Digital Tools Expand Options for Personalized Learning

What will 2014 hold for edtech? Here are some thoughts

Companion site to http://www.adrianbruce.com . Informs the readers of new teaching ideas & resources that are available for download from the website.

Fairly new blog looking at various free web2.0 based teaching and learning tools.

"Although a majority of states do not require financial-literacy classes in K-12 schools, the nation's recent economic struggles have spurred growing interest in the subject by educators-many of whom are turning to digital-game-based approaches to teach students about personal finance and investing."

I was surprised. I learned things from this article. It can be projected in class to teach students also.

Have you wondered how to develop digital literacy in students? Have you wondered how to encourage self-directed learners? How to develop deep research skills? Of course this is all possible without technology, but why would you teach students skills without using the tools that they will need as soon as they leave school? (and which they are In simple terms a BYOD program is any policy within a school which allows students to bring in their own devices and connect to any combination of the school network or the internet. Schools might make a BYOD program voluntary or compulsory, but the key policy decision is to allow students to choose the device which suits them best. Some students prefer Windows machines, other prefer Apple, some students like the fast response of a tablet. Many school which implement a BYOD program soon find that students are working on not one device but many.

With the abundance of learning tools and technology out there, it can become mind-boggling to begin your list of likes, dislikes, to-tries and skips before the upcoming school year. Many things in the school system are changing at a rapid rate-from teaching practices to teacher-student relationships to students' behavior to students' social interactions with one another.

Amanda Lenhart discusses survey results concerning school writing, personal writing, and writing in social networking. Could this be used to promote blogging/texting/chatting standards instruction in schools? If schools don't teach students to use social networking and web 2.0 tools effectively and efficiently, who will? Of interest is this quote: "A considerable number of educators and children's advocates worry that James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, was right when he recently suggested that young Americans' electronic communication might be damaging 'the basic unit of human thought -- the sentence.'" This seems a little bit like saying if teens got a hold of new type of watch, they might damage the space-time continuum.

The primary purpose of blog is to facilitate interaction between a teacher and his or her students. This is possible because a blog is a dynamic tool which can be easily updated or transformed as necessary to meet the needs of a science or math class. The integration of blog technology in a class requires an investment of time. Because of this commitment, additional evidence is needed to support the integration this technology in a science or math class curriculum.
