  • 2. Students could use their smart phones’ cameras to map their own neighborhoods, documenting (for example) the number of trash cans on street corners. That information could be plotted and shared city-wide, and the data could be examined for patterns and anomalies. Are there more trash cans in wealthy areas? If so, ask the mayor, the Department of Sanitation and the City Council for an explanation. Again, students will be turning information into knowledge. I wrote about this a while ago in more detail.

      This is awesome.  How could we replicate this in Luanda with trash?
  • 3. Why not measure water quality? A hand-held monitor/tester of Ph costs under $100, and the instrument that tests conductivity (ion levels, which relates to purity) is available for under $100. Turbidity — how cloudy the water is — is important to measure as well, and that can be done with an inexpensive instrument and a formula. Students could also measure the speed of the current and keep track of detritus. Then share all the data with other science classes around the city, region and state. Everyone could dig into the information looking for patterns. If one river’s water seems relatively pure until it passes point X, students could endeavor to find out why.

      What about asking everyone at school (teachers, students, assistants, cleaners, maintenance, guards, gardeners) to bring in water samples and test those?
  • Work like this is, well, real work. Students are creating knowledge; they are designing projects and seeing them through from beginning to end. These projects have to meet real-world standards because the results are in public view.

  • And here are two final benefits: the time they spend doing projects like these (and there are many more good ideas out there) is time they cannot spend playing games or otherwise consuming technology. And because they are using technology to create and are enjoying the fruits of their labor, they will be, I believe, less likely to use technology’s power negatively. Strong in their own sense of self, they are less likely to feel the need to bully and cyber-bully others.

  • 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.
