  • robbing kids of their ability to concentrate
  • The question, though, is: distraction from what? And also: What’s inherently wrong with distraction?
  • Formal education, as we’ve framed it, is not only about finding ways to learn more about the things we love, but also, equally, about squelching our aversion to the things we don’t — all in the ecumenical spirit of generalized knowledge.

  • He just doesn’t care about algebra.
  • The web inculcates a follow your bliss approach to learning that seeps
  • It’s a bottom-up shift that our top-down education systems, and journalism along with them, are grappling with.

      The real issue? What is the correct balance?
  • It’s not ruining what was; it’s simply moving on. We don’t write like the Romantics anymore, not because we can’t enjoy or appreciate what they write, but because that is simply not the world we live in.

Technology Engage teaching learning

shared by Phil Taylor on 29 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • What are we doing as educators to meaningfully engage our students, to give them the autonomy, purpose, and opportunity for mastery which they crave and to which they respond with focus, energy, enthusiasm, and diligence?
  • 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.    It is fine for teachers to ask students to put them away in certain times.    William Stites has a terrific post about how schools can confront and manage the technological distraction issues

  • The world is changing, faster and faster, and we do need to be thoughtful and intentional about how technology is used by our students, and we do need to strive for healthy balance.

  • We have to “re-train ourselves to become comfortable with sustaining our attention on a single goal and for young people, who may have never developed this skill, to learn the value and to appreciate the value and to even feel the value of sustained attention.”

  • I think that it is reasonable to take technology "time outs," to have environments and maybe even times where the family interacts with each other and not the outside world through texts. It's sort of a return to the dinner table as a place where you learn how to engage in face-to-face, meaningful contact. Put your tech aside. You can return to it afterwards.

  • Note-passing is the bane of a teacher’s existence and this method is technological. Again, there are procedures in place for passing notes. The teacher needs only to now stipulate written or digital; problem solved.
  •  Smartphones are powerful, mobile, personal learning devices.  But of course, there is that damned control issue thing.
  • Why not teach them how to maximize their learning. We can’t expect them to use the technology appropriately if they “learn it on the streets”.

  • is change in behavior came mainly because we got over the newness of browsing and had other, more important things to do and we learned how to prioritize our time again.
  • the benefits of printing were almost eclipsed by complaints about increased output: swarms of new books were glutting the market and once venerated authors were being neglected.
