    This article talks a lot about having laptops instead of desktops. I think this is one way that Henrico County stands out...because of our lapotp initiative. However...are we using the technology to benefit the students the best that we can?

      I think this statement is so true. So many people are afraid to experiment and try new things unless there is hard evidence that supports the idea.
  • using hand-held devices in the classroom can improve students’ motivation, engagement, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving skills.

      I tend to agree with this statement but I think there needs to be some boundaries with it all.

    This article talks about technology integration taking a backseat since Obama has been in office. This person is definitely in favor of getting technology integration as a priority. They even gave ways that people can speak out in favor of it!

  • An interesting topic came up today within Search Mojo regarding the idea of online transparency and self-policing. Obviously, ethics comes in to play in self-policing. Whose ethics? That’s the question. Who are you to say what is and is not ethical in how I approach and execute things online?
  • Kate Puschak on 15 Jul 10
     
    I read one of Dr. Richardson's responses to a post and she was talking about self-policing so I wanted to explore that a little more. I think this article is fueled by emotions from a family issue, but it does ask some good questions!

    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.

    I love that site! It's great to take kids on virtual field trips and if their teacher is on a PODcast like that, then it helps students relate to teachers and generates great discussion.

      I thought that this was such a bold statement. That Web 2.0 will have a greater impact than the printing press. This comment really got me thinking...could this author be right? What are your thoughts?
    • Byron Davis
      Byron Davis on 27 May 10
       
      While I agree that the statement is a bold one, I believe it has the potential to be true. It's a matter of perspective. The printing press allowed for mass production that exposed ever increasing numbers of people to information and ideas. The internet used in Web 2.0 fashion offers the ability to not only instantaneously expose anyone with internet access ot information and ideas (for free), but also allows readers to enter into the discussion and be authors (like I am doing now instead of just reading it in an article). This is exponentially more powerful and yet so subtle. As a small modification of something that already existed, it does not make the dramatic grand entrance that the printing press made.
  • I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.

    Even though the author feels that educators should use the same tools the kids are using, he suggests that schools come up with their own social network. There are links here that are interesting.

    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!
  • Mylene Melson on 11 Jul 10
     
    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 verdict is out; the Promethean Board is the future of education. As adaptable and upgradeable as the computer it is linked to, expect the Promethean board to change the face of education in classrooms across the world for the next years to come.

      I think this is a strong statement considering we have all discussed knowing people who don't use the board effectively!
