  • 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.

      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

  • powerful potential in a world where every student AND every teacher has a computer and access to the sum of human knowledge we’re building online.

  • There’s much more here, obviously, in terms of even bigger questions about the roles of schools and teachers and classrooms in a networked learning world. But I agree that here is where we have to start. What is it we most want our kids to know about what it means to be a person of this world, and how do we best convey it in ways that make sense for the times we live in? Everything else flows from that. What do you think?

      Maybe she's had enough of the term "21st Century" this or that, but I think it's an important concept to hold onto for a while, yet. We may be tired of it, but there are FAR too many others who haven't heard it or who don't truly understand what it looks like. So, let's not rush into the idea of abandoning it just yet. I DO think it's important that leaders answer the question, "What do we want our kids to know about what it means to be a person of this world?" Without a CLEAR statement about that you can't begin to set your goals and curriculum.

  • it was painfully obvious that he was basically oblivious to the on the ground concerns and fears that these new technologies have created. Not a clue. I’m not feeling any better about the ability to move any of this to a different space with that apparent lack of understanding from the folks at the top.
