Good Teachers Don't Need Technology | doug woods - 6 views

  • For me a good teacher will know that ‘learning’ is more important than ‘teaching’.
  • A good teacher will select and match resources to fit the ability and levels of the learners. A good teacher will not reject a resource simply because it is a technology resource
  • For me a good teacher will make effective and extensive use of technology to support learning. A good teacher will be constantly evaluating the technology and will be seeking new ways of using technology in their teaching. A good teacher will observe how the learners use technology and will seek to harness such uses to support learning.

  • A teacher in the 21st century who doesn’t feel that technology can help them in their teaching is probably not a good teacher.

Are Classroom Gadgets Worth the Money? | Education | Change.org - 2 views

  • 66% of teachers surveyed indicated that they received less than eight hours of technology training in the previous year. 13% if those received no training at all. That is simply absurd.
  • Here is a suggestion though. Instead of pouring money into the latest and greatest item and relying on the "wow" factor to keep students paying attention, schools should invest in professional development workshops that teach instructors how to create interactive and dynamic learning environments using the technology they already have. If they do this, schools will find that their dollar goes a lot farther towards improving student performance.
