    This is one of an occasional blog post from BIE's partner schools and districts. There was a time when I felt it was a challenge to change the habits of my students. Then I attempted to change adults. Adult secondary teachers, no less.

    When George Couros linked Brad Gustafson to the phrase "innovate inside the box", I knew I'd need to find and follow him. I think we all need to strive to be more innovative with what we have; taxpayers can't always be asked for more. And then I discovered he also highlights World Book Talking Championships on his blog. Yes! Both the librarian and the tech integrationist in me are intrigued!

  • Catfishing schemes, or romance scams, continue to plague social networking services. In fact, the issue has become so common that there’s a good chance that one of your recent “friend” requests actually came from a scammer versus someone who is actually interesting in pursuing a genuine friendship. Unfortunately, social networks on the whole seem content to turn a blind eye on the problem, despite the fact that people lose thousands of dollars to these types of scams every day.

    In reading about some of the negative sides of using technology, I related to this guys blog about scams, hackers, and catfishers. I've had many experiences like this. He was also able to give fair warnings to educators about some common things they might face when teaching their kids technological tools.

  • Ultimately I focused on the underlying learning objectives that I wanted, complete with students, and found digital tools to complement or enhance those skills.
  • The key in all of this is good instructional design along with a consistent vision and culture built by school administration.
  • An administrator's biggest mistake is to make technology seem like a mandated item
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • However, when you're starting out with tech integration, find a focus.
  • Ultimately it's not about how many apps we integrate, but about providing our students with the best access and opportunities to contemporary learning resources

  • Successful schoolwide technology integration ultimately requires a schoolwide cultural shift
  • In explaining how people become digitally literate, breadth of use, experience, gender, and education are more important than generation
