Reflecting on planning and preparation (Week 10) | ictinearlyprimaryeducation - 0 views

  •  
    After completing week ten activities, I recogised some important points to focus on for 'Part B' of our third assignment. Teachers who integrate ICT aiming to enhance student learning need to utilise their preparation and planning carefully. This process requires knowledge to ensure high quality teaching standards are being implemented.

    Early Childhood Blog promoting outdoor 'free range' play and pedagogy
  •  
    A very informative blog about preschool, play, early childhood education, learning outdoors, play outdoors, children and nature and play activities specific to kindergarten.
  •  
    I follow this group on Facebook and love seeing all,of their post. They post ideas and believes that should just be second nature to all childhood teachers though sadly are not. Play really does hold such an important role in the learning of young children, whether it is using the natural environment or ICT resources, allow children to be children and enjoy their childhood and let them learn naturally not through over processed activities designed by teachers that just need to meet paper work requirements.
  •  
    This blog is full of fantastic ideas, resources and creativity for early childhood teachers, and pre service teachers.

      EI - Embodied Interaction
  • all embodied artifacts are rehearsed performances, ready-to-hand cultural equipment created by “packaging” procedures for skillfully encountering particular situations in the world. By mediating one’s encounters with the world, embodied artifacts constitute an integral part of cultural and individual development. First, humans embody cultural procedures through participating in social activities

The Overselling of Ed Tech - Alfie Kohn - 2 views

  • y, my response to ed tech is “It depends.” And one key consideration on which it depends is the reason given for supporting it
    • djplaner
       
      'd sugest that "it depends" includes consideration of the "somewhere" in which it is being used. The class, the learners, the teacher(s), what is being learned..
  • 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
    • djplaner
       
      And here's #2 of the "big three".
  • Other people, particularly politicians, defend technology on the grounds that it will keep our students “competitive in the global economy.”
    • djplaner
       
      The first of the "big three reason". As here, there are arguments aginst this particular reason, or at least for not having it drive the why (not) question
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • 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
       
      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
    • djplaner
       
      i.e. horsey horseless carriage thinking
  • Some people seem to be drawn to technology for its own sake — because it’s cool
    • djplaner
       
      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • 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
       
      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.
    • djplaner
       
      This is a danger
    • djplaner
       
      There's nothing wrong with using ICT to make your job easier, but it shouldn't be the only thing you do with it
