  • The debate over digital learning will soon enter a new phase.  No longer will educators debate whether or not digital learning has the capacity to transform the American education system.   Just about gone are the anti-technology Luddites who insist that every classroom be self-contained, with students and teachers left to their own devices, save for the help of pencils, chalk, blackboards and weighty textbooks stuffed into 10 kilo backpacks.

      I wish I could say I think this vision of education and instruction is a close reality, but I sit in classrooms on a daily basis in which the pen/pencil is ALWAYS the primary tool of the student and use of technology is not part of the vision.

      Great statement!
  • It is becoming increasingly obvious that digital learning systems can be tailored to the specific interests, learning styles, and levels of accomplishment of each student.

  • On the one side will be those who propose that most digital learning in K-12 public education be of the “blended” variety, that is, take place within public school classrooms under the tutelage of a highly qualified teacher.
  • nline” proponents will argue that blended learning alone is not enough.  American education can be transformed only if the power to drive change is placed in the hands of students, who are offered a choice of providers that include not only the blended classroom but also those who offer products  exclusively online, supplementing asymmetric video presentations of online materials with interactive systems that employ such tools as Skype, interactive games, social networking, email communications and phone conversations.

      I guess, I'm one of the proponents that thinks CHOICE is the best option. I don't think school systems have to decide for students but should provide rigorous, well-designed options that students can choose from rather than limit them because of someone else's choice.  How often do students sit in a class because they were assigned to a teacher that they know is  not as good as another teacher in the department? Why not give the students choice of which teacher they get, or what modality they choose to receive the learning through? Make the bottom line be a rigorous set of assessments that provides some understanding of what the student is able to convey.  
  • Common standards provide a nationwide platform upon which next generation curricular materials can be built

      Most important statement of this article so far! Even if the CCS are not perfect they do provide opportunity for innovation and scale that has never been available through the old system of state standards.

      Also, important to note that Bush comes from Florida which has one of the strongest online school programs in the country and has been a leader in the field for a decade or more. 
  • hoice allows students to pick the courses most suited to their needs, abilities, and interests; and accountability ensures that learning is genuine.
  • For blenders, the keys to the intervention’s apparent success include the use of real-time performance information by qualified teachers, not just the videos and problem sets.

      I like Sal Kahn's thoughts, but his pedagogy and approach is severely limited. He is using the discrete set of skills approach to teaching mathematics instead of a comprehensive approach that connects and blends different representations. He does not take into account consistent use of vocabulary across all of his videos, doesn't make connections between different skills/videos when students need to understand direct and subtle connnections, and he uses a limited set of models to develop student conceptual understanding.  Great speaker, great innovator, limited educator. that said, his use of chunks of information would be well to be modeled by many classroom teachers who spend way too much time in front of the class directing students in what they 'need' to know. 
  • Apparent success, it must be said, because the impact of neither the blended nor the online version of the Khan intervention has yet to be documented by a randomized trial
  • Meanwhile, school districts and teacher unions can be expected to fight publicly funded online learning that offers students a choice of taking courses outside their local district school.  If online learning should prove to be more effective than the learning that takes place within classrooms, it would provide a serious challenge to the school district-teacher union duopoly that blended learning does not.

      Important political point! Are teachers, schools, politicians doing what's best for students or what keeps them in power and makes them look good? I don't know, but I am glad to be part of the education process  during this period of education.

    Even as it "disruptively" transforms American education, blended learning is itself being slowly reshaped into new and distinctive forms. A report released this week identified six emerging models for blended learning in K-12, ranging from guided online instruction in the classroom to "self-blended" models where students take courses a la carte.

    s the use of computing and networking technologies in schools grows, educators increasingly incorporate online tools and resources into their curricula-some even replace traditional classroom interactions with "virtual" courses that take place entirely online. At the same time, administrators are concerned with helping students develop 21st century skills while bridging the digital divide between students and adults. To address emerging trends in education, Project Tomorrow, a national education nonprofit group and Blackboard have joined together to bring you Education in the 21st Century, a series of reports that include data from the SpeakUp Survey, which shed light on issues related to learning and leading in K-12 education.

    obile learning extends education beyond the physical confines of the classroom and school library, allowing students to access content from home, communicate with teachers, and, perhaps most importantly, communicate with each other via online collaboration tools. Affordable smartphones with 3G broadband connectivity help ensure all students have access to educational resources 24/7.

    DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2729.2005.00129.x First, we polled 333 Japanese university students regarding their use of mobile devices. One hundred percent reported owning a mobile phone. Ninety-nine percent send e-mail on their mobile phones, exchanging some 200 e-mail messages each week. Sixty-six percent e-mail peers about classes; 44% e-mail for studying. In contrast, only 43% e-mail on PCs, exchanging an average of only two messages per week. Only 20% had used a personal digital assistant. Second, we e-mailed 100-word English vocabulary lessons at timed intervals to the mobile phones of 44 Japanese university students, hoping to promote regular study. Compared with students urged to regularly study identical materials on paper or Web, students receiving mobile e-mail learned more (Ps literal meaning; a video shows the idiomatic meaning. Textual materials include an explanation, script, and quiz. Thirty-one Japanese college sophomores evaluated the site using video-capable mobile phones, finding few technical difficulties, and rating highly its educational effectiveness.

  • Second, do you have the spaces?  If your vision does include learning online, you have to have school-supported digital spaces.  It can be anything really, but you have to have something.  And I’m not talking about individual teachers putting something together, because that doesn’t make sense for kids or from an organizational standpoint in terms of support and dedicated growth and development in concert with the vision.  I also don’t believe this should be something left to students to self-organize around-if its part of the vision, the school has to be intentional about it and provide a common landscape for all.

    David Jakes does a great job of laying out a vision of what should be expected for classroom interactions through a digital platform but still isn't. I love his thinking about it not being a happy website with mission/vision but a place to collaborate and inform.  The 21st century is now not tomorrow!
