  • 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.

  • Many of the arguments being made today as to how the Internet is ruining our society were first put forth with the introduction of public speaking, the printed word, telecommunications and so on.
  • should respond to emails at 6 a.m. on a Saturday (emergency or not), this is less about your boss's disposition and more about a common lack of education as to how to best use technology.
  • It's my job to best manage my technology (and not the other way around).

  • 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

  • When was the last time you wrote an essay? When was the last time you read one other than for grading?
  • We need to reframe our conversation about writing from one based on polarities of analog versus digital to one about purpose, passion and relevance.

  • "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

  • We’re going from districts fearing it and blocking it off to welcoming it and making it a major part of their technology plan. We’ll be surprised if a significant portion of districts aren’t using mobile learning inside and outside of schools soon.”
  • Each educator, each class, each school will have to find the best way to integrate mobile devices based on its student population. The opportunity of using mobile devices and all of its utilities allows educators to reconsider: What do we want students to know, and how do we help them? And what additional benefit does using a mobile device bring to the equation? This gets to the heart of the mobile learning issue: beyond fact-finding and game-playing – even if it’s educational — how can mobile devices add relevance and value to how kids learn?
  • personalized learning – students owning what they learn.

    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 formal expression of this is 'technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK),'" Bull says. "TPACK says that you have to know three things to use technology well. You first have to know the content. It's going to be hard to teach calculus if you don't know calculus yourself. You also need to know the pedagogy associated with that content-- the instructional strategies that will be effective. Finally, you need to know the innovation or technology that you're going to then use."

  • We're in the state once described by that great scholar of cyberspace, Manuel Castells, as "informed bewilderment".
  • The idea is that our short-term memory can only hold between five and nine "chunks" of information at any given moment (here a chunk is defined as a "meaningful unit"). So, when trying to decide how many big ideas about the internet would be meaningful for most readers, it seemed sensible to settle for a magical total of nine. So here they are.
  • On a scale of one to five! You have only to ask the questions to realise the fatuity of the idea. Printing did indeed have all of these effects, but there was no way that anyone in 1472, in Mainz (or anywhere else for that matter) could have known how profound its impact would be.

  • 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
