  • f we stand a chance of having students ‘unplug’ themselves willingly and engage in ‘deeper thought’ more often than ‘superficial thought’ in their leisure or work, they must understand why deeper thought is more important, and why it is better to put it before the ‘rush’ and instant gratification of technology.

    "As with most workshops, the overwhelming influx of ideas from Alan's workshop left teachers with a mix of emotions, feeling somewhere in-between, "I'm not doing enough" and "There's so much out there, I want to try everything now!" A suggestion that Mike Pelletier aptly calls, "TBC" (Tech Baby Steps) is always a good idea. Begin with just one thing that grabbed your attention and go with it - make it work for your classroom, not as an add-on, but as an integration."

  • 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

  • robbing kids of their ability to concentrate
  • The question, though, is: distraction from what? And also: What’s inherently wrong with distraction?
  • Formal education, as we’ve framed it, is not only about finding ways to learn more about the things we love, but also, equally, about squelching our aversion to the things we don’t — all in the ecumenical spirit of generalized knowledge.

  • It’s not ruining what was; it’s simply moving on. We don’t write like the Romantics anymore, not because we can’t enjoy or appreciate what they write, but because that is simply not the world we live in.

Technology Engage teaching learning

shared by Phil Taylor on 29 Nov 10 - No Cached
  • What are we doing as educators to meaningfully engage our students, to give them the autonomy, purpose, and opportunity for mastery which they crave and to which they respond with focus, energy, enthusiasm, and diligence?
  • Do we think that before technology, most students avoided distraction?
  • Yes, of course, students can and do get distracted when their computers and smartphones are open on their desk or lap, and teachers need to respond thoughtfully to this problem.    It is fine for teachers to ask students to put them away in certain times.    William Stites has a terrific post about how schools can confront and manage the technological distraction issues

  • The world is changing, faster and faster, and we do need to be thoughtful and intentional about how technology is used by our students, and we do need to strive for healthy balance.

  • Connecting with others is a satisfying experience
  • Being connected is at best a conduit
  • What’s important with a PLN is not “what it does for me” but rather how I can use it to change things in education, society, or the world. Learning networks give us potential for action.
