How is technology affecting teaching and learning?
Who is the expert? People don't necessarily become an expert through the traditional means.
Students need new literacy skills. They need to know how to sort through the overwhelming amount of information and determine what is accurate and viable.
The teacher gives control back to the students.
Give students access to the real world. They're actually participating, not just practicing.
What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 Wiki
A culture of openness.
A culture of collaboration.
Experimenting and failing are free. You can go online and create something - try it out - for free.
Steve Hargadon's Conclusions:
Students will become increasingly autonomous.
Schools will be expected to provide more customization.
The coming innovation will not be easy. We do not have a good model for computers in schools.
Computer labs? Computers in the back of the classroom? Mobile labs? 1 to 1 student computers?
What do you think?
