Samsung chooses Memphis to test school technology for U.S. market - 0 views

  •  
    Hm...so Samsung invested in smart whiteboard and tablet technology in a Memphis school as part of their "market research" into the US education market. I'm not sure if this is a good thing? Hopefully the teachers at this school got some sort of professional development on how to use this technology with good pedagogy, and aren't just going to use the technology in the traditional ways...

Are Kids Really Motivated by Technology? (Bill Ferriter) | Larry Cuban on School Reform... - 1 views

  •  
    A reminder that technology is not in and of itself a motivating force in the classroom.
  •  
    I wonder if different types of technology have different impacts. For example, I can absolutely see where students wouldn't be motivated by a digital whiteboard or a blog...too adult and too similar to traditional education. But what about things like games for learning? Would they draw in a non-traditional student and actually motivate them to learn, albeit indirectly? There seems to be research on the gamification aspect that shows its positive impact, so do Bill's comments only apply to a subset of educational technology?

      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.
