The Digital Divide is Still A Problem by Bonnie Bracey Sutton - 0 views

    Scroll down for an interesting graph showing internet usage continent by continent. My favourite quote, "So every time someone says "Just go online and…" they are leaving out one in five U.S. residents, and two thirds of the people around the world."

Disrupting Class: Student-Centric Education Is the Future | Edutopia - 0 views

  • 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

How the iPad Can Transform Classroom Learning | Edutopia - 3 views

  •  
    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.
