One Laptop per Child: Disappointing results? - 1 views

  •  
    Blog post on ZDNET on the One Laptop Per Child program in Peru, and how it is not achieving the results desired/expected. From the article: "Why such results? The IDB concluded that OLPC does not provide enough guidance for teachers to show students how to effectively use the computers in class - and so the next item on the agenda should be improving teacher training"

This Time Its Personal -- THE Journal - 0 views

    "...for the most part, schools have incorporated these 21st century instructional techniques and tools as add-ons to the teacher-centric 19th century classroom structure, in which the majority of the curriculum is pulled from a textbook, and, despite best intentions, most students learn the same thing in the same way at the same time. Enter personalized learning, a student-centered teaching and learning model that acknowledges and accommodates the range of abilities, prior experiences, needs, and interests of each student--with the goal of moving every student to a higher standard of achievement. It's not a particularly new theory (versions of it have been around since the 19th century), but it has gained currency among many of today's education thought leaders, particularly because technology seems to be ready to do its part to provide a more personalized learning environment for every student."

Free Technology for Teachers: Teaching in a 1:1 Environment in Maine - Guest Post - 1 views

  • The trap too many of us fall in to with technology is that we’re just doing the same things we’ve always done, except now there’s a computer involved. Sure, there are some “21st Century Skills” that students achieve (often times we falsely assume through osmosis), but at the end of the day, showing video clips on Youtube is no different than popping a video in the old VCR.
