“Does technology improve anyones learning?”

 ...no, and we should be asking

“Does technology support the practices that improve learning?” 

Why? What? When?Why should we use Digital Media in eduction?

Digital Media - using, sharing, producing

Why and how to use Digital Media?Why and how to share things?Why and what to produce? Why and how to collaborate?

What are the reasons, materials, methods and practicalities for all of this and collaboration?

?1. This is the research Question in our collaborative Inquiry workshop.2. Objective is to outline and build our eTwinning initiative / project.3. Select a model, define structure and identify initial learning goals.4. Make the learning process visible for using, sharing, collaborating.

The focus is on theLearners Learning Process!

- learning process perspective (you, colleagues, school, partners)

- with identified learning stages, situations and goals- structure according to selected pedagogical model- multiple solutions to operationalize each step or stage

- Each stage in the process can be a set of operations.- Each stage can include a multiple approaches- Place your learning process so that co-learners have access, different stages and steps can be easily incorporated or linked.- One step or stage can include all the stages of inquiry process

 (10 Principles of the Future Education,July 5th, 2009 by Jason Flom)

To further deepen our understanding, we need to look closer into the context of Education and learning - where are we

heading...

Why we need to use/learn technology?

We need to engage learners with these tools! If we dont, they will do so on their own. -- critical analyzation of information-- experimenting needs to be safe

We need the tools to make this happen!

...and we have done this mistake once already with media (medialiteracy)!

3 Steps for 21st Century Learning

• Transform your classroom into a Creative Learning Space > talk, build, create, collaborate

• Teach students the skills ofcompetition (with them selves), cooperation and collaboration

• Introduce your students to their global peers and provide the opportunity for them to collaborate.(Jackie Halaw )

Teachers today instill curiosity, extend possibilities, make connections, engage students, excite learners to solve problems of new generation. Teachers today overcome obstacles to create learning oppotunities for students and them selves.

"  Culture is defined as the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular group. It is how

people act on what they believe. The qualities, that are in the people and group, arise from a

concern for what they regard as excellent in manners and scholarly pursuits. It is a blend of

their vision, mission, beliefs and values."

Keeping Kids First 

April 19, 2009 by Kelly Hines  (Edurati Review at http://www.eduratireview.com/)

Learning and Teaching are not the same thing.  How many times have we heard a colleague say, “I don’t know why these kids don’t get it. I’ve taught it a hundred times.” I equate teaching and learning to a basic physics principle. If an object does not move, no matter how much force has been applied, no work has been done. Therefore, if a student has not learned, not matter how much effort has been exerted, no teaching has been done. Teaching in the 21st century is going to be about working smarter and not harder. It is not about adding to our proverbial plates. We must look at learning as the product of a successful day. Learning will not look the same to all students or all teachers, but it must be the goal.  

Technology is useless without good teaching.  We have countless technological tools at our disposable today. When we put innovative tools in the hands of innovative teachers, amazing things can happen. If you put these tools in the hands of teachers who are not willing to innovate, money has been wasted. There are arguments against spending the money on interactive whiteboards for classrooms. At approximately 2000€ each, you would think these boards would facilitate better teaching. It is not about the board. It is about proper training and mindset of a teacher who is already willing and eager to do amazing things. The lack of comprehensive and curriculum-related professional development for teachers is why schools have thousands of computers that are being used as game systems and word processors.

Jorgie's formula for teaching

T = (L + R + C)Ch

Teaching (T) equals Learning(L) plus Retention (R) plus connections(C) multiplied by change (Ch). If what I do doesn't cause people to change the way they behave I haven't really taught them anything. It doesn't have to have a life altering effect on them, but maybe a slight course correction that sends them into a new direction. Everything valuable I have every learned has caused me to change, and I hope it has caused me to change for the better, to improve.
