technology learning focus

shared by Russ Goerend on 29 Jun 09 - Cached
  • Now, I have arrived at a point in the process where I believe that it is not (never was) about technology. To make a difference, it has always been about good teaching, reflecting and focusing on (relevant?) student learning.

      Silvia isn't alone in recognizing that good teaching is more important than technology integration, but she does a nice job of pointing out why.

  • A teacher keeps attendance and grade records on the computer.

      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.

      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.

      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!

  • I want to be paperless. Teaching and learning without paper! No paper. The question becomes, how far am I willing to go and what am I willing to do to make that happen?

  • o, if you set up Google Apps: Education Edition, collect parent consent for students to use it, and control the student accounts yourselves, you’re in good shape with respect to COPPA.

walkman News ipod kids students natives digital analog tape

shared by Russ Goerend on 29 Jun 09 - Cached
  • In some classes in school they let me listen to music and one teacher recognised it and got nostalgic.
  • It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette.

      I *love* this paragraph! Talk about a digital divide.
  • Throughout my week using the Walkman, I came to realise that I have very little knowledge of technology from the past. I made a number of naive mistakes, but I also learned a lot about the grandfather of the MP3 Player.

      I got goosebumps reading this paragraph. Look at those verbs: realise, made mistakes, learned. Wow.
