A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 5 views

  • But the No. 1 challenge in ed tech, according to the report, is with teachers themselves and the inadequacy of their preparation and ongoing training.
    • anonymous
       
      Does this surprise you?
    • Melanie Hoskins
       
      differentiated instruction for teacher training - all our teachers get the same PD - with our without access to technology - yawn.
    • Dave Solon
       
      We stress to our students that they need that 21st Century Skill to 'learn how to learn.' Perhaps we need to re-invigorate our teachers and administrators with that idea as well.
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      Just had this discussion with a teacher today. She was telling me she is an auditory learner and doesn't learn well in a large group setting. I said we don't do with our adult learners what we say should be done with our students. I try to accomodate different learnning styles when I work with teachers.
  • "The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs," the report said.
    • anonymous
       
      And, I would add, that the training is designed to teach the skills and not the pedagogy for using those skills in class. Teachers still see this as an aside to their job of teaching the content for the purpose of scoring high on the tests.
  • The third critical challenge cited by the authors was the failure of both technology and teaching practices to meet demands for differentiated, personalized learning.

      And this SHOULD be easy, no?

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 4 views

  • In the fourth slot was nothing short of the "fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment," specifically, as the authors described it, "resistance to any profound change in practice."
    • anonymous
       
      Whoa! What do you think of this?
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I think it's spot on. The big change our administration is pushing for is a new lunch schedule. Although it would be better for our students, he has met resistance...from the cafeteria manager, who claims it will cost more in labor for her.
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      We always deal with this - we are one of the top high schools in the state so, why mess with excellence?
  • The authors said that as long as the thrust of education support is on maintaining the existing system's "basic elements," meaningful change will face resistance.
  • The lack of congruence between what students are learning outside of school and what they're being taught in the classroom is causing a disconnect in educational practices.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The existence of a wealth of online tools and communications tools is allowing teachers to "to revisit our roles as educators."
    • anonymous
       
      Can't argue with this, but the question is DO they revisit their roles?
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      Good question, Jim. I get frustrated with teachers that seem to just teach day in and day out but don't explore what is changing in their content area or in the world of their students. Teachers don't have to jump on every bandwagon that comes along but they should be aware of possibilites and be carefully choosing where they are going to focus their time and teaching methods.
  • "As IT support becomes more and more decentralized, the technologies we use are increasingly based not on school servers, but in the cloud,
    • anonymous
       
      This is great - as long as the bandwidth is there.
  • "The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education
  • Digital literacy will also play an increasing role in career advancement, according to the report.
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills."
    • anonymous
       
      I like how this is phrased, too
  • Innovation is valued at the highest levels of business and must be embraced in schools if students are to succeed beyond their formal education
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I hear fairly frequently from students who resist technology. They have been brought up to copy notes from the teacher and spit info back, so meaningful tech integration means more work for them. I think we need to stress with them that their future may be enhanced if they have this knowledge.
  • "It has become clear that one-size-fits-all teaching methods are neither effective nor acceptable for today’s diverse students," according to the report. "Technology can and should support individual choices about access to materials and expertise, amount and type of educational content, and methods of teaching."
