Tablets Will Transform the Classroom [OPINION] - 0 views

mashable.com/...tablet-education

shared by Phil Taylor on 18 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • How on earth does a teacher create an engaging lesson for 32 different learners, especially when each learner carries his own individualized learning style? It’s at this very point that tablet integration gets exciting.
  • When the correct apps are applied to the appropriate subject on a creative touchable interface, learners are free to work at different paces, in the same class and with the same teacher. The teacher then becomes free to work with the different ability groups, and to focus on developing the day’s curriculum.
  • I’m hoping that teachers continue to welcome the forthcoming opportunities in digital education. The tablet interface and app potential is a great step forward for the brilliant educators across the world.

  • Do you master the device or master the pedagogy? Are you going to ask ‘what’ or are you going to ask ‘how?’ It’s key to understand that technology is not a magic bullet, but only a tool for learning. It takes time to master before you can unlock its potential.

teaching fears balance edtech

shared by Phil Taylor on 08 Jul 15 - No Cached
  • Just like we wouldn't allow a 16-year-old who has never driven to go on a solo trip in our new car, we have a responsibility to guide our students in discerning good technology usage. When teachers say, "No, I don't want it in my classroom," they are limiting potential for their learning environment and for each student individually.  We must reach beyond our fears, hesitantly if need be, and embrace change and technology so our students can be future-ready.

  • Dr. Papert begins at the 20-minute mark.
  • Papert explores constructionism vs. instructionsm, the potential of the Internet, teacher "training," the choice between Monday and Someday, as well as what we can learn from watching children play video games OR what children can learn by making video games.

    Listen carefully at around 27:00 about uncertainty of impact on new social connections via screens... 38:00 "We need to maximize the ration of learning:teaching" 53:00 Teacher needs to be more of a philosopher than technician 62:35 onward: Teachers wait for "training" because that is the traditional paradigm of learning. As we get more "sophisticated", we stop learning (on our own) and wait for training (the teacher as technician/pedagogy). We need to embrace a new paradigm of learning over teaching (constructionism/constructivism)...

  • He discovered a profound disconnect between what potential employers are looking for in young people today (critical thinking skills, creativity, and effective communication) and what our schools are providing (passive learning environments and uninspired lesson plans that focus on test preparation and reward memorization).

  • they're not "designing and sharing information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes." Nor are they "building relationships with others to solve problems collaboratively and cross-culturally." And as far as "managing, analyzing and synthesizing multiple streams of information?"
  • National Council of Teachers of English feels a "literate person" should be able to do right now
  • If we don't talk about how learning is changing first, the schools we create will continue to be places of "tinkering on the edges" instead of truly changed spaces.

  • the reality for my kids and yours is that they are going to be immersed in these spaces, potentially connecting and learning with two billion strangers, required to make sense of huge flows of information and creating and sharing their knowledge with the world.

  • Connecting with others is a satisfying experience
  • Being connected is at best a conduit
  • What’s important with a PLN is not “what it does for me” but rather how I can use it to change things in education, society, or the world. Learning networks give us potential for action.

  • 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.

  • Instead of dismissing social media as distracting or destructive, schools should embrace it as an essential part of the curriculum. Not only does this limit the potential for students to abuse the technology, but it opens a new set of valuable educational tools.

  • they are understanding a complex text and making sense of it within the context of their own lives.   No parent wants more, no teacher does, than for kids to be able to not just "read" Shakespeare but to understand why his work still speaks urgently to the present, why it is worth taking the time to read all that odd English from another time
  • We are not responsible as educators unless we are teaching not just with technology but through it, about it, because of it.   We need to make kids understand its power, its potential, its dangers, its use.  That isn't just an investment worth making but one that it would be irresponsible to avoid.

  • Not that this is a truly radical idea, Einstein understood this and stated ‘Education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of a mind to think’.
  • If our goal is to teach students to swim we would not do so by pushing them into the sea, but we would also not expect them to learn to swim without ever getting into the water.
  • go back to trying to understand how we may best support our students achieve their potential and prepare for a world beyond our classrooms
