  • 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?
    • Mrs Huber
       
      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
    • Vicki Barr
       
      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!)
    • Scott Brewer
       
      My question is how does this fit into NCLB? Can we legislatively work to blend the two?!
    • Emma Clouser
       
      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.

      TIME - we need time to do this!

      Probably not all the teachers; however, to prepare our children for the world we should all be putting our efforts toward these goals.
    • Mrs Huber
       
      @Beth- I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Amy Soule
       
      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!
    • Mrs Huber
       
      @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.
    • L Butler
       
      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.

  • Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:   a. interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. b. communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. c. develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures. d. contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.

      Does this sound familiar? Collaboration? Which group read that in the Horizon Report?
    • Scott Brewer
       
      Project teams sounds like something I would love to be a part of, and my students to be a part of!
    • Mrs Huber
       
      @Jim- Yes, this does sound familiar. I served on a tech steering committee this spring and that is how I learned of these standards. Not sure the school board knows of them though.
    • Emma Clouser
       
      Seems like using diigo would help us meet these standards:)

      I think letter C is fascinating - until yesterday, I hadn't thought about students communicating with other students around the WORLD.
    • Mrs Huber
       
      Before I had this class I didn't think Distance Learning was important, but when asked if I thought the district should get a set up for our elementary school, I said yes, since why say no! I hope we get it now because I will be able to use it with the knowledge I am gaining this week. Very cool!

      thoughts for 2.b. - We need to teach more than just office products!
    • Amy Soule
       
      Should they be allowed to text each other during class? That's communication, using one of their favorite formats!
    • Mary Richards
       
      This is particularly apt for middle school students who are very, very social! They love working in groups and do a better job of holding each other accountable than I do!

      ISTE Educational Technology Standards for Students

    I wonder if this idea of 60 second lectures could take hold in an English or Social Studies class, for example. Watch Charles Bernstein's "What Makes a Poem" clip. Clever. Would this be a good hook with your students?

Educational Uses of Facebook - Ecademy - 0 views

    This blog explores the idea of using Facebook for education purposes. It always goes over some pros and cons of it. The blog has links to some interesting articles related to this topic including one about a professor using Facebook to teach a class at Penn State. I really found this blog valuable for the debate about Facebook in education. I personally support some of these methods like using it for important notifications in regards to safety alerts.

Netbook Implementation - Web Computing - 0 views

  •  
    This article talks about a program to implement net books to be available to all high school students. The school is taking it to the next level trying to figure out a way to ensure all students have affordable access to internet. I think it is a very good idea to take technology to the next level by helping students get access to internet at home. Students need a way to be connected if the school wants to take learning to a new level.

7 Ways To Keep Students Focused While Using Technology | Edudemic - 1 views

  • 1. Encourage direct engagement.

      What would this look like in your classroom?
  • 2. Ask for more participation.
  • 3. Delve into a topic.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 4. Make use of online resources in class.
    • L Butler
       
      Think about all the tools and resources you have uncovered in this class.
  • 5. Assign research topics.
  • 6. Use real-world problems.
  • real-life situations and current events
    • L Butler
       
      Take a current topic, like the Olympics, how could you tie that into a lesson? Stats, geography, charts, science of sports, language, etc.
  • 7. Review what they’ve learned.
  • The recitation of these ideas helps students to process what they have learned.
    • L Butler
       
      If the students have a place to share the videos with friends and classmates, they will. Which will further develop the pool of common knowledge.

Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age - 4 views

  • Over the last twenty years, technology has reorganized how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn.
    • Denise Nichols
       
      What are some of the new theories?  What research will they be based upon?
  • The life of knowledge was measured in decades.
    • Denise Nichols
       
      Our concept of knowledge had definitely changed in this digital age of Google.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Many of the processes previously handled by learning theories (especially in cognitive information processing) can now be off-loaded to, or supported by, technology.
    • Denise Nichols
       
      Conrad Wolfram speaks to this idea in his TED talk about teaching real math with computers.  He states that students spend 80% of their time on calculating rather than applying math to real world problems to learn math concepts.
  • A central tenet of most learning theories is that learning occurs inside a person. Even social constructivist views, which hold that learning is a socially enacted process, promotes the principality of the individual (and her/his physical presence – i.e. brain-based) in learning. These theories do not address learning that occurs outside of people (i.e. learning that is stored and manipulated by technology). They also fail to describe how learning happens within organizations
  • Know-how and know-what is being supplemented with know-where (the understanding of where to find knowledge needed).
    • Denise Nichols
       
      This is one of the most important skills we can give our students in the digital age.  An intelligent person may not know the information but they know where to find the information.
    • Neil Groft
       
      Crazy to think how fast the world is changing.
    • Thomas Larkin
       
      This point was in the Wolfram Talk too
  • Constructivism suggests that learners create knowledge as they attempt to understand their experiences
  • Decision-making is itself a learning process.
    • Deb Sowers
       
      ...and do we (teachers AND parents) really teach this with our kids? ...or facilitate??
  • Learning is a continual process, lasting for a lifetime. Learning and work related activities are no longer separate. In many situations, they are the same.
    • Rich Smith
       
      I love this point
  • Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people’s experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge. ‘I store my knowledge in my friends’ is an axiom for collecting knowledge through collecting people (undated).”
    • Denise Nichols
       
      This is how social media expands our knowledge.  
  • Connectivism provides insight into learning skills and tasks needed for learners to flourish in a digital era.
    • Deb Sowers
       
      Great summary statement
  • Many learners will move into a variety of different, possibly unrelated fields over the course of their lifetime.
  •  
    "Editor's Note: This is a milestone article that deserves careful study. Connectivism should not be con fused with constructivism. George Siemens advances a theory of learning that is consistent with the needs of the twenty first century. His theory takes into account trends in learning, the use of technology and networks, and the diminishing half-life of knowledge. It combines relevant elements of many learning theories, social structures, and technology to create a powerful theoretical construct for learning in the digital age."

iPad Technology in Speech Therapy: Overview - 0 views

  •  
    This blog shares an overview of using an iPad in speech therapy, and gives links to other resources to look at to get more ideas about using technology with speech therapy. I went through speech therapy in elementary school and middle school, and believe it could have been much more fun and effective if technology was implemented better. However, those resources did not exist in 2000. This is a good start though for learning more about the iPad technology for this field.
