      Maybe we need to change the classroom environment to cater for this. 
  • Not one single teacher in the schools my sons attended has an email address available for parents. I’ve attended innumerable educational conferences where only a handful of the participants used Twitter.

      This I find quite shocking. 
  • Across the world young people have collaborated on Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to bring down entire regimes and force political change. Not one of them has been on a digital literacy course. And, in any case, who are these older teachers who know enough about digital literacy to teach these young people? And how do they teach it – through collaborative, communication on media using social media – NO. By and large, in educational institutions, this stuff is shunned, restricted, even banned. We learn digital literacy by doing, largely outside of academe.
  • Was there a sudden break between these skills in the last century compared to this century? No. What’s changed is the need to understand the wider range of possible communication channels. This comes through mass adoption and practice, not formal education.
  • I’ve seen no evidence that teachers have the disposition, or training, to teach these skills.

    This Blog argues against the need to teach 21st century skills. It's a little controversial, what do you think?

    ICT and the Early Years
  •  
    Hi, I liked reading your article about bringing ICT into the early years education and how it can work as another teacher. In Australian schools as most pre-service teachers and if you are a parent would probably know. The children are using Reading Eggs and Matheletics. My children are in years 1 and 3 and have found these programs easy to follow and navigate through the levels with a lot of success in their learning. They can also log-in on our home computer to extend their learning further. Programs such as these are a great tool in encouraging the skills of reading and learning maths without overloading them with too much computer time.

TouchPico Projector Turns Any Wall Into a Touchscreen - 6 views

  •  
    While perhaps not 100% perfect for use in a school, this is a sign of things to come. A day when those Interactive White Boards are seen as klunky and old-fashioned.
  •  
    How times have changed since the good old Overhead Projector! I remember the days where the teacher would have folders of plastic with class notes on them and having the now very ancient projector on the table. Whereas now the amazing things that projectors and even whiteboards can do has really enhanced the learning environment.

The Wrath Against Khan: Why Some Educators Are Questioning Khan Academy - 0 views

  • But that's the crux of the problem right there: lecture-demonstrations. Although there's a tech component here that makes this appear innovative, that's really a matter of form, not content, that's new. There's actually very little in the videos that distinguishes Khan from "traditional" teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that's "learning." Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that's "drilling."
    • djplaner
       
      So is this "replacement", "amplification" or "transformation"? At a base level it's amplification in that the learner can pause, rewind and replay. Not something they can do in typical lecture demonstrations.
  • They point to studies that find while students receive these sorts of videos positively, they are actually learning very little or learning very superficially
  • Physics teacher Frank Noschese, for example, contrasts the video of Khan's explanation of force with a video documenting his students' exploration of force through hands-on experimentation.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • But as some people have found, this sort of reward system on Khan Academy may encourage completion of material for the sake of badges, rather than for the sake of learning itself.
    • djplaner
       
      The ramifications of changes wrought by ICT can lead to unexpected consequences. Yes, students may be completing all of the Khan Academy activities, but are they learning? How long do they retain that learning?
  • Khan Academy has expanded from just creating videos to include a whole platform through which students can move through the content, including analytics for teachers and parents to track them
    • djplaner
       
      Replacement, amplification or transformation? Teachers should always have been tracking student progress. Khan Academy makes it much, much easier - so amplification. But Khan Academy also makes it easy for the parent's to track - amplification or transformation?
  •  
    Another article looking at the argument between those who see Khan Academy as "the bees-knees" and those who see some problems. There's a point about "lecture-demonstrations" (the model used by Khan) that is particularly relevant to this cause and the idea of the RAT framework.

    This is from a modern theorist referenced in the Australian Curriculum. I have not finished the article yet but sharing as it has some great information for assignment 1
  •  
    Thanks for sharing the resource. It clarifies key stakeholders' perspectives regarding ICT skills and the (in-)assessability of such through current testing options. Although Dede expresses cautious cynicism over the self serving nature behind each stakeholder contribution, it does indicate shared emphasis upon the importance of ICTs for the development of transferrable life skills which are reflected in the Australian Curriculum's General Capabilities. As with anything in the curriculum, interpretation of how these capabilities should be taught and assessed is subjective. Be it an impossible task or not, the key edict seems to be that educators are to provide integrated ICT/core content learning episodes that allow learners to develop universally current skills in personally authentic contexts but to also alert the learner to the transferable use of such skills for a global context.

Regurgitated Alpha Bits- Funny blog from a realistic teacher - 0 views

  •  
    Sharing Teacher blog - good for a laugh!
  •  
    I like the way she describes her job- loves the kids but struggles with the job. This is interesting to me because I feel the same (don't know if it I for the same reasons) because I whole- heartedly believe in diversity and the individual child BUT I also know/ have seen how strict and institutionalised schools remain to be and this often gets in the way of the kind of teacher I thought I could be. It is interesting and worth thinking about though because I am sure we all want to help each child as much as we can but lack of time, resources and 'the halo effect' will get in the way at some point.
