<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the first pages of <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Being-Wrong-Adventures-Margin-Error/dp/0061176052"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Being Wrong</span></a></i>, Kathryn Schulz writes, “In our
collective imagination, error is associated not just with shame and stupidity
but also with ignorance, indolence, psychopathology, and moral degeneracy.”
This cultural terror of messing up, combined with modern modes of parenting and
schooling obsessed with narrow versions of academic and career “success,” are
making students more than risk-averse.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

coming to college “underconstructed,” at best unsure of who they are and where
they fit, at worst anxious and depressed, because their parents have protected
them from the uncomfortable and unacceptable state of being wrong. Focused on
getting the grades or winning the game and excused from helping out around the
house, these children have internalized the pressure, and it’s morphed into a
monster that paralyzes kids in their ability to take risks, screw up, find
out the consequences and learn from their mistakes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Parent and educator Jessica Lahey, author of the new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Failure-Parents-Children-Succeed/dp/0062299239/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439224300&sr=1-1&keywords=the+gift+of+failure+jessica+lahey"><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Gift of Failure</span></i></a>, wants parents (and
teachers) to back off. She said it’s time for adults to do the responsible
thing and let the children fail. Trying something and failing, she writes, is
how children learn and make discoveries about themselves and the world around
them. This applies to unloading the dishwasher as well as the science fair.
Becoming autonomous gives children pride in themselves and their abilities, and
makes them independent thinkers and doers who can cope with the ups and downs
of life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it will be messy, and adults should expect as much. To Lahey’s
credit,<i> The Gift of Failure</i> defiantly rejects the binary choices of either
“triumphant or bumbling adulthood” as end goals, and sees growing up as a
series of peaks and valleys with lots of time to figure things out in between.
Instead, she offers practical advice, steeped in the latest research, on how to
let kids find their own way as parents and teachers guide them, the key word
being <i>guide </i>— not instruct, dictate, or enable. Giving kids
autonomy may or may not make them a big “success,” but the research
supports that it will make kids happier, less anxious and depressed, and more
fulfilled to work towards agency in their own lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lahey taught middle school for more than a dozen years, and said that in
that period of time, she watched as kids went from cautious to take risks to
too terrified to even make a move — write a sentence, for example —
without considering what people might think or how it would affect their grade.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The thing I began to notice was not the fear of an ‘F’, it was the fear
of any mistake,” she said. “It’s not that students couldn’t get to a final
draft, they couldn’t get even their ideas down. From a teacher’s point of view,
that’s a nightmare! If they can’t take a risk, then certainly they aren’t
raising their hand with an I-wanna-try-this-idea-out kind of thing.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many educators already know this, but what to do about it? Educators can
play a crucial part in helping kids to get comfortable with failure, which
Lahey calls “autonomy-supportive teaching” and goes hand-in-hand with
“autonomy-supportive parenting.” She says there are ways educators can
encourage parents to let go, and here are a few:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stop bringing forgotten homework to school, Lahey tells the parents of
her students. And stop stressing over how your daughter will do on next week’s
quiz: instead, focus on what your daughter can learn if she does it all
herself, without nagging and pestering and pressure. If she does indeed fail
the quiz, she may be forced to ask herself what went wrong, and what she could
do better next time. Parenting is a long-haul job, Lahey says, and parents and
teachers need to think more about what’s going to make kids happy in the long
term. In the case of the quiz, the short-term goal is getting an ‘A,’ but the
long-term goal of self-sufficiency eclipses that minor ‘A’ by a long shot.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It’s so freeing!” she said. “You can stop worrying about the stupid
details of the moment-to-moment junk, and start focusing on the big things.
Just think about where your kid was one year ago today. They’re amazing!” Lahey
said she’s not sure if adults just forget, or worry that’s not true. She
suspects, though, that parents don’t see the amazing growth in kids because
they aren’t given the opportunity to show it very often.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lahey confesses this is a tricky balance, especially since schools today
are inherently — almost obsessively — focused on product (and may inadvertently
be contributing to parents’ anxieties over academic success). But there are
ways to get around that, she says.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Adjust expectations (and grades) to make room for real student work. In
the book, Lahey asks a kindergarten teacher what her kids can do that their
parents don’t think they can. She responds: “Everything!” In
autonomy-supportive teaching, work that students plan and orchestrate
themselves will look like — well, like a kid did it. That means no more science
projects worthy of their own Nobel. “Teachers need to move their expectations
as well. Our lines for where grades should be have creeped up anyway, based on
our expectations for what the product should look like. Our expectations have
been skewed by the work of the parents.” <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lahey knows that teachers love to hear that a parent has decided to make
the child more responsible for his own learning: “If you tell your teacher
you’re making the move to more autonomy-supportive parenting, and to please
hold your child to consequences without letting the kid off the hook? If you
ask the teacher to help you through this — that this is the only way your child
is going to learn? Just knowing when a parent is interested in supporting a
student’s voice and ability to speak up for themselves: a teacher will kiss you
on the lips for that!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the biggest pitfalls to autonomy-supportive parenting, Lahey says,
are the parent portal websites, with access to up-to-the-minute feedback
about scores and grades. Lahey and her husband decided to forgo the parent
portal for their older child. They handed the password over to their son,
telling him he’d need to let them know if he was in academic trouble. Some of
her friends were shocked, “as if we were defaulting on our parental duty,” she
writes. “I disagree. Checking in on children’s grades is a type of
surveillance, which is one of the forms of control and is often mentioned in
the research as an enemy of autonomy and intrinsic motivation.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some educators have called out the rash of overparenting books as only
written for a few upper-class parents; some have called The Overstressed

Many students are well-acquainted with failure, both their own personal
shortcomings as well as the systemic failures of their schools and homes. While
Lahey openly admits that <i>The Gift of Failure</i> doesn’t apply to
everyone, she cautions that it’s not just the 1% who are terrified of their
kids failing: “What I did find out by talking to teachers, is that it’s far
more pervasive than we thought,” Lahey said. “We’re talking about a big chunk,
a lot of middle class kids are getting the same kind of pressure,” as kids at
the top. Many times, she said, the pressure’s even greater if a family doesn’t
have the means to pay for college — especially when it comes to sports and
scholarships.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

love of learning at the altar of achievement, and it’s our fault.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was recently approached by <a href="http://www.webucator.com/">Webucator</a> to
write about the most important marketable skill that is required for graduates
in search of their first job after studies, and it made me reflect on my own
experiences in job interviews. I can remember attempting to predict what
employers would want in an employee, which conjured up images of a
cookie-cutter clone of the ‘perfect worker’. Perhaps this conceptualisation
filters down from as far back as expectations of work from the Industrial
Revolution (thanks, first-year Psychology); just as products moved along a prediactable assembly line, employees were expected to “fit in or ship out.” </span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was recently on the opposite side of the
table – part of an interviewing team gathered to meet potential facilitators
who would take over my role next year as I embrace my Educational Psychology internship
in 2015. A facilitator’s role is to work alongside the teacher in the classroom
to assist a learner (usually in a one-to-one scenario) in whatever manner is
appropriate to the learner’s specific need, and as such it is fairly important
to ensure that the facilitator is a good match for the child, the teacher, as
well as the classroom and school environment. Before the candidates arrived, we
spoke about what ‘type’ of facilitator the group had in mind. My role in this
meeting was to describe the facilitation scenario with the lovely little boy whom
I had helped to support this year, and to share some of the strategies that I
had used when facilitating. What really struck me was how our idea of a ‘type’
of candidate appeared to dissipate as we met the various potential facilitators.
It became obvious that each one brought various skills and challenges to the
table, and although it was the combination of these that influenced our opinion
of their suitability for the position, it was the energy and sincerity with
which the candidates expressed their skills and challenges that really stood
out. It was the candidates who were able to genuinely express their passion for
education and children in an authentic way that caught our attention –
especially in the stories that they told of personal experiences. </span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The very
first candidate was a young woman who did not have as much experience in
education as some of the other candidates, but she impressed with her authentic
manner in which she conveyed her experiences; both the shining and learning
opportunities. She had put together a really personal CV and cover letter,
which showed that she had considered the requirements of the position as well
as the environment in which she would be working. She made sure that her
personality shone through, and it was this authenticity that really won us
over. She didn’t attempt to conform to the ‘perfect candidate’ stereotype – she
presented herself as an authentic version of herself.</span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In essence, after this experience I would
say that the best marketable skill that a graduate could portray is the ability
to convey oneself in an authentic manner. In this way, your employer is
afforded a snapshot of how you would conduct yourself in your job, and is able
to make a realistic decision of your suitability for the position. As such, my
vote would go to the candidate who is authentic – not a real-life clone of the ‘perfect
worker.’</span></span></div>

I ABSOLUTELY love this site! Such a simple, easy-to-use format for online class communication that can be controlled and recorded by the teacher. It is as simple as:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Creating a name for your room</li>
<li>Indicating for how long the room must stay open</li>
<li>Open the room</li>
<li>Insert your name</li>
<li>Share the room name with your class! Once they are in the room, they can add their name and start commenting. </li>
</ol>
Once the time is up, the room is locked. There is even a function for transcribing the information. I really wish I had thought to use this site for online focus groups for my thesis research! They say hindsight is 20/20 vision!<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I feel that I've neglected my 'techy' passion for ages now. My thesis has clearly taken attention away researching new developments in educational technology. Luckily, my research brought me back full circle! I discovered a great article which helped delineate the laptop vs. tablet debate rather nicely. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's the link: <span style="color: #0000ee; text-decoration: underline;">What's the best device for interactive learning?</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This has been a question of mine for ages now: How do schools choose, amid the plethora of choices, the best device(s) to use in their classrooms? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I liked David Mahaley's answer (Franklin Academy, North Carolina) in this article: "First you have to ask: What do you want the device to do for your children?" I see lots of teachers blindly adopting technology into the classroom, without asking this question. Sometimes it may not be appropriate to use technology at all...it depends on the requirements of the task - what you, as teacher, would like for your learners to experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy the read! I'd love to hear your thoughts :)</div>

<br />
I haven't blogged for a while, but my new crop of student teachers have started to create their own blogs,so I thought it was high time that I looked at my blog again! Things have been so busy, but I realised that one must simply make time for those things that you enjoy! Hence, here I am!<br />
<br />
I have designed a short course for Stellenbosch University called Digital Literacy Short Course, specifically targeting new teachers who are in the BEd faculty of Stellenbosch University. The course consists of 5 modules; Going Digital (which introduces new teachers to digital literacy and educational technology, as well as to consider how teaching and learning differs in the 21st century), Presentations (an introduction into various interactive, visual and audio presentation formats that teachers could use in their classrooms), Information Surfing (for both teachers' and learners' academic information pursuits, as well as for teachers to access the plethora of teaching resources available on the net), Going Google (a taster of what Google in Education can offer to teachers), as well as Application and Reflection (how one can use the tools learnt in the classroom, and for various levels of resource availability).<br />
<br />
The course is scheduled to run twice this year. We have just run the first component of the June opportunity - a 20 hour workshop, to be followed by 40 hours of self-study and assessment submission to be completed by the students. The October opportunity will run slightly differently - 5 x Thursday morning contact sessions in the month of October, with 40 hours of self-study and assessments to complete in the time between the contact sessions. Both of these opportunities are pilot studies - should they be well-received, we hope to incorporate them into the BEd and PGCE courses.<br />
<br />
Below are the June opportunity student blogs:<br />

I really applaud my students' efforts to venture into a completely new (and often scary!) adventure of blogging! So much of blogging is playing around and learning the various features and opportunities that the various blogging platforms afford. All of the best, ladies! I look forward to reading of your exciting discoveries!</div>

<b><br />
</b> Education 1.0 - Substitution-Augmentation: Knowledge is passed form teacher to learners.Technology may be used to merely capture the information or present it for the teacher to mark *Receiving, Responding, Regurgitating*<br />
<br />
Education 2.0 - Modification: Teacher- learners-peers interactivity begins *Communication, Contribution, Collaboration*<br />
<br />
Education 3.0 - Redefinition: Content is freely available and shareable *Connectors, Creators, Constructivists*<br />
<br />
Excellent ideas for getting learners to engage in using different technology and learning.<br />

Jackie Gerstein explores this phenomenon in her blog <i><a href="http://usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/teacher-agency-educators-moving-from-a-fixed-to-a-growth-mindset/">User Generated Education. </a></i><br />

What happens when your learners know more than you as teacher about the technology that you use to teach them? Terry Heick has some interesting ideas about the <i>digital learner </i>in his post <a href="http://www.teachthought.com/technology/what-happens-students-use-technology-better-teachers/" target="_blank">What happens when students use technology better than teachers?</a> featured in TeachThought.<br />

<br />
Some of you may already know, but I am researching for my Masters thesis on the motivating effects of technology in the classroom, and so I jump at any research I can get my hands on with regards to technology used in education. One of my students posted this fabulous link on her blog, <a href="http://edupsyblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">UmzanziEduPad</a>, that details much information on technology in Africa - research that is sorely lacking. Rudi de Waele is founder and CEO at <a href="http://www.nyotamedia.com/" target="_blank">Nyota Media</a>, and the website is a host of wonderful information regarding techno-trends.<br />
Have a look. Once again, thank you, Marina!<br />
