2¢ Worth » Suggestions for School Board Members - 0 views

  • Respect & pay attention to the kids Give learners a voice Hire learners to teach Seize “almost” every opportunity to replace books with digital content (ouch) Pursue 1:1 carefully, but urgently Support the infrastructure Make sure that the tech staff works for the teachers The best thing we can teach our children today, is how to teach themselves When you visit the school, be happy when you see learning.  Be suspicious when you see too much teaching.

      Warlick's suggestions for educational leaders. I pay special attention to the overall theme: learners.

What Is Effective Technology Integration? | Clif's Notes - 0 views

  • A teacher keeps attendance and grade records on the computer.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      If the computer is connected to the office, meaning there won't be prinouts and wasted paper, then I'd say "sure, this is effective."
  • B. Students use concept mapping software to help them organize information for a research paper. C. A first grade class practices math facts while playing Number Munchers in the computer lab.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      If the technology is being used to support the learning, then I'd say "Yes." If it was "How can I use tech? If we play Number Munchers/use concept mapping software, then we'll find some way to make it learning" then I'd say "no." Learning comes first.
  • D. Students use the classroom computers to check their email and read the news at ESPN.com during their free time.
    • Russ Goerend
       
      I'm going to say "yes" and defend it this way: #1 we *do not* own our students' time. Even when they are in school. The two examples Clif gives show students engaged in Literacy of their own making. That is great!
