  • 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.
  • students thirst for connections between what they're learning in the classroom (and how) and what they see happening in the real world
  • Increasing engagement is about

  • 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.

  • greater challenge, the researchers wrote, is in expanding teachers' knowledge of new instructional practices that will allow them to select and use the right technology, in the right way, with the right students, for the right purpose.
  • Google Docs. The application's power to support collaborative writing and in-depth feedback, however, was not being realized. Teachers were not encouraging group-writing assignments and their feedback focused overwhelmingly on issues such as spelling and grammar, rather than content and organization.
  • experts seem to agree on: so-called "job-embedded" professional development that takes place consistently during the workday

  • Hardware and software do not help our students learn in the absence of a teacher. It is completely up to the teacher whether or not an IWB is used effectively in the classroom.
  • When the students came to the board and were able to physically touch the content, the hardware barrier between the student and the content was blurred, and the students seemed to be controlling the content directly versus controlling the content via the mouse.

  • As much as some people may yearn for the simpler times of the past, life will continue to move forward as the natural order of society requires.
  • If we do not take time to understand new information and how it interacts with what we do, we, as a profession, may go the way of typewriters, photographic film, super 8 film, 8 track cassettes, landline telephones, or block-ice refrigeration.
  • Staying up-to-date, relevant, on information in your own profession is a moral imperative. We can’t expect what we learned as college students to carry us through a 30 or 40-year career.

  • Members of any profession need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues to understand and improve their skills. Face-to-face collaboration is personal, but is limited by boundaries of time and space. Participants must have a common time and place for collaboration. Digital collaboration has no bounds of time or space, and collaboration can take place anytime with anyone, anywhere.
  • Technology is not a generational thing, it is a learning thing. It may be outside many educators’ comfort zones, but comfort zones are the biggest obstacles to education reform.
  • The time has come for educators to accept that they no longer have a choice about technology. To maintain relevance as educators, they need to employ relevant technology learning tools for education, connect and collaborate with other professionals to improve their skills and knowledge within their profession, and use PLNs to improve their profession and hold off the barbarian politicians and business people banging down the gates of education

  • Computers are about creative opportunities, not consumption and recall Computers are a tool that is ubiquitous in the real world (so why not in the classroom) Computers are not meant to support an old system, they are meant to change it
  • whether we like it or not, they are the most powerful learning, creating, and communicating tool ever created. Why wouldn’t we want our students to use them in the classroom?
