One of my professional goals is to regularly visit classrooms and capture learning stories. I love talking to students and teachers who are engaging with technology in meaningful ways. One such story I captured a few months ago involved blogging in a grade 3 classroom. Jens, the teacher for this class, contacted me via email to describe the journey he’s been on with his kids:

The Framework presents a holistic view of 21st century teaching and learning that combines a discrete focus on 21st century student outcomes (a blending of specific skills, content knowledge, expertise and literacies) with innovative support systems to help students master the multi-dimensional abilities required of them in the 21st century.
Because these broader concepts are only helpful for big-picture considerations, challenging student teachers to brainstorm the subordinate concepts might make this visual more meaningful and even useful. For instance, what lessons teach critical thinking skills in the English/Language Arts classroom?

We have a romantic attachment to skills from the past which are no longer relevant on a curriculum for today's children
At the centre of this article there is truth, which is that our children need "new" skills and new ways of developing and using the "old" ones. However, I think there is room for them all, if the curriculum is formulated the right way. Inquiry-based learning, letting the kids ask a question and then search for the answer using a number of resources, is definitely the way to go. Personally I think there will ALWAYS be a place for being able to do maths the old fashioned way, so you understand how it works, but there is also a time to let the technology take you further, to increase that understanding. Room for both.
'While I agree with the basis of this article, we do have a romantic attachment to the past, especially parents who want their children to experience schools as they DID, I don't completely agree with this article. There are reasons for understanding the "way things work" and there are reasons for knowing one's history--as Winston Churchill said, "Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it." That said, this article really speaks to the way we go about learning and, yes, that has really changed.'

Recently, I have been asked quite few times about IWBs and which ones are best etc. My usual answer is 'none' and then I have to explain, so I thought, instead of explaining I would write this post so that I could point people towards each time they ask.

"The easiest way to integrate iPads in the classroom is to think about changing 1 element of your lesson."
That is all it takes. Being brave enough to change just one thing. Instead of this...do that. Tech is a tool. Pick the right tool for job!
This is great advice for all change - It is often easier to change one thing and then another and another rather than to face a complete transformation.

While they’re wondrous little devices capable of enchanting learners for hours, to get the learning results you’re likely after will take planning, design, and reflection"

Teacher-recommended iPad & iPhone math apps for kids that parents can install, such as Algebra Touch, Geometry Pad, Connect Sums, etc.
As written in the comment, these apps help prevent learning loss in summer when the school is closed. But why is the school closed in a virtual world?
edshelf is a pretty neat curation tool that in this case Glenda Stewart-Smith of Surrey School District #36 in Canada has used to put together this collection of iPhone and iPad apps to cover all kinds of mathematical concepts in fun and engaging ways. It’s perfect for going on the road and keeping your little ones busy and learning.

Here’s a list of blogs that feed my teaching soul, hunger for knowledge, and need for deeper insights into teaching, learning and writing. There are so many wonderful blogs that it’s impossible to list them all here, so I’m listing the ones that have been most relevant to my own professional development. As such, they should be relevant to any teacher who wants to turn online teaching and/or publishing into a fully-fledged career.
Good article highlighting some blogs I haven't heard of and will want to check out. Recommending to teachers on my campus.

Does new technology conflict with or complement established teaching and learning? What is the impact on the teaching profession as we have traditionally known it? Will the power of the internet, with new innovations such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), create an unstoppable ‘avalanche’ of education reform, or are these reforms a false revolution? Can the value of face-to-face quality learning and student-teacher relationships ever really be questioned, at any level of education? Will the class room, lecture theatre, and traditional notion of education space – schools and universities – be usurped by a screen, online and distance learning, or alternative spaces such as the workplace, home, or concert-hall?
Food for thought! I think we can't underestimate these new trends breaking into our classrooms... at least in order to be able to see if they will definitely come here to stay.
The discussion is more than a hour so make sure you're comfortable before you start viewing.

The technology they use in their personal lives just makes sense for use in their learning as well. If a student badly wanted a new tablet or app for his or her own personal use but wanted nothing to do with it for any kind of learning whatsoever, we may need to look at the disconnect.
But there are other reasons why education consistently turns to technology
three main goals of technology in education:
- scale
- bells and whistles, engagement
- personalised learning

Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation theory is the basis for several different models of organizational change, and it is the theory that is taught in most instructional technology programs at the Masters or Doctorate level. Organizations will not change until the people within them are ready to change, and those people have differing attitudes towards change. In a one-to-one program, often the resistance isn’t towards using technology but instead it’s resistance towards change itself.
The title of this article is a bit deceptive, it's really about piloting, but does hit on some very relevant points.
