297 - Dez coisas sobre as quais os pais deviam desaprender
A partir daqui
“We need to educate the parents.”
I’ve heard that statement three times in the past week alone. Once was while discussing the purpose of student portfolios . The second was in the context of making our PYP exhibition more student led, focusing more on the learning than the presentation. The third related to student led conference s. Apparently most parents want time to discuss their children’s learning without the learner present.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming the parents. They need to be partners in their children’s learning and we need to find ways to make this possible and meaningful. But many parents base their opinions on the only model of education with which they are familiar… their own schooling. Even if they are young parents, I’d like to hope schooling has changed since they went to school.
10 things I think (some) parents should unlearn…
1. Learning is best measured by a letter or a number.
2. Product is more important than process and progress.
3. Children need to be protected from any kind of failure.
4. The internet is dangerous for children.
5. Parents and teachers should discuss students without the learner present.
6. Homework is an essential part of learning.
7. The school is responsible for the child’s entire education.
8. Your child’s perspective is the only one.
9. Learning looks the same as when you went to school.
1o. Focus on (and fix) your child’s shortcomings, rather than their successes.
I won’t elaborate at the moment, as I’d rather have your input. As a teacher and/or a parent, which ones do you agree with? Disagree? Challenge? Question?
One of the most visited posts on this blog was 10 things TEACHERS should unlearn . Take a look at that one too. It was written two years ago – Does it need an update?

293 - As wikis e as Bibliotecas Escolares
Por estes dias oriento duas formações sobre a web 2.0 e a Biblioteca escolar. Numa delas, estivemos a trabalhar o uso e as potencialidades dos wikis pelas Bibliotecas Escolares.
Um Wiki é, pois, um sítio Web colaborativo que pode ser gerido por vários utilizadores, podendo estes criar, editar, apagar ou modificar o conteúdo de uma página Web, de uma forma interativa, fácil e rápida. Estas facilidades fazem de um wiki uma ferramenta efetiva para a escrita colaborativa, evitando-se múltiplas versões de um mesmo documento que tradicionalmente circulavam via e-mail, ficando o utilizador na dúvida se estaria perante a última versão e tendo ainda dificuldade em recuperar uma versão anterior do documento de que gostasse mais.
O Wiki mais conhecido é a Wikipedia, a maior enciclopédia on‐line e baseia-se num sistema Wiki à escala mundial.
Margaix Arnal publicou em 2008 um estudo sobre Web social. Nesse estudo a autora refere que o uso dos Wikis em Bibliotecas giram em torno de quatro eixos fundamentais:
1. Uso interno. Su flexibilidad en la publicación por parte de varios autores y el control de versiones la convierten en una buena herramienta para intranets.
2. Elaboración de guías de recursos. Muchas bibliotecas ofrecen a sus usuarios selecciones de recursos web comentadas. Las Wikis permiten ofrecer este servicio de una forma más eficiente, ya que ahora la edición ya no tiene que recaer sólo en una persona, se puede abrir a un grupo más amplio (más bibliotecarios, usuarios, etc.) y se puede utilizar los foros de discusión para que los usuarios aporten sus comentarios y opiniones.
3. Elaboración de manuales. […] Algunas bibliotecas han empezado a desarrollar manuales para los usuarios o para uso interno con herramientas wiki, donde los cambios son mucho más rápidos de publicar y los usuários siempre disponen de la última versión.
4. Guías de información local. En el contexto de la biblioteca pública es posible que la biblioteca ofrezca una wiki para que actúe como guía de la localidad con información del tipo que consideren oportuno: turismo, historia local, etc. La biblioteca seguramente no puede afrontar por sí sola crear y mantener todo ese contenido, pero sí ofrecer el espacio para que los usuarios lo hagan. (Arnal, 2008, pp.18-19)
Eis o endereço de algumas das Wikis produzidas pelos formandos. Estão bonitos!
