leadership www web2.0 pitfalls opportunity plan

  • counteract the New WWW's potentially harmful impact on youth, educators must use technology to create learning experiences that are real, rich, and relevant.
  • Next will come 4G, in which data rates are expected to be 100 times faster than those in this first 3G wave. As the delivery platform of broadband content and functionality shifts from computer to personal device, we will be surrounded by a multimedia aura that accompanies us wherever we go
  • The plan is that you'll use your phone to spend money everywhere, all the time.

  • What choices do we expect them to make if their pockets are loaded with cash and the shelves bulge with penny candy—especially when there's no parent in sight? The choice won't be between yes and no, but between what kind? and what next? Maybe someone needs to watch over this New WWW.
  • Children believe that getting whatever they want will make them happy. As adults, we know otherwise.
  • engaging in personally meaningful actions, and performing service to something larger than themselves.
  • we must also acknowledge that schools have too much of both. But the joy of learning has neither! One of the most powerful definitions of teaching I know comes from Maria Harris: “Teaching is the creation of a situation in which subjects, human subjects, are handed over to themselves”
  • We can “hand students over to themselves.” We can engage them in the joys of learning, of making meaning, of being part of something larger than themselves, of testing themselves against authentic challenges. We can shift them from passivity and consumption to action and creativity. And believe it or not, the New WWW can help us.
  • New WWW shifts learning power to the students themselves.
  • students can demonstrate their learning in a persuasive essay, a sardonic blog, a moving short film, a robust wiki entry, or a humorous podcast, why would we demand deadening conformity?
  • I call this kind of Web site a ClassAct Portal: Class because the site involves a whole class of students; Act because it supports authentic, active learning; ClassAct because it provides a real-world forum for students to exercise their best efforts; and Portal because the site serves as a window to resources, information, activities, and communities.

iwb's training pd howto

shared by Phil Taylor on 19 Apr 10 - Cached
  • I believe that IWB’s are an asset to the classroom. They can seamlessly use web 2.0 applications to engage students in creative and constructive lessons for learning. The important element in this however is the training of the teacher using the IWB. Without training the user, the IWB becomes an expensive video projector or an expensive PowerPoint presentation tool or a very expensive hat rack.
  • with a pilot who had a 747 placed in his driveway as an incentive to fly a bigger plane without training?
  • Kids understand IWB’s and want to use them. It’s the adults who need to be brought along. Creativity should be the focus and remembering should be the support.

iPad teaching edtech benefits

shared by Phil Taylor on 18 Jan 11 - No Cached
  • Again this is an excellent opportunity for teachers to rethink their approach to teaching. How might they promote more student-centred and self-directed learning via personal consumption instead? How might they put the iPads in the hands of learners to promote various forms of collaboration instead?
  • The initial energy needs to be sustained with pedagogies in the marathon that is teaching and learning.

shared by Phil Taylor on 23 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • The schools that “get it” will be the ones that stay ahead of the tech curve. “As educators, we really need to stay on top of this stuff,” said Rios, “instead of constantly playing catch up.”
  • “Schools are smartening up and letting students use their tech tools in innovative ways,”
  • nothing really matters if we introduce technology without changing the process of learning and the way teachers teach.

  • It’s up to us. This is why school needs to focus on real life.  In the end, it’s not the mark on a standardized test that tells me what’s most important about my student’s learning — it’s the compassion they exhibit for another human being.
