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?
    • 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?

DIALOGUE DRAFT -- "My Brother, My Keeper" - 3 views

  • Dr. Townshend: What the hell's this all about? Dr. Kelso: Nothing! I was, uh, just looking over your files and, um...well...your osteoporotic patients aren't on Bisphosphonate; your diabetics aren't on ACE inhibitors. Doug, a lot of your treatments are pretty out of date. Dr. Townshend: Come on, Bob, I'm--guys like us, we're set in our ways. Dr. Kelso: Well, this is not an age thing, Doug. Hell, these days if you've been out of med school five years, half of what you learned is obsolete. Why do you think I spend every other weekend at a seminar in some two-star hotel ballroom that still stinks of last night's prom vomit? I do it because I have to keep up. Dr. Townshend: Also, it gives you two days away from the missus, right? [laughs] Once again, I am sorry I was the one who introduced you in the first place! Dr. Kelso's expressions remains serious. Dr. Townshend: Look, Bob, I just...I don't have the energy for all that stuff. Dr. Kelso: Well...then we got a problem.

  • Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules.
  • Accessing YouTube is not violating CIPA rules
    • anonymous
       
      But, I really CAN understand if a district doesn't have the bandwidth to support it being open to all on every computer. But why not in the library, at least?
  • Websites don’t have to be blocked for teachers
    • anonymous
       
      This one dirves me NUTS!! Even in the SUMMER some tech folks won't open up the filter and just block the porn.

  • Schools will not lose E-rate funding by unblocking appropriate sites.
    • anonymous
       
      Then, if this is the case, ANY filtering beyond the Porn sites should be considered Censorship, IMHO
  • Teachers should be trusted.
    • anonymous
       
      Can I hear ANOTHER Amen?
  • See the excerpt below from the National Education Technology Plan, approved by officials who dictate E-rate rules.
  • Kids need to be taught how to be responsible digital citizens
  • Broad filters are not helpful
    • anonymous
       
      Amen!
  • [We need to] address the topic at school or home in the form of education,” Cator says. “How do we educate this generation of young people to be safe online, to be secure online, to protect their personal information, to understand privacy, and how that all plays out when they’re in an online space?”
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      Exactly!! I wish I could get this through to our district and make this a priority!
  • We also want students to be nice to each other, and not to engage in bullying, in an online space where their voice is amplified and persistent. We want students to grow up to be good digital citizen.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      We need to be proactive in this, not always cleaning up the "mess" once cyberbullying has taken place.
  • requires providing professional development for adults working with these students.
    • Michelle Eichelberger
       
      This is so necessary.

    "To clear up some of the confusion around these comments and assertions, I went straight to the top: the Department of Education's Director of Education Technology, Karen Cator. Cator parsed the rules of the Childrens Internet Protection Act, and provided guidance for teachers on how to proceed when it comes to interpreting the rules. To that end, here are six surprising rules that educators, administrators, parents and students might not know about website filtering in schools."
