  • Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano, author of the Langwitches blog, notes, “it is [the teacher's] responsibility to use it beyond a ‘glorified projector screen’. It requires a shift in thinking from the teacher’s part to see a SmartBoard not ‘only’ as a teaching tool, but as a learning tool”

  • As educators what do we want from e-textbooks?
  • need to be visually stunning
  • e-textbooks need to have an inherent interactivity that engages
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • should be a fascinating read
  • e-Textbooks that are constantly update
  • able to change the variables so that the effects are changed accordingly
  • non-linear interactive media that allows the students the freedom to negotiate their own learning activities
  • visuals that can be dismantled in order to focus on one aspect
  • Can we monitor a students progress?
  • E-Textbooks are a tool, a tool that in the hands of good teachers and motivated students would produce some absolutely special results. E-Textbooks are only part of the solution. What we need is a situation where student buy-in to their own education. This is where you really see student engagement. 
  • What I really think is this! I think this is the most exciting time in history to be involved in education

shared by Phil Taylor on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • for the most part, schools have incorporated these 21st century instructional techniques and tools as add-ons to the teacher-centric 19th century classroom structure, in which the majority of the curriculum is pulled from a textbook, and, despite best intentions, most students learn the same thing in the same way at the same time.
  • what exactly is personalized learning? And why is technology so central to its outcomes?
  • personalized learning as an instructional approach that encompasses both differentiation and individualization, but is also flexible in content or theme to match the specific interests and prior experiences of learners

  • 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.

  • The Internet is no longer just a consumer-based platform; the Internet is now a consumer/producer-based platform. Are we allowing our student to create content on the Internet? Are we allowing our students to blog, to communication, and to collaborate with other students all over the world? As educators, this is the challenge of our time; are we teaching like we taught yesterday, or are we teaching in order to prepare our students for their tomorrow?
