Listening to Ian Jukes

Filed Under (blogging) by teachingsagittarian on 17-05-2007



I’ve just had 3 hours with Ian Jukes.  No notes taken, just recorded his presentation “Understanding Digital Kids” on my SONY mic recorder – much to the delight of my ever- grateful hands and brain :)   Guess what I’m listening to as I collapse wearily into my bed!

He made some very interesting points, he shared some very interesting facts about the teenage brain.  When I’ve had a chance to fully process all the information I gained tonight – I’ll blog about it properly. 

What I’ll be thinking about the most is ……..“they’re not thinking like we think they’re thinking”.

    [...] I tried to explain, a la Ian Jukes (via Chrissy Hellyer), that the process is not relevant to our students, that they’re not thinking like we’re thinking. I shared ideas for 21st century skills, I described the digital native concept, and I discussed authentic assessment, but in the end it’s just too much, prompted by too few, that has to change too quickly. After all, we have years and years of experience giving tests and putting them in binders. It’s just so much easier to keep doing things the way we’ve always done them. [...]
