    Despite the wealth of information available on the Internet, a recent study suggests that many students lack basic research skills. According to the latest Project Information Literacy Progress Report, 84 percent of students say that when it comes to course-based research, getting started is their biggest challenge.

    I love that technology has made education fun for students. Sometimes it is extremely hard to get a point across to a child, but by using resourceful tools such as play (physical education ) and video games that are fun and enjoyable, students are more likely to learn it and WANT to learn it. I really like this idea.

    I didn't know that special needs individuals have to work against their nature as they get older to engage in physical activity. I found that information to be very interesting and humbling. However, in regards to technology, I think it's awesome that students will be able to use video games for physical activity. It's a fun and successful way to engage the students.

    With this article I really do not agree with the concept. Gym and physical education to me are the only times children are able to become motivated and active in groups and individually. I do however like the idea of using it for children with disabilities because it gives them opportunities they never really before had. I would hate to see this be the next generation of gym class though for our regular education children as well.
  • Sadie Moser on 03 Oct 13
     
    I love that special needs classes are incorporating this "active" technology into their daily routines. I do not think this technology would be an adequate replacement for physical education in regular classrooms, but I do think it can be used as a reward or "field trip" in the classroom. It is a safe and cheap way to get students moving.

    I could not believe that reading this article, "More than one-third of U.S. adults (over 72 million people) and 17% of U.S. children are obese. Between 1980-2008, obesity rates doubled for adults and tripled for children." This is alarming! It is so crucial that we incorporate more physical activity with our students and their learning. It will not only keep their attention, but it will also help us as teachers keep them engaged and more focused. Enjoyed reading this article!

    I really like the idea of using games like the Wii for fitness but there is ways around all of it because it just requires the use of one hand. However there are other game systems out there that require your whole body to be interactive to score on the games. Is we are to use this great tool in the schools I feel that it should be one of those systems.

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

  • 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 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.

This means, 21 Toys' toys aren't so much the product; they make the air visible. The product is the discussion.

    I think we should connect school to real life. Students do not like school because they feel like they will never need it in real life. Instead of making school boring teachers should be as creative as they possibly can while fitting in the core standards. It will make our 8 to 9 hours days more exciting and our jobs easier because most students will WANT to be involved instead of being forced because their guardians put them on the bus that morning.
  • Carley Morrison on 26 Sep 13
     
    I think this article was important because it gave examples of how technology helps relate students to the real word.

But by connecting curriculum to real life situations through technology, students will be more willing to learn.

    This article really reflects my standards of education. I enjoy the constructivist layout of these classrooms. I feel as if children do miss out on education when all they learn is test and textbook information. I like the idea of creating something unique and originally because this seems more real world applicable.

    This article was interesting and it had some good examples of doing an assignment in a more active way.

It just makes school fun along with getting your required standard material.

  • Sadie Moser on 03 Oct 13
     
    I know when I was in high school, my class always wanted to know how we were going to use our learning in the real world. More often than not, the teacher told us that we would not use the learned skill outside of the classroom. This kept many of the students from caring about their work or learning. I think to keep students excited about learning, it should relate to the real world.

  • Debbie Voight on 25 Oct 13
     
    Reading this article made me get excited about the possibilities of teaching with creativity and application. I agree with the author when she wrote, "I'd rather know that my kids were creating something of meaning, value, and I hope, beauty for people other than just their teachers, and that those creations had the opportunity to live in the world. That they were thinking hard about audience. That they were learning how to network and collaborate with others. That they were developing "proficiency with the tools of technology," learning to "design and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes," and becoming literate in the process. Real work for real audiences is, of course, hard to find in the current standardized testing regime." I could not have said it better myself! It seems that employers are looking for people who possess the quality of "working well with others". This new integrated classroom setup would allow for so many different learners to excel! Incredible article!
  • Megan Fout on 21 Nov 13
     
    I enjoyed this article but also disagreed with it due to the fact that it is not possible for most students to complete some of these because they may not have access to a computer. They are great ideas but you have to look at your students before making it an assignment.

  • In the study, half of the 16 kindergarten classrooms were randomly assigned iPads to use for nine weeks, and they showed increased improvement results over the non-iPad classrooms

    This article examines a few of the same challenges I face personally with the use of technology in MY future classroom. As a fairly tech functional person, I fail to see the relevance of "high tech" in a math class. I am minimally accepting a few items, however, I personally this semester am struggling with a college math course because my own learning style cannot compute the excessive use of technology for a lower level math course. I love math and enjoy the challenges, but I fail to see how selecting one problem for a set and uploading a picture to BB for other students to correct is in any way useful.

    This article definitely asks some good questions but I'm not sure that they answered all of the completely. There is a lot that needs to go into an online classroom like the teachers need to have a completely different type of training if they are going to teach online and not in the classroom. how do you keep a child engaged when they are not right there with you? Also the student needs to have the ambition to do the work. I know for myself that having online classes is not an option because I become distracted and for a teen or younger the number of distraction in the world is countless.

Here's a little blurb about the "River City Project": As visitors to River City, students travel back in time, bringing their 21st century skills and technology to address 19th century problems. Based on authentic historical, sociological, and geographical conditions, River City is a town besieged with health problems. Students work together in small research teams to help the town understand why residents are becoming ill. Students use technology to keep track of clues that hint at causes of illnesses, form and test hypotheses, develop controlled experiments to test their hypotheses, and make recommendations based on the data they collect, all in an online environment. Isn't this a great tool for higher order thinking?

  • The development of written language changed the way human beings developed, in large part by influencing brain development and expressed new brain-mediated capabilities that had previously been un-expressed.
  • Children need real-life experiences with real people to truly benefit from available technologies. Technologies should be used to enhance curriculum and experiences for children. Children have to have an integrated and well-balanced set of experiences to help them grow into capable adults that can handle social-emotional interactions as well as develop their intellectual abilities.

      Children need to have hands on experiences that will enhance their learning capabilities.
  • As parents think about the future they need to realize two things: technology is not going to go away and we are in the midst of a major sociocultural quantum shift. These technologies are revolutionizing the world our children will live in. So our task is to balance appropriate skill-development with technologies with the core principles and experiences necessary to raise healthy children. We must keep the core principles of healthy development in mind as we incorporate these technology and tools. If we do that we'll be fine. And at the heart of any healthy child is the opportunity for enriching and nurturing interactions with other human beings. I think the key to making technologies healthy is to make sure that we use them to enhance or even expand our social interactions and our view of the world as opposed to using them to isolate and create an artificial world.

  • In addition, there are a number of specialized programs that allow children with certain information-processing problems to get a multimedia presentation of content so that they can better understand and process the material. They are able to see the written words and see a visual image and hear the sounds — all at the same time. Combining these sensory-modalities helps a child to more efficiently internalize information about a topic. If they have, for example, an auditory processing difficulty or a reading disorder they may be very bright but they don't read very efficiently so if something is read to them on a CD-ROM with visual images they are better able to internalize the information. This helps these children feel better about themselves because they perform better. They're not as afraid of school anymore.

    This article talks about pros and cons with young children and using technology in the classroom. He says that it needs to be done at particular times and should take away from the social development that these children at this age are learning. Timing is everything to technology and children at a young age. Parents and teachers need to take in account, when they are using the technology application what are they missing out on? Social interactions, play time, nap time or just free time. This time could also be a time where the parent and the child can spend time together to learn and teach each other about what they are doing with the technology.

I love it when I hear of English teachers that incorporate pen pal writing into their lesson plans, especially if the recievers of the pen pal writing are from foriegn lands. Not only are they taking a stab at their English skills, but dealing with different kinds of people of different cultures. The different kinds of people that were talked about in this article were eighth grades becoming pen pals with senior citizens. Some just did the homework, other ended up making long lasting friendships.
