"How we teach must reflect how our students learn. It must also reflect the world our students will move into. This is a world which is rapidly changing, connected, adapting and evolving. Our style and approach to teaching must emphasise the learning in the 21st century." Includes great diagram.

This is where I want to go, but the first argument always is "we don't know how to use the technolgy". We do require teachers to bring already used lessons or units so we can get to this step, but we still teach the how to piece prior to moving to that lesson piece.

School was the big thing for a long time. School is tests and credits and notetaking and meeting standards. Learning, on the other hand, is 'getting it'. It's the conceptual breakthrough that permits the student to understand it then move on to something else. Learning doesn't care about workbooks or long checklists.For a while, smart people thought that school was organized to encourage learning. For a long time, though, people in the know have realized that they are fundamentally different activities.

We expect our students to be life-long learners. Teachers, must continue to absorb experiences and knowledge, as well. We must endeavour to stay current. I wonder how many people are still using their lesson and unit plans from five years ago. To be a teacher, you must learn and adapt as the horizons and landscapes change.

This is a blog post of how Dr. Wesch sets up his Digital Ethnography class. The fascinating combination of Netvibes, yahoo pipes, blogger, wet paint, and other free tools to make a very compelling course hub is wonderful. This is exactly how I would have done it too! ;)
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.

Does this surprise you?

differentiated instruction for teacher training - all our teachers get the same PD - with our without access to technology - yawn. -
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. -
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.

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.

Getting Attention in the Laptop Classroom - 9 views
-
Over the years we have seen little time or funding devoted to professional development (PD) that might equip teachers with the skills required to make smart and productive use of new technologies. What little PD we have seen was devoted mainly to the learning of software and how to operate the latest toys. We have too often placed carts before horses. Managing learning in the laptop classroom requires considerable savvy. This article explores the dimensions and characteristics of such classrooms, identifies the chief challenges facing teachers in such space, and suggests moves, tactics, strategies, tricks and scaffolding designed to optimize student learning.
