  • The technologies we block in their classrooms flourish in their bedrooms. Students are growing networks without us, writing Harry Potter narratives together at FanFiction.net, or trading skateboarding videos on YouTube. At school, we disconnect them not only from the technology but also from their passion and those who share it.

  • nstead we need to teach students how to tell a story.
  • This is more than just teaching kids how to use computers. Kids already know this. They know how to use computers before they get to school.

      It's true, and I guess it's more important to teach kids how to tech troubleshoot since it's crazy the holes they have... They need to be able to identify what they don't know and how to figure it out.
  • People seem to forget this fact, and often these are the same people who are running the society. They would rather spend money on the military than on the educational system, unaware that the military will bring them zippo. It's not a great idea to want to take over the world if you don't know what to do with it and how to run it. Nothing is accomplished through conquest. Everything is accomplished through education.

    This is something we need to think about as we help students to create their websites, post on their blogs and develop their online presence.

  • In a growing number of simulations, ranging from the off-the-shelf SimCity and to Muzzy Lane's Making History to MIT's experimental Revolution and Supercharged, students -- even elementary school children -- can now manipulate whole virtual systems, from cities to countries to refineries, rather than just handling manipulatives.

      Virtual Worlds are a tool I'd like to explore in Science and Humanities...
  • In Education Simulations's Real Lives, children take on the persona of a peasant farmer in Bangladesh, a Brazilian factory worker, a police officer in Nigeria, a Polish computer operator, or a lawyer in the United States, among others, experiencing those lives based on real-world statistical data. Riverdeep's School Tycoon enables kids to build a school to their liking.
  • The missing technological element is true one-to-one computing, in which each student has a device he or she can work on, keep, customize, and take home. For true technological advance to occur, the computers must be personal to each learner. When used properly and well for education, these computers become extensions of the students' personal self and brain.

      Argument for BYOD as opposed to 1:1?

  • But resisting today's digital technology will be truly lethal to our children's education. They live in an incredibly fast-moving world significantly different than the one we grew up in. The number-one technology request of today's students is to have email and instant messaging always available and part of school. They not only need things faster than their teachers are used to providing them, they also have many other new learning needs as well, such as random access to information and multiple data streams.

      Truth.
  • First, consult the students.
  • For the digital age, we need new curricula, new organization, new architecture, new teaching, new student assessments, new parental connections, new administration procedures, and many other elements.

  • In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts

      We need to work on our connection to real world experts.

      I concur, leaning on our PLN and connecting with them and their PLN is certainly a way in. I have done this with Jeff and others to help myself trying to overcome a number of issues with implementing 1:1 tablet in the classroom. They proved very helpful! Whilst all are important, I feel that the last is the biggest for us as teachers because it reiterates the fact that we no longer hold the key/knowledge and that our role as a teacher has change. I particularly like the point made that technology support curricular goals. Thanks for diigoing this!
  • The Web connects students to experts in the real world and provides numerous opportunities for expressing understanding through images, sound, and text.
  • When technology is effectively integrated into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of adviser, content expert, and coach.
