Co-designing communication solutions - 0 views

  • How about school-home texting? We’re asking parents if they’d want it. Could we video the next workshop and put it online? Or maybe literacy tips are best shared face-to-face: a teacher, another parent, and I brainstormed together about turning a typical parent breakfast into a Literacy Breakfast that would get the reading tips directly to parents who could ask immediate questions of teacher and literacy coach.

iPhone and Education - Johnsen's Tech Exploration - 3 views

  •  
    The cost of an Iphone now is very close to the cost of a net book or a solid state computer. I think we should also explore the option of investing in bandwidth and filtering so that students can bring their own computers to school. The cost is not that different from phones now, students can mass personalize their computer, and then there is no issue with personal overlap. It's their computer. With cloud computing, students just have access to their Google accounts through bandwidth, not the network. Food for thought.

    You and I see the value in this and many school board members do as well. We have to help our communities understand the value. I worked with a board the other night that totally gets the need for integrating technology into the curriculum. Their concern was the community: "They think paper and pencil is good enough." You cannot ignore this perspective, because if enough people in your community agree with that idea, you will lose the tech supporter board members at election time. This turnover in leadership does not lead to long-term systemic change (which needs to include the integration of technology).

      I find all of this fascinating and at the same time wonder what it means for those who are not connected. The conversation about social media seems like a white, middle-class one to me. Yet our society is becoming increasingly diverse and, at least in Wisconsin, poorer. What are the consequences of all of this interconnectivity on those who are not able to participate?

      We've been talking about this for years, the anywhere, any time, all the time type of approach, which now is better facilitated by easy interface access.

      I would argue that it transforms our conception of "local." Now, local isn't physically limited, it's digitally liberated.

Don Tapscott: New York Times Cover Story on "Growing Up Digital" Misses the Mark - 0 views

  • blaming the Internet is like blaming the library for illiteracy.
  • Net Geners are not content to sit mutely and listen to a teacher talk. Kids who have grown up digital expect to be able to respond, to have a conversation. They want a choice in their education, in terms of what they learn, when they learn it, where, and how. They want their education to be relevant to the real world, the one they live in. They want it to be interesting, even fun.
