  • Technological change is not additive; it is ecological, which means, it changes everything. —Neil Postman
  • If we see technology simply as additive, our questions will be about the technology
  • it's about addressing the new needs of modern learners in entirely new ways
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • the ecological shifts we need to make: What do we mean by learning? What does it mean to be literate in a networked, connected world? What does it mean to be educated? What do students need to know and be able to do to be successful in their futures? Educators must lead inclusive conversations in their communities around such questions to better inform decisions about technology and change.
  • productive learning is the learning process which engenders and reinforces wanting to learn more
  • wanting to learn more" suggests a transfer of power over learning from teacher to student—it implies that students discover the curriculum rather than have it delivered to them. It suggests that real learning that sticks—as opposed to learning that disappears once the test is over—is about allowing students to pursue their interests in the context of the curriculum
  • with those changes comes a change in the role of the teacher. Teachers must be colearners with kids,

technology engagement motivation

shared by seth_mitchell on 26 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • While kids may initially love technology-inspired lessons in schools simply because they are different from the paper-driven work that tends to define traditional classrooms, the novelty of new tools wears off a lot quicker than digital cheerleaders like to admit.
  • What students are really motivated by are opportunities to be social — to interact around challenging concepts in powerful conversations with their peers.
  • Technology’s role in today’s classroom, then, isn’t to motivate. It’s to give students opportunities to efficiently and effectively participate in motivating activities built around the individuals and ideas that matter to them.

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.
  • 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.
  • professional development plans ultimately need to build towards creating environments where teachers are coaching, guiding, supporting and inspiring one another.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Outside consultants and technology coaches can provide a boost, but really sustained change happens when teachers are teaching each other.
  • 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.

  • The problem, I began to realize, was my own understanding of how the iPads should be utilized in the classroom. I had seen them as a supplement to my pre-existing curriculum, trying to fit them into the structure of what I’d always do
  • ne. This was the wrong approach: To truly change how my classroom worked, I needed a technology-based redefinition of my practice.
  • Here are five lessons I’ve learned about redefining classroom instruction with technology—whether iPads or other tools.

shared by seth_mitchell on 10 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Every day at BCLUW is Digital Learning Day. Technology is not viewed as a separate entity needing a specific time to be etched into the classroom for use, in fact it reminds me a lot of the dichotomy between reading and writing; technology infused curriculum is the norm here, a natural part of pedagogy and student learning.

    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?

      Agreed.  Not sure this is always the teacher's fault, however.  This is usually a result of decisions made by administrators.
