    This is a good read because everyone told me that: technology will take over teachers positions, teachers are not needed as they were back then, and so on but, this article lowers those fears and says no that is not true. The guy, Larry Cuban, did a good job.

  • With every other technology, including computers, educators recognized its importance and debated how to apply each nascent commercial technology for educational purposes
  • Unfortunately, educators have almost always tried to use technologies to teach students in the same ways that teachers had always taught.

    UDL Book Builder is a great tool to create and publish digital books designed to support learners by using universal design for learning principles. Multiple points of entry, visual, auditory, vocabulary hyperlinks, and thought-provoking questions can be embedded to scaffold learning for all students.

  • Debbie Voight on 18 Oct 13
     
    Using UDL book Builder is a helpful resource to acquaint your students with grade level reading options. It helps bring technology into the classroom and into their lives with another form of learning style. Children seem to want to read more when there is a screen in front of them and they also enjoy going at their own pace. This is a wonderful tool for teachers to use to help students who need to hear the words on the page, as well as, give students who may have their work finished a place to use their energy on reading and creating books of their own choosing.
  • Alyson DeWitt on 18 Oct 13
     
    I also like the idea of having digital books as a teacher because I can always have them on a tablet or Ipad without weighing myself down. What I do not like is that my assistants do not have the same access to them. I would like to have all of the staff in my classroom be on the same page with the curriculum that I am teaching.

    This was an informative article about technology. It will be interesting to see how technology effects state scores for students as technology continues to be used more frequently in our schools.
  • Riley Montgomery on 06 Oct 13
     
    It is interesting to see multiple viewpoints of technology in the classroom. To hear that technology is not as greatly affecting student learning is surprising to me. Although I feel that in many cases it isn't the concept that is flawed but the technology or techniques that are being used.

    I was excited to read an article that finally provided me a useful basis of technology in a math class. I was really surprised to read that sciences seem to be the subject that is lagging with tech integration. I realize science is a very hands-on subject, but I would think it would have been a much easier transition, than math.

  • Vendor-driven hype and wishful policy thinking over robots, increasingly sophisticated artificial  intelligence software, and expanded virtual teaching feed private and public fantasies about replacing teachers and schools. Taking a step back and thinking about what parents, voters, and taxpayers want from schools–the social, economic, political, and individual goals–makes magical thinking more of a curse in the inevitable public disappointment and cynicism that ensue after money is spent, paltry results emerge, and machines  become obsolete. I end with the obvious point that magical thinking and the accompanying curse afflicts not only educators but also the rest of us, as these homeowners found out:  
  • cassandra clum on 03 Oct 13
     
    I agree with this article to a certain extent. The suggestion of the TechEd award winner noted in this article that by simply providing the technology to children, that they will automatically be curious enough on their own to absorb limitless amounts of knowledge is RIDICULOUS. However, I do believe that when used appropriately, tech can open the door to more resources (i.e. the comment made on the article by the Spanish teacher) to aid in the learning process. I don't believe however that given the choice to self educate or play with her barbies, my 2 year old is going to begin reviewing the importance of American History. Just a thought.

    This article addresses a lot of concerns and questions with technology in education. It talks about schools that have a device for every individual student as well as the challenge of students bringing their own devises from home. It also reiterates that teachers are very important in leading this shift into a more technological classroom and school environment and how teachers can learn also from each other and students.

      I know so many teachers and even professors at the university that have very little experience or understanding of technology. It is frustrating that technology is available and very helpful but still some educators have no idea how to utilize it and therefore the students do not benefit from the positive learning they could be experiencing.

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 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.
