      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.

    Okay, I admit that I rebelled against joining Twitter for the longest time.  I had friends and family members urging me to join.  I often said, "Why should I join another social networking site?  I have not used MySpace for a while  and am quite happy with Facebook."  Those who were part of the Twitter community kept insisting that I join because in their words it was better than Facebook.  I had no idea what I was missing on Twitter.  Months would pass and I was quite determined that I did not need Twitter.  I was fine without it.  I kept social networking for my personal life.  I did not see why I needed it otherwise.

    You can use Google Analytics if you want to see the number of actions such as Facebook likes, Google +1s and tweets that you're getting by source. For these steps to work, you must have current versions of the Facebook like button and Google + widgets running on your site.

  • 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."

    "Andy Phippen, professor of social responsibility at Plymouth University, said sexting - where schoolchildren are encouraged to take explicit photographs of themselves and send to other pupils - was a problem in most schools, despite the study revealing that 89% of parents believe their child has not been touched by cyberbullying or sexting."
