how to education system change technology

shared by Phil Taylor on 10 May 12 - No Cached
  • Given the enormous impact that technology has had on nearly every other aspect of our society, how can that be?
  • Today our collective vision for education is broader, our nation is more complex and diverse, and our technical capabilities are more powerful. But we continue to assume the factory-model classroom and its rigid bell schedules, credit requirements, age-based grade levels, and physical specifications when we talk about school reform.
  • our focus should primarily be to design new classroom models that take advantage of what these tools can do.

  • understanding what it is we want students to be able to do, the measures of success, the resources we have to work with, and our own sense of possibility.
  • Different schools may take different approaches to combining these components
  • The Information Age has facilitated a reinvention of nearly every industry except for education. It's time to unhinge ourselves from many of the assumptions that undergird how we deliver instruction and begin to design new models that are better able to leverage talent, time, and technology to best meet the unique needs of each student

  • For generations, youths have showed they would rather sit around and play than go outside and play. It's not technologies' fault if a kid is lazy ... it comes down to parenting, values and the child's disposition.
  • But, there's something else we need to remember: Our values were created in a different time and in a different place.
  • The current jobs the majority of my friends are working at didn't exist as occupations when I was in high school. Should a child be lugging around five textbooks in a backpack that's causing them spinal disc herniation or does an iPad not only enable them to have a lighter load, but the ability - when used properly - to also create, collaborate and engage more with their peers.
  • I would argue that it's not an all-or-nothing proposition

  • the very real task of connecting them more closely to their coursework, to their teachers and to each other.
  • 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.

  • The ban also fails, they say, to take into account the role social networking has had in real-world events - most recently the civil uprising in Egypt - and dismisses some of the rich and meaningful ways students use it, including to display grief and to rally for causes.
