PostDewey | Learning to Change - Changing to Learn - 5 views

  • More than a century ago (1902), his essay “The Child and the Curriculum” proposed a relationship between teaching and learning the old way (curriculum centric) and the new way (child centric). Reminding me of the typically Canadian appreciation of compromise, the essay blends a solution based on the readiness of the young learner with his/her need to acquire structured knowledge (curriculum).

Paying for technology hinders move to 21st century classrooms | SeacoastOnline.com - 4 views

  • The landscape is changing, said Cathy Higgins, state educational technology director. "There's still a very essential place for books, our traditional concepts of schooling, but there's also a really important place for using the tools that are available to us in the rest of our lives," she said.
  • To be effective in using technology in the classroom, teachers need to create a "hybrid" model," Middaugh said. "You can't just have the technology. You've got to mix it with hands-on, old-school if you will. The combination is what's going to be most effective because there are different learners."

Education Week: Students Turn Their Cellphones On for Classroom Lessons - 0 views

  • New educational uses of cellphones are challenging the "turned off and out of sight" rules that many districts have adopted for student cellphones on campus.
  • A growing number of teachers, carefully navigating district policies and addressing their own concerns, are having students use their personal cellphones to make podcasts, take field notes, and organize their schedules and homework
  • "In our district, especially at high school, students have a cellphone on them at all times, just like a pencil—it's an underused too
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Podcasting and classroom-response systems are among the more than 100 uses of cellphones that educator Liz Kolb has collected, and in some cases invented, for her book Toys to Tools: Connecting Student Cell Phones to Education, published in October.
  • One key to the cellphone's usefulness is the wealth of Web-based services that have cropped up recently, not necessarily marketed for schools but generally free in their basic versions. "Of course, they all have premium upgrades, or if they don't have upgrades, you see ads," Ms. Kolb cautioned.
  • In addition, Web-based organizers are available to bail out disorganized adolescents. For example, Soshiku, a service launched in September 2008 by Montana 17-year-old Andrew Schaper, lets users log their school assignments via e-mail or text messages. Students, including partners in joint projects, can arrange to receive "assignment due" notices to their cellphones or e-mail accounts.
  • "Mobile citizen journalism" is another popular trend that schools can harness, Ms. Kolb said, though she did not know of any school newspapers doing it extensively yet. "Schools can definitely set up their own mobile journalism text-messaging numbers," so students who are traveling can phone in reports and images, especially if they find themselves in the midst of breaking news.
  • Even with standard cellphones, she said, educators must make sure that all students understand the price structure of their calling plans, including the number of text messages that they can send and receive at no additional charge.
