how do we use technology
in schools now?

• In a review of 100 studies of
ILSes, Henry Jay Becker
found that they “provided little
evidence of ILS impact on
student achievement.

• With a traditional instructional
use of computers, the
emphasis is placed on having
students use technology for
the reinforcement and
remediation of skills.

We Expect Technology
to Raise Test Scores

(by 10%...fairy dust)

We block access because
we are afraid....

We can't continue to give
the most powerful tool in
recent history for teaching
and then take away their
ability to teach
responsibility and self-
monitoring and self-
direction...

...we've taken away the
ability of educators to
develop that responsibility
in students and in
students for them to take
http://tinyurl.com/2t882m responsibility for that.
--Dr. Don Knezek

How can technology make

learning more real?
• The resulting
inauthenticity of
classroom activity
makes it difficult for
children to see how
school learning applies
to their lives
(Perchman, 1992).


How can newer technologies re-awaken a
sincere passion for learning?

seen the reports?

Can someone overseas do it

cheaper?

Can a computer do it faster?

Is what I’m offering in demand in
an age of abundance?

how do you facilitate
conversations?


Schooling by Design

Grant Wiggins and Jay
McTighe

1. Begin with an essential question related to real-world
issues or problems (needing consideration across many
topics).

2. Ask students to brainstorm and do preliminary research
related to the question or issue. Introduce the content as a
potentially helpful resource for solving the problems. Lecture
and drill only as needed to equip students to address the
challenge.

3. Frame the unit around a culminating assessment task
requiring transfer. Use quizzes only to provide
supplementary evidence related to discrete knowledge and
skill. Then design the lessons backward from what students
will need in order to do well at the task.

4. Frame additional units around other essential questions.


How can we facilitate experiences that
engage intellectually, emotionally, require
creativity and collaboration...help children
make a meaningful difference?
