EdCamp43 - Transformative Learning

What do you think about Transformative Learning? What do you think about sharing a twitter stream as a blog? As I just posted in my last post, I kick myself regularly for not blogging. (When does microblogging become a blog post?)

Here is the nuggets of my learning on Transformative uses of Technology conversation at EdCamp today.

Kevin Amboe
Content is the conversations along the journey. Make connections to life. Can't make a journey and never move.
Kevin Amboe
Don't teach content. Teach students. Explore the world together. Take a learning road trip. .
Kevin Amboe
Let's go back to why teachers don't do inquiry? Go further back to why am I teaching any content? A report card?
Kevin Amboe
It takes courage to say what you really mean. Inquiry is personal. Thanks Louise Morris sd42 for that nugget
Kevin Amboe
RT : School is more than questions on a test. Good question can't be googled. no more trivial pursuit
Kevin Amboe
Is it harder to change the mindset of teachers or students to the paradigm / cultural shift to inquiry learning
Kevin Amboe
RT : yes, support them, remove barriers (and in some cases get out of their way. yes, we need to GOOTW
Kevin Amboe
How do we push the envelope to eliminate asking the 'googlable' question ?
Kevin Amboe
RT : ​How to take advantage of the 'pockets of brilliance' happening? . Remove barriers and empower, then share
Kevin Amboe
Amazing shift. Mythology was the way of explaining the world. Science now reduces the myths to stories
Kevin Amboe
student quote - (inquiry) makes me want to think more. So powerful when students lead there learning
Kevin Amboe
RT : The day . Excitement and passion as seen by stickies
