  • While many educators still see technology and the Internet as just ways to obtain or manage information, Tomlinson sees it as a lot more. "It's about whole new ways to work and think and learn, to conduct your business and your life," says Tomlinson.
  • With the right support and leadership, Tomlinson says, teachers can have the best of both worlds: they can build strong literacy skills while using technology to push students into higher levels of learning.

  • "It will not be on 'official' channels and much of it will be 'under our radar' and on their own time. But this will change the relationships and deepen them between our classes. And more important, it changes our role as teachers and leaders of student learning."

Education Week: Swine-Flu Preparations Spur E-Learning Plans - 0 views

  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said. The organization has crafted instructions to help schools, districts, and states make use of the resources on Curriki that could be helpful in the event of school closures. For example, teachers can post content from their curricula or flag curricular materials that already exist in the Web site’s database of resources for student use, said Ms. Kurshan.

  • clausen wrote: The district I work in is the third poorest school district in the state and many of the students with working-class families may not have access to computers with Internet. I realize that an alternative would be to create packets and assignments in hard copy to these students' homes but aside from the technologies discussed in this article and the paper alternative how do we reach those students who are "unplugged," from technology? Is it right for students with technology in his/her home to continue working with interactive lessons, wikis, and blogs that can be structured to accommodate reading and learning differences while other students can't? In turn, isn't this widening the learning gap between students in working-class families and upper-class families? 9/13/2009 12:14 AM EDT on EdWeek

      And shouldn't that be what is in the forefront of people's minds while they are limiting the money put into educaiton? How can we teach students "21st Century Skills," if we don't have the technology to teach, show, and do. You can't get the skills without having the tools.

  • All that raises a fundamental question about technology's ultimate impact on workers. Will this be a new world of empowered individuals encased in a bubble of time-saving technologies? Or will it be a brave new world of virtual sweatshops, where all but a tech-savvy few are relegated to an always-on world in which keystrokes, contacts, and purchases are tracked and fed into the faceless corporate maw?
