Avenue4Learning - The Tool Isn't The Problem - 1 views

  • The tool isn’t the problem. WE are the problem. If we don’t know how to provide options for students and then get out of the way, we aren’t transforming their learning. In my opinion, children need to have access to MULTIPLE devices so that they can make decisions about what best suits them for a specific learning activity.

    Good read. Having tool options forces people to think about which option is best (since they are not always equal, depending on situation). Interesting though how many people just want to be told which tool to use, avoiding the messiness of having to find the best tool (which will always be a moving target). What happens when the "teller" or "tool decider" is no longer around? Hmm.

  •  
    Is only one iPad in a classroom worth it? This question keeps reappearing on the EC Ning and in other blog spaces. The answer is easy: YES, especially if the teacher has access to a Mac desktop or (preferably) laptop and a wifi network in the classroom. Hat tip: Sarah Ducharme

Is technology changing how students learn? - Daniel Willingham - 0 views

  • a lot of psychologists are actually skeptical that digital media are likely to fundamentally change the fundamentals of human cognition.
  • Steven Pinker has written "Electronic media aren't going to revamp the brain's mechanisms of information processing." I made the same argument here.
  • he basic architecture is likely to be relatively fixed, and in the absence of extreme deprivation, will develop fairly predictably.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Rather, the seemingly shorter attention span is their ability to maintain attention on a task that is not very interesting to them.
  • The second is the willingness to do so.
  • It's much easier for me to accept that one's beliefs--beliefs about what is worthy of my attention, beliefs about how much effort I should dispense to tasks--can be moved around, because beliefs are a product of experience.
