The Nuance K12 School License program is ideal for schools
considering Dragon deployments in classrooms or computer labs.
The Nuance K12 School License allows schools
to install Dragon Professional and/or MacSpeech Dictate on up to 250 school-owned or school-leased computers
at a single location. This single-site program, designed exclusively for K12 schools, offers both value and flexibility, allowing schools to combine both PC- and Mac-based speech recognition products.
Some interesting ideas here. But I would contend with, first, with the lack of non-technology 'innovative ways' to approach 21 century learning, and, second, his 'ranking' of what is 'obsolete'. thoughts?
Just saw this Doug.
I agree that innovative movements in education certainly don't need to involve technology. When I read this article I see much more than technology tool as offerings 21st century learning. I see major themes including collaboration, information access, personalization of the learning process, student choice, and better opportunities for students to be active learners. It's true you can't read too many paragraphs in this article that don't involve words like "blog" and "device." Yet, if these tools have become such a useful part of the lives of the 21st century student, why shouldn't we as teachers advocate for their use in our curriculum re-designs and innovative approaches to 21 century learning in schools?
"The test of life is not whether we can remember what we learn in school, but whether we are prepared for change," says Schleicher. "Whether we are prepared for jobs that haven't been created and to use technology that haven't been invented to solve problems we just can't anticipate today."
