    This is a good article that talks about how technology can and should be used in our classrooms. It also talks about ways that technology may actually harm the lessons.

I think diversity is something that grossly underrated how we learn directly related to were raised and the things go through on a daily basis. It's difficult be taught one way at home come school it completely different.

    Essays on Teaching | By: Catherine Balmeo (02/13/12) Views: 880 One of the challenges that educators face at present is on how to address the students' diversity in the classroom. Dr. Silver emphasized on the students' diversity that encompass readiness, gender, culture, home environment, learning styles, intelligence preferences and interest (Laureate,2007).

    As a parent and PTO President I found this article very interesting. It discuss' how budget cuts have made it harder for schools to operate and get money for the extra programs that keep students interested. It gave a few examples of ways to raise money without doing the cookie cutter fundraisers.

    This article is about how teachers have become dissatisfied with the way they are being evaluated. What's worse is that the evaluations are coming at a time when budgets are being slashed and layoffs are up.

      If school districts enforced more use of technology we would be ok and heading on the right track.  There is just a lack of support of the use of technology in schools today.
  • Wireless technology enables, empowers, and engages learning in ways that transform the learning environment for students inside and outside of school. It provides new content and facilitates information access wherever a student is located
  • As a country, we need to educate the next generation of scientists, inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Educating a workforce that is effective in a global context and adaptive as new jobs and roles evolve will help to support our economic growth. Mobile learning makes it possible to extend education beyond the physical confines of the classroom and beyond the fixed time periods of the school day. It allows students to access content from home, communicate with teachers, and work with other people online. The value of mobile devices is that they allow students to connect, communicate, collaborate and create using rich digital resources, according to paper.

      As a country, we need to support the use of technology in the schools.  If we do students are interacting with technology everyday and learning from it.  Also, learning how to use.  When they are ready to go out into the real world, then they have a glimpse on how to use technology.  Parents should also encourage students to use technology at home.

Education 3.0: Embracing Technology to 'Jump the Curve' | Innovation Insights | Wired.com - 0 views

shared by David Rutledge on 27 Sep 13 - No Cached
  • Education 3.0 is what I believe we can aspire to so as to educate our students, at all levels, in ways that actually promote 21st-century skills and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow (aka, the jobs that don’t exist today but which will be required in the future). It’s the coming together of creativity, outcomes, critical thinking, big data, personalization, and much more. For me, it’s really the confluence of three crucial education elements: Neuroscience, Cognitive (Learning) Psychology, and Education Technology. And so, in this first blog post, I will begin to discuss the infrastructure for Education 3.0: Education Technology.
  • From Pencils to Personalized Learning: What is Ed Tech? Ed Tech has taken on a whole new meaning in the last two decades. While some might argue that Ed Tech began with the humble pencil, I’m really talking about technology that is web-based, digital, and/or mobile. I’m talking about websites, apps, LMS’, hardware, software, and anything else with an ‘e’ in front of it. I’m talking big data, little data, personalization, and machine learning. I’m talking about dashboards, on-demand reports, and visualizations of information. Education technology has changed what we can deliver, how we can assess, and how we might connect learners to each other, to instructors, and to content. And that connection changes … well, everything.
  • the education sector is focusing far too much about what existed yesterday, some about what exists today, and very little about what will exist tomorrow. He challenged the “Choice Architects” of today to stop creating employees for the jobs of yesterday and start focusing on careers of tomorrow.

  • The point is, the lower the usage of technology in classrooms, the harder it is to teach 21st century skills. When academics ignore a future that is not just technology intensive, but dependent, our graduates go into life under-prepared (if not unprepared) to work, live, and thrive.

      Important knowledge that is gained in the classroom is learning to communicate in person. Students will learn by the teacher's example, along with their interactions with peers within the classrooms.
  • By its very nature, technology changes at a fast pace and making it accessible to pupils, teachers and other stakeholders is an ongoing challenge.
    • Ashleigh Clark
      Ashleigh Clark on 03 Oct 13
       
      Not every person has access to technology now days because it costs money.
  • Schools of the future could have a traditional cohort of students, as well as online only students who live across the country or even the world. Things are already starting to move this way with the emergence of massive open online courses (MOOCs).

      Ashleigh Clark on 03 Oct 13
       
      I feel that in the future there will be more online schools and that in the actual classroom students and teachers will be more interactive with each other.

      This just shows all the ways the cloud can be used for teachers and even students.

      I agree that education is continually changing and technology is where we are seeing a lot of the rapid changes and developments.
  • Games get pupils more engaged, says Nt Etuk, the founder of DimensionU, which develops interactive games to teach mathematics and science. A lot of programming, design and artistry go into creating apps where students can compete with or assist each other, and which reward successful activity.
    • kristel coulter
      kristel coulter on 27 Sep 13
       
      Playing games that are geared toward math and science helps to aid in the teaching concepts of these subjects
  • Persuading schools to buy is only the first step, though. America’s teaching unions fear a hidden agenda of replacing properly trained humans with some combination of technology and less qualified manpower, or possibly just technology. Unions have filed lawsuits to close down online charter schools, including what looks like a deliberately obtuse proposal to limit enrolment at such virtual schools to those who live in their districts.

      There is always going to be room for improvement in the classroom. From the teacher to the technology.
  • wikis to podcasts to training videos, are allowing both children and adults to pursue education on their own, either instead of learning in schools or colleges or as a supplement.
  • Teaching programs that monitor children’s progress can change that, performing a role more like that of the private tutors and governesses employed long ago in wealthier households.

    I love Pinterest, it is one of my many obsessions so immediately I was attracted to this article. I believe Pinterest is an extremely useful tool, especially in a classroom. I use it mainly for crafting and creating, rather than news and media things, so rarely will I ever be worrying about copyright issues. I do understand, however, that it can cause some major issues. I don't believe I will have students necessarily be using this site, it will be more for my use. Pinterest offers great ideas through personal blogs that others share for the public use. This article showed me that there are consequences that come with some of the criteria though.

    This is an interesting article. I really like that it said the education field is playing catch-up. I think with the number of teachers retiring on time due to the economy the new teachers are going to be able to change the world of technology in the education systems currently.

  • Patrick Irby-Allshouse on 20 Dec 13
     
    It is obvious that the hype for technology in classrooms is important, but the article does well to say that technology for students isn't the only important aspect to the new tools for students. Teachers need to know how to incorporate the technology into their teaching so that it isn't JUST the technology the students are learning from.
