  • There is clear and widespread agreement among the public and educators that all students need to be proficient computer users or "computer literate." However, while districts are spending a great deal of money on technology, there seems to be only a vague notion of what computer literacy really means. Can the student who operates a computer well enough to play a game, send e-mail or surf the Web be considered computer literate? Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education?

Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society?

The productivity side of computer use in the general content area curriculum is neglected or grossly underdeveloped (Moursund, 1995).

Educational technologists are clearly describing what students should know and be able to do with technology.

  • There is increasing recognition that the end result of computer literacy is not knowing how to operate computers, but to use technology as a tool for organization, communication, research, and problem solving. This is an important shift in approach and emphasis. 
  • Successful integrated information skills programs are designed around collaborative projects jointly planned and taught by teachers and library media professionals. Information technology skills instruction can and should be imbedded in such a curriculum. Library media specialists, computer teachers, and classroom teachers need to work together to develop units and lessons that will include both technology skills, information skills, and content-area curriculum outcomes. 
  • Students need to be able to use computers and other technologies flexibly, creatively and purposefully. All learners should be able to recognize what they need to accomplish, determine whether a computer will help them to do so, and then be able to use the computer as part of the process of accomplishing their task. Individual computer skills take on a new meaning when they are integrated within this type of information problem-solving process, and students develop true "information technology literacy" because they have genuinely applied various information technology skills as part of the learning process.

  • Mr. Wesch is not swearing off technology—he still believes you can teach well with YouTube and Twitter. But at a time when using more interactive tools to replace the lecture appears to be gaining widespread acceptance, he has a new message. It doesn't matter what method you use if you do not first focus on one intangible factor: the bond between professor and student.
  • Mariana Perez Galan on 19 Feb 12
     
    Its very important to always remember that we are the teachers, our job is to guide children to use technology in a positive way. We have to learn how find advantages as well as disadvantages of using internet and technology in our classrooms this way we can plan ahead when something goes bad.

      We need to use technology with a purpose. 
  • Teachers often use technology to support their own teaching, but may often fail to see the relevance of child-friendly tools as a means to support children’s learning.
  • we contend that child-friendly technologies should be considered as serious learning tools in the formal learning environment of the primary classroom.

  • Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process.

      *encouragement to react to new technology in the classroom fearlessly
  • Being a 21th century teacher means we have to equip our students with the know-how of technology, there simply is no excuse to not fulfill our job.  Our students learn from us, even the way we react to change, so think of your approach as the newest thing is shown to you.  Will you model how to be fearless?

  • Technology allows parents and teachers to provide the right amount of discipline for each student individually, and to supplement where necessary. It also allows students to learn at their own pace, which can help keep them interested and excited about the material.

      Facilitate Self-paced Learning
  • Take learning out of and beyond the classroom. Children learn in a multimodal manner -– they want to be able to touch and hear and see things up close. Netbooks or laptops that feature tools like a camera, writing stylus and audio recording capabilities help to encourage a multimodal approach to learning. The more learning modes (auditory, visual, and experiential) that are exercised, the more likely the material they are learning is likely to stay with them long-term.

      Some of the future work skills for the year 2020. I think I'm trying to deal with two of these skills right now: new-media literacy and virtual collaboration.
  • Here are the skills:Sense-making. The ability to determine the deeper meaning or significance of what is being expressedSocial intelligence. The ability to connect to others in a deep and direct way, to sense and stimulate reactions and desired interactionsNovel and adaptive thinking. Proficiency at thinking and coming up with solutions and responses beyond that which is rote or rule-basedCross-cultural competency. The ability to operate in different cultural settingsComputational thinking. The ability to translate vast amounts of data into abstract concepts and to understand data-based reasoningNew-media literacy. The ability to critically assess and develop content that uses new media forms and to leverage these media for persuasive communicationTransdisciplinarity. Literacy in and ability to understand concepts across multiple disciplinesDesign mind-set. Ability to represent and develop tasks and work processes for desired outcomesCognitive load management. The ability to discriminate and filter information for importance and to understand how to maximize cognitive functioning using a variety of tools and techniquesVirtual collaboration. The ability to work productively, drive engagement and demonstrate presence as a member of a virtual team

      Someday hope to work with SMART boards!
  • We are now in 2012, and the 21st Century is totally upon us. The 20th Century, to be honest, is not even in the rear view mirror anymore. Blogging, flipped classrooms, iPads, mobile learning- these topics dominate the airwaves of education news and technology blogs.  With the announcement of the iBooks textbook initiative by Apple, we are entering a true era of Minority Report-style media consumption.
  • Taking the time to master these tools is not something that can be done in a 30 minute prep session before school. Mastering the education tools of this century takes a commitment to breaking down the proverbial walls of what a teacher used to be. Mastering these new teacher processes takes letting go of the idea that your day will end when you leave the brick and mortar.

      Overall, we were surprised by what we found. In the broadest sense, our findings led us to conclude that what the media has dubbed the "multitasking generation" surely exists, but it may not be as fractured or haphazard in its working habits as we have been led to believe.39 That is, our findings suggest this moniker, in general, may not always apply in some locales and under certain circumstances.

      Overall, we found most respondents (85%) could be classified as "light" technology users. These were students who used "only" one or two IT devices primarily in support of coursework and, to a lesser extent, communication. The most frequent combination (40%) of devices being used was a cell phone (including smart phones) with a personally owned laptop computer while they were in the library. In stark contrast, only 6% of the sample could be classified as "heavy" technology users.
  • Great paper!
