The Research Files Episode 14: Andreas Schleicher on the impact of technology on learni... - 0 views

  •  
    "JE: But you're not saying that technology is a bad thing, to have it there is a good thing, isn't it? AS: Well, absolutely. I think technology is there to stay. Technology has huge potential to transform, to fundamentally transform, learning processes. You know it can create a much more open pedagogical environment, it can connect the home environment and the school environment, it can give students access to the most advanced knowledge, anywhere, anytime, rather than giving them a textbook that was printed last year and maybe designed five years ago.  So, there's huge potential for technology to transform learning, but what our report clearly shows is that's not what's happening today."

    "I'm so tired of having the integration of technology into learning overlooked because it's "too hard". As educators - actual professional educators , who actually go into classrooms every day and teach for a living - we do NOT have the luxury of choosing whether we should be integrating technology, or whether we want to learn more about it, or whether we think it's relevant to the learning process. It is , it's part of the job and if people don't think so, then they ought to be getting a copy of the Saturday paper and looking for a something else to do where they CAN be selective about what part of the job they are willing to take seriously without it impacting on our future generations."

  • Given the realities of our modern age and the demands of our children’s future, is it really okay to allow teachers to choose whether or not they incorporate modern technologies into their instruction?

      Teaching practices slowly evolved from communicating personal knowledge on the blackboard to prescribed text books. Contemporary teachers are now faced with a multifaceted array of delivery tools. Schools need to make explicit to their teachers biannual benchmarks of what Information Technologies should be employed in their classrooms. Leaving it up to the teacher is insufficient. Only 2 out of 10 teachers are innovators. These teachers will have passion and commitment to the school. They will drive innovation. 6 out of 10 will turn up and put time into their work. They operate on the status quo. They need assistance to innovate. The remaining 2 out of 10 will not contribute. The Innovative teachers should be employed by the school as agents of continual change, with the objective to raise the benchmarks of Information Technologies employed. The bulk of the teachers Performance Management should be tied to the expected benchmarks. The non contributors should be actively squeezed out of the school. If schools do not provide the appropriate and relevant service they become irrelevant and their students are dis-serviced.

5 Lessons for Parenting in the Digital Age - 0 views

  •  
    "Parents of older children face similar challenges - for instance, whether it's acceptable for their teen to text at the dinner table, or whether it's tolerable for a teen to peer at his laptop when someone is trying to address him. Essentially, we wonder, just how much technology should be allowed in our lives and those of our kids?"

How do we meet a challenge like my nephew? Digital natives coming to a school near you.... - 0 views

  •  
    Digital Natives The real bombshell which will be hitting primary schools now and secondary schools in the next decade is a whole bunch of Noahs. These kids have grown up with YouTube (which has only been around since 2005) and all the web 2.0 which we, as pure digital immigrants, are trying to adapt to. At the same time their parents, having become comfortable with computers and the Internet, have felt confident enough to expose them to this technology at every earlier ages. The result is likely to be a wave of genuine digital natives that I am not sure education is ready for.
