Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students - 0 views

technology education classroom motivation effects

shared by Allie on 06 Sep 12 - Cached
  • When students are using technology as a tool or a support for communicating with others, they are in an active role rather than the passive role of recipient of information transmitted by a teacher, textbook, or broadcast.
  • The teacher is no longer the center of attention as the dispenser of information, but rather plays the role of facilitator, setting project goals and providing guidelines and resources, moving from student to student or group to group, providing suggestions and support for student activity

    This was both interesting and helpful. All teacher especially teachers who believe technology should not be in the classroom should understand the benefits of technology. Motivation is one benefit that stuck out to me because it makes sense to use modern tools to help students accomplish more and want to learn.

      ie Can-Do descriptors, especially important for ELLs
  • Use classroom helpers or “employees” to help you run the room so you are free to teach.
  • use proximity and language to sort out what’s happening. Do it with a neutral tone of voice and with a smile on your face whenever possible.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Design lessons and activities that give kids freedom, choice and fun.
  • Collaborate like crazy. Great teachers are social, reflective, proud but not egotistical and always open to improvement.
  • Teacher burnout isn’t a myth, it’s a reality.
  • Carve out two nights a week and one whole weekend day for yourself and nothing else.
  • Have courage to teach boldy, with creativity, and beyond the test.
  • Go forward and do that thing you were born to do: TEACH!

  • How about electronic publishing? Try reading a book on disc. At best, it's an unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a clunky computer replaces the friendly pages of a book. And you can't tote that laptop to the beach. Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.
  • Bah. These expensive toys are difficult to use in classrooms and require extensive teacher training
  • o how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet—which there isn't—the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople.

  • Teens share considerably more information online than their parents and, as a result, expose themselves to more risk
  • The encouraging results suggest that American parents and teens are actively managing their online reputations—and with an eye toward good digital citizenship
  • Stephanie McGuire on 05 Sep 12
     
    Mostly relating to secondary students; however it is important to learn what older students (those that will impact our younger students) are doing with technology and knowing they want to maintain good online reputations.

    Awesome first sentence that could be used in an elementary school classroom in the beginning of the year to define a digital citizen.

      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.

      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.

    This article was written 20 years ago, but still holds interesting and relevant information about the purpose of education.

  • 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.

  • 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.
