E-Learning Journeys: A Vision for a School Library - 1 views

  •  
    We need to analyse and come to a better understanding of the impact of technology, and in particular our 1:1 implementation in the Secondary School, on students and their media habits. Asking students to be using books more may not be the answer, and in fact may be a reactionary approach. Maybe we need to reduce the number of books on shelves to provide room for better designed spaces e.g. 'sound-proofed' smaller areas where 4-5 people can plug a laptop into a large flat screen and collaborate over research or other online/multimedia task Maybe we need to set up podcasting stations and higher-end computers for enhanced video work in areas that all can access, not just in specialist rooms Maybe we need to initiate more discussions based on the reading material available, eg latest magazines and encourage higher order thinking through interaction with other communities and libraries via video conferencing and virtual classrooms

Private schools unite to share courses online | Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/04/2011 - 3 views

  •  
    That would have inspired David!
  •  
    "The NAIS magazine has predicted half of high school courses will be online by 2019." seems aggressive to me . . . what do you guys think?
  •  
    Fully-online or blended? I think half of the FCS teachers will have a website of some kind by that year.

Developing Technology Vision Statements - The Tempered Radical - 0 views

  • every school should have a mission statement that is focused on learning and learning alone.
  • Conversations that speak only to technology or technology integration seem to a) end quickly, or b) lapse into stories about Internet research or how dangerous Wikipedia is.

What Do You Do On The Last Day Of Class? (Part Two) | Larry Ferlazzo's Websites of the ... - 0 views

  • I teach technology at a grade school. I have 2 projects I’ve done in different years. One is to write a letter to a child who will come in to that grade telling them what that grade will be like. I give them some guidelines, like your 3 favorite things, what you need to know about the teacher, something that will be a challenge. The teacher can use that at meet the teacher day, or the first day of school. The 2nd project I’ve done is “3 Words”. Students pick 3 words to tell upcoming students about the grade. For example: Do Your Homework, Mrs. Smith Rocks, Tell the Truth. You can take a picture of the student with their words, and make it into a book or a slide show.

      I like this idea for end of year activity.  the 3 words could be a Wordle.  The letter could be a collaborative document that would help us evaluate the effectiveness of the rotation

a talk to parents: why laptops? - 0 views

  •  
    "Most of us went through school and, by and large, succeeded. When we had education done to us, we experienced what I call the "just in case model" of education. We learned things just in case they might be useful. Just in case they might be on the test. Just in case we might look for a job in that area. Just in case you might study physics later on. And a key reason that education developed this model was that the predominant mode of teaching, and hence learning, relied on the predominant technology of the day: paper. . . .

      This is like the chat setup for friendscentral.  If/when we move to 1-1, we might consider moving students to another domain so we can disable chat/buzz etc
