  • 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.

    This website is aimed at high school students, as it is at this age that most children are affected. Students direct themselves on an interactive journey through a detective's office to learn more about cyberbullying. These young teenagers get to hunt and explore their way through a fun website uncovering clues and information about cyberbullying and how to recognise what to do.

  • The idea of competences is that they are based on identifiable skills or capacities, and hence are not rooted in a body of content but rather in a student’s personal growth. (Karampiperis, Demetrios, & Demetrios, 2006) As such, students are able to select their own track or achievement path through a competence domain, as informed by their own interests, employer needs, or in the case of younger students, parental guidance. Each competence, meanwhile, corresponds to a selection of learning resources (and specifically, learning objects). (de-Marcos, Pages, Martinez, & Gutierrez, 2007*)

      This aspect of competences could have been articulated by DEECD in Victoria during the introduction of VELS and given teachers a broader vision of how they might be implemented.

  • Let’s stop talking about the future and start doing something now! Generations of children have missed-out on rewarding educational experiences while we worry about how corporate meetings will be conducted in 2019.
  • Suggestions for school improvement: smaller classes a curriculum related to real life better teacher education teachers make room in the curriculum for the folk-tales of children’s ancestors parents encouraged to visit the school more intimate contact with people outside of school and cooperating with the entire neighborhood

    "Even if the technological progress gap between 2000 and 2010 was enormous, there is almost zero evidence that it has made an impact on education. Yeah, I know. "Blogging changed your life. Your PLN saved you from social isolation…" Social media just doesn't feel that new to me and I challenge you to argue that it has had more than an infinitesimal impact on classroom practice."
