  • the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology has upped the technology ante with the release of its National Education Technology Plan in Spring 2010.

  • The plan states, "The challenge for our education system is to leverage the learning sciences and modern technology to create engaging, relevant, and personalized learning experiences for all learners that mirror students' daily lives and the reality of their futures."

  • teachers need to guide students to be critical readers "who can evaluate online information for credibility, timeliness, accuracy, and even hidden agendas,"
  • The new generation, sometimes dubbed "screenagers," does much more with technology outside school. Through social networking sites and wireless gizmos, kids are reading; texting; connecting socially; and making their own digital creations, from music mashups to backyard, YouTube-ready videos.

      I find that "screenagers" know how to use their personal devices for social media, but are unable to problem solve with educational technology.

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 2 views

  • In the fourth slot was nothing short of the "fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment," specifically, as the authors described it, "resistance to any profound change in practice."
    • anonymous
       
      What do you think of that statement?
  • The lack of congruence between what students are learning outside of school and what they're being taught in the classroom is causing a disconnect in educational practices.
    • anonymous
       
      Hasn't this ALWAYS been the case? What makes it different now?
  • The existence of a wealth of online tools and communications tools is allowing teachers to "to revisit our roles as educators."
    • anonymous
       
      Yes, it makes it easy to revisit their roles, but DO they?

      Powerful statement, no?
  • Digital literacy will also play an increasing role in career advancement, according to the report.

      But wait - I thought the kids were supposed to be Digital Natives and come to us digitally literate. No?
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills."
    • anonymous
       
      I think it's interesting that the students themselves resist this kind of learning. Care to guess why?
  • "It has become clear that one-size-fits-all teaching methods are neither effective nor acceptable for today’s diverse students," according to the report. "Technology can and should support individual choices about access to materials and expertise, amount and type of educational content, and methods of teaching."

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • 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.

      How accuarte do you think this statement is? What is your reaction to it?
    • Stacy Kreitzer
       
      Not by choice. Lack of professional development and planning time.
    • DC Wilson
       
      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.
    • Gail Rebuck
       
      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.
    • Lou Sheehan
       
      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.
    • anonymous
       
      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.
    • anonymous
       
      And shouldn't that be an easy thing to do?
