Schools that utilize educational technology effectively do so in a strategic way. A strategic methodology promotes sustainability, or long term use, where a deep understanding of how the technology supports learning can develop, further leading to even more effective application.

The term “digital footprint” is often associated with fear and risk-aversion. Just stay offline as much as possible. Be anonymous. Don’t do anything you’ll regret. But I actually think there are some real benefits to allowing children to publish their work online:

Privacy is critical. But I also think it’s possible to be safe, ethical, and wise online and my kids know that I will always be there for them

Why Illiterate Educators? | My Island View - 2 views

A literate educator in the 20th Century is not the same as a literate educator in the 21st Century. Our education system is loaded with many 20th Century holdovers. Most are great people, and good teachers, but they are illiterate in 21st Century terms. We need not cast them aside. They are valuable and revered sources and educators. We need to support them with methods to upgrade their literacies. It must be a priority.

then it must be highly relational, active and inquiry oriented (both online and offline), and commit to empowering students with digital tools.

Blended learning is not a new term nor a revolutionary concept for classrooms in this second decade of the 21st century. However, the way it is being (re)interpreted could be hopeful or harmful depending on how it is implemented.
Visual Literacy - Metalanguage & Learning - 3 views
-
An increasingly significant aspect of literacy is an awareness of the visual elements that fall beyond the traditional components of written text. Termed 'Visual Literacy' this is the ability to read and create communications that use visual elements. It combines the skills of traditional literacy with knowledge of design, art, graphic arts, media and human perception. It takes literacy further beyond a decoding of text to a decoding of the complete package around the communication.

Dangerously Irrelevant: Parents are using online tools to push on schools - 0 views
-
The Washington Post recently published a really interesting article on the ability of well-connected parents to influence the decisions of their local school districts (hat tip to The Science Goddess). The term ‘well-connected’ refers to parents’ abilities to use online tools to communicate and mobilize (rather than to their connections to people with power).
-
Below are a few examples of parents pushing back on their local school systems. Parent tools include blogs, online petitions, and even administration countdown timers! I’ve linked to individual posts but you can click on the headers to see the blogs in their entirety. Has MCPS dropped American History from its curriculum? Change mayoral control? Beware the mushroom cloud! Media pig Wanted: a full-day kindergarten slot - do you feel lucky?

Online communication technologies have greatly amplified the abilities of parents to voice their opinions and mobilize for desired change. Activist parents now have a bevy of new tools and strategies to help facilitate their agendas and they are not afraid to use them. School organizations are going to have to get used to this new state of affairs in which parent activism and criticism are more public, permanent, and far-reaching. I’m pretty sure that most school leaders haven’t really thought about this…
Remote Access: I'm Done with Edtech - 0 views

I think that the technology in projects like this is amazing, but it is meant to help us see beyond our current ideas of what technology is and can be. I think we need a new term that isn't so tied up with corporations and politics and which concentrates more on learning.
-
The word edtech concentrates too much on the technology and the teaching. I think we need something new. I'm thinking "edinfo" (education for an information based society) or "ednet" (education for a networked society) or even "create-ed" (education concentrating on creativity).

I discovered this link today from Alice who led me to a post that uses the terms “resident” and “visitor” rather than immigrant and native. Native implies born and raised, you can’t become a native. You either are or you are not. Anyone can become a resident. It’s a choice.
