- This analogy of equipping sailing vessels with steam engines works well as an illustration of technology being plugged into traditional classrooms.
  posted by Sharon Elin on 2009-05-15
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.

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
posted by Sharon Elin on 2009-05-15
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.
posted by Sharon Elin on 2009-05-15
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.
