It is good to see higher ed looking at the importance of teaching methods. We know how hard it is to change this in K-12 setting. I can't imagine how hard it will be for higher ed to make a 'paradigm shift'.

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.

Web2.0 Education teaching social media Distraction

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.

1:1 research teaching laptop pedagogy

shared by Bruce Gorrill on 04 Nov 10 - Cached

It’s “impossible to overstate the power of individual teachers in the success or failure of 1-to-1 computing,” Bebell and Kay write. “Teachers nearly always control how and when students access and use [the] technology during the school day. In addition, teachers must make massive investments in time and effort to adapt their teaching materials and practices to make the 1-to-1 environment effective and relevant.”

What's so wrong with schooling? And what are these old structures that lead to the unemployable? I think Don Ledingham's summary of Alan McCluskey from the Swiss Agency for ICT in education sums it up: The 7 Tacit Lessons Which Schools Teach Children: Knowledge is scarce.Learning needs a specific place and specific time (lessons in classrooms).Knowledge is best learnt in disconnected little pieces (lessons).To learn you need the help of an approved expert i.e. a teacher.To learn you need to follow a path determined by a learning expert (a course of study).You need an expert to assess your progress (a teacher).You can attribute a meaningful numerical value to the value of learning (marks, grades, degrees)
