  • 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."

  • Current Classrooms -- Teacher Centric: Standardization, which replaced personalization as public school enrollment rose in the late 1800s, still dictates the way subjects are taught
  • Future Classrooms -- Student Centric: This model utilizes the teacher as mentor, problem solver, and support person
  • Students partake in interactive learning with computers and other technology devices; teachers roam around as mentors and individual learning coaches; learning is tailored to each student's differences; students are engaged and motivated.

      Do test scores measure what has been added or transformed?
  • How can we start down the path to transform the classroom?
  • The classroom of today doesn't even look that much different from the classroom of thirty years ago
  • An organization's natural instinct is to cram the innovation into its existing operating model to sustain what it already does
  • target those who are not being served -- people we call nonconsumers. That way, all the new approach has to do is be better than the alternative -- which is nothing at all.
  • disrupts that trajectory by offering a product or service that actually is not as good as that which companies are already selling.
  • the disruptive innovation extends its benefits to people who, for one reason or another, are unable to consume the original product
  • Instead, we must find areas of nonconsumption to deploy computer-based learning where it will be unencumbered by existing education processes.
  • For computer-based learning to bring about a disruptive transformation, it must be implemented where the alternative is no class at all.
  • online learning is gaining hold in the advanced courses that many schools are unable to offer

    The teacher could have 30 students, all doing the same thing at the same time on their iPads, but this doesn't make sense either. The students have a powerful information tool in their hands, and as The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics require students to think critically and problem solve, there is no way that a teacher can get students to become independent learners in sync.

Shaping Tech for the Classroom | Edutopia - 0 views

  • In a growing number of simulations, ranging from the off-the-shelf SimCity and to Muzzy Lane's Making History to MIT's experimental Revolution and Supercharged, students -- even elementary school children -- can now manipulate whole virtual systems, from cities to countries to refineries, rather than just handling manipulatives.
  • In Education Simulations's Real Lives, children take on the persona of a peasant farmer in Bangladesh, a Brazilian factory worker, a police officer in Nigeria, a Polish computer operator, or a lawyer in the United States, among others, experiencing those lives based on real-world statistical data. Riverdeep's School Tycoon enables kids to build a school to their liking.
  • The missing technological element is true one-to-one computing, in which each student has a device he or she can work on, keep, customize, and take home. For true technological advance to occur, the computers must be personal to each learner. When used properly and well for education, these computers become extensions of the students' personal self and brain.

  • For the digital age, we need new curricula, new organization, new architecture, new teaching, new student assessments, new parental connections, new administration procedures, and many other elements.
  • First, consult the students.
  • But resisting today's digital technology will be truly lethal to our children's education. They live in an incredibly fast-moving world significantly different than the one we grew up in. The number-one technology request of today's students is to have email and instant messaging always available and part of school. They not only need things faster than their teachers are used to providing them, they also have many other new learning needs as well, such as random access to information and multiple data streams.
  • Dabbling. Doing old things in old ways. Doing old things in new ways. Doing new things in new ways.

    But new technology still faces a great deal of resistance. Today, even in many schools with computers, Luddite administrators (and even Luddite technology administrators) lock down the machines, refusing to allow students to access email. Many also block instant messaging, cell phones, cell phone cameras, unfiltered Internet access, Wikipedia, and other potentially highly effective educational tools and technologies, to our kids' tremendous frustration.
