  • Technology threatens to reorder those behavior patterns
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The first instinct is thus to graft technology onto preexisting modes of behavior. Hence PowerPoint slides replace the overhead projector, and the learning or course management system attempts to simulate an in-person classroom
  • As technologists, however, we have to realize that incremental change is the best we can hope for in many cases
  • That pace is dictated in large measure by their response to the Three E’s. We have to make them aware of the benefits realized through the effective use of technology. We have to make sure that the platforms they are forced to use are relatively easy to manipulate and conform in some way to the reality in which they exist
  • Technology of the Week” posters. We actually advertise some of the useful and interesting things that faculty can do with a particular technology. They can then go to the Curriculum Innovation Center or attend a workshop to learn how to use that technology.

      That is a great idea! Advertise then set up mtgs to teach others.

    This is a MUST read for all technology decision makers in Lutheran Schools! The Three-E Strategy for Overcoming Resistance to Technological Change If you just build it, they won't come-you need to shape users' behavior by acknowledging their world view rather than your own as a technology implementer

  • It was hard to keep away my oldest daughter, who is 12, so we could finish.   Taylor told her teacher what she did and asked if I could bring in my Lap Top to show her. She asked if I would show the whole class as well.

  • Sketchup is remarkably user-friendly! Technology in the classroom is a great tool... it motivates students, stimulates learning, and often levels the playing field. Sketchup is a terrific example... there were gasps of delight and exclamations of enthusiasm as Brian demonstrated just a few of the basics. We all wondered why we had spent so much time with pencil and paper... this looked to be a whole lot more fun and more versatile. Needless to say, every child wanted to try it and they were all able to quickly master a few simple steps with Brian's guidance. I think they would have gladly designed an entire city had we given them time!"

How The Internet Affects Your Brain | Sherweb blog - 0 views

  • Moreover, findings indicate that children who used the Internet for an average of 30 minutes a day, had higher standardized test scores in reading and higher grade point averages, compared to those who used it less. However, Internet use had no effect on math scores.
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      Another reason why poor school district are at a disadvantage from the start. Web access should be one of our rights?
  • Just because we have more information, doesn’t necessarily mean that the information is better. In fact, it could even be argued that information is being dumb-down and infantilized due to our ever-shrinking attention spans

      Ahhh, this is where our task as educators (guides) is critical.

"If We Didn't Have Today's Schools, Would We Create Today's Schools?" - 0 views

    • Sharon Elin
       
      This analogy of equipping sailing vessels with steam engines works well as an illustration of technology being plugged into traditional classrooms.
  • We need to get the teacher into the game. The teacher needs to get in there and be part of the learning process, actively engaged in solving the problem with the students and learning with the students—not teaching but modeling learning with the students by functioning as an expert learner solving problems and constructing new knowledge with the students.
    • John Evans
       
      Totally agree with this. Teachers MUST be learning along with their students to continue to expand their professional repetoires.
  • modeling the learning process
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • we will get the same result if we introduce modern learning technologies in our schools but do not prepare teachers to work in this new learning environment.   If we want to take advantage of these new technologies and the billions we are investing in equipment for our schools, we have to prepare teachers very differently than we have in the past. We have to change our own model of teaching and instruction in higher education.
  • Any organization that adopts a new technology without significant organizational change is doomed to failure. You have to change the organization. You cannot just add the technology. You have to actively work on changing the roles of the teachers, the roles of the students, the roles of the parents, and the roles of the administrators, and start to work toward building new relationships and new structures
  • Trying to introduce new technologies into schools without these changes would be similar to efforts in the sailing industry during the 1800s, when steam engines were installed in wooden sailing ships.
  • We will not get out of our wooden ship schools until we use communication technologies for two-way interactivity that allows us to collaboratively construct the learning experience and new knowledge.

Educational Leadership:Literacy 2.0:The World at Our Fingertips - 0 views

  • Teaching students to contribute and collaborate online in ways that are both safe and appropriate requires instruction and modeling, not simply crossing our fingers and hoping for the best when they go home and do it on their own.
  • "Now more than ever, students need teachers who can help them sort through choices, apply technology well, and tell their stories clearly and with humanity."
  • Among our authors' guidelines for promoting the skills crucial to using social media well: Value reading and writing more than ever; Blend digital, art, oral, and written literacies; and Teach students to search, evaluate, summarize, interpret, and think and write clearly.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • As a result, the way we communicate, read, write, listen, persuade, learn from others, and accomplish community actions is changing. Or, as someone said when we were planning this issue of Educational Leadership, "Literacy—it's not just learning to read a book anymore."

Effective use of Technology in Education « Elevated Formation - 0 views

  • The questions in such exams tend to be multiple choice and not test understanding but an ability to match up keywords.
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      Unfortunately, this is how the state will test them - so they have to be prepared for this type of test dont they?
  • We are presenting the ideas in ways that mean the student has to do very little in the way of thinking to understand it.
    • Bruce Vigneault
       
      Just another way to stand in front of the room and try to force feed students. They have 'do' to learn.
  • Using technology to create is by far the best use of technology in education.
