  • Field experiences that pair a preservice teacher with an experienced teacher who acts as a mentor while picking up information on how to use the latest technology tools are essential

      ??? Mentoring sounds great... but aren't veteran teachers less likely to use technology in the classroom since they are less familiar with available technology (on the whole)? Most veteran teachers I worked with loathed even searching the Internet.

      Recent technological advances in the classroom like using interactive whiteboards are fantastic, but little training is provided for teachers on how to use them (or at least in my experience). Knowing the technology and how to use them is the missing link in a lot of classrooms.

  • Certainly, these objects have demonstrable value; however, techniques and processes in teaching and learning are at least equally important

  • human capabilities are not wholly adequate to the demands of the modern teaching and learning enterprise, and this is where technology as facilitator has a role

  • If no improvements are made with the adoption of new technology, then there is no point to utilizing any technology except for the most basic required to obtain that unchanging level of learning

    The author's top 5 keys to successful education technology... do you agree? Is it missing anything?
  • quintintanderson on 21 Sep 10
     
    One of the more powerful messages I have learned in Stone's class is when you are designing an educational intervention you have to know WHEN to ask the question: what technology, if any, will improve our educational problem? Before you ask this question, the problem should be clearly identified, and the steps to assess if the problem is improving should be laid out. When you have this information, you can then tailor the technology to specifically meet the needs of your current problem. In this way, technology is sort of the means (not the ends!) towards improving education. So, in addition to the author's 5 key factors for educational technology, I would like to add: Is the technology a good fit for addressing our clearly defined educational problem?

    What happens to your teen avatar when the plug is pulled on your virtual world?
  • Margaret O'Connell on 02 Sep 10
     
    That looks like a tragedy that's rooted in bad software architecture - having the Teen software be so different from the main Second Life software that it now has to be shut down ... tsk tsk. I hope Linden Labs has learned from this. It was really interesting to learn how this has been used in education (with specifics about hurdles the teachers had to jump to get it into the curriculum).
