      This is a useful article because it makes the important distinction between EdTech and simply introducing technology into a classroom. Additionally, the conversational tone of the author makes the article easy to follow and effective in presenting different viewpoint.

    Interesting article that distinguishes EdTech from technology in classroom and analyses both.

TeachThought | 5 Resolutions To Modernize Your Teaching For 2014 - 0 views

  • You still need to plan the objectives of the lesson, but you can leave the activity unplanned. Start the lesson with a discussion  about the goals and objectives you want students to be working towards that day. Then, see where the conversation leads you!
  • Allow students to share their creativity by working on open-ended and mostly unstructured work. This can really help to target different learning types, as each student can choose what works best for them. Some may work in small groups, while others choose to work alone. At the end, each student or group should share their creation with the class. This makes for interesting presentations as the class is treated to a variety of skits, stories, newscast videos, or informational posters. The sky (and student imagination) should be the limit!

      This presentation is very useful for the beginning stages of this course. It is simple, straight-forward yet provides interesting insight and methods teachers can use to integrate technology in kindergarten classrooms! Great introduction to the topic matter.

  • Overcoming obstacles to effective differentiation
  • Many of the obstacles to implementing differentiated instruction can be overcome with the effective use of technology. Teachers who feel ill-prepared to address the diverse needs of their students, for example, have ready access to more options than ever before as a result of the wide range of software and hardware tools available. Technology can equip teachers to address students’ needs in an almost limitless number of ways, through content input, learning activities, and opportunities to demonstrate comprehension. And because many students come to the learning environment with a predisposition for using it seamlessly, technology can become an intermediary that bridges the relationship between teacher and student,

  • Teachers act more as facilitators, which allows for more individual attention to students who need attention and might otherwise behave inappropriately as a result.13
  • Before making the decision to use a particular technology for a particular lesson, teachers should first make decisions about the learning goals, activities, and assessments that will shape the learning experience. During the process of making these decisions, teachers can more easily envision opportunities to integrate one or more technologies.
  • Digital textbooks, both online and CD-based, offer options for accessing the same content at different levels of complexity. The digital format offers an advantage over traditional textbooks because digital publications can incorporate time-based and interactive media directly within the text.
  • Successful technology integration, however, relies on intelligent planning. Teachers must understand those variables they cannot control — students’ readiness, interest, and learning profile. Planning should begin by acknowledging those variables and understanding the learning goals. The selection of technology follows as a natural result, as teachers select appropriate tools for manipulating those variables they can control — content, process, product, and environment. Differentiated instruction designed with these principles in mind ensures classrooms that are rich centers of learning for all students.

      Interesting how it relates the traditional massive style of teaching to the Victorian age where all the students had to be taught at the same pace and exactly in the same way to guarantee massive production; not anymore!
  • a bit of history: to keep the world's military-industrial machine running at the zenith of the British Empire, Victorians assembled an education system to mass-produce workers with identical skills. Plucked from the classroom and plugged instantly into the system, citizens were churned through an educational factory engineered for maximum productivity.
  • We need a pedagogy free from fear and focused on the magic of children's innate quest for information and understanding. -- Sugata Mitra

      Our learners today are trapped in these tech era, in which we are the Digital Immigrants and our perspective, openness and technology flexibility is different. Understanding the needs and interest of our students will motivate and inspire their learning path!
  • The first thing the teacher needs to do is to understand what kids do and the range of it; she has to understand what her own children do.

  • Then you have a boss, which is a test, and you pass the test. (Games are) part of the solution of getting kids in school to learn not just knowledge as facts, but knowledge as something you produce. And in the modern world, you produce collaboratively."
  • Let them teach you how they engage with games and other digital media. Let them talk about it, reflect on it, because this is very good for their learning.

      These article highlights that our students need to focus on the learning process and then the technology tools selected to make the creation. That teachers are an important piece for students learning analysis and knowledge acquisition.
  • The second thing you can do is that you can find the resources and other people all over the web who are using a variety of digital tools in different settings and schools. Your setting might be very restrictive, or your setting might be very liberal, but you can go and find other people out there doing it."
  • Despite the popularity of the term "digital native," we should not assume that our students know how to use technology to create quality projects that show deep understanding of content.
  • herefore, technology integration may not look the way we want it to until our students move beyond familiarity with tools and into being able to choose the correct tool for the job.
  • "We cannot expect our students to jump in and create a meaningful piece of work that shows their applied understanding of a concept using a tech tool if we do not give them time to really explore not only the content, but the tool itself.
