  • The exploding anytime, anywhere, anyone access to information and teachers/mentors/co-learners via the Web is pushing traditional school structures, instructional methods and relationships toward obsolescence
  • Due to the speed with which the Web and other technologies have evolved and are evolving, current teachers, education professionals and teacher-training programs are ill-equipped to employ sound pedagogies for learning with technology or to prepare students for the technology rich, unpredictable, fast-changing, globally networked world they will inhabit.

      This is the most important point for me. This is why teacher learning needs to include the tools.

  • The growing ability of technology to replace both unskilled and, increasingly, skilled labor is disrupting traditional thinking and practice about how best to prepare students for careers and is challenging the view that a college degree is a ticket to a middle-class existence.

  • must engage in ongoing capacity-building; ideally including a combination of coaching, mentoring, support and training.
  • Not surprisingly, technology investments seldom produce maximal educational returns. To strengthen this weak link, any consideration of purpose-built technologies must benefit from including strong training, professional development, and ongoing professional learning components.
  • Similarly, waiting for equipment set-up (e.g. calibrating an interactive whiteboard), handling network glitches (e.g. security problems), and resolving equipment issues (e.g. burnt-out bulbs and stuck keyboard keys) too often sidetrack teaching, disrupt classroom activities, frustrate users, and ultimately diminish student learning.

  • These include preventative maintenance, equipment loaner pools, remote helpdesks, and school-site repairs.
  • Teachers benefit because they receive training, professional development and ongoing support that aligns with technology they receive and the work they do in their classrooms. Moreover, they have reliable tech support when they need it.
  • The first involves shifting computers from school tech labs to classrooms and from classrooms to pupils’ backpacks. The second replaces books and print-based analogues with online curricula and digital content. The third removes one-size-fits all, teacher-at-front-of-the room instructional approaches in favour of personalised lessons, assessments, and instructional modalities.

    Mark Weston Article on 3 trends in technology for education. No surprises on the three. Shifting computers from classroom to backpacks; replacing print based books with online curricula and digital content and changing from teacher at front of the room to personalized lessons, assessments and instructional modalities. The key information comes on building the capacity of teachers and making sure that tech issues don't hold back teaching and learning.

    Funny how the conversation is about textbooks, not the other stuff.

    agreed.... I thought this line was relates well back to what we were discussing before about BYOD "Each student was issued a laptop, with an annual rental fee of $150. The computers are cut off from noneducational Web sites, including social networks. The children are not allowed to use any other computer for their work because, she said, "kids on the south end of town will have Cadillacs and others on the north end will have eBay versions. That's not equitable."
