TIE+Conference+Notes

__Some notes from my attendance at the TIE Conference, April 15-17, 2012__ Jaime Casap - Sunday keynote Students have different learning styles, but we test students with standardized tests. Doesn't it make sense that we test different types of learners in different ways?

What is the value of education? The emphasis is no longer content, but rather we should be teaching students how to be self-directed learners. (Analogy of newspapers/provide news when it was hard to find. Education is now abundant with the Internet, so schools must CHANGE!) WE AS EDUCATORS MUST TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO BE LEARNERS (LIFE-LONG LEARNERS).
