Great Moments in EdTech History | Ideas and Thoughts - 3 views

  • journey into educational technology and share a few instances of “aha moments” that I think many can relate to
    • L Butler
       
      Read the blog post and see what you agree with. The dates might change, but what is powerful and transformative remains the same.
  • The beginning of cheap failure.
    • L Butler
       
      Great concept = cheap failure. We have the opportunity for almost everything we create to be a work in progress. You can always learn and build upon your initial attempts. This should give people more freedom to try without the feeling of absolute and unrecoverable failure.
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      Not just cheap failure but also instant failure, which is important to our students as well. We talk about rapid prototyping in the program and some in my classroom, which I think is an important note about this technology and an important concept for our students to grasp/be able to deal with. It's a vehicle for learning.

      'instant failure' - great phrase. It is important that they can make mistakes in a safe environment and have the guidance to learn from the mistakes.
    • Matthew Rogers
       
      I guess my question is why would be considered a cheap failure, constant better/cheaper alternatives, integration in today's technology?
  • I did ask a few folks on twitter about their great moment in edtech history.
    • L Butler
       
      Notice the use of Twitter and Storify.

      What would be on your list? Make sure your comments are not private, but visible to the LTMS600 group.
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      I think my list, off the top of my head, would be Google Docs, Twitter, Cloud Servers/Saving, and Mobile Devices. 
    • Ryan Donnelly
       
      And I forgot the first time around, the almighty text message. Who could forget the text message?
    • Charles Black
       
      My list would be Facebook, Twitter, Google Docs, and Mobile Devices/Text messages.
  • I believe it was 640 x 480 resolution.

      Funny. I think I still have one in my cabinet at school. Amazing how far digital photography has come in a short time.

    "eduTecherTV is a show that focuses on educational technology and web-based tools that can make learning an even more fun and dynamic experience" This is a youtube channel that I stumbleupon (no, not the app) that seems very relavant to our LTMS 600 course. The video show seems to show new and useful ways to use web 2.0 tools to create a dynamic learning experience for students. Cool stuff!
