"If We Didn't Have Today's Schools, Would We Create Today's Schools?" - 0 views

    • Sharon Elin
       
      This analogy of equipping sailing vessels with steam engines works well as an illustration of technology being plugged into traditional classrooms.
  • We need to get the teacher into
    the game. The teacher needs to get in there and be part of the
    learning process, actively engaged in solving the problem with the
    students and learning with the students—not teaching but
    modeling learning with the students by functioning as an expert
    learner solving problems and constructing new knowledge with the
    students.
  • modeling the
    learning process

  • we will get the same result if we
    introduce modern learning technologies in our schools but do not
    prepare teachers to work in this new learning environment.   If we want to take
    advantage of these new technologies and the billions we are
    investing in equipment for our schools, we have to prepare teachers
    very differently than we have in the past. We have to change our
    own model of teaching and instruction in higher education.
  • Any
    organization that adopts a new technology without significant
    organizational change is doomed to failure. You have to change the
    organization. You cannot just add the technology. You have to
    actively work on changing the roles of the teachers, the roles of
    the students, the roles of the parents, and the roles of the
    administrators, and start to work toward building new relationships
    and new structures
  • Trying to introduce new technologies into schools without
    these changes would be similar to efforts in the sailing industry
    during the 1800s, when steam engines were installed in wooden
    sailing ships.
  • We will not get
    out of our wooden ship schools until we use communication
    technologies for two-way interactivity that allows us to
    collaboratively construct the learning experience and new
    knowledge.

How to Present While People are Twittering - 0 views

  • We used to suffer in silence through bad presentations. Today, the audience is now connected. They get to know that others are suffering too - and that changes the way they react.
  • He monitored the back channel through his phone:


    As the conversation on stage continued, the stream of questions and comments from the audience intensified. I changed my tactics based on what I saw. I asked questions the audience was asking, and I immediately felt the tenor of the room shift towards my favor. It felt a bit like cheating on an exam.
