With almost 70,000 followers Vicki Davis was named one of "Twitter's Top 10 Rockstar teachers" by Mashable. Vicki is a full time teacher and IT Director at a small school in Camilla, Georgia. In her words, "my mission is to help you be a better teacher. I'm passionate about helping all teachers reach every student so I write a lot about teaching, staying motivated, and how to connect with other teachers." 'Coolcatteacher' has also been consistently named one of the top 50 blogs in education worldwide. What piqued my interest is her belief in using technology effectively as a teacher.

Questions should ignite learning. Curious kids never get bored. But why do young kids ask more than 100 questions a day and by middle school, they've stopped asking?

But the rationale that I find most disturbing — despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that it’s rarely made explicit — is the idea that technology will increase our efficiency

Other people, particularly politicians, defend technology on the grounds that it will keep our students “competitive in the global economy.”

We can’t answer the question “Is tech useful in schools?” until we’ve grappled with a deeper question: “What kinds of learning should be taking place in those schools?”
- djplaner on 16 Mar 16
  
  The "theory" method from the Why (not) framework can help inform this, but you do need to question your deeper assumptions about this question. Of course, the problem you face is that the "way things are done" impacts this greatly and can limit what you can question

Despite corporate-style declarations about the benefits of “innovation” and “disruption,” new forms of technology in the classroom mesh quite comfortably with an old-school model that consists of pouring a bunch o’ facts into empty receptacles

Far more common, in any case, are examples of technology that take for granted, and ultimately help to perpetuate, traditional teacher-centered instruction that consists mostly of memorizing facts and practicing skills
- djplaner on 16 Mar 16
  
  This is where we can have some argument. There is some value in doing this type of stuff as long as there is amplification going on AND it's part of a broader move from traditional forms of learning to different types of learning. I'm also troubled by the "one size fits all" approach to this. "Nothing works everywhere".

According to an article in Education Week, “a host of national and regional surveys suggest that teachers are far more likely to use tech to make their own jobs easier and to supplement traditional instructional strategies than to put students in control of their own learning.

Hi Steph, WOW! That does seem impossible. I can imagine phones will go holographic in the future, but I have no idea how it will be possible to touch through a phone and touch carpet or different materials. It is defiantly a good resource that provides food for thought.

That is so cool! Imagine how much harder it would have been for teachers ten years ago, they probably wouldn't even have imagined this kind of thing would be possible. It makes you wonder what technology will be like in the next ten years! In the next five years even!! Maybe special education schools and units won't be necessary anymore because technology will enable all students to be integrated!

Even Khan will acknowledge that he’s not an educational professional; he’s just a nerd who improvised a cool way to teach people things. And for better or worse, this means that he doesn’t have a consistent, comprehensive plan for overhauling school curricula.

A lightbulb went off: Khan realized that remediation—going over and over something that you really ought to already know—is less embarrassing when you can do it privately, with no one watching. Nadia learned faster when she had control over the pace of the lecture. “The worst time to learn something,” he says, “is when someone is standing over your shoulder going, ‘Do you get it?'”

“Math is the killer,” Gates told me recently. His foundation had researched unemployment and found math to be a significant stumbling block. “If you ask people, ‘Hey, there are these open nursing jobs, why don’t you go and get one?’ math is often the reason they give for not applying,” Gates says. “‘Why didn’t you pass the police exam?’ Math.”
