  • The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.
  • Sanne Yde Schmidt, who heads the project at Greve, says: "If we're going to be a modern school and teach them things that are relevant for them in modern life, we have to teach them how to use the internet."

    Some high schools in Denmark are beginning to allow students access to the internet during exams. Exciting stuff, and fantastic to see countries looking into more open forms of assessment. I will be interested to see how quickly other nations follow Denmark's lead in this regard. Tools like Diigo would be a fantastic method of preparation for student's sitting these exams.

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.
