  • Simplistic thinking is often applied to educational technology. Either it’s the greatest approach to education ever invented or it’s a waste of money.
  • weak arguments, such as “students are digital natives, so we should use more technology,”
  • Digital technology provides a powerful toolkit, offering unique advantages (such as bridging time and distance, democratizing access to information and services, and leveraging exponential increases in computer power) that have helped transform other organizations, especially those based on information and knowledge

  • Making schools more engaging and relevant (thereby helping reduce the disastrous high school dropout rates in many districts); • Providing high-quality schooling for all students (including English-language learners and students with disabilities); • Attracting, preparing, and retaining high-quality teachers; • Increasing support for children from parents and the community; and • Requiring accountability for results (including providing more information about schools to policymakers and the public). Educators need to consider how digital tools are used to help achieve each of these goals, because transforming schools requires attention to all six, not only one.
  • Because these changes happened so quickly, it is a challenge to think clearly about schools’ uses of digital tools.
  • By using computers, the Internet, and other digital technologies in smart ways, schools are beginning to be transformed into the more modern, effective, responsive institutions that society needs.
  • these modifications are not yet widely known or understood.

    We've been waiting nearly half a century for computer-based information technologies to revolutionize education. While some in authority (including vendors) may supply glowing eports on the progress we've made, visionaries and pioneers like Doug Engelbart and Alan Kay insist we're not only "not there yet," but that we haven't yet fully grasped what "there" might mean.

  • we do a lot of school to students, instead of telling them and explaining to them, what is our vision? Why are we giving them laptops? It's not because they deserve them. It's because we expect something to change in education. Why aren't we telling them these things? Why aren't we sharing our vision with them, because they can help?
  • get kids communicating with one another outside their own circle of friends
  • create challenges on the web for kids to collaborate, that lead to more social interaction rather than less.

  • challenges for them is, how do they create learning opportunities that are beyond for example, a worksheet, or beyond that listening to the teacher and doing what the teacher says, and they've really worked very hard to develop those skills.
  • exploring what other people are doing around the world.
  • they have to learn about copyright, and they need to learn about cyber safety.
  • they perhaps don't understand the consequences of what they might put up there.
  • 'If games are the answer, what's the question?'
  • having kids make their own games
  • Are you going to sit passively and wait for the information to come to you, or are you going to go out and find it and if you can't find it, you make it.

    What impact is digital interactive technology having on education? And what will the classroom of the future look like? These are just some of the questions that were raised at the 2010 Australian Council for Computer Education conference.

Rutgers University Project Uses Scratch to Make Household Appliances Easily Programmable - 1 views

    "Scratch is often cited as one of the best introductory languages for teaching kids - or anyone, really - to code. So it's no surprise that a Rutgers University honors class called "Programming for the Masses" would utilize Scratch as part of its goal of making programming a more accessible, everyday skill. What is unique - and if I may say so, pretty fun - is the direction that a research project, an outgrowth of the class, has taken since. The project is called Scratchable Devices, and with it, computer science Professor Michael Littman and some of his students are working to make it easy for anyone to program their household devices by using Scratch."
