      "Welcome to this week on Survival. In EdTech I have noticed that we focus a lot on "Ed" part and not so much on the impact that the "Tech" has not only on the student, but on the teachers and technology support teams. I have selected a few articles for this week that will focus on this week Brain Rule of Survival and how it relates to the integration of technology in the classroom.

    This article/slide show give you some of the "Hard Truths" about implementing technology in the classroom. In class we often think how great it can be to implement iPads and Web 2.0, but we often don't discuss what will happen when it all falls apart like technology often does...

  • the kids back then didn’t expect to be engaged by everything they did. There were no video games, no CDs, no MP3s—none of today’s special effects. Those kids’ lives were a lot less rich—and not just in money: less rich in media, less rich in communication, much less rich in creative opportunities for students outside of school. Many if not most of them never even knew what real engagement feels like.

      If teachers could tap into what engages their students, they can also tap into their motivation to learn and be active participants in the learning process.

  • In my view, it’s not “relevance” that’s lacking for this generation, it’s engagement.
  • So we have to find how to present our curricula in ways that engage our students—not just to create new “lesson plans,” not even just to put the curriculum online

      How do you engage your students in innovative ways in your classroom? With such emphasis placed on standardized test preparation, are you allowed academic freedom to engage your students with alternative teaching practices?
  • kids’ long-term engagement in a game depends much less on what they see than on what they do and learn.
  • And if we educators don’t start coming up with some damned good curricular gameplay for our students—and soon—they’ll all come to school wearing (at least virtually in their minds) the T-shirt I recently saw a kid wearing in New York City: “It’s Not ADD—I’m Just Not Listening!”

      It's not just about graphics and special effects, it's about substance. Do students learn and are they challenged?

    As we wrap up the week's topic of Survival, I found an excellent video article. It covers the one thing that new teachers fear more than "Walkers," six-graders!
  • Jaime Villanueva on 10 Nov 13
     
    Great video Juan! The comment about anticipation of barriers when implementing new technology in the classroom hits home for me.I have had my share of issues with technology in the past.This is why it is so important to do a dry run before the actual presentation because things can go wrong no matter how prepared you are. Always have a back up plan as a last resort.

    From YouTube: Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
