This Time It's Personal -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • for the most part, schools have incorporated these 21st century instructional techniques and tools as add-ons to the teacher-centric 19th century classroom structure, in which the majority of the curriculum is pulled from a textbook, and, despite best intentions, most students learn the same thing in the same way at the same time.

  • Given the enormous impact that technology has had on nearly every other aspect of our society, how can that be?
  • Today our collective vision for education is broader, our nation is more complex and diverse, and our technical capabilities are more powerful.

DigiGogy: Digital Bloom's Visual - 0 views

  • Where pedagogy is about methods to instruct, Digigogy is about those methods, but with a technological frame. From hardware to software, from tech ed theory to application, Digigogy is about reframing our methods in the future of instruction. The new way of learning is a complete tear down and rebuild of traditional teaching, where learning is a joint effort and roles are reborn. Beyond the desks...beyond the walls...beyond the school. The new classroom is orbital, and scenic, and here.

  • “Yeah it does all that and it’s a phone!”  Amidst a cacophony of reverent Oooh’s and Ahh’s, I unknowingly witnessed the birth of the Smart-Phone and the death knell of the PDA.  I bring this up because I recently was approached by someone who told me that our school should get rid of all PC’s and give everyone iPads.
  • but the tablet format could lead to changes in education.
