From Distraction to Engagement: Wireless Devices in the Classroom (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) ... - 0 views

  •  
    The "professor versus laptop (or other wireless access device)" issue is a false construct if we view technology-mediated learning as a social system offering many ways to alter one component and thus change the whole system. Rather than seeing distraction as a challenge, educators can see it as an opportunity to reflect upon and change the design of their entire instructional approach. Creative and innovative educators can use technology innovations to help reform teaching, similar to the way Guttenberg's press helped bring about scientific revolution and modern authorship.

    "When you cram any innovation, in any sector, into an existing model, that model basically usurps it, conforms it to the way the model already operates," says Michael Horn, a co-author of Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns. "It doesn't fundamentally change that factory model in a way that's student-centric. It doesn't give each student what [he or she] really need[s]."

  • by Michael Zimmer from the blog: The Pursuit of Technology Integration Happiness 1. Technology integration is THE ANSWER to improving test scores. 2. New teachers have a better understanding of how to integrate technology integration in schools. 3. Current teachers have no desire to learn how to integrate technology in their classrooms. 4. Integrating technology is too expensive for my school to afford. 5. I don’t have time to learn how to integrate technology in the classroom. 6. There can’t possibly be any technology to integrate in the subject matter that I teach. 7. I have to know EVERYTHING about the technology before I can integrate it. 8. My students have a better understanding of the technology, and that is embarrassing.

Won't the students be distracted? - 1 to 1 Schools - 1 views

  •  
    We need to teach responsible behavior!  If you don't allow for it, they will do it anyway!  Next time you walk into a workshop with educators,  notice how many checking those networks during the presentation. One-to-one schools have a unique opportunity to keep students MORE engaged by providing multiple stimuli and differentiated tools.  Some students may love the collaborative notes, others the lecture, and others a multitude of things.  Having a conversation about what distracted and engaged looks like with your students may be a great place to start.
