  • For kids to be given a fair shake in a modern economy, they are going to have to be computer literate,” Fowles adds. “Kids who aren’t will be at a terrible disadvantage, especially America’s poor children. And for many of them, school is the only place they’ll have the chance to learn it.”

    This article begins with an anecdote illustrating some creative IT solutions to digital divide problems. It goes on to examine the changing definition of the digital divide, examining some statistics about computers in schools and minority use of the internet and technology. The second-to-last section is specifically about mobile devices in classrooms. Interesting examples of these concepts at work. Sig 1 Context: Divide, byod, mobile

    This article first summarizes an argument by Gary Stager that byod is a bad idea because it makes teachers tailor instruction to the weakest device, highlights socioeconomic disparities in students, and "contributes to the growing narrative that education is not worthy of investment." The author goes on to acknowledge the problems Stager brings up, while describing the benefits of byod: driving schools to cloud computing rather than native apps, student ownershp of work and initiative to figure out solutions, etc. Thoughtful article that provides maybe raises more questions than it answers.

  • If Bennett’s assertion is true, that what matters are “the relationships, the discussions, and the experiences,” then the flipped classroom provides an effective use of classroom time to build relationships, engage in serious discussions, and provide meaningful experiences for all learners. And let’s not forget one more advantage. The flipped classroom allows more time for student interaction with the teacher. The disadvantage comes when a student does not have access to the technology — an iPad or the Internet to watch instructional apps or videos.  But we predict the flipped classroom will prove its effectiveness with better test scores and enthusiastic learners.  Then schools will be compelled to find ways to give all kids this advantage.

    This article includes a nice list of the top ten reasons to try flipping a math classroom, then goes on to discuss these reasons in detail. It also briefly touches on digital divide questions in the last paragraph. This article really helped me imagine what a flipped classroom would look, or feel, like.
