Actually, teachers DON'T have to learn technology - Redefining my role: Teacher as student - 2 views

  • t “most teachers” just don’t put in the effort to incorporate technology into their instruction. I would have to agree, but I think it’s important to ask, “Why should they?”
  • Or do they?… Are their colleagues telling them they have to? Are their administrators telling them they have to? Are the parents telling them they have to? If not, then they don’t have to learn it.
  • I believe it is our responsibility as educators to integrate technology into instruction as much as we are able to

The Innovative Educator: Why I Let My Kids Have an Internet Presence - 0 views

  • So yes, I let my kids have a presence on the internet – first and last name and everything. And though I’m sure there are risks involved, the benefits for us far outweigh them. Here are some of those benefits:
  • They each have email addresses, but I receive copies of every incoming email. I proofread most of what goes back out as well. Youtube comments have to be approved by me, and I don’t allow youtube likes or dislikes. All comments on their websites also come to me for approval. As neither kid is 13 yet, neither of them have facebook accounts. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s not a perfect world. I say we forge ahead and embrace the positives in a smart, informed manner!

  • But first, a caveat: there are exceptions to every generalization I am about to make.
  • irresolvable paradox that, without writing, we would not have Plato's staging of this discussion nor any record at all of Socrates' encounter with Phaedrus or of the Socratic method, nor indeed would there have been an Athens, as such, to remember.

  • The move from a print-centric to a network-centric world? Is this globally significant? Does this revolution in human communication have a cultural dynamic?
  • In this universe, everything revolves around the publisher who controls access to the means of production.
  • Web 2.0, which allows all readers to become writers, is the end of publishing as we have known it since the invention of Gutenberg's printing press
  • Writers still have their dog-earred personal copies of books ready to hand, but now they also have all been issued keys to the globe's virtual Alexandria Library. 
  • the advent of Web 2.0 is the sign of that the apocalypse is at hand and that what lies ahead is a shattering of all the organizing structures of contemporary reality

Zac Hawkins' Plea for Classroom BYOD | Powerful Learning Practice - 3 views

  •  
    As Zac notes in this article, which he wrote spontaneously on his "Bring Your Own Device" while at school, many teachers have been reluctant to allow technology into their classrooms, even if they have that option. Zac suggests it's a trust issue - teachers don't trust students and students decline to demonstrate that they're trustworthy because they feel they are being denied access to what (to them) is a tool for everyday learning in the real world

The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination | Harvard Magazine - 0 views

  • You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.
  • I have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
  • And yet I also learned more about human goodness at Amnesty International than I had ever known before.

  • Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people’s places.
  • What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

Stop Chasing Students And Lead Them Instead - - 0 views

  • The students have already changed. The learning trends of 2012 have changed, too. They’re now approaching the trends of 2020, and here we are today curious about what engages students and what their interests are and how they tend to use the tools they love. That’s reactive design
  • While education struggles to agree on what needs changing and how to make it happen—and why, it should be asked, should we have to agree?—things around us have all exploded, detonated by technology.

Ten Minutes on Twitter | Jennifer L. Scheffer - 0 views

  • In talking with many colleagues about Twitter, I often hear things like: “I just don’t get it.” “I don’t have time for that.” “I have to many other things going on.” “I don’t have a smartphone.” “I don’t want people I don’t know to follow me.”

How to Choose the Right Tablet for Your School - 0 views

  • "When you talk about the choice between Android and iOS, that's a big decision. But the bigger decision is, 'Are we going to change our whole attitude to how we're delivering the lessons to the students?'"
  • "If you have a really slow wireless connection, and you're going to have to solely rely on apps, the amount of educational apps available for the iPad far outnumber what's available for Android and the quality of them," Starr said. But if you have a fast connection and want to use online content at no cost, remember that the majority of that content is based on Flash

What Is Technology? « My Island View - 3 views

  • what we consider to be technology, is totally dependent on when it was introduced into our lives.
  • Rarely do we refer to it or even think about the car as technology, because it has always been with us.
  • Educators should not be so arrogant as to think they have the ability to decide whether or not kids can use these tools for learning. The kids do it with, or without adult permission. Any educator has the right to choose to live in a cave, however, they do not have the right to drag their students in there with them.

  • As long as these technologies exist and continue to move forward, we as educators have an obligation to teach responsible and thoughtful use of these tools.

Why most teachers don't know what they don't know. « My Island View - 1 views

  • Technology is the driving force behind most of the education innovation. It is impacting not only what we can do as educators, but it is also changing how we approach learning. These innovations may have not all reached the education journals yet, but they have been presented and are being discussed digitally and at great length in social media.
  • Information from technology may be easily accessed, but it is not yet a passive exercise. It requires effort and an ability to learn and adapt. These are skills that all educators have, but many may not always be willing to use. The status quo has not required educators to use these skills in a long time. Using these skills requires effort and leaving a long-standing zone of comfort in order to learn and use new methods of information retrieval.
  • They need to be the life-long learners that they want their students to be.

  • In order for teachers to better guide themselves in their learning, they need to know what it is that they need to know. They need relevant questions about relevant changes. Being connected to other educators, who are practicing these changes already, is a great first step.

The Biggest "Game-Changer" in Education | The Principal of Change - 0 views

  • “What do you see as the big ‘game changer’ in education?”
  • The real game changer isn’t something external; it is internal.  It is the way we think and grow.  It is moving from that “fixed” mindset about teaching and learning, and moving to the “growth” mindset.
  •  Change is the one constant that we will always have in our world and if we do not grow and learn to embrace it, then we will become irrelevant.
