written.
- I have all of these building supplies from teaching – Legos, Tinker Toys, Pico Cricket. I can go find those to use with the LittleBits in order to complete my own design.
- How silly it is that I am an older woman "playing" with Legos. I need to let go of this thought.
- I figured some things out but dropping the little pieces a lot frustrated me. I decided to put it away and start again tomorrow morning.
- I feel a sense of accomplishment figuring out how to "fix" things so they work better.
- I think that being a ceramics potter and teaching EdTech has made me a better problem solver.
- I used the LittleBits motor to make it move, how can I use some of the other LittleBits to embellish it – add more features?
- I like combining the Littlebits with Legos but they are a little unruly. I have to "MacGyver" them together. This is making the project a lot more difficult.
- I know that letting ideas float around in my mind for a while often yields results, so after thinking about how I might adapt it, I came up with a cat feeder and toy.
- I know that I can successfully visualize art projects without needing to sketch them out. I know this is not true for everyone.
- It is taking a lot more time than expected – hopefully my hard work will pay off.
- Not having the right tools (e.g., not have the brick connectors) can be very frustrating.
- I don't like how all of the electrical tape is showing so I'll cover the top of the Lego plate. It will also serve to create a surface that will more easily clean off the cat food.
- Yea – it works. I am laughing and clapping at the whimsical nature of this project.
The maker movement is driven by the DIY movement, creating and recreating new "things." At its core, then, making is about experimentation, about trial and error, about trying things out to see what works and what doesn't. As such, failure is seen as iteration. Part of being a lead learner, of understanding and documenting the learning process is recording the iterations of the project. I engaged in a lot of experimentation but had basically two iterations. I believe I would have had more but due to some experience with robotics, I had a good idea of what would work – not work.
1st Iteration
- Had wheel extended too far back – couldn't mount the motor.
- Front wheels bumping into base – needed to add spacers.
- The single back wheel didn't work with a Lego wheel; too long of a motor stem made the wheel off centered and with the weight of the motor it fell to one side.
2nd Iteration
The second iteration was actually the final one but it took a lot of manipulating the back wheel and motor to get them to stay put.
I worked on this project over two days. I feel successful in a number of ways:
- Because I have done some simple robotics (Pico Crickets), ith my students before, I found that this background, helped me understand the functions of many of the Littlebits. It felt good to be able to quickly understand how Littlebits functioned.
- I am proud of the final project in terms of function but not so much in form. I don't like all the tape I used and the wheel is a bit precariously connected. Maybe I'll buy to brick connectors at some point.
- I was very excited about the final project. It worked as I conceptualized and my cat enjoyed it, too!
Educators as Lead Learners
I have discussed educators as model learners before:
The educator's role has or should change in this age of information abundance or Education 2.0-3.0. The educator's role has always been to model and demonstrate effective learning, but somewhere along the line, the major role of the educator became that of content and knowledge disseminator. Now that in this information age content is freely and abundantly available, it is more important than ever to assist learners in the process of how to learn. (Educator as Model Learner)
The goal of this post is to encourage educators not only to adopt the mindset of the educator as a lead learner but also to model, demonstrate, and teach his/her learners the process of learning how to learn new "things".
In our schools, "the emphasis is on what students need to learn, whereas little emphasis—if any—is placed on training students how they should go about learning the content and what skills will promote efficient studying to support robust learning," writes John Dunlosky, professor of psychology at Kent State University in Ohio. However, he continues, "teaching students how to learn is as important as teaching them content, because acquiring both the right learning strategies and background knowledge is important—if not essential—for promoting lifelong learning." (Smart Strategies That Help Students Learn How to Learn)
To effectively do so, though, the educator needs to understand and be able to articulate and demonstrate the process of learning, him or herself. It is a mistaken assumption that educators know how to do so. The learning process can be made overt through recording and clearly articulating the steps, procedures, and/or strategies for doing so. To learn and model this process, I recommend that educators pick something new to learn and practice doing the following:
- Explicitly state and record the metacognitive process while learning.
- Demonstrate and articulate the actual steps of learning.
- Record the stages of artifact development.
- Understand and embrace the iterative process of learning.
- Use and demonstrate the self-evaluative reflection process.
Deep Understanding of Metacognitive Processes The educator should be familiar with and able to demonstrate metacognitive processes. "The most effective learners are metacognitive; that is, they are mindful of how they learn, set personal learning goals, regularly self-assess and adjust their performance, and use strategies to support their learning" (http://sites.cdnis.edu.hk/school/ls/2011/05/12/teachers-as-lead-learners/). Developing one's on metacognitive skills begins with developing an awareness of one's own thought processes while learning new. Once this awareness is developed, the steps of learning can be more clearly articulated. Articulate and Showcase the Actual Steps of Learning If learning is understood as a process – one that goes from not knowing to one of knowing, then educators should know, understand, and clearly articulate the steps to that process. Granted, learning different things requires some different strategies, but there are some steps that cut across disciplines. For example, some of these steps include how one does the following:
- How do I gather information about what it is that I want to learn?
- What are the steps am I taking to learn?
- How do I know if I am adequately acquiring the knowledge, skills, etc., related to that learning?
- What do I do when I get stuck?
- What do I do when I need help?
So related to the metacognitive process, if the educator records the steps to their learning process, this can help make it more overt and obvious. Understand and Embrace the Iterative Process of Learning The following video discusses that "effective" learning is often iterative which involves prototyping, testing, failing, tweaking, and then repeating this cycle.
The educator as a lead learner normalizes, embraces, models, and reinforces the iterative process of learning.
Record the Stages of Artifact Development This strategy can be especially useful if the goal is to create or make something. It can include writing something, learning a new skill, and making something (as in Maker Education). Too often education techniques focus on exemplary models. This gives the message that perfection is expected – not respecting that there are several stages, often several prototypes or iterations on the road towards perfection. Recording those iterations as artifacts through images, pictures, descriptive narratives will support and reinforce learning as a process. Use and Demonstrate the Self-Evaluative Reflection Process
The authors [of this research] argue that learning from direct experience can be more effective if coupled with reflection—that is, the intentional attempt to synthesize, abstract, and articulate the key lessons taught by experience. The results reveal reflection to be a powerful mechanism behind learning, confirming the words of American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer John Dewey: "We do not learn from experience … we learn from reflecting on experience." (Learning By Thinking: How Reflection Improves Performance)
Another strategy, intimately connected with the others presented in this post, is engaging in periodic self-evaluative reflection. It involves the revisiting the following question throughout the learning process, "What criteria am I using to assess the "goodness" and accuracy of my learning? In the absence of meeting that criteria, what do I do to adapt my strategies to meet this standard?"
Knowledge of one's learning process can (and should) be used as part of an educator's professional development. If done as such, it teaches and reinforces:
- The importance of learning new things; the importance of being a lifelong learner.
- The process of learning so this process can be more easily described and reinforced with students;
- The importance of a growth mindset; that growth is possible during any time of one's career.
It is important to realize the implications for our students of our own critical reflection. Students put great store by our actions and they learn a great deal from observing how we model intellectual inquiry and democratic process. Given that this is so, a critically reflective teacher activates her classroom by providing a model of passionate skepticism. As Osterman (1990) comments, "critically reflective teachers – teachers who make their own thinking public, and therefore subject to discussion – are more likely to have classes that are challenging, interesting, and stimulating for students" (p. 139).
