  • what happens when and if those children become connected to the larger, global online community? It is not guaranteed that they will be ready to navigate etiquette and intellectual property rights on their own. It is dangerous for us to assume that there is such a thing as a "digital native."

  • While we increasingly assume that both children and their teachers have at least basic tech proficiency, we can't assume that either group knows how to use technology to further educational goals.

      This is an extremely important key concept in regard to thinking about where tech belongs and what kind of skills are important to emphasize within the context of curriculum
  • Integration is a matter of design, and produces considerable cognitive load on a learner. And in light of APIs, social media, and an array of smart mobile devices, is a kind of digital strategy
  • When the standard says “digital media,” it might as well say social media as it continues “to add interest,” a side-effect of making something non-social, social. students,” but rather requires learners to make complex decisions about how, when, and why to use technology–something educators must do as well.

  • Evaluation is near the top of Bloom’s taxonomy for a reason, necessitating that students make critical judgment calls about how information is presented and shared.
  • Collaboration forces students to plan, adopt, adapt, rethink, and revise, all higher-level practices.
  • demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.

      This is interesting...noting keyboarding skills may not be measured in WPM. True measure may be in regard to engagement and self-regulation.

  • Just like a carpenter chooses the right tool for the job, our students should have the opportunity to choose the right technology for their needs.
  • three different classes and we clearly need three different devices for our students.
  • As I listened to the conversation this week it struck me how much we handcuff students and teachers when we tell them what technology they are required to use.

  • If we are truly designing a student-centric learning environment and putting the students in the position to make meaningful decisions about their education, how can we justify deciding which device they are required to learn on?

  • When my 2nd grader needs to know the meaning of a word, I tell him to use my iPhone to ask Siri, an artificial intelligence program that's always happy to look it up for him. Siri, in turn, uses the free online program Wolfram Alpha, one of the most powerful data analysis tools in the world. If you enter into the Siri (or Wolfram Alpha) search box, by text or voice, "arable land in world divided by world population," in less than a second the phone or computer will find the relevant data; do the calculations; provide the answer—in square miles, acres, square feet, and hectares per person—and cite you its sources.
  • The only way to do almost all science today is with technology. No human can handle or analyze the volumes of data we now have and need. Ditto for the social sciences. The research study of the past focusing on 10 graduate students has been replaced by sample sizes of millions online around the world. Being perfect at language translation, spelling, and grammar is becoming less important for humans as machines begin to understand context and can access almost every translation ever done. Those who laugh at the mistakes that machines make today will no longer be laughing in a few short years.
  • call the process of envisioning such technically enhanced possibilities imag-u-cation. It's something every teacher and class should spend some time doing.

  • With YouTube, for example, students can post their ideas to the world and get rapid global feedback. With tools like Twitter and its cousins, they can follow firsthand details of events unfolding anywhere in the world, from revolutions to natural disasters. With mashups and related techniques, they can combine sophisticated data sources in powerful new ways. One school group I know of created a Second Life model of Los Angeles, using the database of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to show each plane flying in its actual spot! With Skype-like tools, students can connect with experts and peers around the world in real time.
  • Effective Thinking, which would include creative and critical thinking as well as portions of math, science, logic, persuasion, and even storytelling; Effective Action, which would include entrepreneurship, goal setting, planning, persistence, project management, and feedback; and Effective Relationships, which would include emotional intelligence, teamwork, ethics, and more.
  • Instead of today's focus on pre-established subject matter, with thinking skills presented randomly, haphazardly, and inconsistently, the student and teacher focus would always be on thinking in its various forms and on being an effective thinker, using examples from math, science, social studies, and language arts.
  • These would range from small projects in earlier years ("I made this app or this website") to larger projects ("I collaborated with a class in another country to publish a bilingual novel"; "I started a successful company") to participation in later years in huge, distributed projects around the world ("Using Galaxy Zoo, I discovered a new, habitable planet").
  • Producing effective letters, reports, and essays was an intellectual need of our past. Working effectively in virtual communities, communicating effectively through video, and controlling complex technologies are what students need to be successful in the future. Thinking, acting, relating, and accomplishing—in the technological and fast-changing context of the future—are where we should focus our students' attention.
  • No longer is the unenhanced brain the wisest thing on the planet. Students who don't have technology's powerful new capabilities at their command at every turn are not better 21st century humans but lesser ones.

    You think of technology as a tool," one high school student told me. "We think of it as a foundation; it underlies everything we do."

    This is excellent homework! This comment on Jason's blog post is fascinating, and it is so appropriate to MYP ATL skills. "The fact that I can meet with a needs-based group and say to them after a mini-lesson, "Find an app or something that will help you learn, practice, and transfer this skill or process," highlights this. Sometimes that is my homework. We speed share it in the morning, and everyone in the group uses it for independent practice and homework the next night. I'll make sure that this page on my blog gets priority before the end of our break. This is some of what our phenomenal Tech Director is helping us to find: http://elearning.sis.org.cn .
