These processes are ingrained and simple. The devices we use are all around us, they are ubiquitous and the outcomes obtainable.

The Mythic Qualities of Social Media and associated ICTs | Weblog reflections of Fran G... - 2 views
-
This is a really good example of what you can post on your blog as part of the learning journal. Frances has taken one of the activities from the learning path (Postmans 5 things), connected it with another event in her life and made connections. She's also link to a couple of online resources within her post. You perhaps don't need to go quite as far as Frances. e.g. just using it as an example of one of Postman's 5 things would have been sufficient.

A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work.m4v - YouTube - 2 views

"A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work.m4v" wow I have never seen anything like this before.. It looks like she has become so accustomed to using an iPad that she doesn't know/forgets how to flick through a magazine. What are your thoughts on this?
-
For me - as I think you can probably guess from how I used it - this talks to me about how technology becomes mythic. This child's schemas are such that she assumes everything has a touch interface. While she's currently wrong, it may not be that long before that is the case. From there lots of implications and questions flow.

Application of the SAMR model | isupport - 4 views

In other words, the technology has become mythic (in the sense suggested by Postman's 5 things to know about technological change)
-
Does this imply that there will be a time where the subject ICT and pedagogy won't be necessary?
-
That Leigh, is a very good question. One we'll pick up on in coming weeks (if not before)
-
In short, I think there will be a time when a course like ICT and Pedagogy won't be needed.

Dr Puentedura displayed this brilliant slide introducing the SAMR Ladder, and offered the following advice.

What is it that you have always wanted to accomplish in terms of educational goals that you couldn’t accomplish before?

Technology is used a lot but only in low level uses (ie Facebook, and Google search). If asked to perform a “complex” task such as creating a presentation or editing a photograph most teachers would come unstuck.
-
Does this apply to you? Has your studies given you an opportunity to move beyond?
-
I have used new software and packages during my uni course that I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. It is great to be pushed into that uncomfortable stage while learning a new program but the achievement feeling when you have worked it out is great and very rewarding. There is so much out there that could be used in the classroom but you need to seek it out!
-
Until I started EDC3100 I wouldn't have considered myself a 'low level user'. I am however making progress. It is challenging at times since there are so many resources that can be applied. Without this course I would have been in the dark about the possibilities.

We know when we have achieved successful technology integration: it is when we use technology without even thinking about it.

SpeEdChange: Changing Gears 2012: rejecting the "flip" - 2 views
-
From the 1890s until World War II homework was consistently highly controversial, with laws against it (California 1901 among many others),
-
omework is a link from school to home that keeps parents informed about what the school is teaching, gives them a chance to participate in their children's schooling, and helps to keep the schools accountable to parents. Not to assign homework is to exclude parents from playing an active role in their children's academic development."
-
I hear this quote so often but I really believe if the parents want to be involved in the children's learning, they need to spend time in their child's learning environment.
-
Here, here, I so agree with you Jackie so often parents only find themselves in school to make a complaint or the like never have I seen a parent just wanting to spend time in their childs classroom just to see. It would be beneficial for all if there were time when this could happen.
-
Connections with parents is important. In fact, it's one of the AITSL professional standards. But I wonder why parents don't spend more time in their child's classroom? I'm sure there would be many parents (but perhaps not all) who want to be more involved with their child's education, but who can't for various reasons. I wonder if we can make it easier for them to be involved?
-
Actually, entirely by accident I came across this post from Nicola's blog http://nixxuni.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/using-technology-to-inform-parents/

Our students deserve more imaginative thinking than that. And all of our students deserve an educational environment which moves us toward equality of opportunity, not further away from that.
-
Equality is something that would be missed in a flipped classroom. With the cost of living increasing not all families are going to afford the technology that a flipped classroom requires students to have access to at home.
-
Wouldn't lack of equality be bridged if the students who didn't have access to the internet went to school early or stayed back a bit later to listen to the videos. If there was supervision, what difference would it make being at school or at home for the video presentation?
-
I agree with a comment made above too, that maybe the school day needs to be re-arranged if a flipped classroom pedagogy is going to be introduced - give students time during normal school hours to watch the videos then have the classroom discussion
