Editor's Notes

  • #2 CoursesTrainingExperienceDegreeBooksPeople
  • #3 Beginners mindset – Flexible / Adaptable – Knowledge Seekers– Curious – Learn in multiple ways – Teach – Attitude
  • #4 Optimism – cognitive Most if not all of us carry both categories at least at timesWhere do you spend most of your thinking?Cognitive thinking of a learner may take practice so with your discussion this morning revolving around technology the learner side is where we need to be
  • #8 Break into their learning groupsDiscuss how their style fits them – give examples (me, words spelling)discuss next slideThen after discussion have them mix up to their tables.
  • #10 Get into your groups and discuss your learning style (about 5-6min)Nominate one member to summarize your learning style if group is over 10 then get into sub-groups
  • #11 82 yrs oldis an Americanwriter andfuturist, known for his works discussing the digital revolution, communication revolution, corporate revolution and technological singularity.Former editor of Fortune Then he moved to examining the reaction of and changes in society. His later focus has been on the increasing power of 21st century military hardware, weapons and technology proliferation, and capitalism.He is a principal of Toffler & Associates, a consulting company, and was a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation, visiting professor at Cornell University, faculty member of the New School for Social Research, a White House correspondent, an editor of Fortune magazine, and a business consultant.[3]
  • #12 Think of the industries that have been transformed by technology:History – industrial revolutionMedicalAdvertisingMusicSnail mailTV – competing with internetOf course Education – but how much? Have it kept pace with exponential increase in technology?
  • #13 Social NetworksFacebook, MySpace Delicious, Diigo Deviant ArtYouTubePodcastingBloggingWhat words did you hear these students use?Would you agree that Technology is embedded in their life?When they have a project something to create they will think differently than you. No posters with markers probably.
  • #14 Is Not an solution to good educationIt Is a necessary Tool in our student lives, workplace, in our culture today and tomorrowDo you think that if students use their tools that they are more comfortable using for learning that their motivation and engagement would increase? It is like a quill pen when you have a ink pen at home or in your pocket.4. Tapping into their world for creativity, collaborating skills, makes learning seem more significant.Technology is Exponentially growing and has since before the Apple II in 1977Apple 1977 WWW 1989 -91Better FasterEasierAffordableChanging

  • #17 ISTE: International Society for Technology in Education has National Education Technology Standards that educators from around the globe has agreed to for Students, Teachers, Administrators and Technology Leaders.We could spend a week looking at these and what they look like and how to begin or advance. But lets take a few minutes and briefly go over these. They are also on the server along with the By Grade profile. If you wondering where you should target for this is a good place.
  • #21 Technology changes fastWhat you have learned changesSo you unlearnThen relearn the newHow is that bad?We could talk a week on this but lets end its challenging
  • #22 Professional Development?Training?School – degrees?BooksExperience / EmotionOthersHelpWhich ones would you place at the top?
  • #23 Innovation
  • #24 As professionals how do we support each other in our learning & teaching of each otherHow can you share what you are doing, what you are learning to be a better professional
  • #27 Are these obstacles personalAre some personalAttitudesBurn outFearsLack of knowledgeObstacles – resistersA force that tends to oppose or delay motionI can ignore the change (who can say that)my needs are already met hereI have invested heavily hereI do not want to change because…the destination looks worse than where I am nowI am in the middle of something importantthere is nothing to attract me forwardsThe journey look painfulthe destination or journey is somehow bad or wrongI don’t trust those inchargeI am able to ignore the changeI can ignore the change (who can say that)
