  • Begin every activity with a task that 95 percent of the class can do without your help. Get your students used to the fact that when you say, "Please begin," they should pick up a pencil and start working successfully.

  • 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...

      This seems like a case of 1. a miscommunication between professor expectations for collaboration and student understanding of these expectations and 2. students being led to believe that little to no work could be done and an a would be received

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • the added visual and audio effects, video games deliver information to students’ brains in a much more effective envelope.
  • research has shown that educational video games can increase student achievement, as well as spatial reasoning skills, compared to more traditional instruction.
  • Mission-based video games are about more than just getting students to memorize facts. Video games have been shown to teach literacy, problem-solving, perseverance, and collaboration.
  • Most video games offer students opportunities to both gain knowledge and, more importantly, immediately utilize that knowledge to solve a problem.
  • This immediate application of knowledge, coupled with the inherent fun of video games, engages and motivates students far better than many traditional lessons could. Students become problem solvers who can think through complex missions to find the best possible solution.
  • And because students are so motivated to find a solution, they will often take risks they might otherwise be too scared to take in the classroom.
  • Not only is he gaining valuable collaborative and leadership skills, he’s also becoming a true global citizen.
  • With any in-class activity, our job as teachers is to help students transfer that knowledge so they can use it in scenarios outside of that day’s lesson. The same goes for educational games.
  • Because students were in the lab, they weren’t bored enough to cause trouble during their down-time. Plus, teachers started seeing some intriguing self-regulation habits take form. With a limited number of controllers, students were politely asking and offering to take turns in the game lab, without adult intervention. And the lab attracted a variety of kids — girls, boys, special education students, kids from all socio-economic backgrounds. Students who normally never interacted were playing together.
  • School leaders contend that by building video games that work, students begin to understand complex systems, which will give them valuable knowledge as they enter the workforce.

Digital Literacy Includes Learning to Unplug - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  • The new digital divide isn’t between children who have access to computers and devices and those who do not. It’s between kids whose parents are saying “turn that thing off” and those whose parents don’t limit their access — because they don’t know how, or because they’re not available to do it.
  • Instead of closing the achievement gap,” said the author of the Kaiser study, “they’re widening the time-wasting gap.”
  • The F.C.C. is considering creating a “digital literacy corps” to teach productive uses of the computer and Internet to students, parents and job seekers

    "A study published in 2010 by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children and teenagers whose parents do not have a college degree spent 90 minutes more per day exposed to media than children from higher socioeconomic families"... why is this? Parents busy working? Lack of resources (e.g. books)? Home environment (e.g. no yard to play in outside)?
  • Stephanie McGuire on 06 Sep 12
     
    Thank you for sharing the original article, very interesting and well written! What a difference in time wasted per day. I would agree with your ideas of why that might be. So I certainly think a digital literacy core could be a helpful and useful investment! I also think education for parents is just as important as students to learn to use the Internet to learn new information and be creative.
