Shaping Tech for the Classroom | Edutopia - 7 views

      I'm all for students having access to email.  What I hear about instant messaging in the classroom, however, makes me wonder. Some pro-tech writing teachers who have the benefit of 1:1 have talked about how challenging it can be to keep kids from being distracted by IMing.
  • The number-one technology request of today's students is to have email and instant messaging always available and part of school.
  • Many teachers, under pressure from all sides, are often so afraid to experiment and to trust their kids with technology that they demand extensive training before they will try anything new. All these factors impede even the many schools trying to change.

      This is where SMWP comes in.  It seems our mission ought to be encouraging folks to do new things in new ways while helping more reluctant digital immigrants make the step toward doing old things in new ways.

How My Learning Has Changed « - 1 views

  • So, having also recently attended an EdCamp, I can say there is something between that and a traditional conference that would be best for how I want to learn.  And, I am okay with giving up a Saturday (with the promise of a bagged lunch) to sit in a high school to talk teaching and learning.

      Boy, this sounds a whole lot like SMWP's upcoming tech conference.
  •  If I am going to travel to conferences, then I need it to add value — not only to come away with new ideas, but new tools that I have had the chance to try, and the experience I couldn’t have had if I were not there.
  • What I need now is a chance to spend time making sense of what I am hearing — I crave the opportunity to engage with the smart people who are with me in the room.

  • Focussed visits to districts, schools and classes are very powerful, with specific objectives and learning in action and not only in a presentation.  I also find the traditional ‘study group’ to continue to have a huge impact on my learning.

  • 10. Write routinely over extended time frames (time for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.

  •  
    Great reminder for teachers in our institutes who feel overwhelmed by too many options... We say this all the time, but it doesn't hurt to hear it from someone else.
