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
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      '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
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      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
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      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
      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
  • Some people seem to be drawn to technology for its own sake — because it’s cool
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • 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
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      i.e. horsey horseless carriage thinking
  • 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
      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.

      This is a danger
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      There's nothing wrong with using ICT to make your job easier, but it shouldn't be the only thing you do with it

    ICTs (video and images) are being used to support a re-framing of math problems to encourage students engagement. The background is expanded upon in this talk http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover.html Especially look at what is said from about 10:20 that talks about why this is the best time to be a math teacher.

    "Type Description Descriptive writing Not reflective. Description of events that occurred/report of literature. No attempt to provide reasons/justification for events. Descriptive reflection Reflective, not only a description of events but some attempt to provide reason/justification for events or actions but in a reportive or descriptive way. For example, "I chose this problem-solving activity because I believe that students should be active rather than passive learners". Recognition of alternate viewpoints in the research and literature which are reported. For example, Tyler (1949), because of the assumptions on which his approach rest suggests that the curriculum process should begin with objectives. Yinger (1979), on the other hand argues that the "task" is the starting point. Two forms: Reflection based generally on one perspective/factor as rationale. Reflection is based on the recognition of multiple factors and perspectives Dialogic reflection Demonstrates a "stepping back" from the events/actions leading to a different level of mulling about, discourse with self and exploring the experience, events, and actions using qualities of judgements and possible alternatives for explaining and hypothesising. Such reflection is analytics or/and integrative of factors and perspectives and may recognise inconsistencies in attempting to provide rationales and critique, for example. While I planned to use mainly written text materials I became aware very quickly that a number of students did not respond to these. Thinking about this now there may have been several reasons for this. A number of students, while reasonably proficient in English, even though they had been NESB learners, may still have lacked some confidence in handling the level of language in the text. Alternatively, a number of students may have been visual and tactile learners. In any case I found that I had to employ more concrete activities in my teaching.

    While teachers need to have the skills to operate specific technologies, TPCK includes knowing about effective pedagogy that uses ICT, how ICT can change the nature of content that is to be taught, how it can be used to address problems, and how it can help to construct knowledge.

    Links established between Seymour Papert and Carol Dweck and how you conceptualise errors. Especially appropriate for the start of this course. Don't fear to be wrong, or worse to be seen to be wrong. Getting it wrong is a good thing. An opportunity to learn embrace it, don't fret, and develop skills in problem solving (with help where appropriate).

  • Texting, web-surfing, and iPods are just new versions of passing notes in class, reading novels under the desk, and surreptitiously listening to Walkmans. They are not the problem. They are just the new forms in which we see it. Fortunately, they allow us to see the problem in a new way, and more clearly than ever, if we are willing to pay attention to what they are really saying.
  • In short, they tell us that our walls no longer mark the boundaries of our classrooms.

    What learning area/year level you think you might use this. This is great for maths, being in special ed. there are many students with splinter skills that can move ahead in certain area's. I think this is a great tool to help those student who may be behind keep interested in learning as its interactive and fun. What it is you like about the flipchart. I like that its colorful and engaging for students.  Any problems you think it might have. COST! Very expensive

Year 2 - Learning measurement and doing comparing length What it is you like about the flipchart. - its visual, interactive and will provide the students with realworld connections. Any problems you think it might have. - It would be great if it had a measuring tool, ruler or tape measure attached to take it one step further

    I played the maths challenge Dragonbox, and was just going to spend a few minutes on this game but I found it fun to keep going and work out how to continue with the problems when I got stuck, until I understood the concept that the challenge was teaching. In a way I was trying to be creative in solving these problems along the way and was learning as well. This idea could be carried on outside the came creating my own idea of Algebra using everyday items. I think that when learning is taking place creativity and innovation are not far behind.
