  • But the No. 1 challenge in ed tech, according to the report, is with teachers themselves and the inadequacy of their preparation and ongoing training.

      Not by choice. Lack of professional development and planning time.

      I don't work in K-12 schools, but from what I've heard and read, it sounds accurate. This is something that college programs should be addressing to prepare future teachers as well as offering continuing ed courses for current teachers. Districts should be able to allocate resources to support this effort.

      When a person has a drive to do something, they generally find a way. Although there may be other obstacles, there is truth to this statement.

      Time for training and planning is the most important factor.

      How many hours a day do they suggest a teacher prepare and be trained?
  • "The challenge is due to the fact that despite the widespread agreement on its importance, training in digital literacy skills and techniques is rare in teacher education and school district professional development programs," the report said.

      And, I would add, that the training is designed to teach the skills and not the pedagogy for using those skills in class. Teachers still see this as an aside to their job of teaching the content for the purpose of scoring high on the tests.
  • The third critical challenge cited by the authors was the failure of both technology and teaching practices to meet demands for differentiated, personalized learning.

    Stumbled across this time-saving tool while working on the need for a project rubric. We all have the need to create rubrics from time to time. If you've ever done one from scratch it can be time consuming. RubiStar is a tool to help teachers who want to create and use rubrics, but do not have the time to develop them from scratch. Found this to be simple, fast and professional quality and FREE!

  • Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers: a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

      How many of your teachers are capable of doing this? Do you honestly feel that it's important that they do this, or is it sufficient to focus on NCLB?

      I am hoping I become proficient enough in some of these "new" technology ideas that I can host after school learning sessions for teachers who want to also explore these items. Of course, there will be no pay for it. LOL

      Some of our teachers are capable of this. I think it is important that teachers try - the teachers that are willing to make mistakes in front of the students - learn more - and the students help (and they enjoy helping!)

      My question is how does this fit into NCLB? Can we legislatively work to blend the two?!
    • Emma Clouser
      Emma Clouser on 23 Jun 09
       
      We really can't ignore NCLB at this point, so I think the question is how do teachers mesh the two together?

      Communication with parents via e-mail is so much easier than trying to connect on the phone, but it can become overwhelming sometimes. I spend a great deal of time composing and revising e-mails to parents, careful of what I put in writing.

      Probably not all the teachers; however, to prepare our children for the world we should all be putting our efforts toward these goals.

      I tried to get a teacher to collaborate on having the students write persuasive book reviews to be posted online (either or Moodle, or Destiny, or whatever), and was told we could certainly do that, AFTER the PSSA tests were over. That's where the focus is! We need to use the techology to teach the basics!

      @Amy- I agree..the question is HOW to do it?
  • develop and model cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.

      This is a powerful tool ... but as a teacher you have to be able to give up some of the control. The spontanous learning opportunities involving technology are enriching. My 6th graders especially ask lots of cultural questions, and we look them up online together or we find an expert to ask.
