    A thoughtful blog entry directed at technology adoption and PD in schools.  As representatives (dare I say ambassadors) of our teams/dept we can lend a helping hand as teachers work to implement tech in their own setting.

    I agree we can help..if teachers are ready to take the leap, but they need to have "buy in" first! A great blog entry

  • iPads were designed as a single-user device and not meant to be shared via cart
  • sharing them separates the functionality from the use
  • Increasingly a 21st century education is less about place and more about space
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Focusing on iPad-versus.-laptop comparisons stifles the ability to see how the iPad facilitates student-centered learning
  • Teachers need instruction on how to incorporate the devices into the learning process, which is quite different than trying out a few apps.
  • Without guidance, iPads become expensive notebooks used by students in very traditionally structured stand-and-deliver classrooms
  • The most common mistake teachers make with iPads is focusing on subject-specific apps
  • Teachers need time

  • 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,

      I see text blogging and video blogging as the same and both can generate the positive behaviors described in the article.
  • When students write deeply, about ideas they care about (in this case, books and reading), their voices organically begin to take shape. Their words start to sound like them and represent them as readers, but more importantly, as people.
  • By having students blog, you are giving them a place to share their love of reading
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Not to say that writing for a teacher contains no value, it does, but when a student writes for an audience of 100 or 1,000, neat things start to happen. The ownership they feel over their words increases.
  • Thanks to the wonderful world of social media, students have a closer connection than ever to their literary celebrities.
  • Online writing is a 21st-century skill

  • Five Card Flickr.” Each drive contains a folder with five photographs downloaded from the photo-sharing website’s royalty-free photo bank. The students pop in the thumb drives and open the folders, and the images blossom on their screens: a pair of dice, a pale and lanky teenage boy, a flower, a parrot, drums, a toddler wearing huge glasses, a tropical island. In pairs, the students get to work, arranging the images in various sequences to tell a story in the form of a play. 
  • “I just want them to think of themselves as creators,” Vail says. “And I didn’t want them writing just another paper. I want them to use technology to actualize their ideas. To dramatize their creativity.”

  • sometimes you have to catch your bees with honey.” 
  • the most successful teachers are like Emily Vail: the ones who don’t revolutionize their pedagogical methods overnight, but take a “slow and steady approach.”
  • learning is often more about process and problem solving than accessing or memorizing static information.
  • “when there’s stress, you just do what works instead of trying something new and different.
  • The fallacy,” Hogan explains, “is that technology makes teaching easier. But it actually allows you to do things you couldn’t do before, which is much, much harder.”
  • n order for the program to be successful, Hogan says, the student needs to have a sense of ownership and accountability.
  • provide lessons of what she calls “digital citizenship,” teaching kids not to text in public, or answer their phones in the middle of conversations. “That’s on the parent,” Gordon says.
