In this episode, we revisit rubrics and talk about how rubrics not only limit deeper learning but how they can limit creativity and ownership of the learning. When you use authentic learning with a focus on the learning outcomes your rubrics must be open enough to allow for the demands of real-world projects which should set the context for learning, not the rubric.
2019-09-0524 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsAuthority Vs Influence LMD Ep 27Authority Vs Influence LMD Ep 27. In this episode, we discuss how change is brought about by influence rather than authority. Too many people believe they are not able to influence change in their organization because they do not hold a position of authority. Yet, real change happens when people decide to change and they choose to follow the influence of others.

In this episode, we discuss how important it is to focus on learning first and then look to technology to enhance learning. All too often, hopes for innovation are attached to the deployment of a piece of hardware or software. If you focus on the technology then you are forced to conform the learning to the limitations of the technology. If you focus on learning first the technology will actually disappear when it takes its place as a tool to enhance creativity, collaboration, communication, exploration, and innovation.

In this episode, we explore the notion that if you believe something or not then it is true. Our belief in our ability or lack of ability often determines whether or not we even try something. Research is clear; a learners' belief about their results is accurately aligned with their actual results. If you want learners to see challenges as opportunities for growth and learning then they need to develop a learner’s mindset which empowers them to become lifelong learners. The Learner's Mindset enables one to be a perp...

In this episode, we discuss what it takes to develop foster intrinsic motivation. Research is clear; our system of education has a tendency to kill intrinsic motivation. If you want your learners to develop intrinsic motivation you need to create a significant learning environment in which your learners have choice ownership and voice through authentic learning opportunities.

In this episode, we discuss the differences between competency-based education (CBE) and outcomes-based education (OBE). There is a tendency to interchange the terminology regarding these two different types of instructional methodologies which results in confusion in how these two different approaches are and should be used.
2019-02-2142 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsPersonalized Learning LMD Ep 16Personalized Learning LMD Ep 16. In this episode, we discuss how to put the personal into personalized learning. All too often educators make the mistake of assuming a piece of software or a computer-based drill is personalized learning. While these tools are useful in helping learners develop or practice skills the personalized aspect of learning is developed when an educator looks at the learner's preparedness and creates a significant learning environment in which the learner has choice ownership and voice through authentic learning opportunities. This is what makes learning personalized.
2019-02-1228 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsFeedback vs Feedforward LMD Ep 15Feedback vs Feedforward LMD Ep 15. In this episode, we discuss how giving learners effective feedback or what we like to refer to as feedforward can be one of the most important factors in contributing to learner achievement. We also explore the fact that there must be a trusted relationship to create the context for feedback to be received. If we don’t give our learners effective feedback we are hindering their achievement.
2019-01-3147 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsPower of Choice LMD Ep 14Power of Choice LMD Ep 14. In this episode, we discuss how giving learners authentic choice can lead to them taking ownership of their learning.

Another way to look at this is what are the 5 things I wish I did sooner with my ePortfolio or if I were to start from scratch with what I know now what would I do?. An ePortfolio is much more than just a digital drawer where you dump your digital content so if you use it wisely it can help you not only become a better learner but can help you share these insights effectively...
2019-01-0532 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsReading for Deeper Learning LMD Ep 11Reading for Deeper Learning LMD Ep 11. In this episode, we discuss how to important it is to read for deeper learning. Rather than just reading at the inspectional level we suggest learners go deeper and move into the analytical and synoptical levels of reading. Our educational system's emphasis on standardized testing and information regurgitation has an unfortunate side effect of not requiring learners to move into analytical and synoptical reading which results in deeper learning and understanding.
2018-10-2724 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsWhat makes an effective ePortfolio LMD Ep 10What makes an effective ePortfolio LMD Ep 10. In this episode, we discuss how to effectively use ePortfolios. Rather than use ePortfolios as simply a digital container we suggest that ePortfolios be used to help learners find and develop their voice and to share the results of their authentic learning opportunities. We know from the research that ePortfolios can be high-impact practices if we give our learners choice, ownership, and voice through authentic learning opportunities.
2018-10-2727 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsHelping Learner’s Find and Develop Their Voice LMD Ep 09Helping Learners Find and Develop Their Voice LMD Ep 09. In this episode, we discuss the importance of the learner's voice and how we need to help our learners develop their voice. Rather than allow the learner’s voice to be continually quenched by our content and standards-based system the authors argue that we need to create a learning environment that helps to nurture the learner’s voice. We know from research that in order for learning to be truly transformative learners must use their voice and reflect on their learning experiences.
2018-10-0428 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsWhat is the Learner’s Mindset LMD Ep 08What is the Learner’s Mindset LMD Ep 08. In this episode, we discuss what the learner’s mindset is and how we need to preserve and foster this mindset in our learners. Rather than allow the learner’s mindset to be quenched by our content and standards-based system the authors argue that we need to nurture this natural human capacity that all of our children are born with. The way to preserve this intrinsic ability is to give create significant learning environments in which we give our learners choice, ownership, and voice through authentic learning opportunities.
2018-09-2537 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsPreparing Learners for Life LMD Ep 07Preparing Learners for Life LMD Ep 07. We discuss the importance of preparing learners for life instead of just preparing them for the test. The best way to prepare learners for life is to give them the ability to choose and own their authentic learning opportunities. When we use authentic learning opportunities as the context for learning we prepare learners for the challenges of the real world which has the added benefit of preparing them for the test.

2018-07-1932 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsRethinking Rubrics LMD Ep 05Rethinking Rubrics LMD Ep 05. In this episode, we discuss rubrics and how they can, unfortunately, limit deeper learning. Research shows that the students will all too often focus on satisfying the requirements of the rubric rather than focus on the learning outcomes. We suggest that while it is important to give students guidance in meeting course outcomes rubrics shouldn’t become so prescriptive that they simply lead to information regurgitation or checking the items off the list.
2018-07-0335 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsGenius Hour Isn’t a Quick Fix LMD Ep 04Genius Hour Isn’t a Quick Fix LMD Ep 04 - We discuss how Genius Hour, 20% time, Passion Projects, and similar activities can be much more effective if we don’t try to use them as a quick fix. We also argue that if these student-centered activities that give learners the opportunity to engage in their passions are much more effective if they are used for the majority of the instructional time and test prep should be limited to 20% time.
2018-06-1515 minLearner's Mindset DiscussionsDesigning Online Discussions LMD EP03Designing Online Discussions LMD Ep 03 - We discuss the importance of designing online discussions that have meaning and purpose. The best way to provide this meaning and purpose is to give students the ability to choose and own their authentic learning opportunities where they will find their voice. Discussion based on these authentic learning opportunities not only allows students to find purpose but also allows the instructor to move beyond the limited post 1 and respond to 2 post assessment formula.
