"It's important that they understand that they may bring a lot of technical
expertise, but that they have a lot to learn from the [other] teachers in
schools in terms of pedagogy and content," she says. Thompson also concedes that
higher ed has been guilty of paying too much attention to the devices
themselves. "We all did at first: 'If we just teach teachers how to use
technology, they'll figure out how to teach with it.' Although it was an
understandable approach, it really wasn't the approach we should be taking."

I think we all realize that the last few lines are not accurate for our group. I feel we all now realize that knowing how to use the technology is useless unless you can connect it to the classroom.

"In the state of Michigan, every high school student must have at least one online class experience for graduation," Brady says. "What I say to my students is, 'How can we have that as a high school requirement if we've never walked in their shoes?' We have to take an online class to be in a better position to train our students so they'll be ready for that online experience."

The class I am teaching in the Spring for Wilson College requires a mix of f2f and online. They use Moodle. I feel that an online experience will be a requirement for every student prior to graduation in the future here in PA.

Wolfram|Alpha: The Use Cases - 0 views

Stephen Wolfram told Chronicle.com that computer-algebra systems like Wolfram|Alpha actually improve education - because they allow students to explore complex problems on their own and intuitively determine how functions work, rather than just learn rote processes. Wolfram claimed that "it's better to let them [students] stand on that platform and go further."

Graduation exam compromise earning mixed grades - 0 views
-
The latest version of Keystone Exams calls for the state to provide 10 end-of-course exams, beginning with English literature, Algebra 1 and biology in 2010-11, with other subjects being phased in through 2016-17. The state would ask the federal government to permit the first three to be used to satisfy the No Child Left Behind Act beginning in 2012-13, thus enabling the state to discontinue the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment exams in 11th grade.
-
For graduation purposes, school districts would need to count the exams for at least one-third of a student's final grade or districts could use validated local assessments or Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exams instead.

In defending this exam idea, one person said that she felt it was BETTER to give these tests than one PSSA test every three years. "Wouldn't you rather take the test when you can still remember the material?" Hmmm. Think about that for a couple of minutes.

Stage 1 Immersion: Immerse yourself into networks. Create any and all networks you can find where there are people and ideas to connect to. Collaboration and connections take off.

How can we convince teachers to try this?

great way to bring teachers and students together -
Get them to attend more PD conferences. -
I worry a bit that teachers who are just starting might be overwhelmed if they join "any and all" -- perhaps we could help them pick a smaller number of highly effective and friendly networks?

The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not.

I like this quote. Once considerd a factor fo wealth is now considered a factor of education. That's a game-changing phrase if you agree with it. Wouldn't you agree?

Once seen as an isolating influence, technology is now recognized as a primary way to stay in touch and take control of one’s own learning.
-
In order for technology to enable students (of all ages) to take control of their own learning, what kind of tools must be open? Does YOUR school's network truly enable students to take control of their learning?
