shared by Jon Lind on 15 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • When most of us consider education, we think of learning happening in isolated places — schools. But mobile devices are upending that assumption. With innovations like augmented reality, different kinds of information and experiences can be superimposed onto the real world, complementing and adding another dimension to “formal” learning institutions.
  • There is a dark side of the digital divide without broadband. Everyone assumes that people can access high powered sites. The FCC is busy working to create broadband for all but the realization of this will probably be a long time in coming. The sad part of this is the lack of classroom access in some parts of the US. We are told the new E-rate will help to solve this, but it is a BIG problem. Sometimes the people who need access most are out of sight , out of mind.

    This post is really weirdly written, kind of fractured. Has a great deal of good quotes and good questions about byod, the broadband side of the digital divide, and links to some good edutopia resources. Sig 1 context: byod, divide

  • 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

  • When the primary motive in such a huge undertaking like 1:1  is to change the outdated, one-way instructional methodology that still dominates so many of our classrooms, we need to focus on the large number of possibilities that can and will happen.

    Short article commenting on 1:1 plans involving ipads and mobile devices. The basic gist is that educators need to stop arguing about the negatives and find a way to make these plans work. Sig 1 Context: BYOD

    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.

  • 5. Facebook is a country. With over 500 million users as of July 2010, Facebook, were it a country, would be the 4th largest in the world. If you are an English-speaking American who has lived most of your life in one small town, how would you like to be dropped off on a street corner in China to find your way? You might want to learn the language and know a few of the local customs before you set out to do much of anything.

    There is a shift in how people get jobs, how companies advertise, how new ventures present themselves, how corporations gain business, how students learn, how everything works. More ways why students need 21st-century skills:

  • Chinese faculty actually laughed when they found out the U.S. education trends were in "standardized curriculum, rote memorization, and nationalized testing."
  • The creative jobs that drive innovation are now the highest 'value added' jobs in the world—the real creators of wealth. If states are going to stay competitive, they have to ... develop a workforce capable of doing creative work."
  • Ideal job candidates at these companies must now show they can "think with their hands" by having expertise or a second major in a musical instrument, auto repair, or sculpture

  • The truth is that our biggest innovations come from the combination of art and science, and there are many who agree.
