Take a look at this movie about integrating technology across the curriculum.

This is a powerful movie!

I think this is great!

Only when we get students out of the paper and pencil learning and get them immersed in real world application, will we be able to educate students so that they can not only collect data, but analyze and interpret those resuts as well; therefore creating students who are critical thinkers!

EBSCO is really a life-saver when it comes to research. The UTB library also has an incredible number of resources available to students - take a look at those as well. You can access all the digital content at the library through the main portal. The username and password are the same ones that you use to login to Blackboard.

Nicely done. This is a good reflection of what is going on and what has to happen to make permanent change at the district level. What do you think it is going to take to turn things around?

Interesting perspective. I think the current research shows that, while it is ubiquitous, students today do not necessarily know how to use it for productivity or to improve their lives other than by communicating with others and by playing games. We have some way to go before they generally incorporate it into their "work" lives. I think teachers will be the best at teaching this once they master it themselves.

I think this is the most common place in which we all tend to get stuck. Often, we get excited about trying something new in the classroom, but when we try it the first time, we run into glitches. That is when we go back to the old "safe" ways. We need to find ways as MTTs to help others overcome the fear that we feel when we first fail.

Doing old things in old ways

This trend is important, but it's hardly new -- it will be new only when those courses, curricula, and lesson plans are very different and technology influenced, when they are set up so they can be found and mixed and matched easily, when they are continually iterated and updated, and when the kids have a big say in their creation.

Change has NEVER been easy! - 27 views

As you can see from this video, people have always been resistant to new technology innovations. If we can all learn to laugh our way through and be patient when others are trying to figure out a new technology, then change seems to happen more quickly.
-
Very perceptive and a good analysis of what is going on. The harder part is figuring out what we can do about it - and that is REALLY the huge challenge. Will be interesting to see what occurs in the classroom in the next 5 (or so) years and how you MTTs make it happen.
