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.

      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?

      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."

      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."

Weblogg-ed » If Every Student Had a Computer - 0 views

  • 120 or so teachers from Victoria who are part of a pilot where all of their students will have netbooks in hand in the next few months. There seems to be a growing commitment here to put technology in the hands of kids (instead of spending huge sums on stuff that students can’t use outside of the classroom) and to thinking about how practice and pedagogy changes when that happens. T

      America......are you listening??????????????????????????

      Of course, there's more to this story, isn't there? Once you purchase the equipment (not cheap) there is also the need to make sure that your network can handle it. If not, nobody will use the laptops - at least not to the extent that they COULD be used. And then, the idea of suggesting that districts increae their budgets so that the program could be sustained, is a tough sell. Yet, the alternative is to remain stuck in the 20th century mentality and approach to teaching and learning.
  • E5 (pdf) that I’ll be giving some more attention to on the plane ride home but that at first blush has some interesting language that focuses more on learning than teaching.

      I want to check this out.
  • It’s not just about if every student had a computer; it’s about if every teacher had a computer as well. (As opposed to if every teacher had a whiteboard.) Imagine if our students were being taught in systems where technology was just a natural part of the way we created and constructed and connected and learned, that it was how we do our business. S

      I REALLY agree with this. Maybe not so much for elementary, but for junior and senior high I think this is a must-do. Your thoughts?

FunBrain.com - The Internet's #1 Education Site for K-8 Kids and Teachers - Funbrain.com - 1 views

  •  
    Most might already know this site but I think it is a great way to get students to learn without them knowing it!
  •  
    When I was a regular ed teacher, I used this site a lot for a choice in centers. The students really enjoyed them. At that time you were limited in how many videos could be viewed per day. Is it still limited?
  •  
    Great website. I use this as rewards for students. Not only do they enjoy playing the games but they are working as well. Win Win.

PurposeGames.com - Create & Play Online Games - 2 views

  •  
    "PurposeGames.com is host to educational quiz and trivia games created by its members. In just a few minutes, you can create your very own game to share with your friends!."
  •  
    This looks like a great site for teaching and learning geography, history and some science topics. I checked the Terms of Use and there is no age limit. Your can play the games anonymously. However, to make a game you need to sign up for an account. All you need is an email. I can definitely see a good use for this for teachers to make games for students. However, I think it would be really cool to have students create games based on curriculum topics. This could be a good intro to learning simple programming such as Scratch.

    • 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.
