While it is interesting for me to see what is expected to be coming down the pipe in 2012, it's also moderately depressing to compare where my current school is to where things should be going. We're already miles behind and with the current financial woes in the district (and the state), I don't see how things are going to get any better. We have a tech charter high school that has expanded to include 7th and 8th grade. I know they are getting resources and professional development, but among the rest of us, the only innovations are coming at the hands of educators who are seeing it on their own. There is no money. No district support. No recognition of the fact that our kids are being left behind.

  I love this idea! My MSN was through WGU, which is online and competency based. This is for me the best way to learn. I can spend as much or as little time as I need to master the material and then move on. I was not limited by others pacing or forced to drag a course out to fill a prescribed time period. If only all education could be like this! *gazed wistfully off into space, dreaming...

  This may be true in many settings, but I teach nursing and I cannot imagine trying to be too flexible with the nursing education. Some aspects of it can be online, simulations, and so forth, but information must be delivered from the top down in this instance for the most part. Students must master certain skills and concepts, and they must meet a specific timeline in order to graduate. In addition, they must pass the NCLEX in order to become licensed. Our students must perform on the job or our grads will not get hired. So, I completely support the idea of open entry open exit, non time based, competency based education! But, as with all things, we must recognize the limits of different models and technologies and apply them wisely to get the most possible out of our efforts.

In a similar way, education technology now personalizes learning by enabling students to learn at their own pace, in their own way.

I've been learning about using digital storytelling in the classroom, and University of Houston's website is one of the most engaging and interesting that I've seen. I've bookmarked it on my Diigo page and will continue to add bookmarks to this list as I find them.

It will be amazing to see what the future holds. The article points out the need for technology to applied throughout educational components, instead of being only a stand alone one.
