Is Online Learning Focused on Lower Order Thinking Skills (Part II)

Posted by Ben Daley on Mar 22, 2012 in Blog, High Tech High


Is Online Learning Focused on Lower Order Thinking Skills (Part II)

One way to define higher order thinking skills is to reference Bloom’s taxonomy. But I think I hold in my head the idea that lower order thinking refers to simple memorization whereas higher order thinking refers to “thinking hard.” I tend to think of this in a judgmental kind of way. Lower order = bad. Higher order = good.
In the Udacity class on computer science, I often…

Is Online Learning Focused Only on Lower Order Thinking Skills (Part I)

Last week in the comments, Edgar raised a question about higher order vs. lower order thinking skills as they relate to blended learning. I’ve been thinking about this a bunch and now am working on a series of posts about this topic.
In thinking about this, I realized that I hold in my mind a very hazy sense of what “higher order thinking skills” even means. So for the purposes…

Consumption vs. Production

Posted by Ben Daley on Mar 16, 2012 in Blog, High Tech High


Consumption vs. Production

Since we opened High Tech High, we have had the mantra with technology that we are about “student production, not just student consumption.” By this we mean that students have many opportunities in life to consume more and more media and technology. Merely having a school where students consume even more content is not what we need. Instead, we think 6th graders should write a picture…

Project Based Learning in an Online Course

Project Based Learning in an Online Course

I have written earlier about the free online course from udacity.com on computer science I am taking with high school students right now. One aspect of the course that I did not recognize at first is that it is actually a project based course. It is not a “computer science 101” course. It is a “learn to make a search engine in 7 weeks!” course (and by the way, you will…

Udacious Learning

Posted by Ben Daley on Mar 13, 2012 in Blog, High Tech High


Udacious Learning

This fall, I enrolled* in the free, online, Stanford artificial intelligence course. For me, this class was a watershed moment. I have followed the development of many online courses over the years. I have often felt that the courses are really just a textbook copied onto a screen followed by a multiple choice question that asks you to recall what you just read. In other words, 19th century…
