  2. Lifelong learning Distance education e-Learning Recently, we run in-service course for teachers on: distance education(supported by EU) using: e-learning approach, methodology, tools to prepare teachers for: LLL M.M. Sysło

  3. New technology in education – hardware • laptop, tablet – mobile computers, mobile phone • Interactive White Board • Voting (testing) system • Wireless access to the net • New technology in education – software • CMS: Moodle • LMS: Fronter • e-portfolio – personal archives, reflective comments Access to technology is today not restricted to a physical place New Technology … M.M. Sysło

  4. Development: • Ratio: students/computers → 1 what next? • Teachers take part in in-service training on ICT in non-informatics subjects? Generally no effect in the classroom • UK, 2005: estimated that more than 50% of what students are supposed to learn in schools they learn when they are not in school • digital divide • in traditional sense • also between school and non-school (EU) New technology … eSchool M.M. Sysło

  5. Now in schools in Poland: teachers, students „are looking for technology in schools” – hardware, software, Internet are only available at special places, like computer labs. Our plan is such that: Technology is available in all the places where it is needed for students, teachers, head teachers, staff, parents, local authorities. Technology here is understood as: Hardware, software, Internet, communication, school and personal resources, data eSchool

  6. No corelation between school needs and decisions National initiatives by the Ministry of NationalEd.: • Hardware (comp labs) sent to schools, • In-service teachers’ training • Content provider – the same for all schools • Computers used mainly in computer labs eSchool: • Computer and network technology and resources available in all place, where needed by students, teachers, parents, administrators • Teachers’ training integrated with school needs • Introduction of a platform (Fronter) as a place for personal learning and archives of personal resources eSchool

  7. Information Technology (IT) – first: • as a subject – students learn IT • then: • IT as education technology– supporting other subjects and activities • IT integrated with other subjects and disciplines – as a part of almost all disciplines moreover:IT stimulates development of other disciplines which incorporate changes in IT New technology in education M.M. Sysło

  8. Dynamic process of incorporating technology into education systems. Four stages: • Emerging stage– the beginning stage of IT development when schools get new technology; interests in IT • Applying stage– the use of IT in traditional settings, curriculum, classes; IT is mainly added • Integration stage– IT integrated, embedded into subjects, activities, related to real world use • Transformation stage – rethinking and renewing education and school role and organization; development of IT professions This model is dynamic and applies to each new technology Model for IT (ICT) development M.M. Sysło

  9. Applying the model to e-learning a case study Four stages with regard to teachers, students and schools development: • Emerging stage, our course for teachers, teachers as students in distance education using e-learning • Applying stage, teachers use what they have learnt with their students; this is the emerging stage for students • Integration stage: teachers design a course integrating traditional approach with e-learning tools and methods (blended approach) • Transformation stage: school as an element of LLL in the society, applying e-learning in distance education M.M. Sysło

  10. Old question: how to prepare for the future? – difficult to answer since we do not know the future, especialy related to IT, insted: • teach how to learn – do not: exclude, e-exclude, divide and teach how to built ones own learning (e-portfolio?), and prepare for: • LLL – built „a system” of learners in addition to (or in the place of?) the traditional system New technology and New learning M.M. Sysło

  11. Development of ideas how to prepare in new information and communication technologies, the scope of preparation: • computer literacy – basic computer and net skills • fluency with IT – additional skills and competencies: basic informatics ideas and intellectual abilities (abstract thinking) • computational thinking – competencies built on the power and limits of computing processes 3R (reading, writing, arithmetic) + IT → 3R + computational thinking New informatics and ICT technologies M.M. Sysło
