who gets the most out of educational technology? - 0 views

  • With the spread of educational technology, they predicted, “the not-so-small disparities in skills for children of affluence and children of poverty are about to get even larger.”
  • Granted access to technology, affluent kids and poor kids use tech differently. They select different programs and features, engage in different types of mental activity, and come away with different kinds of knowledge and experience.
  • “Matthew Effect”:
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Some studies of the introduction of technology have found an overall negative effect on academic achievement—and in these cases, poor students’ performance suffers more than that of their richer peers.
  • Why would improved access to the Internet harm the academic performance of poor students in particular? Vigdor and his colleagues speculate that “this may occur because student computer use is more effectively monitored and channeled toward productive ends in more affluent homes.”
  • mproving the way that technology is employed in learning is an even bigger and more important issue. Addressing it would require a focus on people: training teachers, librarians, parents and children themselves to use computers effectively.
  • And it would require a focus on knowledge: background knowledge that is both broad and deep.

44 Better Ways To Use Smartphones In The Classroom - 1 views

    • Carole Redline
       
      Gosh, this is truly overwhelming with so many ideas. Just reading through this makes my head swim. The challenge of the day is to find just one idea that might hold promise. I bet like potato chips you can't eat just one. 
    • Carole Redline
       
      Here is the most important part....I could not disagree me. 
  • I believe the potential of smartphones, supported by a strong classroom management system, can be summed up with what I call “The Five C’s.” Collaborate, communicate, create and coordinate/curate. Of the forty-four ideas below regarding smartphones, twelve can be accomplished with a simple cellphone. Take a look below at this enormous potential.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • I could not disagree more with the above quotation. Although there is no doubt the very same scenarios mentioned in the above article are occurring in various classrooms around the globe, I now encourage all students to bring their cellphones or smartphones to class. Just a few years prior, my colleagues and I were struggling mightily with how to integrate the crafty handheld tools.
  • The potential damage stemming from heightened cell phone use during class casts a pall on the entire educational system, on the school atmosphere, on the educational achievements of the class, on the pupil’s own learning experience and on the teacher’s burnout having to cope with discipline problems in class.’”
  • Write on-the-go during a field trip or active lesson on campus with Tripline.
  • Send students reminders in-class/after-class through ClassParrot and Remind 101.
  • Have a silent discussion via Todaysmeet.com.
  • Establish a Twitter class account to share class assignments and reminders. If students do not want a Twitter account, make it easy. Embed the Twitter feed on your teacher page.
  • Create a mini-presentation, skit, or formal response to a prompt and e-mail the video to teacher’s Posterous blog spot.
  • Use the stopwatch and timer apps to manage class time.
