ow do we evaluate the learning of the content vs. the application of knowledge vs. the skill of using the technology.

  If technology is like air in the classroom, the answer is NO!

What took my block 2 class just over 1 and a half class period has stretched into its fourth day of construction. It got into my head as to just where to set the bar for other classes and future assignments and further raised the question of whether students could have gotten just as far as they would have if they had made posters.

  I, too, have been learn how to deal with what my "at risk" kids can do to the type of student I previously taught!

  Maybe posters would have gone smoother, but would the students be motivated to complete them. Eventhough it's taking a while, were the students engaged? Were they putting forth a good effort? Isn't that the most important thing?

  It may have taken longer but your students gained content knowledge while learning how to problem solve and think critically. No one ever said that building 21st century learning skills would be easy. Kudos to you for taking a risk, putting forth the effort and engaging all of your students.

could a chalkboard be used for the same purpose
- Randy Ziegenfuss on 02 Nov 09
  
  Yes....and you can only have one kid at the SmartBoard at a time...not so with the chalkboard...you can have as many kids as fit!

Yes, they spend thousands to buy technology but are not prepared to develop an infrastructure to actually support easier usage.
- Randy Ziegenfuss on 02 Nov 09
  
  True, but if used in an innovative way, I'd still rather have one on a stand than none at all. "If used in an innovative way..." .. key phrase here.

  Innovative way is definitely the key. I use mine to display review flipcharts that I found online. I also use it to do our PSSA review problems in class. So far, the main benefit of the smartboard is that it doesn't take much time to clear and move on, and you don't have to worry about chalkdust!

  I just wonder how much of this could be done without the fancy SmartBoard vs. the cost. I visit one classroom that simply uses it for a screen without using any of the interactive features and has disconnected the wire used to connect to sync it to her computer. Again, "if used in an innovative way..."

This leads to my ultimate grumbling of the week, I think that because of the shortcuts made to put technology into the hands of teachers and students that we are actually sacrificing class time and more importantly time on task. The concept of time on task was first studied by the late Ted Sizer who passed away recently. As a traveling teacher, I need to pack and unpack at least three times per day. I wonder how much time students actually lose not only in my class but throughout a day because of technology. Its not as though that time can be gained back. I do believe that technology is valuable to students but our schools need to do more with both infrastructure and training to make the devices increase the academic capacity of our students.

why aren’t schools quicker to recognize the power behind technology.
- Randy Ziegenfuss on 09 Nov 09
  
  This is the million dollar question. Leadership, vision, DNA? All of the above? And more?

ill technology one day make brick and mortar school obselete?

  I don't think they will ever be obselete. We will always need a "meeting place" where students can gather and have face-to-face communication with theire teacher and each other. Will they have a diminishing role in the future? Maybe.

While one member of my department was showing off the new goods he stated and I quote, I don’t why they spent so much money, I only need this for attendance and emails.”
