Vineet Madan: The Digital Transformation of Education: A 21st Century Imperative - 0 views

  • As we push forward with the digital transformation of education, it's worth taking a look at just how greatly technology can impact teaching and learning in this country -- and what's at stake, not just for our students but our society as a whole.

  • One of the best ways to do this is to use technology to collect data that tells us where they're strong and where they're weak, how they learn best, and use this data to create personalized pathways
  • The simplest reason why we should continue our push to bring technology to our classrooms is also the best one: it works
  • we must listen to feedback from our teachers and make sure that they have the training and support they need to implement this technology effectively.

Education Week Teacher: Tips for Tech-Cautious Teachers - 1 views

  • So here are some tips and examples I’ve gathered from my classroom and my work as a one-day-a-week tech coach at my school to help teachers better understand and negotiate the digital push in schools. Give Yourself the Time to Learn
  • After asking good questions and doing some reconnaissance on tools and apps that your colleagues love, choose a few. Let yourself dabble with the tools. Become comfortable with their interfaces, and give yourself time to understand their purpose and fit (or lack thereof) for your classroom habits and curriculum. At the same time, allow yourself time to say "no" to other flashy new gadgets and tools while you are exploring.

iPads in Class | Scholastic.com - 2 views

  • Roslyn's rush of attention obscures how the district has undertaken this pilot systematically. "We've been studying 1:1 programs and what's made them successful," says Edward Salina Jr., assistant superintendent for human resources and administration. Both he and Brenner have closely aligned themselves with this project, including overseeing teacher professional development and seemingly small details such as consulting with students about the best iPad covers to buy.
  • Jody Bowie, a high school physics and earth science teacher at Putnam City High School in Northwest, Oklahoma, uses this program to push his students to write their own textbook. He uses an iPad in the classroom, taking advantage of the long battery life and his ability to import Google documents into the program for maximum flexibility.

The 21st Century Teacher - 1 views

  • When students were succeeding in school with no technology, we were also living in a world with little technology, and preparing students for life in a world where technology wasn't a part of their daily lives.  
  • Technology is no substitute for an inspiring teacher. However, on-line materials are far more available. Twenty times more.
  • Because the students have access to the same tools over the web, they can reinforce the ideas by experimenting with the simulations themselves, any time, any where.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Instead of teaching (push), students can be given projects that require them to learn (pull) the necessary material themselves.
  • A vital skill in the new digital world is the ability to work collaboratively on projects with others who may not be physically close.
  • The worldview of the student can be expanded because of the zero cost of communicating with other people around the globe.
  • Students are, of course, all different.
  • To cash in this benefit, schools need to go paperless.

Digitally Speaking / Enhancing and Amplifying Pedagogy with Digital Tools - 0 views

  • iGeners are almost universally plugged in. Ear buds hang from backpacks, and cell phones are stuffed into every pocket. Instant communication has replaced listening to messages, streaming video has replaced waiting for television shows to start, Xboxes have replaced Ataris, digital images have replaced negatives, and high-speed connections have replaced dial-up modems.
  • iGeners aren’t always the best students, however! Working quickly instead of carefully, they infosnack their way through class, flitting from instant experience to instant experience. Reading deeply, considering multiple perspectives and interacting with others in meaningful ways is pushed aside in a race for immediate gratification.
