Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.
-
I aggree that as teachers we need to realize that technology has changed instruction and the way that our students learn and the way that we learn and instruct.
-
Technology has always changed the way we live. How did we respond to changes in the past? One thought is that some institutions, some businesses disappeared, while others, who took advantage of the new tech, appeared to replace the old. It will happen again and we as educators need to lead the way.
-
With technology our students brains are wired differently and they can multi-task and learn in multiple virtual environments all at once. This should make us think about how we present lessons, structure learning and keep kids engaged.
-
Rubbish. The idea that digital native are adept at multitasking is wrong. They may be doing many things but the quality and depth is reduced. There is a significant body of research to support this. Development of grit and determination are key attributes of successful people. Set and demand high standards. No one plays sport or an instrument because it is easy rather because they can clearly see a link between hard work and pleasure.

Occupy Your Brain - 111 views
-
One of the most profound changes that occurs when modern schooling is introduced into traditional societies around the world is a radical shift in the locus of power and control over learning from children, families, and communities to ever more centralized systems of authority.
-
Once learning is institutionalized under a central authority, both freedom for the individual and respect for the local are radically curtailed. The child in a classroom generally finds herself in a situation where she may not move, speak, laugh, sing, eat, drink, read, think her own thoughts, or even use the toilet without explicit permission from an authority figure.
-
In what should be considered a chilling development, there are murmurings of the idea of creating global standards for education – in other words, the creation of a single centralized authority dictating what every child on the planet must learn.

Carol Black, creator of the documentary, "Schooling the World" discusses the conflicting ideas of centralized control of education and standardization against the so-called freedom to think independently--"what the Supreme Court has termed 'the sphere of intellect and spirit" (Black, 2012). Root questions: "who's educating us? to what end?" (Black, 2012).
-
This is a must read. Carol Black echoes here many of the ideas of Paulo Freire, John Taylor Gatto and the like.

Think Again: Education - By Ben Wildavsky | Foreign Policy - 31 views

But when the results from the first major international math test came out in 1967, the effort did not seem to have made much of a difference. Japan took first place out of 12 countries, while the United States finished near the bottom.

By the early 1970s, American students were ranking last among industrialized countries in seven of 19 tests of academic achievement and never made it to first or even second place in any of them. A decade later, "A Nation at Risk," the landmark 1983 report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education, cited these and other academic failings to buttress its stark claim that "if an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war."

Garth Holman & Mike Pennington Two middle school teachers Implementing 21st Century Skills: Collaboration, Risk-Taking, Reflection. - Blog - 63 views
-
Garth, Steph and I are currently listening to Alan November speak at a technology conference at Bowling Green State University. He started with a question: "what is the most important skill we should be teaching students?". Alan then said thathat the president of HSBC, West Point University and a college professor all said that it should be EMPATHY. Interesting talk Mr. November is giving about all the ways we, as teachers, should be using technology, but he is very pessimistic about teachers changing, giving students more control and bringing social networking into the classroom. Great talking points, lots to think about. More from the road as it occurs.

I read Harry Wong's First Days of School years ago. I bought in to his ideas on teaching rules and procedures for the first days of school. However, doing that on the first day of school made me just like everyone else. That is not me, I am not everyone else. I stand at the door and greet my students. At th

the first great thing about Diigo is that your bookmarks follow you wherever you go. When you bookmark a site using your Diigo account, you can have access to it at work, home, the computer lab or library. The other great thing is that once you bookmark it, you can share your book mark links with students and colleagues and they can all have access to your sites.
-
The next big plus to Diigo is that you get to “tag” the sites you want to bookmark. A tag is the classification system you determine so you can organize your bookmarks and find the link the next time you need it; this is known as a folksonomy.
-
On the sticky note the teacher could ask questions and Diigo allows people to comment and reply to the questions on the sticky note. Students could also add sticky notes for other students to comment on as well. Another way to use the highlighting tool is that students could go through an article and highlight all of the vocabulary that they didn’t know and learn what it means prior to reading the article. Or students could put sticky notes about questions they have when reading the text.

Vocational Education meets Research in the dynamic classroom of Linda Darling-Hammond, 2008. The students are doing the research, teaching and learning.

Technology Integration Matrix - 171 views
-
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003). The TIM associates five levels of technology integration (i.e., entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion, and transformation) with each of the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments. Together, the five levels of technology integration and the five characteristics of meaningful learning environments create a matrix of 25 cells.
