This article is long-ish, but it brings up one of my biggest concerns about technology and whether or not we should use it so much. It talks about they way kids' brains are changing to a multi-tasking mode, leaving them unable to focus for a longer period of time on any one thing. How does our work respond to this? If our kids are always on their screens, and then we start using them a lot in school, we are increasing their screen time. But then, our approach is more "focused and academic," right? Does that make it ok?

technology PD workshops

shared by seth_mitchell on 06 Aug 12 - No Cached

workshops should begin and end by having people think and write about their learning goals. Workshops and series should be named after learning goals rather than tools.
...

Cancel
involves introducing tools not by the unconscionably boring "click-along-with-the-presenter" method, but by giving participants a logical series of steps to perform and having them figure out how to do them through play, exploration, peer and facilitator support.
...

Cancel
professional development plans ultimately need to build towards creating environments where teachers are coaching, guiding, supporting and inspiring one another.

Outside consultants and technology coaches can provide a boost, but really sustained change happens when teachers are teaching each other.

Cancel
It's not about technology, it about learning. It's not about tools, it's about goals. It's not about new gizmos, it's about enduring pedagogy.
