Education Week: Q&A: Quest for 'Digital Wisdom' Hinges on Brains and Machines - 0 views

  • So the sense is that wisdom, in the future, is putting together symbiotically what the brain does best and what machines do even better.
  • One of the ways is to be a little tolerant. All technology breaks down. When our cars break down, we don’t immediately get back on horses. And we don’t teach horseback riding in school. When technology breaks down, we fix it and move on.
  • we have to figure out how to use the technology in a way that is powerful and not trivial.

  • 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

    This article breaks down some of the concepts that go into digital literacy.

What Is Education For? - 2 views

      This is hard to swallow; seems very pessimistic about human nature.
  • It makes far better sense to reshape ourselves to fit a finite planet than to attempt to reshape the planet to fit our infinite wants.
  • What can be said truthfully is that some knowledge is increasing while other kinds of knowledge are being lost.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.
  • But capitalism has also failed because it produces too much, shares too little, also at too high a cost to our children and grandchildren.
  • First, all education is environmental education. By what is included or excluded we teach students that they are part of or apart from the natural world.
  • The goal of education is not mastery of subject matter, but of one’s person.
    • Emily Wampler
       
      Wow.  Love this quote, and agree whole-heartedly.
  • knowledge carries with it the responsibility to see that it is well used in the world.
  • Each of these tragedies were possible because of knowledge created for which no one was ultimately responsible. T
  • we cannot say that we know something until we understand the effects of this knowledge on real people and their communities.
  • In this instance what was taught in the business schools and economics departments did not include the value of good communities or the human costs of a narrow destructive economic rationality that valued efficiency and economic abstractions above people and community.
  • 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.
  • Process is important for learning.
  • My point is simply that education is no guarantee of decency, prudence, or wisdom.
  • he modern drive to dominate nature.
  • Ignorance is not a solvable problem, but rather an inescapable part of the human condition. The advance of knowledge always carries with it the advance of some form of ignorance.

Shaping Tech for the Classroom | Edutopia - 1 views

  • I would even include writing, creating, submitting, and sharing work digitally on the computer via email or instant messaging in the category of doing old things (communicating and exchanging) in old ways (passing stuff around).
  • But new technology still faces a great deal of resistance. Today, even in many schools with computers, Luddite administrators (and even Luddite technology administrators) lock down the machines, refusing to allow students to access email.
  • Two big factors stand in the way of our making more and faster progress in technology adoption in our schools. One of these is technological, the other social.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The missing technological element is true one-to-one computing, in which each student has a device he or she can work on, keep, customize, and take home

  • But resisting today's digital technology will be truly lethal to our children's education. They live in an incredibly fast-moving world significantly different than the one we grew up in.
  • These "digital natives" are born into digital technology. Conversely, their teachers (and all older adults) are "digital immigrants."
  • So, let's not just adopt technology into our schools. Let's adapt it, push it, pull it, iterate with it, experiment with it, test it, and redo it, until we reach the point where we and our kids truly feel we've done our very best.
  •  
    This relates to what we talked about in class- barriers to technology advances in the classroom.

    Oh I really like their step by step process to eventually be a teacher using new things in new ways. It makes this journey to learn technology more manageable!

How Students View Digital Citizenship | Edudemic - 0 views

  • We leave a digital trail of breadcrumbs and establish our digital selves by sharing, commenting, and communicating like never before
  • Digital Citizenship is a principle that helps users understand how to utilize technology in an appropriate way
  • But in classrooms, teachers monitor the activities of students as they always have. In regards to students adding or accessing inappropriate content, we have software that reports this information to us.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • f students violate our acceptable use policy, we have ramifications that range from loss of Internet access to suspension
  • However, the bigger issue is education and letting students know that these comments will become part of their digital footprint and could hamper them down the road

    This article gives information about digital citizenship from the perspective of a teacher and school principle.
