  2. PARTNERSHIP FOR 21ST CENTURY SKILLS

  3. Technology in NCLB • To improve student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary schools and secondary schools. • To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability. • To encourage the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher training and curriculum development to establish research-based instructional methods that can be widely implemented as best practices by State educational agencies and local educational agencies.

  4. SD Educational Technology Standards • Strand 1: Nature and Concepts • Understand history and progression of technology in relation to the development & design of future technology. • Analyze relationships and connections between technologies in different fields of study and how they apply to communities. • Understand and use the design process in problem solving. • Strand 2 – Social Interactions • Understand the safe, ethical, legal, and societal issues related to technology. • Investigate the advantages and disadvantages of technology. • Strand 3 – Information and Communication Tools • Use technology to enhance learning, extend capability, and promote creativity. • Evaluate and select information tools based on appropriateness to tasks. • Strand 4 – Information and Communication Processes • Understand purpose of information technologies to communicate with a variety of collaborators. • Exchange information and ideas for an identified purpose through information technologies. • Strand 5 – Information Literacy and Decision Making • use technology to locate and acquire information. • determine the reliability and relevancy of information.

  6. The Times are Changing

  7. Oregon Trail—the digital landscape • Baby Boomers (1941-1960) discovered the “new world” • Generation X (1961-1976) became the pioneers • Millennials are the settlers, the new society • Computers aren’t technology • The internet is better than TV • Doing is more important than knowing • Learning more closely resembles Nintendo than logic • Multitasking is a way of life • Staying connected is essential • Zero tolerance for delay Remember, you are only as old as you feel!

  8. Where in the Digital World are you? The Immigrant Accent The Native Speakers • Think in paper • Use email • Work independently • Step by step • Text focus • One at a time • Deliberate speed • Think digitally • Use txt msg & IM • Work collaboratively • Random access • Graphics focus • Multi-tasking • Twitch speed Taken from presentations by Marc Prensky

  9. So what? • Stand up if you know a kid • Who owns a laptop • Who owns an iPod/mp3 player • Who owns a cell phone • Who text messages • Who uses IM (instant messaging) • Who plays video games • Who uses any other piece of technology Do YOU do any of these?

  10. The Pew Info • There is a widening gap between techno-savvy students and their schools • Many schools and teachers have not yet recognized – much less responded to – the new ways students communicate and access information over the Internet • Students want more and more engaging internet activities at school that are relevant to their lives

  11. Introducing School 2.0 • Listen to this 3 minute clip from Dr. Tim Tyson, middle school principal. http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/item.php?itemID=11842

  12. According to some South Dakota High School Students • Less than 50% of their time is spent on • Community/work-based projects or internships • Hands on/laboratory activities • Small group collaboration to find collective solutions • Providing input on classroom activities or topics • Explaining their thinking in essay form • Working on complex problems • More than 50% of their time • Working individually answering questions

  14. Four things that hold us back from innovating, or that make us get innovation a bit wrong: 1. Thin-slicing 2. Fear=loathing? 3. Overplanning 4. "Why bother?"Kids are changing. The 16 year old in 2007 is entering the employment market with only internet-age experiences on which to rely (the internet came into being in 1991). The six year old entering elementary school expects the web to allow them to publish and share their views with the world. http://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2007/03/so_motivating_y.html

  15. Web 2.0

  16. What is Web 2.0?

  17. The New WWW “We can engage [students] in the joys of learning, of making meaning, of being part of something larger than themselves, of testing themselves against authentic challenges. We can shift them from passivity and consumption to action and creativity.” Tom March, ASCD January 2006

  18. Web 2.0 is not just about My Space • It is about interactivity • Collaboration • Connecting to • Information • People • Now • In real time • Or second life time….

  19. Web 2.0 is about YOU • Use the tools provided by this expanded version of the Internet to stay informed • RSS—collect feeds so you know when new information has been posted • Social bookmarks—collect resources and share them with others • Use the tools to better know and understand the millennials for whose education you are responsbile (and who are constantly hacking into or around your systems!). • Use the tools to better manage your time.

  20. Cool Tools…Compliments of the Read/Write Web • Social (educational) bookmarking • http://del.icio.us or http://ikeepbookmarks.com • Class blog • http://edublogs.com • Wikispaces • http://eduwikius.wikispaces.com/ • Podcasting • http://itunes.com • Twitter Trails • http://twitter.com • Flickr Images • http://flickr.com/

  21. Delicious Social Bookmarking • Example: I find this blog and I think it’s interesting. This looks like a site I could use in the future when talking about web2.0, techintegration, or blogs. • http://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2007/03/so_motivating_y.html • Instead of saving it to my favorites or bookmarks, where only I have access, and where it rests on the HD of one machine, I post it to my del.icio.us account. • I can also include a note and tags for future referencing. Plus, now everyone in my delicious network can see the resource, and I can access it from anywhere.

  22. RSS—Really Simple Syndication • When I was looking at the site, I noticed the RSS symbol was orange (using IE7). This tells me the site is updated regularly. • Rather than my wasting time checking back every day to see if there is anything new, I choose to subscribe to this feed. • Now in my IE7 favorites, I can also see which sites of interest to me have new content and go there. • As with del.icio.us, I can use an online aggregator to collect these feed for access from any computer.

  23. Technology Integration “Integrating technology is not about technology – it is primarily about content and effective instructional practices. Technology involves the tools with which we deliver content and implement practices in better ways. Its focus must be on curriculum and learning. Integration is defined not by the amount or type of technology used, but by how and why it is used.” Rodney Earle, 2002

  24. Characteristics of • Application • Collaborative Work • Ethical Use • Infusion • Improved Learning Environment • Proficiency • Student Involvement • Utilization netc.org, iste.org, metiri.com, nces.ed.gov

  25. LOOK TO THE FUTURE “Students cannot possibly learn everything of value by the time they leave school, but we can instill in them the desire to keep questioning throughout their lives.” ~Grant Wiggins
