  • If we are encouraging more use of 1:1 devices, we should also be encouraging more sharing of learning experiences.

      Just what we were talking about in class about the "Paradox of Technology"
  • At the same time, many schools continue to demonize cell phone use during school, which may be an outdated policy. Not only are there an increasing number of educational applications for mobiles but, as Blake-Plock suggests, prohibiting phones now means "disconnecting the kid from what's actually happening in most of our lives."

      Related to "Bring Your Own Device" discussion -- what does increasing technology mean in the classroom?  Can teachers compete with phone apps?
  • Students who are excluded from the digital universe know exactly what they're missing

  • "The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: Those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not."

      Something interesting to keep in mind as a teacher:  besides support from families, what digital/technological support do some students have access to and others don't?
  • This refers to literacy, not only with hardware and software but also with the vast global conversation that the Internet enables.
  • Only when there's equal opportunity for everyone to become literate in these technologies so that they're creating and not just consuming content can we begin to imagine closing the digital divide.
  • It's whether communities can leverage the capacity of networks to make learning more authentic and powerful for students.

  • Why do we stick to one subject for each lesson, when in fact all subjects have links across the entire curriculum.
  • Today, I argued, we need to prepare children for flexible working and agile thinking, where their employment may well be highly mobile and location independent. They will need to acquire critical thinking and problem solving skills, and will need to be highly digitally literate. They will need to be creative and will need to know how to innovate. They will need to know how to self organise, and also work in distributed teams, where the other members of that team may be connected over great distance through technology. They will need to gain an appreciation that change is an opportunity rather than a threat, and that a lifetime of work may encompass a portfolio career of several different jobs, requiring different skill-sets. They will need to be lifelong learners.
  • I asked why we still use ICT suites, which send a message to the children that 'this is where we do computing'.

    Short little article that seems prophetic in the author's take on what skills will be important for students to have for future careers.  He also asks some interesting questions about the way things have always been done...
