2009 Horizon Report: The K12 Edition » Critical Challenges - 0 views

  • Students and teachers both are finding it necessary to be technologically adept, to be able to collaborate on a global scale and to understand content and media design.
  • Schools need to adapt to current student needs and identify new learning models that are engaging to younger generations.
  • To support such a change, both teaching practice and the tools used in the classroom must adapt. Assessment has also not kept pace with new modes of working, and must change along with teaching methods, tools, and materials.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Use of technology tools that are already familiar to students, project-based learning practices that incorporate real-life experiences, and mentoring from community members are a few practices that support increased engagement.
  • Technology tools that are part of everyday life for many students and working professionals should be seen as core tools of the teaching profession that teachers are required to master as any professional would master the tools of his or her trade.
  • Learners have increasing opportunities to take their education into their own hands, and options like informal education, online education, and home-based learning are attracting students away from traditional educational settings. If the system is to remain relevant it must adapt, but major change comes hard in education.

Interactives . Spelling Bee . Intro - 0 views

  •  
    This set of activities is like an old-fashioned Spelling Bee. Contestants -- that's you! -- in grades 1-8 will listen to three stories, one at a time, and then spell words from each story. Students in high school will listen to separate sentences and then spell the words from each sentence. If you get stumped, you can click to hear a word again, as many times as you need to. If you're in grade three or higher, you can ask for a definition too. Since words often make more sense when they are attached to an idea, all the words in the story or sentences are in context. Review the words, hear the audio, and SPELL the missing words. Make sure to check your SPELLING carefully, since your results will be calculated at the end.

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "It is how they perceive [the web] that makes them different in my opinion," he explains. "Many older people use the web, of course, but for digital natives the web is an integral part of their lives. They go there first, instinctively. And yes, some are better at it than others. I definitely agree that there is a continuum of capabilities among the digital natives. But if we are talking about what makes them different from previous generations, I believe it is this connection to the web."

      If the difference is in whether or not they go to the web 'instinctively' then I think this guy just disproved his own point. MOST of us to to the web instinctively.'
  • She says this group of learners is more globally aware, thanks to the internet, and more adept at collaborative uses of the web.

      And this definition has NOTHING to do with age.
  • "This generation definitely has a thematic approach to learning," she says, "which is not about, 'I'm a vessel--go ahead and fill me up.' It's about, 'I'm the master of my own educational destiny. Give me lots of input and I'll find what I think is most important.' Most of the [K-12] schools I talk to still believe that they are the custodians of knowledge. But for these kids, increasingly, [schools] are just one more source of input."

      I LOVE this discussion. What do you think?
    • Michelle Krill
       
      I think this is true. The educator has to teach the students how to know which information is important and how to make connections between what they know and what they are learning.

  • While Prensky's original definition might not survive close scrutiny a decade later--too generationally focused and without enough attention on how students use their devices--he was definitely on to something.
