One-to-one professional development often begins with examining teaching methodology and exploring how this can be changed in order to begin to include the use of the technology to create a profounder, more engaging, more creative learning experience. This usually includes some focus on new skills around creative and critical thinking, connecting ideas, and communicating and collaborating with a variety of people, ranging from local students to experts from around the world.

It can be difficult to shift your role when all around you people are expecting and even evaluating you based on the old definition of what a teacher should be and do

-
Do we think that before technology, most students avoided distraction?
-
Yes, of course, students can and do get distracted when their computers and smartphones are open on their desk or lap, and teachers need to respond thoughtfully to this problem.

Digitally Speaking / Enhancing and Amplifying Pedagogy with Digital Tools - 0 views
-
iGeners are almost universally plugged in. Ear buds hang from backpacks, and cell phones are stuffed into every pocket.

However, if we focus on a core set of essential skills -- communication, collaboration, connection and creation -- and start to develop curricula that will benefit our students regardless of the technology, then we can truly embrace a mobile curriculum.
Why banning technology is not the answer - The Learner's Way - 1 views
-
Connected devices should inject new opportunities, knowledge, data, influencers and thinking into our debates and add value not distraction.
-
The question of student distractibility is worth further exploration.
-
Technology does not need to be a part of every aspect of our lives. We need to learn when it is the best tool, when it plays a part on the sidelines and when it is best left out of the equation.
