  • Effective technology integration is achieved when the use of technology is routine and transparent and when technology supports curricular goals.

      I really like this comment. Technology use should be routine and not just a supplement to the lesson. Curricular goals are essential - how does it further the content?

  • Technology education means taking time away from subject area learning and focusing on the acquisition of technology skills.

      So, we need to use all of our time for teaching content ---- in a lecture-based format?

  • computer use as a reward

      I disagree here. Technology can and should be used as a reward - as long as the technology activity reinforces content, then why can't it also be enjoyable (Quia, etc)?

    I read and commented on the article above and mentioned staff development and this article had it! I liked this article because he thinks like I do! I agree with Garry... technology substitution is something that probably many of us are guilty of doing. I am going to take a hard look at my lessons so that I stay away from that.

  • Strong evidence to the contrary suggests that effective use of technology is helping teachers bring lessons to life.

      We all need to remain critical of whether or not our lessons are truly engaging. Adding technology doesn't make it enriching and engaging automatically.

    Technology provides ways to enrich instruction. yada yada
  • Mylene Melson on 11 Jul 10
     
    "Effective" is the word that caught my attention is this article. For us to use technology effectively in an enriching and engaging manner, we need effective staff development. Most of these articles assume that the motivated teacher is going to find the time to learn this on his/her own. Not everyone is like that. I'd like to start concentrating on finding articles on effective staff development.

    How can one say that a standard body of knowledge may no longer be relevant? This sounds like an excuse to stop paying for public education and simply making technology the end all, be all of existence. Can you imagine a world where the average citizen doesn't understand the origin of the Star Spangled Banner or the Emancipation Proclamation?

    I really enjoyed reading this article and tend to agree! Altough we live in a very technological world and I Iove my computer and all of the great things I can do; it often makes us very lazy and often out of touch with reality.
  • Tia Brown on 10 Jul 10
     
    I do agree that technology takes the personal out of a lot of things. This article reminded me of a quote from "Sweet Home Alabama." When Dorthea says to Melanie "He doesn't want to get ATMs on the account of no personal contact." I also agree with the idea of kids not reading as much or doing as much work and getting lazy about education.

    This article is written by a gentleman who is for technology, however, he is addressing the four major reasons he has found for reasons people oppose technology. I was actually surprised at the four he narrowed it down to and summarized. Never really thought about most of them as reasons for NOT wanting technology integration! Interesting!

    Wow! What a list.... I enjoyed reading the comments to the blog as well. The "contrary to..." seemed very extreme but had some good points. I'm imagining that this agument would have probably been used during the industrial revolution as well.

  • The interactive whiteboards that were meant to radicalise our teaching have been proven to make no real difference, other than encouraging the kind of didactic, front-of-class teaching that is supposed to induce the least learning in our charges

    I've also witnessed the use of the interactive whiteboards. The teacher stood at the front of the room and clicked on items that she had prepared on her computer while the students sat and listened just as they would during a regular lecture. It was just nicer to look at.
  • anonymous on 12 Jul 10
     
    This is the perfect example of the intersection of pedagogy and technology: if pedagogy doesn't change (ie, teacher presentation as a primary means of instruction), then technology will be used to support that. I do know a few teachers who said that maybe they brought kids to the board more, but most of them already had students come up when they had a chalkboard so it wasn't that much of a stretch.

  • Stacy Palkovics on 11 Jul 10
     
    I agree Shannon! Sometimes I think we get so "technology happy" that we often forget some of the other skills which are equally as important.
  • Melissa Reams on 11 Jul 10
     
    I think we also forget that 21st century skills does not always mean "using a computer." Collaboration is a 21st century skill that can be achieved sans a technological device. I feel like that is all we hear....21st century learner, 21st century learner!! Do all teachers, parents and students really know what that means?

    This scares the crap out or me. Cell phone cameras have made it so easy for kids to take risque pictures and forward them on. What they don't realize is that once they have sent it out, it is out there for the whole world to see and most of them have not clue how harsh the consequences can be.. Iike the 17 year old in this artlice charged with child pornography after posting pictures of his 16 year old girlfriend online. YIKES!
  • Tia Brown on 17 Jul 10
     
    Stacy I have to laugh at all your posts, because most of them are against technology use, but I know you do like using technology. That being said this worries me too. Because how far does this go? Kids are not only texting naked pics, but have you ever seen the filth they post on their facebook pages? I have and it disgusts me and worries me. I wonder if boys who have nasty pics of girls could be given child porn charges like this boy who texted them, cause facebook reaches a whole lot more people than just 70 friends on your list or even 2,000 kids in a school.

    I must say that I agree with the majority of this article. I feel like the advantages of technology far outweigh the disadvantages; however; the invansion of privacy is a huge disadvantage which is becoming increasingly out of control. As parents, we need to continue to constantly monitor what our children are posting and texting.

    This was a very interesting article on using technology with young students. I have never taught kids that young so it was very eye opening. Also, I liked the points Dr. Perry made about making sure to use active technolgies rather than passive ones like TV.

technology Virginia interview

  • Traditional textbooks have served us well, especially for me as a beginning teacher, because the textbook was the curriculum. The concept of looking at different ways to deliver textbooks could be as simple as putting it online or making it able to be viewed on an iPad or similar device. It could be more complex by including lots of multimedia and other interactive resources. But fundamentally, even experienced teachers are looking to textbooks for guidance on what to teach, what the content should be, and what the process should be. In developing electronic textbooks, you have to hold onto those concepts. The textbook is a teacher’s guideline and roadmap. Any of the multimedia and enhanced materials that you can include to enliven instruction would attest to that.
  • We can energize students with technology, and there’s a lot of gold to be panned in exploring many new teaching methods
  • OER would allow many opportunities and latitude to have really good and engaging instruction. The sharing of resources and best practices would help teachers do other things to enhance the learning of not only mainstream kids, but gifted students too. Struggling students can use these resources to review content in other formats or at different paces.

    Hey guys...I found this site to be very helpful, especially for those parents who have absolutely NO CLUE what is going on even if they are looking at their child's acivity. Felt this tied into our blogging this week...but this is more geared to the drug side of technology use (which is so depressing)

    It is just plain sad to me that kids go online to find "new" ways to get high! Keeping the parents educated is the key to keeping kids safe. It has to start at home. I know as educators we also play an important role, but parents have to constantly monitor what their kids are doing on the web.
