education teaching teachers technology

  • Technology doesn't teach. Teachers teach.
  • All of us involved in education received the same mandate this past winter from President Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan: to replace traditional, static textbooks with dynamic, interactive digital textbooks within the next five years. Several organizations have accepted this challenge enthusiastically and are partnering with districts every day to help transform classrooms into the digital learning environments our leaders envision. But the process is complicated.
  • We have seen the power of new technology in practice, especially when used by effectively trained teachers. In an initiative to replace traditional social studies textbooks, those students using digital tools in the Indianapolis Public Schools system, in which 85 percent of students are enrolled in subsidized lunch programs, had a 27 percent higher passing rate on statewide progress tests than students in classrooms that were not plugged in. Students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools who used digital resources achieved a 7 percent increase in their science FCAT (Florida's Comprehensive Assessment Test) exams. And students of the Mooresville Graded School District in North Carolina increased their performance on state exams by 13 percent over three short years, thanks to digital content and passionate, technology literate teachers

  • North Carolina's Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) perfectly illustrates both the power of effective teacher training and technology. Since 2008, CMS has provided digital science resources to Title I schools -- schools with a high concentration of students living in poverty. Along with digital content, the district provided teachers with ongoing professional development designed to show them how to build engaging lessons, enhance their current curriculum and inspire students by integrating digital media, hardware and software. The professional development, however, was not mandatory. The results could not have been clearer: The students of teachers who opted into the professional development not only closed the achievement gap between themselves and students from Title I schools that did not have the same technology, they also outperformed the non-Title I schools, amassing a 57 percent passing rate on the state's end-of-year standardized science tests, compared to the 43 percent passing rate of those from wealthier schools. These are some of the most disadvantaged students in the state, remember, and yet they caught up to -- and surpassed -- students from more affluent schools.

    One of the coolest points - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools provided technology resources to Title I schools, and made professional development to integrate technology into the classroom optional. Those teachers who participated in the professional development not only closed the achievement gap, but also outperformed non-Title I schools in the area.

  • ...17 more annotations...
  • definition in its publication Digital Literacy
  • To be digitally literate is to have access to a broad range of practices and cultural resources that you are able to apply to digital tools. It is the ability to make and share meaning in different modes and formats; to create, collaborate and communicate effectively and to understand how and when digital technologies can best be used to support these processes.
  • The challenge is how we as teachers can foster digital literacy in all areas of the school curriculum
  • it is our responsibility to ensure children are not only confident users but can also make informed decisions about the use of such digital technologies to help them in their learning
  • How can we ensure that our learners are digitally literate?
  • We can help children understand their role in the wider community and how they will have an effect on it. What they say becomes incredibly important when you begin to use digital tools to publish their content online for the world to see
  • Don’t envisage this as how your learners will use digital tools but how they will use their own cognitive tools to do so
  • In today’s digital world children have a multitude of ways to communicate that are more or less digital variations of those tools 30 years previously.
  • developing links and strengthening those bonds by fostering projects and interaction is the next step
  • Go with what the learners suggest, follow up their questions even if it isn’t in your panning
  • Learners today need to know which tools are the best to communicate the message they want to say, they need to make deliberate and informed choices that recognise what these digital communication tools can do and how best to utilise them.
  • You want a class of learners that will know which tools will get the job done effectively and which tools will only hold them back
  • Never before has a learner been presented with so much choice to draw a picture – from pencil and paper to digital pens and paper on a tablet device
  • owever the creative potential is being held back by teachers who are either not prepared to use these tools in their class due to other ill conceived curriculum pressures or they just don’t know how.
  • How do we know it is written by the author claiming it to be so? We need to develop critical awareness and thinking
  • Children cannot go on accepting the first result they receive from a search
  • Digital Literacy must be developed across every part of the curriculum and not just ICT and our learners must be given the freedom to do so in schools today

      And wonder where they get the idea that "funds are plentiful" in education?  Hmm...
  • The greatest challenge is moving beyond the glitz and pizzazz of the flashy technology to teach true literacy in this new milieu. Using the same skills used for centuries—analysis, synthesis, and evaluation—we must look at digital literacy as another realm within which to apply elements of critical thinking.
    • Emily Wampler
      Emily Wampler on 31 Aug 12
       
      This is really true; just because students may be "digitally savvy" doesn't mean they are competent/scholarly users of these digital technologies.  
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Digital literacy represents a person’s ability to perform tasks effectively in a digital environment, with “digital” meaning information represented in numeric form and primarily for use by a computer. Literacy includes the ability to read and interpret media (text, sound, images), to reproduce data and images through digital manipulation, and to evaluate and apply new knowledge gained from digital environments. According to Gilster,5 the most critical of these is the ability to make educated judgments about what we find online.
    • Emily Wampler
      Emily Wampler on 31 Aug 12
       
      It's interesting how they emphasize the higher orders of thinking here-analyze, judge, apply, evaluate, etc.  There's probably lots of room for creative thinking within digital literacy, too.  
  • Visual literacy, referred to at times as visual competencies, emerges from seeing and integrating sensory experiences. Focused on sorting and interpreting—sometimes simultaneously—visible actions and symbols, a visually literate person can communicate information in a variety of forms and appreciate the masterworks of visual communication.6 Visually literate individuals have a sense of design—the imaginative ability to create, amend, and reproduce images, digital or not, in a mutable way. Their imaginations seek to reshape the world in which we live, at times creating new realities. According to Bamford,7 “Manipulating images serve[s] to re-code culture.”
    • Emily Wampler
      Emily Wampler on 31 Aug 12
       
      Ah ha!  There's the bit about creative thinking.  They just give it a different name: visual literacy.  
  • Competency begins with understanding
  • The idea that the world we shape in turn shapes us is a constant.
  • In the end, it seems far better to have the skills and competencies to comprehend and discriminate within a common language than to be left out, unable to understand
    • Emily Wampler
      Emily Wampler on 31 Aug 12
       
      I think this definitely is true, and is a good reason why we need to incorporate digital literacy in the classroom. 
  • the concept of literacy has assumed new meanings.
  • Children learn these skills as part of their lives, like language, which they learn without realizing they are learning it.3
  • A common scenario today is a classroom filled with digitally literate students being led by linear-thinking, technologically stymied instructors.
  • Although funds may be plentiful

  • What is desperately needed are faculty and administrators who provide role models of integrity, care, thoughtfulness, and institutions that are capable of embodying ideals wholly and completely in all of their operations.

  • Edhtena is a technology platform that's focused on schools. And yet, schools sometimes don't have the right technology upgrades to support technology like Edthena.  Sure, the computers are powerful enough. Sure, the internet bandwidth is there. But the software -- mainly the browser -- that users have may not deliver the best experience.  This is why we're so excited by Microsoft's announcement to automatically update Internet Explorer for all users. LOTS of schools are still running LOTS of computers with Windows XP with old versions of IE. Now, teachers won't have to worry about what version software they have. And IT departments won't have to worry about capacity to update everyone over time.  Everybody wins here. Thank you, Microsoft.

  • The “higher” needs, levels 5 to 7, focus on the cultural cohesion and values alignment; mutually beneficial alliances and partnerships with other schools and the local community; and a strong focus on social responsibility. The emphasis at these higher levels is on enhancing the common good of all stakeholders—students, employees, parents, the local community, and society at large. Abraham Maslow referred to these as “growth” needs. When these needs are fulfilled they do not go away. They engender deeper levels of commitment and motivation.
