attention literacy

What are you doingpersonally to manage your attention?

How can we be more intentional about teaching attention?

With regards to creating a video like that do you:

With regards to creating a video like that do you:A. Do it because it's not only fun but likely does address some curricular outcomes but you might have to look them up later. Fingers crossed.

B. Do it and to heck with the outcomes, doing joyful things with students is important.

C. Do it but perhaps as an extra-curricular activity because you're not sure where it fits with a robust curriculum but still think it's important.

D. Not do it at all.

Feel-Bad EducationThe Cult of Rigor and the Loss of Joyby: Alfie Kohn

"Why are our schools not places

of joy?"

It’s an end in itself.

Does your classroom or your office have room for joy?

“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”

“As we watch the world move to a state of near-constant

change and flux, we believe that connecting play and imagination may be the single most important step in unleashing the new culture of learning.”

“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”

“Play can be defined as the tension between the rules of the game and the freedom to act within those rules.”

How are you making play an intentional part of your day? Of your students day?

Where do you need to build social capital? How might technology be used to help you?
