  • The takeaway here for me is that as fantastic as web services are, many of them are controlled by one party and are thus a single point of failure. If they go down or the particular site makes a change to the web service call, it can potentially ripple through the Internet economy if the API is popular.

      I've been thinking about this single-point of failure issue for a little while now. The great thing about web2.0 for learning is that the tools fit together. But if a tool breaks the elements built into that narrative immediately lose cohesion. eg. when Edublogs change it's "embed the web" system OR when Twitter changes it SMS provision to be America centric. What happens if teachers/students go to depend on the single entities for connectivist learning - their failure has some serious kickbacks. The recent ability through Ping.fm and Diigo to cross polinate services is a step in the right direction but take this sticky - it could be lost in the sands of API change. In time users with demand cross-pollination and archive features.

  • 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.

    the latest edition of Measuring the Information Society, which features the new ITU ICT Development Index . The Index captures the level of advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in more than 150 countries worldwide and compares progress made between 2002 and 2007. Its main objective is to provide policy makers with a useful tool to benchmark and assess their information society developments and to monitor progress that has been made globally to close the digital divide.

    The latest edition of Measuring the Information Society, which features the new ITU ICT Development Index captures the level of advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in more than 150 countries worldwide and compares progress made between 2002 and 2007. The data and graphs make for fascinating reading making the point that the magnitude of the digital divide between countries remains almost unchanged over these last five years. At the same time the gap between the very high and very low levels have narrowed slightly.

    This handbook has been informed by the work of fourteen teachers who are interested in how technology is used in classroom teaching and who took part in Futurelab's digital participation project. Rather than being prescriptive, it aims to provide information which will help teachers to make the best use of their own expertise to support students' emerging digital literacy.
