Students First - then look at the technology

Students First - then look at the technology | iGeneration - 21st Century Education | Scoop.it
Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner.
Louise Robinson-Lay's curator insight, March 8, 4:44 PM

The ASCD publish magazines for educators on important issues. This issue is on the use of technology.

Guy Garey's curator insight, March 14, 4:36 AM

This is an excellent article that essentially asks all of us - student, teacher, administrator (& even parent) to consider just what is meant by education. The technology available now prods us, forces us, to consider society... a world with different capabilities. It can be, as Mr Richardson says, additive - that is doing the old thing a new way (ironically using a biblical allusion of old wine in new wineskins - some things never change). Or, our reaction can be ecological, that is essentially changed. This may be a case of simultaneously being 'the medium is the message' (our tech forces us to do things differently, and 'the medium is not the message' ('he tangata, he tangata, he tangata - it is people, it is people, it is people'). Highly recommended.

Tech does not drive the learning, learning has to drive the technology.
