  • The TSI does not address the need for infrastructure.
  • Higher-efficiency strategies result in more reliable technology support at relatively lower levels of effort.

  • Such disappointments are the latest example of how technology is often embraced by philanthropists and political leaders as a quick fix, only to leave teachers flummoxed about how best to integrate the new gadgets into curriculums.

      Dumping laptops into schools without a plan on how to use them will obviously meet with failure. IMHO.
  • Last month, the United States Department of Education released a study showing no difference in academic achievement between students who used educational software programs for math and reading and those who did not.

      Learning is not going to happen with software and hardware alone.
  • a survey of district teachers and parents found that one-fifth of Matoaca students rarely or never used their laptops for learning.

      Not the fault of the hardware or software, most likely.

  • This chapter focuses on a powerful context for learning: community. Community catalyzes deep learning and should be a critical consideration when planning physical and virtual learning spaces.
  • Research on learning theory, how the brain works, collaborative learning, and student engagement has taught us that people learn best in community.
  • The term community here refers to the social context of students and their environs. A community is a group of people with a common purpose, shared values, and agreement on goals. It has powerful qualities that shape learning. A community has the power to motivate its members to exceptional performance.

  • A real community, however, exists only when its members interact in a meaningful way that deepens their understanding of each other and leads to learning.
  • in a community, the learners—including faculty—are enriched by collective meaning-making, mentorship, encouragement, and an understanding of the perspectives and unique qualities of an increasingly diverse membership.
  • Despite multiple theories about how people learn, they agree on one point: the critical role of interaction.
  • Second, learning in community will have an important role in preparing students for their work-life to come.
  • ndeed, because of the volume and volatility of information today, as well as the proliferation of information-sharing mechanisms,12 knowledge may be seen as vested in a distributed network across communities of practice, not in individuals.
  • aculty don't expect much of students so that they can concentrate on the growing demands of research, and students don't demand rigorous instruction so that they can concentrate on their social lives.

      This is a sticky note.
  • Whether due to the absence of deep engagement between students and faculty or to their desire for peer interaction, students have begun to develop student-centered communities with their peers.21 While this trend satisfies the need for community, this interaction often lacks academic learning as the focal point.
