  12. So What CAN a Teacher Do??

  13. Today’s Networked Student

  14. John Cotton Dana – b 1856 "Who dares to teach must never cease to learn."

  15. The Fear Factor • When did we stop exploring? • When did it all of a sudden become dangerous to click on something on our computer where we really don’t know what might happen? • At what age do we lose that sense of adventure where we no longer take a risk? • Every educational technology person must help fellow teachers get over this fear. To encourage them to explore these amazing digital tools

  16. Steps Toward Teacher Integration • 1. Awareness: • Teachers have to know what tools exist • You can’t know them all, but you can learn from your peers in school and on-line • 2. Experimentation: • You need to try things to see how they work (or not) and how they can be applied • 3. Collaboration with colleagues: • Working together means you are not alone and can support each other • 4. Start Your Own Projects/Activities: • Adapting and customising

  17. The Digital Education Revolution • All high school students Yrs 9-12 will receive a laptop starting mid-2009! • This will affect ALL teachers. If K-8 teachers don’t prepare students what will happen when they hit year 9? • Remember, this is a digital EDUCATION revolution, NOT a DIGITAL education revolution – Teachers MUST be involved • The “National Curriculum” may be our last chance to get it right: • to get ICT embedded into teaching and learning • to make pedagogy through ICT a reality and not just an expectation in our students’ eyes.

  18. Start Your Own Revolution • Survey the students - what would they like to use, why and how does it apply? • Involve a few teachers at a time to construct the activity to be run across classes • Set up a non-threatening environment • Regular hands-on meetings • Encourage experimentation • Share discoveries, successes and fails • Include a sceptic in each group

  19. Tomorrow’s Connected Teacher

  20. More Quotable Quotes for Teachers • “Past success is no guarantee of future relevance.” • “To stand still is to fall behind.” • “It was easier to fake it when things weren't changing so fast...” • “21st Century Teachers need 21st Century Skills.” • “Technology is only technology to those who were born before it.” • “Teachers need to stop saying, “Hand it in,” and start saying “Publish it.” • “We need to prepare students for THEIR future not OUR past.”

  21. Questions? Thank you for your attention [let’s watch a video about change]
